I'm guessing you were jailbroken with spirit on 3.1.3

Force your iPod touch into DFU mode http://www.hackint0sh.org/f137/54082.htm and then restore to clean 4.2.1 again

wait did i put 3.1.3? i meant 3.1.2 jailbroken with jailbreakme.com. but im going to try what you said. thanks, sorry for the typo

You should always restore rather than update when your phone is jailbroken. Especially when you run a userland jailbreak like spirit or jailbreakme.

well i have tried both ways. it restored fully once but after that it showed this messgae that it was going to reboot back into the homescreen, but then it goes right back into recovery mode. i tried to restore it many times after that but it hangs sometimes a 3rd of the way there and other times 3/4 of the way there. do i have to uninstall itunes and reinstall it or just that my ipod doesnt work anymore? thank you for your time

Hold down the Power and Home button until it says the iTunes Logo with the Cable, it will show another Apple sign, but keep holding down until the iTunes Logo with the Cable shows up. Plug into iTunes if you haven't already. Now it will say it has detected and iPod/iPhone etc. in Recovery Mode. Press Restore iPod/iPhone/iPad etc. Done!

Hope this helps!
