Error 1604 restoring iPod touch

A few months ago, my iPod touch started having some minor issues. It would randomly stop playing and sometimes wouldn't recognize when it was plugged in and wouldn't charge. I restored it and the problem was solved. Recently it started doing it again, but this time it won't restore. It gives me a "Preparing iPod for Restore" message for several minutes, and then gives me an error 1604. I've tried restoring on two different computers with the same results. It was previously usable, but now its stuck in restore mode. Any ideas?

Here's some ideas from the Apple support pages:

  • Getting errors when restoring iPod touch

    I'm trying to restore my iPod Touch to 5.0.1 but I keep getting errors like 3194 and I can't restore it. Any suggestion?

    Hi cornedbeef123 and welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    Have you ever jailbroken your device? If you have and have downgraded it before, you might need to edit the Hosts file on your computer. If you are using Windows, navigate to "C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\Hosts" and edit the file with Notepad. If you are on Mac, go to "/etc/hosts" and open it with TextEdit. Remove any lines you added before and save the file (If you are on Windows Vista or 7, you will need to take ownership of the file first). Then open iTunes and try to restore.

  • HT1339 Why am I receiving network errors while restoring ipod touch?

    When trying to restore our ipod we have turned off all settings within our internet options, and it continues to have errors in timing out.

    Passcodes are not activated automatically. That can only be setup by the user.
    If you can't remember the Passcode, you need to restore the device from the computer it was last synced with.

    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • HT201413 -1 error in restoring ipod?

    -1 error in restoring ipod?

    Verify that you are connecting the ipod touch directly to a usb 2.0 port on your computer, not through a monitor or usb hub. Reboot your computer, on your ipod try changing settings>general>autolock to never before you attempt to update again.
    If that doesn't help Try this posted in another thread:
    Made sure my iPod was OFF (hold down the sleep button till red off slider appears - slide to turn off)
    While plugging in your ipod and during the entire "restore" process hold down the "HOME" button.
