  • What is a bricked iPod? When your device gets bricked does it just delete everything or what? This is the only thing stopping me from JBing my iPod, and I don't even know what it is! Please help!

  • I agree with cocacolafire. ipodtouchproductions is doing a good thing by at least trying to do these videos, but the "likes" and "ums" were very distracting....along with the slurring of words etc. Next time be sure to get some sleep before you do a video. :)

  • OMFG LEGEND SAVER !!!!! IT WORKS I M SO SCARED MY iPOD GOT FRESAKING BRICKED WHEN I JAILBERAK NOW ITS fixed!

  • @Machoked Haha Your welcome bro :)

  • @Poke82465 Hah Your welcome man, glad to help :)

  • I'm sorry, that was just incoherent.

  • what if the lock button doesn't work? what are you supposed to do then?

  • @MissUndeadBanana You are what we consider: 'Screwed'

  • So, my iPod died one day so I tried to charge it. Well that didn't work so I tried to restate it, but nothing happened. My iPod does not turn on or do anything anymore. Can this be fixed?

  • Hold down home & lock botton for SUPER long (Not that long) till it's says plug into iTunes. You plug it in then restore it.

  • @WestSideFreedom

    wow man my ipod was stuck in erasing data mode for 3 days, doing that got it fixed in an instant thnx!!!

  • dud e you are so beast this is the first time my ipod has got bricked ive tried other videos on how to unbrick ur ipod non off them worked but urs did so thank you very much

  • its in dfu mode dumbass

  • heres wat happened to me

    i was on a wifi network at Barnes and Noble (at&t)

    i was on an fb app and then i downloaded a game, that i didnt play yet

    i went back to fb and couldnt get into my inbox

    then i couldnt check notifications

    i left B&N and went to Panera wi-fi

    the screen locked wen i got on fb

    i held the 2 buttons to reset it and it went off

    i tried to reset over 10 times, hooked it into my computer and it did the same thing

  • search itech wonderland on google and click the first result

    then go to ipod and untethered or tethered and your good to go

  • thank you so much, you just saved my ipod and my skin..... thanks

  • thanks man im gonna sub you saved my butt from being fried by my mum =)

  • Mine is jailbroken and doesn't say anything, the time and date bar at the top is showing, but the rest of the screen is black.

    Is my iPod bricked?

  • thanks it worked

  • Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you

    I was up all night worrying this saved me a lot o money this worked on my iPod 4.2.1 BEST VIEDO EVER

  • why would you want to reset it back to factory settings !

  • what does bricked mean

  • @legostarwarsguy48 its a terrible terrible thing. Many people want their itouches to have more things and make more sounds and get a million things for free, so they hack their itouches, or "jailbreak" them. if it goes wrong, your data deletes and your screen will say "Bricked" and your itouch is screwed

  • @legostarwarsguy48 it means its like block and dosnt work and it shows a bunch of words

  • I think my ipod is completely screwed! I have tried everything and it doesn't work for me!

  • @fairyliquid2010 plug you ipod into you computer put itunes on then press restore. OR hold the home button and the look button at the same time then wait like 5 10 seconds intill the screen goes off then the apple logo come up.

  • technichally your not bricking it if you can get it back....BRICK= Only use for it is a brick, it has no functionality. So it's not bricked, just some sort of error.

  • @touchthemer Wrong

  • @GrAhViTy bricking must imply that software error has rendered the device COMPLETELY UNRECOVERABLE without some hardware replacement.

  • Thank You So Much This Helped Me unbrick my ipod when no other video could.

  • dude i had a completely different problem, i used spirit to jailbreak and it got stuck at loading screen, i did this and it fixed the problem, THANK YOU SO MUCH DUDE W000000T!!!!!!!!!

  • Awesome, it worked! Thank you so much, I was scared!

  • what is brick???

  • @vanamutt43 your device turns into a brick.

  • does this work in 3.1.3 and 3.1.2

  • lol when I said mine I ment mine, or other peoples :P ( I jailbreak a lot of people's iPods for a small fee aha ) but it dont happen no more :P

  • hey, it's me =D

  • its not fake, ive bricked mine twice, did this same thing, works great. Clip : Ripping some wires?? Its not a physical break its a memory issue.

