When you get it all working again, restore it to factory defaults with iTunes, give it to your brother and tell him to Jailbreak it himself.
That way, if it all goes wrong, it's his problem.

I recently brought a new iPod 4th gen for myself so I was going to give my brother my old one, I was clearing it off and he asked me if I would jailbreak it for him also so I entered it into dfu mode and plugged it into the computer which then said it was an unknown device and wasnt recognized in itunes either I plugged it out and held the sleep button but the screen remained black and then I tried charging it from a wall charger overnight but the screen is still black. What should I do?

I broke the home button so I actually used this tutorial on how to put it into dfu without buttons so I can't reset it either. Would you happen to know how much it is for a home button repair?
there are a lot of places around that will replace the Home button for you but I cannot tell you what the price will be.
We have a company, locally, called iDoctor. Perhaps it is a franchise and may be in your area too
