I made it somehow, but i don't know if it's an easy thing to do. You'll have to do some stuff.
I'll tell you anyway smile.gif

1. So first downgrade to 1.1.1 by entering recovery mode in the ipod and restore it from a downloaded firmware form Apple's website.
2. Then use jailbrakeme dot com to hack it.
3. In the installer app run the octoprep /it's located in Tweaks 1.1.1./
4. Update normally from iTunes to 1.1.2 /you can choos from which file to upgrade by holding Shift while pressing Update, same goes if you press Restore while holding it/
5. After update you should still have installer app, choose from it System -> Official 1.1.3 Upgrader and wait...
6. At this poin your iPod should have 1.1.3 smile.gif
7. Add this source to the source list ipodtouchmaster.com/files/repo.xml
8. Find in installer iPhone 1.1.3 Applications and install "The iPhone 1.1.3 apps" and 1.1.3 Fix Mail
9. It's done!

Try it smile.gif

You can use Brazillian Touch to Jailbreak your iPod Touch AND install January Software Upgrade. If you have Firmware files (iPod1,1_1.1.2xxxxxxxxx_Restore.ipsw), you can use it, no need to redownload every time you want to jailbreak.

This is the files:

BrazillianTouch Small Version (WITHOUT Firmware files) [ZIP File, about 1679kB (1,6MB)]
http://www.driveway.com/b8t1r4v0i7
http://www.driveway.com/p2l4k3b3p2

BrazillianTouch Full Version (INCLUDE the iPod Touch ONLY firmware file) [ZIP File, about 171.123kB (167MB)]
[waiting for upload the file to post the link]

EDIT: Bugfixes and improvements to Small Version...

Yep. It does to mine.

This is what I did--FWIW:

-First, made sure that the iPod Touch was running 1.1.1 and
-Jailbreak it by pointing MobileSafari to http://jailbreakme.com

You have a jailbroken 1.1.1 iPod--halfway there.

The next step might take a couple of tries and quite a while--the key is don't give up. Making sure you're near a good wifi signal helps immensely.

-Go into Installer.app and select sources.
-Add this as a source (no quotes): "iJailbreak.com/repo.plist"
-Once it finishes updating, exit installer.app and re-enter it.
-Go to Install and scroll down--you should see a folder that says iJailbreak Mobile.
-Select the updater for jailbroken 1.1.1 iPhones/iPod Touches.
-Let it do its thing (it took about 20 minutes on mine).

Once finished, go into your settings General -- > About and ensure it's 1.1.3 (build 4A93).

You may need to upgrade Installer.app--go ahead and do that.

Would also recommend installing both the BSD Subsystem and its Terminal fix--a lot of applications seem to rely on it.
