Okay, so I did it just as instructed. I used the 5.0 firmware instead of the 5.1 and everything… But I always get a 60000 ms error every time! Please help!!

If u have already jailbreak it, plz restore your ipod touch 4thG
with iTunes then get redsnow 0.9.10b5 open the redsnow (no need to click on extra to select IPSW) just hit jailbreak then you follow the instruction.
NOTE! u have to be patience when redsnow start identifying
and it works perfectly with OS 5.0.1

For those of you experiencing problems with turning your ipod back on… Don’t worry, you didn’t break it… It’s easy to fix, this happened to me the first few times when I was learning what to do…I just got my Ipod Touch today, 32 GB, so imagine what I was thinking… “Oh, I broke it already! Craaaap! Why won’t it turn back on?” Now I’m laughing at how easy it is to turn it back on.
How to fix it?:
Hold your power button down, along with the home key (Not sure if you really have to hold the home key down but I did.) And just hold it for about 10 seconds… This should take you to the little apple icon…
Now… There is 2 ways to get it to turn back on…
Let go of the home key and just hold down the power button… Do this for 5-10 seconds and it should be back on in no time…
Or the second way, which worked for me once or twice is just to let it sit there, and it’ll come back up itself…

Basically… Just do what you did to put it in DFU mode again…and it’ll come right back on and shouldn’t have any problems at all…
I hope this helps and works for those of you who freaked out like I did… Ipods are NOT cheap and thinking you broke it traumatizes you…so I hope this solution helped… If not…lemme know and I will try and assist you further.

And for those of you stuck on the Build identifying/Waiting for reboot… Yeah I’m stuck there too…I’ll post back once I figure out exactly how to get that working…
Lol I bet half of you are sitting there laughing your ass off and screaming the simplest solution ever. And I’m sitting here, like a deer in the headlights.

Use the newest untether instead, it is easier:

try downloading ultrasn0w in cydia, should help if your baseband is 01.59.00 Also, reset your network settings.
