    Connect your device, run the program, and press save SHSH. Whatever SHSH you are able to save is what firmwares you can restore to.

    If you don't have SHSHs you can't downgrade. In which case you can jailbreak your device with greenpois0n.

    Thanks, It can't downgrade to 4.1 ... Is there an alternative or is it impossible for ipod touch 4g 4.2.1 to downgrade to 4.1?

    There isn't another way. Sorry to say, no SHSHs, no downgrade possible.

    Right, you can't downgrade since it says it doesn't have your SHSHs for 4.1.
