Nano 2G DFU Mode (Stuck) Cannot do anything

I have a red 2nd Gen nano 4gb .
I unplugged the cable during restore and now its corrupted .
Here is the story:
I had the white blank LCD problem , the ipod would work and play , but no display unless i do a restore which would temp fix the problem .
Anyway .. after trying a hundred restores and resets i decided to corrupt the firmware (by unplugging the cable during restore) in the hope that the ipod firmware can be completely erased and re-written with restore in itunes .
Now i the computer is finding an ipod in dfu mode
Itunes is saying that it cant recognize the ipod
I've tried reseting the ipod but it doesnt help .
I cannot see what is on the display because the lovely blank lcd prob is still there .
Any ideas ?? Its a shame to throw away a 100% scratch free nano .. Please help

Have you tried using it with a program other than itunes, such as Sharepod.exe?
Also, if you have disk mode enabled, open it as a drive, and go to iPod_Control\Device. Look for a file called ExtendedSysInfoXml, and see what it says about the display.
I've unplugged the cable during restore (I've tried everything and anything to get the nano to unlock). It doesn't do a thing for unlocking, but it also didn't kill the display screen either.

  • Nano 4G DFU Mode?

    Hello, I've got a iPod Nano 4th Gen.
    When I try to restore the iPod in iTunes it gives the error 1601?
    Connected to my laptop without iTunes it says 'DFU device'?
    I can't get the iPod out of DFU mode to restore. Any help appreciated.

  • Restore iPod nano in DFU mode?

    I have a 6th gen nano (received a few months back in the battery replacement programme for 2nd gen nanos) which suddenly stopped working. I have tried holding Power + Volume Down buttons to reset without success.
    Holding down these buttons while it is connected to a mac causes it show up as a 'USB DFU Device' in System Profiler. It does not appear in the side bar in iTunes, but iTunes does give an error message: 'The iPod software update server could not be contacted. The server does not support this version of iTunes'. iTunes is up to date and I'm running ML on this machine. (Have also tried it under older versions on other macs with Lion and SL.)
    I have read suggestions to erase the nano, but it does not mount on the desktop or appear as a device in Disk Utility under OS X, or show up as a recognized device on a Windows machine.
    Any suggestions?

    I had updated to 10.8 only a fortnight ago, but figured I'd give the suggestion a shot. Upon connecting the nano for the first time after reinstalling iTunes, it stayed on 'waiting for ipod' for a _long_ time before giving a new error message:
    "An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again. An unknown error occurred (1601)."
    Subsequent attempts to connect give the original error: 'The iPod software update server could not be contacted. The server does not support this version of iTunes'. It is still showing up in System Profiler as a USB DFU Device. Quitting and re-opening iTunes get it to display the error again, so it is seeing it, and recognizes that it needs to be restored, but can't process it for some reason.
    Google turns up a lot of jailbreak stuff for error 1601; will sift through and report back if I find anything that makes a difference.

  • Cannot restore my brand new iphone 4s ,got stuck in DFU mode and itunes shows error code (-1) please help?

    Cannot restore my brand new iphone 4s ,got stuck in DFU mode and itunes shows error code (-1) please help?
    repeatedly tried from diffierent computers and the same error code pops up (error -1)

    That's a hardware problem which will require a trip to the Apple store for evaluation, unless your phone has been jailbroken, then it's a corrupt hosts file (and we can't help you with that here as it is against the forum's terms of use).

  • IPod nano 4th gen stuck in dfu mode.

    I have a problem with my son's iPod Nano 4th Gen.
    When I try to restore the iPod in iTunes it gives the error 1601 and says it doesn't recognise the iPod.
    When connected to my laptop without iTunes it says 'usb DFU device'.
    I have tried every combination of buttons, before anyone tells me to 'just hold in menu and select'.
    I can't get the iPod out of DFU mode to restore. Any help is much appreciated.

  • My iPod Touch is stuck in DFU Mode

    Hi,
    My Third Generation iPod Touch is stuck in DFU Mode (Completely Black Screen) and I cannot exit it as I have a broken Sleep/Wake button on the iPod. Even worse, iTunes will not see the device so I can restore it.
    The only thing that I can think of is to wait until it's battery has completely drained and then restore it.
    Please help me!

    Try placing the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs and then restoring:

    or

    Are you using a valid Apple charger that came with the iPad?
    Attempting to use a computer USB port, an incompatible charger, or attempting to charge via a wall socket that only receives power from a wall switch — can all lead to a low, or depleted battery condition. Has this iPad been wet, or dropped?
    Verify all of the above, and correct. If the iPad still cannot hold a charge, consider taking to an Apple Store, or authorized service provider to evaluate it.

  • Everytime I try to restore a backup on my iPhone 5 from iTunes the phone goes in DFU mode and stay stuck

    i backed my phone up on itunes and then I changed the battery on my own. the problem is that I can set the phone as a new one but when I try to restore a backup it goes on DFU mode and stay stuck. What can I do?

    Once you opened the device you voided any post-warranty support from Apple or the forum. You are on your own. You can try a 3rd party repair facility, but you cannot get any help here or from Apple.

  • My iPhone 3gs is stuck on apple logo even after a restore on DFU mode, what can I do?

    Hi guys, I just got an iPhone 3gs from my girlfriend and it was working perfectly, I restore it from the phone by erasing all data on it, and it wont boot after that, it is stuck on the apple logo, I've tried restoring it in recovery mode and even in DFU mode, but it's not working, what should I do?

    If you live near an apple store make an appointment.  They will perform a DFU restore using known good equipment.
    If that doesn't work you probably have liquid damage.

  • My ipod touch 2nd generation is stuck at recovery mode when I tried to update from a 3 software to a 4 software. I tried puting it in DFU mode to fix it but a window pops up about  the computer found new hardware and needs a cdrom. What do I do?

    My Ipod is stuck at restore mode, when I downloaded fixrecovery and zlib1, they gave me a file which I can't open iBSS.n72ap. Fixrecovery wanted me to put it in DFU mode and I did but a window from my computer pops up telling me that it found new hardware and wants a CDrom to install. The ipod did not come with a CDrom software. It wont go back, and iTunes does not recongnize it. What should I do?

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
