If you "brick" your iTouch...see the "Recovery Mode" instruction steps below...

Check your firmware versions via Settings/General/About (below)
or see the Update screen in iTunes when you sync. It MUST be 1.1.1!

You'll need to DOWNGRADE later versions TO THIS version 1.1.1 from ALL later versions.
