Answer 1

You can go to http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/ and choose your device/firmware. (Be sure to select your device and desired firmware

When you are done, go into itunes and hold down the shift button and choose the firmware file you just downloaded.



Hope I helped!

Answer 2

considering the fact that's the latest firmware it would take sometime so which you will get a jailbreak which might provide help to downgrade it ! with out the jailbreak you count selection downgrade it considering the fact that apples would not enable that as quickly as you replace to a extra moderen firmware

Answer 3

I'm having the same problem. Searched everywhere and nothing. You can't install older firmware unless it's been signed by apple. So if you find a solution to this, please let me know! Before I throw my ipod out the window lol.
