My 3rd gen iPod Touch is currently running 3.1.3 firmware. Is there a away to just download 4.0 firmware? NOT iOS 5, but 4.0. Any guides, etc.
Got a tip for us?

Not sure. Why didn't you update to 4.0 when it was first released may I enquire?
well, if you're referring to the 8GB model in your sig, that's actually a second gen model (3rd gen only included 32/64). That means it will only update to 4.x
Ok, my ipod broke down, while running 4.x. So, i got a new one from apple, and it was runnng 3.1.3, being as they dont update the devices when new firmware updates are available. My warrenty was up soon, so i would easily jailbreak it using jailbreakme.com. There are apps that i would like, but require the 4.x update.
I'm pretty sure iOS 4.1 is still being signed. You just have to download the ipsw and dfu restore.
A valid point was raised above, but not addressed:
Is this an 8GB model, or a 32/64GB model? If it's 8GB, then you can't install iOS 5 on it anyway, so iTunes ought to offer to upgrade it only as far as 4.2.1.
If you have the 8GB model, would this be adequate? I know it would be a little bit newer than the version 4.0 you're asking for...
