Q: iPod stuck in Recovery Mode and won't stay connected to iTunes
I tried to update my iPod to iOS 9.2.1 and during the update process something went wrong and my iPod went into recovery mode. I've downloaded two separate programs to help me get it out of this mode. Both of them required me connecting my iPod to a USB port. I went to plug it in, it connected, then when I started the process on the program to exit Recovery mode, the iPod immediately disconnected, interrupting the program's progress, before reconnecting again a few seconds later. I've unplugged and then plugged back in both the cable from my computer and from my iPod multiple times, but it does the same thing over and over. Restarting my iPod does nothing, and restoring does nothing. Anyone have any idea why my iPod doesn't stay connected?
Programs used: iPhone Data Recovery, RecBoot
iPod touch (5th generation), iOS 9.2
