i was in the same situation as you.
here's what i did to fix my phone. i downgraded to 3.1.3, so you might not need the last few steps.

try this method out.
i used it for my iphone.

you're going to need 3.1.2, 3.1.3 (only if you're going to 3.1.3), blackrain, and sn0wbreeze (only if you're going to 3.1.3).

1. Shift and left click restore.
2. Choose 3.1.2
3. Once it's done, I get error 1015
4. Since my phone is now in dfu mode, I can use Blackrain to jailbreak (3.1.2 is now on my iphone even though I got the error).
5. Once Blackrain is done, phone is working, but I cannot connect to ATT. (if you have an itouch, you might be done already since it's working now)
6. I need to create a custom firmware if I want to use phone again. I open up Snowbreeeze to create my custom firmware. I chose 3.1.3 for my phone.
7. I run the program and wait for it to finish my custom firmware.
8. Once completed, I go back to step 1. Shift and click restore.
9. Choose my new custom firmware, and voila. I'm jailbroken again with 3.1.3

You could do that...But you can always have problems with your device...

i went back to 3.1.3 because of all the 3rd party apps.
since most devs haven't upgraded to 4.0, i decided to go this route. i have yet to have any problems.

I don't think you can downgrade if your 3.1.4, cause ever since 3.1.3, you can't downgrade unless you were 2g or lower, with 3g, you can't downgrade
