I have a jail broken iPod Touch 2G 32GB. It was running firmware 2.2.1 . I jail broke using a software that did have a GUI (graphic user interface) but it was NOT quickpwn. I installed a "custom boot screen". My iPod worked for a week fine. I accidentally pressed the "restore" button in the app "aptbackiup" so I tried to press the home key. It kept restoring so I pressed the sleep and home key at the same time so I can force shutdown/reboot. Now my iPod is stuck on my boot screen. I have forced restarted many times and the screen restarts but again stays at the boot screen. Windows will (after restarting the iPod) recognize the iPod as though it is connected as normally for about 5-10 minutes. One minute after windows recognizes my iPod, the iPod (while on the boot screen) will make the "now connected to computer" sound. As I was writing this description what happened was that while on the boot screen the iPod flashed a white screen for a second and then went right back to rebooting all the way from the first step as I descried. Also: Even though Windows will recognize the iPod and I can view the pictures on the iPod, iTunes will not recognize it and I cannot SSH.
I think this is stuck in a "rebooting loop" AKA "boot loop."
DARN! I read online that a rebooting loop's solution is to put it into "DFU" mode. I know how to do it but whenever the ipod is reconnected to the computer it starts ups again. I am currently re-jailbreaking my iPod.
