Solved iPod Touch 4G Recovery Loop Cuz Of iOS 4.2

Hey guys
Well dunno if it might help you but as for me it worked after days of searching all posible blogs an net so here is how I did it:
1. On Google search for iOS 4.1 download
2. download the zip file and change the extension for .ipsw
3. open iTunes and **** + Click on restore
4. Choose the iPod4, restore.... ipsw file
5. Click on acept or yes to restore
this will start to open up the iOS 4.1 and installing it on your iPod and after that it will show up your info and stuff you had there before so it ill reset once again this time getting off of the Itunes and cable logo
6. let iTunes recognize your device
7. DONE
You can actually hit on the update button and it will update ypur iOS to 4.3 the latest one I got.
Good Luck

i jailbroke it though for testing apps a friend of mine made and its proved because ive also changed the boot logo and thats seen in the boot loop so the warranty thing might be now voided ive used it fine for 3 months this way until now

  • I updated my iPod touch 4th generation from the latest iOS 4 update (i think maybe iOS 4.3.5 or something like that) to iOS 5.1.1 and my Photos, Videos, contacts, music, App data, etc. was deleted. How can I all the data back?

    I updated my iPod touch 4th generation from the latest iOS 4 update (i think maybe iOS 4.3.5 or something like that) to iOS 5.1.1. I updated to iOS 5.1.1 on a Windows XP Home Edition with the Service Pack 3 installed on the Windows XP (which I believe is the latest version). After updating, I unplugged my iPod from the computer. I saw that all my photos and videos were on my iPod, but there were no apps. A window popped up and told me to enter a passcode for my iPod. I entered a passcode. I then locked my iPod and entered what I thought to be the correct passcode, but my iPod remained unlocked. Desperate, I tried many passcodes with failure. After a while, my iPod became disabled for a long time. I decided to reset my iPod. After I reseted it, I chose to reset from my earlier back up. After reseting, my computer loaded on all my apps. But, when I started using my iPod, I realized all my photos, videos, music, app data (like game saves and high scores), etc. were gone! I have no idea what to do and I am very stressed about this! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME GET ALL MY STUFF BACK!!!!!!

    Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
    When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
    Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
    It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup.

    On the computer you should be able to go to the network properites. Go to the TCP part and unchec the line that says obtaind DNS automatically and check the one that says use the following. Add the 8.8.8.8 and Google other 8.8.4.4.

  • IPod Touch 4 is very slow on iOS 5.1

    My iPod Touch 4G is very slow on iOS 5.1. I don't want to downgrade to iOS 4XXX. Apple must do something on that. I don't think it is because of the 256MB ram. Because my iPhone 3GS have also 256MB and iOS 5.1 run very smooth and is fast. Why is iOS 5.1 on the iPod touch so terrible?
