ipod touch 3 problem with restoring

Hello, I bought a 3rd generation iPod. Unfortunately, when connected to the charger, the iTunes logo appears. After trying to reset in iTunes, I get this message: "This iPod was previously in DFU mode, but after restarting it is no longer in DFU mode. To put this iPod back in DFU mode, unplug it and put it back in DFU mode." When I did this, the same thing appears. 3uTools detects the device but does not show information about it. It is not possible to flash the software, neither in DFU mode or in recovery mode

have already repaired many Apple devices, but now I have no idea what to do about it. Thank you in advance.


sorry for my bad english

Try restoring using an older version of iTunes.

For unknown reasons, errors may occur when restoring an older device with the latest version of iTunes.


I'll provide you with the download link for the older version of iTunes.

iTunes 10.7.0.21 64-bit .

https://secure-appldnld.apple.com/iTunes10/041-7197.20120912.Frt4R/iTunes64Setup.exe


and iTunes 11.1.5 64-bit.

Please let me know the language you prefer, and I will respond in that language.
