Hey,
So i tried jailbreaking my ipod today which i've done numerous times on older devices and i used evasi0n, soon after it completed it got stuck in the Apple logo boot loop where the screen appears to slowly die then it reboots. I cant get it into DFU mode because my Home Button is completely broken and stuck, i've tried using acetone on it to remove any gunk and that did allow it to spin around although it still wont go up or down thus rendering it useless. iTunes won't detect it either when it's in the boot loop and to put it into DFU mode with software requires iTunes to detect the device. Do i need to replace the home button or is there another way ?

If you're still having this problem then all I can tell you to do is fix the home button, it should be very cheap to get fixed or even cheaper to D.I.Y!
After that's done put it in DFU mode and then connect to iTunes and follow the steps.
