Jailbroken iPod touch settings?

On my jailbroken ipod touch I went into erase all settings and now its stuck in a reboot loop?

• okay, today I decided to wipe my ipod and start over without my jailbreak. I have Ubuntu 11.10 on my laptop so I cant use Itunes, yes even through wine, as it doesant work with the usb port for whatever reason. so my question is how do I get it out of this loop without itunes please help its driving me up the wall and onto the ceiling >.<

• Answer:

  I think what Alex was trying to say is "hold the power button and the home button for about 15 seconds". Which is worth a try. I had my ipod do that to me earlier this week (dreamboard problem rather than whatever you're experiencing) and I tried that trick. It almost did something, but my problem was severe enough that it just went back into the reboot loop. (Luckily I was able to delete the offending file with iexplore on my computer. Your problem sounds more like an elimination of files rather than one bad file.) Best bet is to probably find a friend with a computer and see if you can do a restore with them.