  • @spidledl u bricked it twice?

    FAIL

  • wow....

  • Fake. When something gets bricked, it means that the only thing it its literally useful for is a brick. Not responding at all. The only way to brick an iPod Touch is to open it up and rip some wires. If it's bricked, you can't "start it up" at all. What he's describing is putting it into recovery mode, which you can only do as long as the device still has its drivers. "Unbricking" a device would be like booting a physical stone brick into an OS. That's why its called bricking.

  • Uh no. Bricking is usally caused by firmware problems. Ripping some wires? Wtf who does that? Maybe in a very rare case with another device, but the wires are always connected for a reason. My ipod touch 2g has been bricked more than once. The new 3.0.2 firmware bricked my ipod for about a week till i found a workaround to UNBRICK it. And even tho my ipod couldnt go into the os i could still put it in recovery mode by holding the buttons. So are you sure u know wtf your talking about?

  • @bradzdestroyer how did you unbrick yours? Mine does the same thing yours was doing and i've been going crazy trying to figure out something

  • oi i plus my ipod into my pc i here the beep but itunes dnt fkign no its connected i try heaps of times and ive tryed dfu and recovery mode and jailbraking it again nuffing works omfg

  • what exactly is bricked

  • dude, next time u do a how-to, write down what u plan to say before recording. Its really annoying when every other word is umm and uhh. Its bad form when steps are spoken unclearly or not in the right order. for instance, i didnt write this in 30 seconds, i edited it like 3 times before submitting, why? so my point is made clearly. remember: if someone is watching this video, then most likely our device is bricked, and we are frustrated. dont add to it by making your how-to confusing.

  • better to have some tell you how to do it, then not at all. Don't be such a smart arse!

  • @Cypris2369 You're a cunt, I hope my point was clearly made.

  • What the fuck? my ipod touch got bricked, then i hold power + home and voila, it fking works again?

  • It was in off mode -_-

  • this is not a bricked iphone. bricked = does not work or function in any way. the one i have doesnt turn on. so holding home + power buttons will not work.

  • thats wats happening to me right now i cant do anything

  • what exactly does it mean when ur  ipod is bricked?

  • it doesnt turn on

  • You cant turn it on or simply doesnt work.

    Hope it helped :p

  • i thought only iphones could brick

  • whats wrong with iTouch?

  • wat if dfu mode doesnt work

  • hold it for ten sec and after ten sec release pwr and hold home for about another tensecand releasee

  • DFU mode works 100% but it still depends on how u time and press the buttons to activate the mode

  • r u sure 100%? cuz im going to make a video on literaly showing dfu mode. i know how to do it. u hold both power and home button for 10 sec or more. then keep holiding the home button. well that doesnt work for me, sumhow i tried jailbreaking it and the bitch doesnt even have power anymore

  • what idevice do u have, know what, that happened to my very first ipod touch 1G, it wont turn on after the jailbreak with ziphone( a previous jailbreak). I got mine replaced by apple and when I updated to 2.0, the jailbreak came out and i just found out that the 2.0, 3.0 and for the future jailbreak, it is safer than before

  • damn i got an ipod touch. its 2 nd gen, b4 i jail broke it cud use dfu mode. but after i added the codes and patches to the sys cmd prompt for jailbreakin, i guess thats where it fucked me up

  • why'd u do it, its just for the 1st gen!!!

    use ur warranty to get it repaired, they might replace it for ya but youll lose yur songs and stuffss inside but u can resync it with itunes

  • well the tutorial was for the 2nd gen. and it had a cuple hundred thousand views and a solid 5 stars. so i was guessin it wud work.

  • man, you talk like a retard.

  • Dude he cant help it hes a hillbilly

  • I just had an insane internal scream. DO NOT SAY ITOUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS EITHER A TOUCH OR IPOD TOUCH!!!!!!!

    wait...... iTouch: You touch what?

  • Haha. I cannot stand when it is called the iTouch either!!

  • You deserve a sub for saying that.

  • the ipod idiot!

  • exactly

  • YES! THANK YOU! everyone always says itouch, its IPOD TOUCH!!

