Rollback iPod Touch 2G from leatest v4 to v3.1.2

How can I roll back my ipod touch 2Gen back to v3.1.2 from the newest version 4?
I am fed up with version 4. Its has so many bugs and my ipod is now not useable. Crashes when playing music, battery drains quickly if WiFi is on, crashes for no reason when booting up, never powers off and just hangs on the loading screen... The list is endless.
I have tried restoring my ipod back to version 3.1.3 but doing the instructions I will describe below but I get an error after the firmware is extracted and it is "verifying the ipod restore with apple". The FAQ says to check itunes can communicate with apples servers. However I suspect that the problem is that apple are rejecting my request to downgrade my ipod.
Any help would be great or information if apple can send it back to me fixed. I doubt it is in warranty and I don't see why I should have to pay for it to be fixed because of a software upgrade from apple.
Thanks in advanced
How I am trying to put the old version is as follows:
set up your device in recovery mode by simply turn off and unplug your device from your computer >> press and hold the Home button while reconnecting the USB cable to your iPhone >> after iPhone is connected it should power on the device >> continue holding the Home button, and you will see the iTunes logo appear and then finally a “Connect to iTunes” will be displayed >> release the Home button now.
- Now open iTunes and do a normal reset by holding down the SHIFT key (Windows) or Alt key (Mac) and clicking restore in iTunes >> now select the original 3.1.3 firmware and wait for the completion

If FaceTime is not hidden by Restrictions (Settings>General<Restrictions) you got duped. iPods officially sold in Dubai and some other countries that prohibit FT do not have FT and there is not way to get FT on those iPods.

Probably dead if you have tried to charge it.
You should never try to charge or turn on a wet electronic device.
You should let it dry for a week or so, then try.

Bought my ipod touch 4g from apple's official reseller on 21st November 2012. Purchase slip says warranty ends on 20th November 2013. But apple website says its 19th November 2013. Why? I went out of the store once while buying, was the ipod exchanged?

Bought my ipod touch 4g from apple's official reseller on 21st November 2012. Purchase slip says warranty ends on 20th November 2013. But apple website says its 19th November 2013 when I put in my ipod's serial number. Why is that? When I bought the ipod, the salesman told me that the latest ios is not installed, so I typed in my apple id and passowrd and opened the ipod, then they started donwloading the latest ios. During the download, I went out of the store for sometime, then i got back after 10 minutes and had to put my id/password again to begin with the new ios. Was my ipod exchange within this time? Why in a computerized system, If I have bought an ipod on 21st November 2012, it says the warranty expires on 19th Novembner 2013? Pleasse help, my ipoid even had some scratch on the backside when I first checked the back side after bringing it home from the store.

Was my ipod exchange within this time?
Not unless it was found to be defective, and that would not reset the warranty on the original serial number.

Sometimes it's just wrong. Perhaps the reseller entered in the sales date incorrectly. Call Apple support and discuss the problem with them. They may ask you to fax them a copy of your receipt.

You'll probably have difficulty convincing them that the scratch wasn't there when you brought it in, but you can go back to the store and talk to them about it.

Hi! If I buy an ipod touch 5g from the US and I travel to another country, for example Philippines, will it function in that country without having to modify anything from the device?

I bought an ipod touch 4 from ebay, and I tried registering it in my name but it says I cannot because its still registered under another user. My question is, what has to be done in order for my ipod to be registered in my account?

I recently bought an ipod touch 4 from ebay, and I tried to register it under my name but appearently its still registered under someone elses; probably the person I bought it from. What can be done so that I can register my ipod touch 4 to my apple id account?

From:
Apple - Product Registration - Welcome
The Apple Product Registration website is closed.
If you’re trying to register an Apple product, chances are it’s already registered. Most Apple products can be registered when you turn them on for the first time and begin the setup process. Service and support for your Apple product are linked to its serial number, so it’s OK if you don’t register it.

I bought ipod touch 4G from dubai but i stay in india. facetime is missing from my ipod. how should i get it?

i bought ipod touch 4G from dubai but i stay in india. facetime is missing from my ipod. how should i get it? people pls help.

omijh,
It will not work no matter how many times you choose to restore your iPod touch. If it is blocked than it is blocked. So prern do not restore your iPod. It will take up your time and will be a waste. Listen to stedman1 and Dave Sawyer. An by the way, Facetime is available on iOS 4...so again you are wrong.

Thks.

No, you use iTunes on either a PC or a Mac as the Apple article says in the link I supplied in my previous post.

I assume that the "syncing" you're talking about is an iPhoto/Mac feature.
Unfortunately, I'm working on a PC(Windows7), and I can't find any of this in my PC iTunes.
Could you confirm ?
Thks in advance

You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabilng the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
Next, authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account. In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials.
If possible, either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync. To do this, right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc. For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases. For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering different software availbable to assist you with this task.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier. Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
