make sure you chose the right firmware to restore, if not look for a custon firmware.
Try tinyumbrella?

Yea I'm not sure why'd you'd reset all the data?
But as long as you restored it, it's ok.

1: Plug it into your computer and open up itunes
2: then hold down the home and sleep/wake button on the top for 30 secs itunes should reconize it and say its in recovery mode click ok
3: if your ipod was jailbroken and you want to keep it jailbroken then go to this link [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] and go to the second drop down menu and select your ipod and version 4.2.1 and hit download
4:Once the file is downloaded go to itunes and click the restore button while hitting the shift button if you did it right it will tell you to select a file. Select the file you just downloaded and hit okay
