My iPod has been stuck in recovery mode for 3 hours

I was trying to downgrade my iPod 5th generation from iOS 8.1.3 to 8.1 in order to install jailbreak, which, if I do somehow manage to get my iPod working again, I swear to god I will not try again. During this process, which I done using a tutorial, downloading the older version then selecting 'update' with the shift key on iTunes, with my iPod plugged in. Above as it was attempting to downgrade above was the words 'extracting', it was after this process my iPod went into reocovery mode and I have not been able to get it out since. I've tried clicking the home and off button about a million times, it just shows the apple logo briefly and then goes back to the recovery sign. I have no way of contacting apple support as I have no access to a phone and obviously can't input my serial number to perform diagnostics as it instructs via email as I can't get it on. Please help.

Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple. You will get errors/it will not work
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes

The location service of my iPod touch has been stuck

I've an 4G 32GB iPod Touch, iOS 6 it have a problem, my location service has been stuck on Caracas, but I'm on a trip now, and when I conect it on a wifi network and try to get some directions it give me the location of my house in caracas, plz help.
Greetings from venezuela.

Are you connecting to a public network or your own rrouter that you brought with you?
For location the iPod uses the location of nearby wifi routers that are in Apple's database. You do not have to be connected to the network/router to use that router's location. Thus, it appears that the iPod can't see a nearby router that is in Apple's database. Apple continuously updated their database based on info they obtain from iPhones. No one has been able to find a way to inform Apple of a router or correct is location.
If a public network
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset network settings: Settings>GeneraL>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:

IPod Touch 3rd Generation stuck in recovery mode

My daughter got an iPod Touch 3rd Generation for Christmas which was on version 3.1.1. iTunes told us an update to 3.1.2 was available and would we like to update it, we selected yes. The update downloaded and then the iPod wouldn't restore and is stuck in recovery mode with the iTunes symbol and the USB on the screen and giving us an error message 1604. We have tried different ways to get it to restore but it wants to update it to 3.1.2 which apparently has a problem with it. How can we get it to restore back to 3.1.1?

I had the same problem yesterday. I tried restoring countless times, reinstalling iTunes... teh whole nine yards. I eventually called Apple, they didn't know what was wrong with it either.
Unfortunately, its the Touch, not iTunes... you are going to have to return it to where you bought it, and exchange it for a new one. Call Apple, and they will give you a number to give to the store. Alternately, you can go to an Apple store, if you bought it at a retailer (Best Buy, Walmart, ect.) and see what they can do.
Best of luck! ~*~

IPod Touch 4th Gen stuck in recovery mode, no error message!

I have an iPod Touch stuck in recovery mode. It has a picture of a usb cord pointing to the iTunes symbol. When I plug it into a computer it says "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes." So i did. After it had finished it came up with that message again! Also I've tried using DFU mode and it didn't work. Suggestions?

Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

Then try restoring on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

What exactly happens when you restore? Error message?

IPod Touch 2nd Generation stuck in recovery mode?

So I cleaned my iPod screen recently with just little water and a tissue. The screen then kept turning on and off, as if somebody was hitting the lock button repeatedly. I didn't take it seriously and I pushed the lock button myself to try and stop the spastic screen. I left it sitting on my desk for a while, when I come back, it was completely off and would not turn back on.
After time it got better and was able to show me the Apple logo for a couple seconds, then turn off by itself again. Then it was able to display the "Connect to iTunes" picture, so I did and iTunes recognizes it just fine, but the name is reset to "iPod". When I do the restore, it completes it fully and restarts. After it restarts it still shows me the recovery message on iTunes informing me I still can't use it until it is restored. This loop just continues. It's been about 24 hours so far.
Could it really be some sort of water damage? I've cleaned it off before and this never happened. Maybe I should put it in rice?
Help would be tremendously appreciated.

My computer is registering the ipod however itunes is not. Nothing ive tried has made it come up in itunes to let me restore. I've done the basics (i.e multiple computer restarts, switching USB ports, fresh install of itunes. I've checked the forums and everything I've found has involved things that I have been unable to do involving the itunes restore. Please save my ipod from a hammer.

Put your iPod in DFU and restore - Hold the Power and Home until the screen goes black, wait about 2 seconds, release the power button but keep holding the home for 15 seconds, then on iTunes, Restore and Update.

Ipod Touch 64 gig stuck in recovery mode (never jailbroken)...

Hi,
I have used my Ipod Touch for music and for the NYT app. I have never dropped my touch and have always been very careful with it and have never jailbroken it. Recently I used my touch until the battery ran out. So, I went to my pc(Vista Basic 64bit) and plugged im my touch to charge it. At first it came up normally, I disconnected it after 30 min, to check something, got the message that battery power was at our below 20% so I reconnected it and let it charge. I came back later and it had the restore icon displayed on the touch's screen. So, I tried restoring it and got a message after it tried restoring the software that, "The Ipod could not be restored. An unknown error occured(2009)." So, I tried restoring it using my two different Macbook Pros and got the same error. I went to apple's support page and tried restarting the smc(I can't remember the name exactly) on one of the macbooks, turned off the mac, pulled the power cord, held in the power for 5 seconds, then reattached the power cord. I then tried to restore the touch and got the same error. I want to mention that I have done the whole hold the home button and connecting the usb cable and the hold the home button and the sleep/wake button. Do anyone know what else I can do, my warranty is not good anymore on this? Any suggestions would really be appreciated.

Ipod Touch 3G is stuck in recovery mode, but Itunes wont recognize it.

Hey,
yesterday evening, I updated to iTunes 10 and then after that updated my Ipod touch to the latest OS 4.0.2. somewhere along the way during my ipod updating, the cord got pulled out of my PC and I quickly plugged it back in. but it said there was an error during the installation and now my ipod is stuck in recovery (shows the logo and then the itunes and usb screen. it is recognized by my pc just fine, but says its in recovery mode. yet my itunes will not recognize that it is plugged in at all. So I can't even try and fix the problem via itunes. there seems to be nothing to do. Any help would be great.
Thanks.

I am having the same problem. I think it has something with iTunes and not just the PC.

My iPod Touch 3G is stuck in recovery mode.

I've tried different ports, I've disabled firewall and completely uninstalled antivirus and anti-spyware... I've used shift restore, I've tried DFU mode, no other computer to try it on, though.... I'm completely stuck. I have Windows 7 running most recent itunes. I go through this every time there's an update and eventually it would just finally take, but this is a new computer and I've honestly spent every moment that I'm home trying to get this update through.
