I personally really like this method, it is very simple and I think it is easier than the other two methods I have posted today. So if you haven’t already done so you can give this one a try. Also this is the only way right now that lets you get to 1.1.3 from a jailbroken 1.1.1 iPod Touch.
So for those of you who did purchase the $20 apps, you can use iTunes 7.6 to restore down to 1.1.1. And once you have completed the Jailbreak all you have to do is sync your iPod to your computer and the apps will come back. The previous problem was that iTunes 7.6 messed up oktoprep and once you restored to 1.1.1 you could no longer get back to 1.1.2. And of course all the Jailbreak methods until now needed 1.1.2. So if you are stuck or 1.1.1 or just an easy way to get from 1.1.2 to 1.1.3 this is the best answer right now.
AriX and I are VERY pleased to announce the immediate availability of iJailBreakMobile 1.0, a new branch of the wildly-successful iJailBreak utility.
iJailBreakMobile allows iPod Touches and iPhones to be automatically upgraded to, and jailbreak on 1.1.3 through Installer.app.
The great thing about iJailBreakMobile is that it does not require the use of a computer, so regardless of what operating system of architecture your computer may be running on, iJailBreakMobile will work just fine. As such, this fixes the File Not Found error and PowerPC compatibility issues.
You must start on a jailbroken installation of 1.1.1 or 1.1.2. To downgrade from 1.1.3 to 1.1.1, please visit www.ijailbreak.com/downgrade113. To downgrade from 1.1.2 to 1.1.1, please visit www.ijailbreak.com/downgrade112. iPod Touch owners need only follow page 1 and then visit JailbreakMe.com to jailbreak. iPhone owners should do the first and second pages (which includes jailbreaking). At this point, your device is ready to use iJailBreak.
To jailbreak, go into Installer.app, tap sources at the bottom right, then Edit at the top right, then Add at the top left, and add http://ijailbreak.com/repo.plist. Then, under the iJailBreakMobile category, choose the right upgrade package for you - if you’re on a jailbroken 1.1.1, choose 1.1.1; if you’re on a jailbroken 1.1.2, choose 1.1.2. The installation should take about 45 minutes, depending on your Internet connection. Once done, the device will try to reboot automatically. If you see that it’s stuck with just the “spinning cog” on the screen, it’s safe to manually reboot the device, at which point you’ll enter into 1.1.3.
NOTE: This will not remove, break, or mess with iPhone activation or unlocks. Everything should work as before.
Also in the iJailBreakMobile category is “Remove 1.1.3 Jailbreak Data” (only for use with devices who upgraded from 1.1.1)), “iPod Touch Software Upgrade” (free and legal way to install the iPhone apps on the iPod Touch), and the “Fix Mail Passwords” package, which will patch Mail.app for those with it installed and fix the issue with it remembering passwords (this issue also exists within the Apple-distributed version).
For those who are wondering, the 1.1.1 jailbreak is based on the Nate True method while the 1.1.2 jailbreak is based on the iPhone Dev Team method. As such, iJailBreakMobile is released under the GNU General Public License version 2.
Let me know how it works out for you guys.

Hold down the hold button and the sleep button for a while until you see an icon that says for you to connect your ipod to the computer.

To upgrade to 1.1.2, just install oktoprep in the installer, then upgrade to 1.1.2
lonman06 // January 29, 2008 at 8:27 pm
The ijailbreak server is currently down due to a huge amount of people using it over the last day. It will come back up.

ron // January 30, 2008 at 3:13 pm
I have heard that there are some problems with summerboard and 1.1.3. I think the bugs are still being worked out.
can't get it // January 30, 2008 at 3:13 pm
i couldnt get the ijailbreak mobile way to work and i tried the official too, so i’m going to try ipodtouchmaster’s and the elite team
paul // January 30, 2008 at 3:18 pm
As some of you know, iJailBreak.com (and thus iJailBreakMobile) servers were down from about 3:30 PM Eastern to 7:30 PM Eastern. Everything got overloaded from all of the downloads and visits. We moved to a new, better server as soon as we could, but the downtime still amounted to roughly 4 hours. Sincerest apologies! Everything is back up.
Also, apologies for not being able to push the fix allowing users upgraded from 1.1.2 to install the iPhone apps. That’ll be sent tomorrow.

Jeandana // February 3, 2008 at 3:45 am
I tried the ijailbreak 1.1.1 installation ss I before had a jailbroken 1.1.1. Waited for 2 hrs to learn hat I got stuck with login screen cmd line.
At the same time, if iopen the installer.apps I cant find all the installed files in the uninstall. Please help me what should I do next
lonman06 // February 3, 2008 at 2:24 pm
Jeandana you need to force restore your ipod touch.
To restore your iPod Touch, hold down the Power and Home buttons on the device until the Apple logo appears on the screen, at which point you can let go of the Power button– but keep holding the Home button. When you see the “Connect to iTunes” logo appear, you may let go of the Home button, connect your device to your computer, and use iTunes to restore.
