I can run a jailbreak with redsn0w as well and it uploads the kernel and everything, then runs the break and when its time to reboot, nothing. Just shuts off. Also the thing won't turn on for anything and gets a USB Device not recognized in windows if its not in DFU mode...

Any ideas would be great on this one.

Your problem looks to be a problem formatting the NAND, which could indicate a hardware issue with the NAND.

Try restoring an older iOS version - 3.1.x and see if that works.

Please pastebin the log file.. see this thread for instructions iPhone, iPod Touch: [HowTo] report an iTunes restore/update fail in a useful manner

the same thing happened to my ipod touch, i was replacing the lcd and touchscreen digitizer and i touched the copper prong to a side of a component which then shorted the device and it rebooted, i took this to my dads attention and he said that it definetly blew out a part to the ipods logic board, so my suggestion to you is to either buy a used ipod touch that has a completely damaged touchscreen, take it apart completely and replace your logic board, or just take your touchscreen and lcd screen and put it on the used itouch.

this may also happen by trying to build a tin can usb ipod charger and getting the wrong placements ending up shorting or restarting the ipod

if you dont want to go through all of the trouble of trying to "build" your own itouch, you can try using ifaith, and redsn0w to overwrite the software and try to "save" your ipod
