(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hey, I am trying to downgrade my iTouch 2G from firmware 4.0 to 3.1.2. I am aware that apple have blocked this, I added

    74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
74.208.10.249 www.gs.apple.com


To my hosts file and made it Read-Only, I then restarted my iTunes, booted my iPod in DFU mode and then tried the shift+click restore to 3.1.2 and I am getting this error:

Does anyone know a solution for this?

I'm pretty sure you can fix this by clean restoring to 4.0 then downgrading OR updating to the very newest then downgrading Happy

At least I can fight
There is no way to downgrade your firmware unless you have the SHSH's on file, if not, then I'm afraid that your too late to downgrade. Although, I have heard of a apossible method of downgrading from 4.0/1 without having the SHSH's on file.

You can't downgrade without a shsh blob at this point. I've heard some older bootroms can downgrade to older firmwares like 3.1.2 but besides that no.

ROLL TIDE!!!
I got the same errors with 3.1.3.

I even had the shsh files.

Not sure why your downgrading but if it is to jailbreak ps3, don't bother 2g don't work

If it is to jailbreak the ipod itself. You don't have to. Spirit works and I think redsn0w does to.
