iPod touch Downgrade from 3.1.3 to 1.0

[(marc)]

Hi,

I'd like to downgrade my iPod touch 1G from its current firmware (3.1.3) to 1.0, for the retro factor. I have already tried numerous tutorials out there, but everything fails.

Does anyone have a working solution to this problem?

Thanks!

Well, as far as I know, iPod touch can only be downgraded to 1.1, because 1.0 is only for first-gen iPhone, so if you are trying to downgrade by the instructions on the internet (which I don't know) to 1.0 it won't work. Try with 1.1 or even better with 1.1.5 that has bugfixes.

You need to use an older version of iTunes (8, I think, google for it) and DFU mode. No matter what I tried, the 2.2.1 FW would not stick, in the end I flashed 1.1.4 (from 3.1.3) where it got stuck in the middle of the process. From there, I flashed 2.2.1, and it worked

Now, I'm guessing that from there you could downgrade to iTunes 7, and flash 1.1.4.
