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.

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 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How to put my apple tv 3rd generation into DFU mode

    I tried the way that I google on the internet which only plug the micro USB into the apple tv and connect it to the PC, but I don't see the light flashing at all. and my apple TV is on software 5.0(4099) version. And then I plug the power cord as well and open iTunes, the iTunes can recognize the apple TV and everything seems working fine inside the iTunes. So I believe the USB cable is working fine.
    Have anyone put your apple TV 3 into DFU mode before?

    Hi!
    I´m sorry i dont have a solution to your problems because i have the very same problem.
    My Apple Tv (3rd gen) freezes in menu and i cant restore it in iTunes (Error 1611).
    So i´ve heard that you should put your device in DFU mode, and apparently its really easy for 2nd gen, but for some reason, no-one knows how to do it in 3rd gen, not even Apple support!!
    Why does it have to be so hard? i mean it should be as easy as for the 2nd gen. I hope someone answers to this thread.

  • I have a factory unlocked iphone 4 that is jailbroken and i want to restore it but it gives me an error code 21 when it is on and an error code 1602 when in DFU mode. is there any way around this???

    i just baught my first iphone and it is a jalbroken and factory unlocked version of an iphone 4 running ios 6.0.1.

  • Help!! Ipod couldn't update, so tried to DFU mode and it still wont update or even turn on!!

    Help! My Ipod touch won't update! When I try to update it gives me a "network timed out" error message. I have tried everything. Disabling my antivirus, turning off my firewall, changing the time sync. So I tried to restore it in DFU mode, but it still is givng me a "network timed out" message. Now my ipod is blank and won't restore or update. What can I do? Have gone both to the apple store and geek sqaud for help and both blame it on each other. Any ideas?

    Disabling the computer's security software (firewall and antivirus) usually resolves that error.

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like you had one issue and then got a second trying to resolve the first. A frustrating situation for sure. The first article linked has what to do if it is not powering on unless plugged in. The second article addresses the error you are receiving when trying to restore.

  • 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.

  • HT1349 hi, i am trying to enable my sons disabled ipod touch after he changed the passcode and forgot about it. I can get it into dfu mode but when im trying to restore it using itunes it keeps tripping out with an error message saying could not be restor

    hi
    my son has disabled his ipod touch and has forgotton the pass code, i have followed all the websites and got it into dfu mode but when itunes is restoring it back to its factory settings it is telling me that there are about 35 hours to go and then an error message comes up saying a problem with uploading and that my network isnt working (which is wrong) and to try again......donr this about 10 times now and everytime get the same error message......any help would be much appreciated
    cheers
    Paul

    Ask him if he has 'jailbroken' the ipod touch. Some jailbreaking firmware resets it to Ipad firmware and so it is very difficult to restore as itunes simply doesnt recognise it for what it is. It's Apple's solution to try and stop mass jailbreaking.

  • My ipod touch wont turn on!! i have tried EVERYTHING!!! rebooting , trying to put it in DFU mode , pressing volume , power and home buttons , charging it but nothing works!it doesn't show up in itunes. my warranty is expired. what to do please help!

    MY ipod touch 5 wont turn on. i tried holding the power and home button together to reboot but didnt work. i tried pressing only the home or power button but no response . it doesn't show up in itunes. i tried keeping i in charge but it doent even show the charging icon! it does not show the no battery icon either. i tried leaving it with no disturbance for a few hours but still no luck . it has no response . My 1 year warranty is already expired. is my ipod officially and completely DEAD????

    See if you missed anything here
    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. The appointment is free. No warranty required
