5th Gen Ipod Touch Stuck in Recovery Mode.

I put my ipod touch (the most recent one available) in recovery mode. When i tried getting it out of recovery mode it went back to it. I tried re-doing recovery mode and reseting and doing a whole lot of other things but still its stuck in recovery mode. I even tried putting the ipod in DFU mode but the ipod device doesn't want to. I tried powering off the ipod but it won t turn off, all it keeps doing is restarting and going back into recovery mode (it shows the usb and the itunes logo on the screen). Should i let the battery drain then plug it in the computer later then try DFU mode again, or can someone help me please solve this problem?

iPod touch, iOS 6.0.1

Try:

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)

Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
