    It is not that easy man. And I am not noob. I tried to fix it for 5 days. Do you think that I didn't try to restart my com - -. I already restart many times and it will doesn't work. Also, I tried to research many way to fix these. And none of them work - -, so do you think that I am still noob lol;)

    what itunes version are you using, i think you have to use 7.5/7.6 for the DFU, and downgrade.
    Install iTunes 7.5/7.6
    Restart computer and ipod, then plug in ipod, open itunes, set DFU and try restoring to 1.1.4 or 1.1.5,
    If you have restored to 1.1.4, upgrade to 1.1.5 again. or Shift click update

    "6" is the error you get when trying to use a firmware iTunes doesn't support to restore (e.g., the hashes don't check, as in a custom pwned fw and 1.1.4). You aren't really in DFU mode if you're getting this. Here's a YouTube video that'll show you how to get into DFU mode. FTR, all of the methods in this thread only get you into recovery mode. If your iPod Touch/iPhone actually turns off via the red slider bar, you aren't doing it properly. The screen has to shut off, with no shutdown process. The video helps a lot.

    to go into dfu mode have your iPod plugged in to your computer. Then hold down the him and power button until iTunes doesn't recognize it then let go of the home button and wait till a Waiting for iPod message pops up then iTunes will recognize it and you'll be able to restore :D

    Often, though, that'll get you into plain old recovery mode unless you time it just right.
