Connect the iPod to the computer you normally sync it with and
restore it via iTunes. You may need to connect it in *Recovery Mode* first as described in this article.

I have exactly the same problems with a friends iPod Touch - It says lots of minutes like Missbing. The problem is I put it into DFU by pressing power and home. It goes through the update but then when finished a message comes up saying "the ipod "ipod" could not be restored. This device isn't eligible for the request build/"
She didn't have the password typed incorrectly and the iPod is clean with out and Jailbreaking.
Please help 😀
