I DL'd the 4.0 update for the iPod Touch 3G and when I open up iTunes. I shift click update and try to open the file and it says my iPod could not be updated because the firmware is not compatible? I tried restoring with the 4.0 update as well and it gives me the same error. Any ideas?

EDIT: Sorry for posting this in this section, probably should have posted in iPod Touch & iPhone Support

You don't have your 4.0 SHSH on file. You cant update to 4.0 you must update to the latest firmware.

Ok I have seen this problem brewing around this section. You DO NOT have to have your SHSH saved to downgrade from 4.0.2 to 4.0 firmware. The only reason its not compatible is because Apple stop signing after 4.0. Which means you will have to change your host ID for apple. Then you may need to restart your computer once you do this. Then follow the steps to restore it.
Steps:
Once you change host ID
Shift Click/Hit Restore
Pick your 4.0 Firmware
Let it Restore
Then BOOM! You are now on 4.0 firmware and ready to jailbreak.

Follow this video to cchange host ID.>>>> BOOM! <<<<<<<<,,

Any questions PM Me or If you have a XBL Acct. A SoBe Lizard

PS: Had same problems about a week ago so I know what I AM talking about.

EDIT:I have a iPod Touch 2G

Guys, stop giving him all this BS that he can downgrade doing all the stupid crap. He can't downgrade, he has to have a 4.0 shsh on his ipod. Which he doesn't meaning he can NEVER be on 4.0 on that ipod!
