Ipod touch 2g keeps restarting when in recovery mode

The other day my ipod started restarting on it's own while I was using it. To try and fix this I restored it to it's original settings. When I plugged it into my laptop (windows 7) itunes recognized the ipod as in recovery mode. When I tried to restore the ipod in itunes, the screen of the ipod went from the usb and itunes logo to a glitchy screen (it was shutting off and restarting, thus losing connection with the laptop) and then back to the usb screen. Ultimately, I got a 1611 error. I've tried all the suggestions for the 1611 error online (using a different computer, change usb port, put in dfl mode, etc.) but no matter what I do, my ipod keeps restarting when it's restoring. Help!

Error 1611: This error may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Alsoattempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value (00 499901 064000 0) can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured proxy or security software, such as FoxyProxy, can cause error 1611. To troubleshoot third-party security software, follow these steps.
If you tried everthing above
(from:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error1611)
Then you appear to have a hardware problem.  I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to confirm.

  • TS1363 My Ipod touch 4th Generation, Is stuck in recovery mode.

    Okay, my Ipod touch 4th generation, Is stuck in recovery mode after trying to restore and update it to the latest software. The restore failed and it's now stuck in Recovery mode. I've tried everything, and it just wont work. It won't even recognise in Itunes. Help?

    I don't know if you will see or get this because issue is old but I thought I'd try anyway.  This is what happened to me.  I don't see any responses, if you don't mind me asking, what ever happened with your ipod?  This is my son's and I don't have a store around the corner so I was curious before I make a trip?

  • My iPod touch 4th gen is stuck in recovery mode with a broken 'lock' button.

    My iPod touch 4th generation is stuck in recovery mode with a black screen and I can't get it out. It has a broken lock button and I have tried everything to get it out of recovery mode. Every time I plug it into iTunes, it recognises my iPod and says 'iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used in iTunes, so I have restored it several times and every time, it says there is an unknown error. Please Help!! (my iPod is IOS 6.0.1)

    What is the complete wording of the error message that says unknown error? Usually more information like a error number is also given.

  • IPod Classic froze, tried restart, now in recovery mode.

    I dropped my iPod Classic 160 GB, but it played fine for a while, then it froze. I tried to restart it by doing the slide-the-lock-then-press-Menu-and-middle-button thing, but then it said 'Restore in iTunes.' I tried that but now there is a white screen with a flashing circle-and-slash. It also says 'Do not disconnect.' I still have it connected to my computer. Will this help?

  • My iPod touch 4th generation is stuck in recovery mode. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, but that hasn't helped. I tried clicking restore on the computer but an error message keeps coming up. HELP! PLEASE!

    Like, every time I hit recover, it tries to contact the server or whatever and then it can't find it. The screen is stuck with the iTunes and the USB cable thing on it. Somebody please help me! Do you think if I take this to Radio Shack where my mom bought it for me my warrenty would help either get a new iPod or they could fix this for me? If anybody knows how to fix it, pleaseeeeee, pleeeeease help me out.

    Download RecBoot and see if that will kick it out of recovery mode.

  • My ipod touch second gen is stuck in recovery mode.... :(

    i jail broke my ipod touch so i could use the av wire in it and i noticed that it made my ipod slower. so i went to take it off and while it was restoring it stopped when i was almost done and said"itunes could not restore" so now everytime i try and restore i wont do it and my ipod is stuck in recovery mode telling me to plug it in to itunes

    Ok, now I don't know what 'jail breaking to use the av wire in it' is at all but a few days after my iTouch 4 obtained 2 diagonal cracks in the glass after dropping it on my bathrooms marble floor. I can only guess it hit right on the corner. Now before I had a chance to get it fixed something happened while playing a game and screen blanked out. To make an already too long a story a bit shorter ... It ended up having to restore it. While restoring mine too is stuck in Restore mode, never quite making it all the way to the end before whiting Out screen then once again being told to connect to iTunes. Help anyone???

  • Daughter's iPod touch 4th gen is stuck in recovery mode, won't turn on after I restore it, please help...

    My daughters iPod touch 4th gen is STUCK. Somehow it was disabled because of too many password attempts (my younger daughter was pushing numbers). I connected it to iTunes, did the press and hold power button + home button, then let go of sleep button. iTunes recognized it, gave me the option to restore it and did its thing. Here's the problem, now it won't GET OUT of that mode. After the first attempt, it wouldn't power on after I disconnected it from the computer. So I hooked it up again, and it says its detected an iPod in recovery mode and offers me the same "update & restore" option it did originally. Now what??? Please help. My daughter just got this two weeks ago for her birthday.
