Is there a way to do this yet? My 8Gb ipod touch came with 3.1 and i want to downgrade, is there any way?
 
If it came with 3.1.1 pre-installed, it might not be downgradable. Even though Apple says the 8GB iPod touch at $199 is the same as the old one from $229, I don't think thats the case, as the repair prices are cheaper for the new 8GB model. When downloading the restore ipsw, does it get the iPod 2,1 or is it iPod 3,1? If its iPod 3,1 then you def can't downgrade.

It came with 3.1 installed and can you restore it to 3.0?

+1.

Also, you can downgrade, if your iPod restore firmware is 2,1, but if you have a backup from 3.1, you won't be able to restore to that backup after downgrading to 3.0.
 
I've got a jailbroken via pwnage 3.1.2 1st gen 32GB touch.

I want to take it back to a 2.2.1 or something. 3 is far too slow on this hardware.

I;ve spent a while trying to find out how to do this but can't find any way yet. Any ideas anyone?

Obv I have a mac and latest iTunes. HELP! :)

I'm on 2.1 right now on a JB 1st gen 32GB and I wanted to upgrade to a 3.1 or better. Since you already did this, do you get errors still from the app store saying some apps are not compatible with this device? This is the error I get a lot that makes me want to upgrade to 3.1 or better

sorry mate - only run apps on my 3GS.
The reason I want to downgrade is because 3.x is just so unresponsive. Its not so bad in normal use but when I plug it into my car adapter it takes about 20 seconds to get the artist list. Drive me potty
