iPod Touch 4th gen white screen when restoring

My friend gave me an iPod touch for free. When I power it on, it fails to boot into iOS and boots straight into Recovery Mode. I tried to flash/restore it using other cables, other computers, and other software's (iTunes, 3uTools, etc.). And I keep running into the same problem. It boots into RestoreOS, but a few seconds after the progress bar appears, there is a white screen and it restarts back into recovery mode. And I either get error 9, 1611, or 4013. I have also tried to boot into DFU mode, but it is "impossible" to do so. It just boots into recovery mode. I (and my friend) am/are not aware of the iOS version the iPod originally ran. I am not familiar with Apple devices. Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
