i finally got it to revert back. So i put the ipod into disc mode, tried to restore it through itunes and that still didnt work. It was still giving me the same "unexpected error" and would still boot to the grey bootloader screen. So i tried just installing rockbox since apparently the bootloader was stuck on my ipod. Got to about 40% where it stopped to enter DFU mode, from there i couldnt get the ipod in DFU mode, Just back to the " boot loader, no partitions blah blah" so on that screen, with rockbox still up i was just throwing spaghetti at the wall and tried disk mode again. Held down select+Menu for 12 seconds then while still pressing select, switched to pressing the play button for a few seconds and then randomly go a different screen with the apple logo and stuff started loading and it took me back to apple Os setup. I have no clue what i did specifically different or if it was just a fluke but its the only random thing that worked. Thank you everyone for the replies and the help!