  • I love you forever. In a technology-terminoligy way. If I could spel.

  • wow exactly waste of time

  • this is fucken a waste of time all you have to do is put the ipod in DFu mode and then restore it with itunes. you dnt have to download shit

  • that isnt true if i do that it says error and it isnt fully updated even tho it is

  • is this for mac or pc?

  • god your dumb

  • LMAO!

  • you are amazing u fuckin saved my life holy shit im subbin right now...

    i cant live without my ipod

  • thanks man

  • hey .. could u plz write the steps in the description cz i cant really follow what ur doing ...

  • Ok so everything is going perfect,iTunes is detecting my iPod AND THEN it says couldn't connect to"Wabs24's iPod Touch" because of the password D: .How do i take the password off when I cant even get past the apple logo?(Which freezes for 5 minutes.) Some one help please and tnx:D

  • unplug from computer. Hold home for 5 sec. Plug back into computer, keep holding home until the ipod connect screen comes up, then restore you ipod. If it is jailbroken, A weird guy will come up instead.

  • freaking life saver

  • did you by chance go on a drinkin binge after it got bricked like all my friends did, because you sound pretty drunk.

    i kid, i kid. really useful video tho!

    someone plz help. i just bought it a few months ago and im gonna get in big shit if someone finds out.

  • my ipod did the samething so i held the home button for 10 seconds then at the same time held both the power and home button for another 10 seconds to restore it.

  • same shit here AND  i know everything about ipod touchs i got my shit when it first came out hacked the shit out of and now i tryed to upgrade it one more time and its finished its deff not coming back im still lookin for a way to fix it

  • what i done when it bricked was i done all the instructions that quickpwn tells you to do to put into dfu mode and after it turned off i instantly took my fingers off the buttons and i sat anxiously for 15 miniutes and wah lah done and none off the cydia got deleted

  • omg i could fuck kiss u ur a amazing

  • I LOVE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW

  • hi, i just got my ipod touch yesterday,and everything is working fine,except i cant go on the internet,and a little box keeps popping up that says we can not find your server. do u have any idea,whats wrong with it, HELP?

  • it's probabaly because you don't have a wireless internet for it to go on the internet with.

  • hi! I have an unlocked iphone. Yesterday, (9 August 2008), I downloaded an iphone update on my itunes.....Oh MY God! Why did she dooo that?! Anyway, the words Brick, Paperweight and F***!! come to mind....help! Is this the end of my iphone surfing...I don't want to use it as a telephone, only for my music, vids and surfing... :-(

  • alright...i dont understand what you are saying..(this is ipodtouchproductions...) that is just my new account

  • if this doesnt work check out my video. my video specificly addresses the black screen of death and error 1605 in itunes and the buttons on your ipod touch dont work. i can fix any other problems you have so message me and i'l try.

  • Another way to unbrick it is realize anything made by Apple is a piece of shit and Steve Jobs is a hooker. L2P

  • yep.  and now paying for the newest update. wow. steve jobs is an asshole

  • my psp got birked last year the screan wont open

  • Brick - means it is as useless as a brick

  • what is "Bricking"

  • What do you mean by brick?

    -Rilfas

  • bricked is if you hack your ipod touch and apple finds out that you have jailbroken it, apple will practically kill your ipod and then it becomes usless as a brick. but from this video i guess there is a way to get it working if it has been bricked. and also jailbreaking will void your warrenty

  • THANKS SOOOOO MUCH!!!

  • im not gonna jailbreak mine anymore, im scared

  • Pretty cool but you don't need software! Just unplug it from the computer. Turn it off. Hold the home and plug it in the computer and keep holding the home until the screen comes up saying plug it into itunes and it will come up in itunes. Then click restore. Then put your music, videos and so on and you are done

  • it doesnt show up for me. plz reply

  • what? Unplug it. turn it off then hold home and plug it in at the same time. and KEEP holding until you get a messege syaing to plug it in. then just install the software

  • k i jailebreakd my iphone and it got accidently got unplugged when i was installing something and it was plugged in to charge it and it went back to the screen with the ipod cord plugging into the ituns disc well after i made my acc like put in a credit card number with itunes and succefuly registered my iphone i deleted itunes so i cant restore it white words are going down the screen saying bsd root: md0, major 2, minor0, i tried holding turn off button and home button but does the same shyt

  • hey if someone messages u with an anwser can u plz message me bout it cause i have the same problem

  • Don't even watch videos that say un-brick because when something is bricked it cant be fixed. I am so ticked off at how many people dont know the meaning of bricked.

