touch has been bricked

[mowlavie]

Hi everyone, my ipod touched totaly bricked during the jailbreaking process. I do not know what to do; all it does it completly restarts over and over again. Ive tried everything like restoring it to factory setting, but It still continues the same problem. I just bought it from target a week ago, should I return it there and would they accept it or should I send it back to apple. Thanks members for all your hard work and commitment in the forums!!

Too bad for you. I guess you should have listened to Apple and not screwed around with your purchase. Sorry to say but you deserve it.

Why bother posting something like that?

Anyways, have you tried forcing the iPod Touch into "restore" mode:

While connected to the computer hold the home button and lock button.
Ignore the slide to power off. When you see the Apple logo, RELEASE THE LOCK BUTTON - NOT THE HOME BUTTON, keep holding until the iTunes recognizes it as an Apple restore device.

True.

If you want to be a "hacker" then deal with the consequences of your actions. And no, don't defraud either Apple or Target by taking back a device that you recklessly broke.

Sorry about your iPod Touch, though.

Wow...you realize how unethical that is? You're lying to others in order to get a new iPod Touch because you're not willing to accept and admit what you did. You chose to hack the iPod Touch, and Apple's given warnings on what that can do. If you choose to do so, then you should have fully expected the consequences.

dude u inspired me to hack my iPod I have wanted to b4 but was scared to if u have a safe and easy way to jailbreak pleaseee tell me or if u no some1 tell me thank you

 

[JWest]

Ugh. Ok here's the thing:

a) Know what you're doing before trying
b) It's not bricked. It can be restored using one of several tricks, but I'm too lazy to post them
c) Try looking in one of the millions of other "OMG I BRICKZORED MY ITOUCHZ! WHAT I DO?!!?!??" threads for other solutions
d) For future reference, hardware mods are really the only way that you can truly brick a touch, so don't freak out if it happens again.

Ease up on the emoticon. It barely makes sense in the contexts you're using. Also, I'm asking nicely, can you please learn how to spell and write coherently.

On topic, to the OP, you probably haven't bricked it. Just do a force restore like everyone else suggests.

wonder if you'd practice what you preach if it was your iPod Touch that had bricked...

christ its not bricked it doesn't need to go back to target, you obviously never tried to restore correctly just follow the below as posted by Sedulous and you will have a fully working touch again, make sure you have the 1.1.1 restore ipsw file.

have you tried forcing the iPod Touch into "restore" mode:

While connected to the computer hold the home button and lock button.
Ignore the slide to power off. When you see the Apple logo, RELEASE THE LOCK BUTTON - NOT THE HOME BUTTON, keep holding until the iTunes recognizes it as an Apple restore device.

when it has recognised the touch in recovery, hold down the shift key (pc) or the options key (mac) then press restore, now make sure you point itunes to the 1.1.1 restore file, you can download this here make sure you put it in a place you will remember, navigate to it then hit open and itunes will hopefully restore to 1.1.1 and then when restored point the touch's safari at jailbreakme.com and it will auto jailbreak.

when jailbroken DONT DO ANYTHING ELSE JUST USE INSTALLER............ was that a bit dramatic? lol

The OP deserves no less than scolding. His little faux-hacker mentality is clearly deficient because he can't accept the consequences of what he did. Why would I encourage him to take advantage of a lax return policy? He doesn't deserve a new one.

This thread gave me 2.5 minutes of entertainment, I thank you all.

He doesn't need a new iPod... he can just as easily fix his iPod as he broke it. It's JUST software. The hacks don't modify the hardware of the unit, so as long as you follow the instructions that everyone else gave you, you'll be all set. I don't think I've ever seen someone who has actually completely bricked their iPods. They usually just freak out like you and return them or they FOLLOW the proper instructions about FORCING it in to RESTORE MODE and simply restore the iPod to factory settings. That's all. The jailbreak cannot "brick" your iPod.

I really wish you people would keep your damn noses out of this sort of thing. It doesn't help the OP and it certainly doesn't make you look any better.

I had the same problem. Connect your ipod to another PC and it sohuld work.
