iPod Touch 4 Never Ending Bootloop after updating to 6.1 from 5.1.1!!

iPod Touch 4 Never Ending Bootloop after updating to 6.1 from 5.1.1!!

I updated my brothers iPod Touch 4 this afternoon when I noticed that 6.1 was out (from 5.1.1, I know, I am slow) from the iOS Itsself (in Settings). The battery was fully charged.. but in the middle of the update, it got stuck in a never ending boot loop. 😟

Just like that, in the update after the bar made it all the way across, it rebooted, and continued rebooting for ever.

I googled around and found out I could put it in recovery mode (connec to iTunes).. which I did, updated to the latest version of iTunes, and then tried to restore it again that way. iTunes rarely works for me. It keeps throwing an error at me, 54? I'll have to see what that was again...

What I am really wondering, is what can I do to fix this myself? Anyone had this problem? Thanks!

I am on a Windows 7 platform. The iPod stays on with the apple logo no more than 5 seconds before rebooting and repeating that over and over and over again.

iPod touch, iOS 6.1, Updated from 5.1.1 to 6.1. Bootloop

RESOLVED:

After waiting an hour, I got scared and seeked external help..

I ended up fixing my bothers iPod by downloading this program a friend referred me to called "redsnow" I guess.

Under the extras's button, it as something called "Recovery Fix" which is for "Get out of Recovery Mode loop caused by a restore error". Sooo yeah. Fixed!

Hope this can help someone else.
