iPod Touch recovery mode & USB Device Not Recognized

update itunes, get itunes 9 and update the driver in windows, go to device manager.

"iPod Touch (2nd Gen) Model A1213

Got the 32GB iPod as a gift from my brother.

Apple said it [color:red]CAN NOT[/color] install any version ABOVE [color:blue]iPhone OS ver. 3.1.3[/color]

I have tried 100+ times to update Firmware using iTunes...yada yada yadaa. The problem started after trying to update to IOS 7.xx - result: Update failed and get stuck on start screen. I tried all the ""solutions"" as I was given in the forums, but no avail!

I'm currently downloading -

iOS Firmware 3.1.3 (7E18) for iPhone 2G file name: iPhone1,1_3.1.3_7E18_Restore.ipsw (227.27MB) from this link: iosindex.com

When done, I will copy the file to my ""iTunes Update Folder"" (as I'm using Windows 7 Pro OS :-( _)

[path to folder: C:\Users\""your current username""\AppData\Local\Apple\Apple Software Update]

If this update work, I will post the result and hopefully help someone in the future!

Please hold thumbs for me...
