iPod 5 stuck in recovery mode

My iPod 5 was somehow disabled for 24 million hours, so I had to put it in recovery mode. Once I reset it, I tried to downgrade to iOS 9.3.3. When I tried, it gave me error code of I believe 3194. I have tried several times on two different computers to update and restore my iPod. I have tried on both an old version of iTunes and a new version of iTunes. Everytime I try, it gives me an error. How can I reset my iPod?

Check for communication issues

If you see error 1671, iTunes is downloading necessary software. Wait for the download to finish and try again. To see how long the download should take, you can click the down arrow in the upper-right corner of iTunes.

If you see one of the issues below, your computer might not be able to connect to Apple servers or your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:

17, 1638, 3014, 3194, 3000, 3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3015, 3194, 3200
"There was a problem downloading the software."
"The device isn't eligible for the requested build."

Check for communication issues between iTunes and Apple software-update servers. Also check for issues with third-party security software.
