You didn't answer my question. Do you have SHSH blobs for the version of iOS you wish to restore?
FYI, if you don't quote someone, they won't get a notification that you replied.
I just want to go to iOS 6.1.5. I didn't save the SHSH blobs. I would go to iOS 7 but it's an iPod 4. iOS 6.1.5 is the latest version of iOS 6
From iTunes. And if a normal restore doesn't work, you'll need to put the iPod into DFU mode and then restore it.
Tried DFU mode, it said it was not eligable for the requested build. I am on the latest version of iTunes, and even after this the iPod still boots. But what do I do now??
There is an update I can download. Should I do this from the device to unjailbreak it?

Forgot to quote you so you'd get a message, so just ignore this part.

Which iPod touch do you have, are you sure it's a 4G model? Are you letting iTunes download iOS for you, or are you holding down shift while you press the restore button and selecting a file you've got saved locally?
If you use OTA updates on a jailbroken phone, it'll fail and you'll have to put your device in DFU mode and restore that way.
I am absolutely certain I am on a 4G iPod Touch. I am not holding down shift.
Also, I don't care if it wipes my iPod in the processes of unjailbreaking. I really don't care, either way I am going to wipe my iPod, because I am giving it to a family member because I have an iPhone 5S now.
Try typing gs.apple.com in your internet browser, I bet it'll go to cydia. If it does, then that means you need to fix your hosts file
It's strange that it won't allow you to restore.
I had something similar happen with my iPhone 3Gs a long time ago though. I think it had to do with Tiny Umbrella? Do you have any entries in your hosts file for "gs.apple.com"?

Beat me to it!

I used a family member's computer to restore it and it worked fine. Every single app is functional and it is on 6.1.5. But why does it go to cydia?
great! it goes to cydia because your hosts file is redirecting you to cydia's server instead of apple's server
it's the same with how all those "adblockers" on cydia work; the adlinks are redirecting to nothing instead of going to the ad's servers
