Bricked Apple TV won't restore (error 9)

I updated my Apple TV 2 a week ago to ios 4.4. Yesterday I reset it and now I'm stuck at an iTunes logo with a micro-usb pointing at it.

I tried to restore using a microUSB cable without luck (I'm getting "An unknown error occurred (9).". I entered DFU mode and I'm still getting the same error message.

I tried restoring to 4.4 and 4.4.1 and the error is always the same. Tried with 2 different microUSB cables in 2 iMacs and 1 PC.

Anybody is getting this error, too? Any clue on how to unbrick my Apple TV?

Thanks in advance

Was going to throw away my apple tv. Until I read this post and saved it from eternal destruction! 🙂 Thanks!