  • Okay, first of all you can't brick the ipod touch, you can only brick the iPhone. Your ipod crashed and you had to restart because you went into safe mode. okay so you didn't freakin' brick it.

  • dude just chill out if he didnt brik it then it crashed chill foo

  • touch can to brick dummy

    it happend to me

    i must be the first one then ??

  • Can to brick?

    You must not know what DFU mode is.

  • you can fix iphones even if they are bricked in all 3 ways. baseband, wifi, phone all of then can be fixed. but u must pay a $250 price to MacMediaNM

  • im gonna try 2 use htis 2 restore my ipod as i used 2.0 fw on i tn fucked it up , i hope this works on myn ..thanks

  • the whole hold down the sleep and home buttons until it turns black is shit!

    Just hold sleep and home until the restore mode screen appears!

  • u bitch u stole this vidio for ipodtouchmaster -.-...

  • It meens that the guy that made this video is a כושי מזדיין בתחת..

  • Right on for the vid- It took me about an 1hour but it all worked out.

  • can someone please explain to me what "jailbrake" and "Bricking" and "Un-Bricking" means

  • jailbreak= allowing 3rd party apps on your iphone/ipod touch( there are many vids on it)

    bricking= when your ipod pretty much locks up

    unbricking= un-doing a brick

  • thanks

  • hlue3: For PSP Brick means = If u open ur psp it just black screen then it turns off by itself.

  • oh thanks

  • this is probaly a stupid question but if you jailbrake your ipod and it gets broke like this guys or it want go off the apple sighn and you take it back to were you got it, will they fix it because you jailbroke it.

    p.s i already tried to restore it many times and it always said that there was an unknown problem and wouldnt let me restore

    Please comment!!

  • hold shift restore and then add the ipod1,1.1.1 restore and u should be good

  • excuse me

    for being stupid

    but what the hell

    is a bricked iPhone? =0

  • i tired the 1.1.3 ibrickr thing and it bricked my ipod it will stay in the screen with the apple sign. and i wont boot up

  • same here

  • god same

  • take the bricked ipod and unplug it from computer and then turn it off by holding top button and home button, wait till it is black screen and release buttons. Then hold the home button while reconnecting it to your computer with itunes already opened. this will bring it into recovery mode and you can press restore and will be just like new.... but not jailbroken anymore and without any music or videos or pictures.

  • I'm jailbroken in 1.1.2. and somehow now its definitely bricked with the swirl thing at passcode screen and constant restart. I am trying to downgrade by holding shift and check update but it says unknown error can't update. It recongizes my ipod and everything, but won't downgrade and won't restore. WHAT SHOULD I DO!!!??? ANY help is appreciated

  • hold menu and power buttons until it show the connect to itunes logo

  • oh and a little more detail all i can see is the apple logo and thats all nothing els happens

  • Yo man my fucken touch is briked i installed oktoprep and then went to install 1.1.2 and on the reboot befor i upgraded my ipod briked your video is not helping me any way you could help me out thanks.

  • um so is the only way for it to brick is if u jailbreak it. also is the warranty void on the ipod if you jailbreak it or downgrade the newest firmware to the oldest.

  • hey this just happened cuz of screenshot. SHould i uninstall screenshot. Because it wont really let me click anything in installer. should i just wait for it to let me unistall or do a restore.

  • it takes a wile but disable screenshot and then restart ipod 2wice and then uninstall from installer

  • i dont know for sure if my iPods Bricked bc at first, i tried to turn it on but the apple stayed on the screen for a long time. then, black and white lines flashed on the screen with the apple still on. there were two yellow buttons on the upper right corner. i think they were the Screenshot app. buttons. i was about to Restore it when it finally turned on. now that its on, theres nothing odd about it.

    is it bricked? by the way that happened about 3 times before finally coming back to normal
