I fixed my broken 3.3 IPOD TOUCH

Question

My ipod touch broken after i install 3.3 software, it couldn't turn on when i press any buttons.I spent a half day to fix it , finally i did it!
All you need to do is set up another account in your PC , NOT ITUNES ACCOUNT!
They would automaically install software 2.2 for you , not the latest one, then restore it!
Restore using a new user account
Create a new user account on your computer and try to restore while logged in as the new user. iTunes will download a new version of the software restore file. After creating the new user, log in to that account and open iTunes and attempt to restore to see whether the issue persists in this new user.
Use these steps if you're not sure how to create a new user
Windows Vista and Windows XP
1.From the Start menu, choose Control Panel.
2.Open User Accounts.
3.Select Create a new account and follow the instructions to complete the account setup process.
4.Once the new account is created, choose Log Off from the Start menu.
5.Log in to the newly created user account.
Mac OS X
1.From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
2.Choose View > Accounts.
3.Click the "+" (you may need to authenticate to be able to click this).
4.Give the new user a name and short name and enter a password.
5.Select the checkbox for "Allow user to administer this computer". This makes the user an administrator user.
6.Click Create Account.
I hope you guys can fix your IPOD! =]

Answer 1

RESOLVED!
Thanks bigmil87 for your message, I really appreciate your advice. I've put down a list below of what did and didn't work for me in case other people have this problem (advice: restore on another PC).
Also interested that 1604 is a USB timing issue - I think that my netbook may have powered down during the update causing some compatibility/timing issue when I fired it up again.
For anyone who catches the dreaded 1604 error this is what did and didn't work for me:
1. What did not work for me:
o closing iTunes without disconnecting the iPod
o usual restore function (ie holding down home key and on switch)
o deleting the ipsw file
o clean reinstall of all iTunes and associated software
o clean reinstall of all iTunes with earlier iTunes version
o changing the USB hub being used
o remounting (reloading driver) for USB
o creating new user account on same computer restoring while logged in as the new user
2. What did work for me (yay)
o creating new user account on my friend's Windows Vista PC, logging into new user account, and downloading latest iTunes then plugging in the iTouch.
3. Result:
I did the 'Sync of the century' on the original netbook and it restored everything with my App data intact (happy about that - I was on level 22 'Alive4Ever' all time best game out there).
One small issue is that my music is only 1/3 transferred, no idea why. Haven't tried to fix it yet but if anyone knows why this happens grateful for advice. (All the music is my own rip from CD using EAC via LAME out to mp3 320kbps, not iTunes purchases).
Scary thing is, I can't live without my iTouch - it is just too good - has everything I use every day (learning apps, music, games, podcasts etc)...when it went down I was in a panic.
When all is said and done and even though I admire Apple for their products and quality I'm not confident this release was tested fully and next release I will think twice before clicking 'yes' to the update option. It took half a day to get the restore going properly.
