Downgrade/Update Question

[munkE]

I am so confused right now. I have an iPod Touch 2g, running 3.1.2 jailbroken. I want to upgrade to 4.0.1, but because that's not the most recent firmware, I cannot do what I would normally do (update through iTunes legitimately, and just jailbreak after). I have SHSH blobs for 4.0.1 signed to Saurik's server, and I already have iTunes going to his server instead of Apple's. From here, do I "restore" to 4.0.1, even though I am not technically downgrading? And if this is the case, do I need to be in DFU mode to do so?

Any help is greatly appreciated,

why don't you hit restore in iTunes to take you to the final fw of 4.2.1 and jb with redsnow 0.9.6rc8

No dfu nor rec mode is needed

I was unaware of 4.2.1 being jailbreakable. I'll try it right now.
