Took a while and had me on tenterhooks until it finally restarted with the latest firmware.
Really had me going for a while, if I remember correctly it took quite a few tries to finally get the restore to begin. I can only guess that something glitched during the first firmware download via WIFI and was not caught prior to the unit trying to update or that the update glitched for some other reason after the checksum showed the firmware was OK(I'm assuming they compare checksums before applying an update). Not sure if it makes a difference, but I have the Touch with an internal SDHC -though I've never actually had to manually re-image it.(Nice to have in case you do get stuck!)
One more thought, I'm not sure if it makes any difference to the hardware, but I'm not sure in what order I released the reset microswitch or the button -you might try multiple combinations, but always hold the power switch for 20 seconds first, so that you're starting in the OFF state, release it, press & hold the buttons and then flick the power switch. I'd watch the LED & LCD carefully while flicking and after to see if any change is noticed. The only other thing that comes to mind is that if all else fails you might try opening the unit up and unplugging the battery for 10-20 seconds and then recharging/resetting. This has been known to reset units that were somehow hopelessly locked up or maybe stuck in a loop of some sort. I'd maybe try the reset right after that, rather than holding the power switch off for 20 seconds as it should be completely off after disconnecting the battery...
Good luck!

Thanks I'll try to do a hard reset this way and I'll comment the situation.

I try so many times to do it friend, but nothing happens. When i did it, the light button is turn blue and then is off. Even i pushed the power button for more than 20 seconds.
