I couldn't get mine to go from 4.0 to 3.1.2 or 3.1.3 but thinking that's because I'd never purchased those updates. I went 2.2.1 straight to 4.0.

Now that I've successfully downgraded back to 2.2.1, the touch works perfectly in my car again, which was my main objective. A few of the free apps no longer work as they require 3 or higher, but I'm not touching this thing. Still pissed about the time wasted, but at least I have my tunes again on the road :D
Glad to hear! :)
 
My 2nd gen iPod touch supports multitasking and custom wallpaper. Just jailbreak it with redsnow and they will be enabled! Pics confirm that!

Mine finished, here's my new home screen.

No multitasking, no screen rotation lock, no background images. The lack of the rotation lock really bugs me, I was really looking forward to that. I dig the folders though, they make sense.

Why is it that simple things like no background image can't be given to them? On a jailbroken iphone 1st gen, I don't notice any drop in performance. So why does Apple withhold that and screen rotation lock? Or are they hinting that upgrades should be made?
