Ipod 1st gen stuck on green poison boot loop

[quartz terrace]

I got this Ipod from a friend and it's just stuck on the green posion screen. When I turn it on it goes from a regular apple logo to the skull. I've read some articles on this and they say to put it in DNF mode but I've tried this and it doesn't do anything it just sits there. I've also tried to plug it into Itunes and it doesn't reconize the device. I also tried to use Redsn0w to recover it but it tells me to put it in DNF mode and I am unable to do that. Is the Ipod bricked or is there something im missing?

not sure what version its on because I cant start it up.

I'm not an expert on legacy versions at all but i'd have to imagine that it's a tethered jailbreak

also that looks like a second or third gen iPod Touch, not a first gen

the first gen didn't have volume buttons and the bezel was not polished silver

You'll have to use greenposi0n in order to boot it, if you don't wanna do that and wanna go nuclear you could try entering DFU mode again with iTunes open, and you might be entering DFU mode wrong.

though greenpois0n was untethered, weird

how long do you keep it on the boot screen for?

I'm not familiar with Apple products at all lol I'm a Samsung guy so my bad I didn't know it was a different one.

It never turns off right when I plug it in it just goes to green poison it would do wheel spinning next to the logo then it would just freeze and sit there for about 30 minutes then it would flash white for a splitsecond then go to the apple logo then switch to Green poison. It would then just repeat that cycle until it runs out of battery

seems it's bootlooping?

it going to greenposi0n is normal as it's an untethered jailbreak

so it persists always

[quartz terrace]

Yup that's what it's doing, couldn't find the word for it

[quartz terrace]

Yes

Is there a green poison program that I need to install on my pc?

[woven oasis]

i imagine you'd need to reset it, idk if it's recoverable since i'm not an expert with old jailbreaks

[quartz terrace]

I'm not sure I actually never modded one myself it won't turn off or do anything just stuck boot looping. What do you mean by it needing to be tethered?

[woven oasis]

Tethered means it requires a computer in order to even boot or it will fail to do so. This isn't the case with yours however, but many others around this age did.

[quartz terrace]

That's what I thought do you know if there's some program that does that maybe it needs it to wipe it

[woven oasis]

idk

[quartz terrace]

Alr just checking

Restore the device

Using iTunes

[quartz terrace]

I cant It wont reconize it

[coarse rock]

This is more likely a DFU mode than a DNF mode

[woven oasis]

You could restore with iTunes

When in DFU mode

However you'd lose files

[quartz terrace]

Ok I'll try dfu mode

[quartz terrace]

I just put it in dfu mode and it gives me an error message

ive done this a couple of times and it keeps doing this. Is there something im doing wrong?

[quartz terrace]

I've disconnected it many times and got it out of dfu mode and plugged it back in. The first time I did it it let me restore it but it just sat there and didn't do anything when I restored it.

[proud ingot]

does it not let you press ok and continue?

try plugging the phone in while it's completely off then run the keys for dfu

[quartz terrace]

I just got it working I tried it on a different computer. It gave me the same error then I uninstalled it and reinstalled then put it in dfu mode and it restored it. It's solved thank you guys for trying to help me😃
