Hi everybody,
i think i've done some big mess with my ipod touch 2G. It started when i wanted to erase all data and apps on (jailbroken) iOS v3.1.3. I tried to that using "Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings" on the ipod. After that, ipod went stuck on apple logo (rebooting?). After waiting some time, i decided to turn it off and on. That only switched the original apple logo to the "ananas" logo.

Then i tried to jailbreak it again using redsn0w v0.9.5b5-5 and iPod2,1_4.0_8A293_Restore.ipsw. Installation went fine except ipod doesn't reboot, instead goes automatically in recovery mode.

Searching around i found this is called recovery mode loop, and found a guide using irecovery to fix it. i followed it (snow leopard user), but it didnt solve the problem. Btw, here's what i got by executing iRecovery:

Try using Tinyumbrella to kick it out of recovery mode after restore.

Next time, don't use erase all... That removes everything on phone, including the OS.
