I have a 8gb A1288 (2nd Gen) ipod touch having huge problem during update, please help

I have a 8gb A1288 (2nd Gen) ipod that has been working fine till now. The device asked for a software update and downloaded the necessary software. During the update process; however, something happened and the computer started not recognizing the device now. On the device screen there is a symbol asking for me to connect the cable to itunes but even if I connect it to the computer, the device is not recognized. Resetting the device didn't solve the problem. Could you please help?

Hello!

Tried DFU mode? This stands for Device Firmware Update and/or Download Firmware Upgrade.

This is how to put your device into DFU:


1. Connect to A computer with iTunes open, Turn off (Whilst still connected)

2. Hold Home + Sleep/wake together for 10 seconds.

3. Let go of sleep wake BUT keep holding home for 10 seconds.


This shoould result in a message on your PC/Mac screen. Follow the steps and it should work. Let me know of the results.
