Unable to restore iPod 4th Gen
Alright. This can be closed. But it should also be noted some where, that if you have a 4th gen iPod, and you change the boot logo, don't do too much as far as redecorating the software on the ipod. If you reset all the settings on the ipod after changing the boot logo, there's a big chance you will mess up something, and whenever you turn it on, it will be stuck on the bootlogo. Things to do just in case:
Restore. iPods can't be perma bricked like some devices (PSP,DS[They require special hardware to unbrick])
Restore again. When you restore, your screen should be stuck at a white screen. Keep your iPod plugged in, close iTunes, and open it again. iTunes will still have your iPod as needed to be recovered. And the white screen should still be there. Hit the restore button again, and it should work that time. If you have any problems, post below. Thanks if I helped

Enter DFU Mode in itumes.
1. Plug iPod Touch into Computer
2. Turn off iPod Touch (If you can't, no worries)
3. Hold the sleep button for 3 seconds
4. Without releasing the sleep button, hold the home button for 10 seconds
5. Release the sleep button but keep holding the home button for 30 seconds.
6. iPod should show no display on screen but open iTunes.
7. It should say that its found an iPod Touch in Recovery mode.
viii) Press "Restore"
8. It will start downloading the firmware update (300 - 600MB) and restore your iPod. Do NOT unplug iPod until it is 100% done.If my post was good, click the

New to jailbreaking? Have a look at my Redsn0w Guide

Tried it. I get the error 1604. And it is incomplete when I do it. Cause my bootlogo is still there.
