Why are you downgrading it?

There's a 3.0 jailbreak out right now, you have to be in 3.0 for it to work.

Do a hard restore.

I should also mention that you void your warranty if you jailbreak the iPod Touch.

Downgrading is more difficult than upgrading, unless of course you're like me and your iPod crashed from the upgrade.

If you want to downgrade but can't seem to make it work on iTunes, you can take it to the Apple store. They won't jailbreak it due to legal reasons, but they can at least help you with the software problem so that you can do the jailbreak.

In theory, you should be able to do like you said, and restore the old software. However, iTunes can be a brat when it comes to that sort of thing.

If the warranty isn't up yet, you can call the Apple support line. They probably won't help you over the phone if the warranty is up, but its worth a shot. You can also try the FAQ on their website.

Hope this helps.
