Right: Well, I'm not sure if they can tell or not, considering you can't
boot it correctly, but you could always take it to an Apple store or
something like that and ask the guys at the Genius bar to look at it
quickly: they fixed my Nano after I installed custom firmware on it and
completely crushed it. Granted, that was like 5 years ago, but still.

Well the thing is, basically i am trying to establish whether or not this iTouch is even able to be fixed. Also, do you think its possible that Apple could detect if it was jailbroken if i take it in being i am still under warranty? I want to try all options before i take it into apple becuase i dont want warranty to be voided.

See, it should show up regardless: Try a new computer, or follow the link to
my other post that I mentioned before, and follow the instructions to
restart the Apple Device service (not reinstall it).

1.) Yes
2.) Yes
3.) Yes
4.) My iTouch won't show up in iTunes UNLESS its in DFU mode.

That is so strange. So, you:
1. are positive you have a 3G, and not a 2G?
2. Reinstalled iTunes?
3. have the right version of the firmware?
4. Tried restoring normally again (not in DFU mode)?
The next step, at least for me, would be to actually physically try another
computer.

You need to download the VERY last firmware in the list (Its the only iPod
Touch 3G one). Did you do that?

I did what you said but iTunes is giving me an error saying that the firmware file is not compatible
