sn0wbreeze tethered jailbreak to redsn0w.

[PotenC]

I have an iPod Touch 3G.

So I've been on the sn0wbreeze tethered jailbreak (4.0) for a while now and today tried upgrading it directly to 4.3.1 with redsn0w. Everything went fine except at the part when the pineapple logo was supposed to pop up, the original Apple did instead, and then my iPod reverted to recovery mode. I've been unable to get it out of this mode.

Booting it tethered with redsn0w seems to work, and then pineapple logo does pop up, but all it does it freeze and turn off the iPod after a minute of to.

Is there any way to fix this? I'm really not trying to wipe my iPod clean as I haven't backed up music in a while and would lose a lot of songs.

Thanks in advance.

It sounds like y'all didn't restore to 4.3.1 before you used redsn0w, you just ran redsn0w rc12 pointing to 4.3.1 on your 4.0 sn0wbreeze jailbreak. Is that the case?

Unfortunately, you have to restore to stock (or tethered Pwnagetool/sn0wbreeze) 4.3.1 before running redsn0w pointing to 4.3.1. By running it on iOS 4.0.x, I think you broke some rather important things.

You can try running an emergency ramdisk (process described here) to copy off your music, but you're going to have to restore, either to a custom firmware (sn0wbreeze) or to a stock and then use redsn0w afterwards...

I see. Yeah, that would be where I messed up. Is there any other possible way to copy my music off of the iPod, not counting the one you provided? The thread you pointed me to seems rather complicated and beyond my understanding.

Thanks again.

If iTunes sees your iPhone, you can transfer all purchases from iTunes to your computer. Otherwise, I don't believe there are any methods that won't involve a secure shell (SSH); which at this point will likely require that emergency package to get to your phone's internal storage.

You might want to try something like mediamonkey or yamipod. Unfortunately I can't confirm they will work with the device in this state. It's an option though.
