Crashed iPod Touch, Can't reboot

[69210804]

I recently updated the firmware on my iPod, stupidly forgetting that you shouldn't do that once you've cracked it. I used a program called ibrickr to reinstall the old firmware. I went to bed letting it download the old firmware and when I woke up it was 99.9% done. Figuring it froze or something went wrong I closed ibrickr and started the program back up. It went through a series of steps I'm a little foggy on, but the basic point is that I tried to reinstall the old firmware from the file that I think didn't quite download properly and now every time I plug my ipod in (because the battery died) it will try and boot but can't. It keeps going to the apple logo, then I see a scrolling text thing like it's booting, then it repeats back to the apple logo.....on and on until the battery dies again. Is there a way I can fix this problem or am I f*cked?

Had the same unfortunate experience. Just press both the on/off switch and the home button for 30 seconds or so, until it reboots and display the default factory picture (mine was an invite to plug the USB connector, it could also be a yellow triangle).

I think this neverending loop is due to the mail program being installed while trying to restore.

More details here (check at the bottom of the page), or here.

Good luck! Once you got a hold of the iPod again, iTunes will most probably update it directly to 1.1.2, so you will have to downgrade to 1.1.1 and jailbreak again, check this link, get the zip file on that page, and follow the instruction it contains.
