iPod Touch 3G Errors
Well, I recently purchased an iPod Touch 3G on Ebay. When I bought it, the page said that it was stuck at the restore screen. It didn't come with a cable, so I figured that it was merely a matter of restoring it in iTunes.
Was I ever wrong.
I get it, plug it into the computer (with a cable I have) in a frenzy, and click restore. It downloads 5.1.1, but when it tries to install it, it gets error code 9. I try several more times, but the same thing happens.
After trying many things, it suddenly gives me the error 3194 (and I don't think it was jailbroken to begin with, though I can't be certain). I keep trying, and it makes the iPod start up partway, then crash and shut down, start up partway, and repeat. I get it into restore mode again (though a few times it went into DFU mode) and try again. I also tried editing the hosts file, but that didn't change anything. I try it on another computer, but it gives me error 1611. I try yet again, but get error 9 -- I am back where I started.
A few notes for those of you who will help me:
Obviously, I restarted my computers several times during this.
I have 2 Windows computers and 1 Mac at my disposal, so I should be able to do whatever you have as a suggestion.
I copied the .ipsw file from the original download to the other computers-I am downloading another copy just to see if it was corrupted or something (though I doubt it).
And I don't mind if I have to jailbreak it (or anything else). I just want it working.
So, can you help me?
Thank you in advance-
