in command prompt: dfu.exe iBSS.m68ap.RELEASE.dfu
In my case, itunes detected it, and didn´t set it back to recovery. But, again, it said iphone instead of ipod and got error (5).
I had to shut it down with home+sleep and after reboot it was in recovery mode, then i got it out of recovery with ibrickr.
Back to square 1! :P

That is not working for me either.
Can you tell me the exact procedure you are following in regards to DFU?
Do you have iTunes open?
What state is your touch in?
Mine is only detected by DFU.exe when I try and manually put the phone in DFU and then it crashes, both in XP and vista. iTunes then opens and kicks back into recovery mode.
How did you get iTunes to ignore it?

are you actually seeing the ipod plug and itunes logo on your ipod?

No, Black screen, as DFU screen should be.

Then I don't understand why you think it's in recovery and not dfu. You guys are confusing me. . . The problem is you can't flash the 2.0 firmware on because you can't get your ipod to stay in dfu but you say that the screen is black. That is dfu. Itunes sees it and says its found an ipod in recovery mode. If you get any errors after that you have to reinstall itunes. Thats all there is. . . no more options. The only other problem you may have is when you try to flash with a custom 2.0 firmware and haven't pwned itunes with winpwn. Am I missing anything?

When iPhone goes to DFU and the USB port is RECOGNIZED by the pc... iTunes opens. iTunes AUTOMATICALLY DISCONNECTS AND RECONNECTS the attached USB port (Via windows USB sounds this can be recognized), and when reconnected it is in recovery mode. The iPhone screen stays black but it IS in recovery mode.
I have tries iTunes 7.4,7.5,7.6,7.7 with CLEAN installs.
I have tried, XP, VISTA, OSX 10.5.3.

I think I am going to hsort the battery... the phone may be on a loop.

Interesting. That's the exact same thing that mine does (even now when I put it in dfu) and it flashes just fine. (though the first time I did it when going from 1.1.4 to 2.0 it didn't do anything and I got errors for hours. But I already explained how to fix that in an earlier post)

I tried what you said... but I get an error 1604 (with it trying to install a legit copy for firmware freshly downloaded by iTunes) which is a symptom of the phone being in recovery mode.

xogen, in my case, my screen is blank while it´s in dfu mode. After the beeping sounds and the progress bar, i get the connect to itunes logo meaning it´s in recovery mode. So yes, that´s the problem, we can dfu the ipod but we can´t keep it that way.

Nyctobello, dfu.exe "worked" for me just by running it with my ipod normally plugged in. I didn´t do anything special. But as I said the only reason why itunes couldn´t kick my ipod to recovery is because this time it´s recognized as an iphone and can´t do anything. In fact i have to hard reset it just to be able to boot normally. I don´t think there´s much more we can do with it.

Ok, I'll explain it this way. If you can put your ipod/iphone into dfu mode then your ipod/iphone is fine. If when you plug it in to iTunes it gets "kicked out" of dfu, then iTunes is to blame (or Apple Mobile Device Support) and needs to be reinstalled (both). If you need to find a computer that has never heard of itunes, use that. It is not your device. Your device is not kicking itself out.

I have used 3 Different computers with 3 Different OS!

cajota - uninstall itunes and apple mobile device support and reinstall itunes. that has to be your problem.

Nyctobello - a 1604 error could be anything. Many people have had that error and have fixed it by doing everything from using a different usb port to reinstalling usb drivers to using a different usb cord.

I've already done that. Plus, I tried with 3 different computers, one of those never had itunes installed before. I also tried different cables and both vista an xp. So far no luck

Even more strange: I went to my friend's house and tried with his computer, where he dfu'ed his iphone and succesfully upgraded to ipwned 2.0. Needless to say it didn't work for me :P Same symptoms every time

ummm I just tried to restore with the official 2.0 ipsw, at first I thought it was working fine, but in the middle of the restore process a pop up appeared saying there was an unknown usb device that malfunctioned. Then, itunes failed with error 1603.
This happens just with 2.0, when I restore with a 1.1.4 ipsw everything works fine.

Let me ask you something, because I had a similar problem trying to get my Touch into DFU mode.

When you do the button combination, and iTunes rerecognizes your Touch, does your computer play the USB In/Out sound, like, 3 times each?

[lacanaupro]

i have the same exact problem and i've been trying to resolve it for hours with no luck.

so yeah i have been able to get into dfu mode cause i've checked everytime on the device manager so when that happens my itouch screen goes blank but it stays like that for about 3 seconds while itunes is trying to reach the itouch and then the usb in/out sound plays the sound like 3 times and kicks me back to recovery mode.

does anyone know how to solve this issue or if by restoring the itouch to factory settings and trying to winpwn to 2.0.1 would work?
