GUIDE: 1.1.1 to Jailbroken 1.1.2
NOTES:
-This guide is for Windows.
-To save your applications and settings from 1.1.1 to 1.1.2, make sure you have done the following:
GUIDE: Increasing 3rd party Application Limit - iPod touch Fans forum . Do it again AFTER jailbreaking 1.1.2.
WARNING: Having your applications folder moved BEFORE upgrading(to)/jailbreaking 1.1.2 has been identified as a possible cause for the "spinning wheel" problem. My suggestion is to simply back up your applications folder on to your computer, then after upgrading to and jailbreaking 1.1.2, moving the relevant things back, and THEN following the steps described in the link to create a symlink.
-Remove your passcode lock before updating if you have one. (tip from MagicSynthesis)

0)
Download the 1.1.2 firmware from somewhere. The filename should end in "_Restore.ipsw". I will not say here where to get it, NOR WILL I RESPOND TO PM REQUESTS FOR A LINK. Search the forums here, you should find one soon enough, or if somebody feels daring, post it here. (I'm putting this as step zero because you need to do it, atleast up until 1.1.2 is officially released. When it is, I can easily remove this step, and we start at 1.)
1)
Download Zip Blocking and unzip it to somewhere. Make sure the directory structure has no spaces in it.
2) Ensure that your iPod touch is atleast at step 2b from my other guide:
GUIDE: 1.1.1 Jailbreak and Application Installation - iPod touch Fans forum . This means that you should have a
JAILBROKEN IPOD TOUCH ON FIRMWARE 1.1.1.
3) Go to Installer, Install, "Tweaks (1.1.1)", "Oktoprep". Install
Oktoprep. If you don't know how to do this, you probably shouldn't be attempting this. DONT FORGET THIS STEP.
4) Connect your iPod touch to your computer and get iTunes up. Choose your iPod touch. Click Update. (Assuming I still have a step 0 up there, here is what you do. Press and hold "shift" and click "Check for update".
Find your 1.1.2 firmware and select it. Press enter. Now wait and watch this fun screen:
Wait until your iPod touch is updated to 1.1.2.
5)
Close iTunes. (May not be needed, but I did it. I also killed my related processes, but that has been giving others problems.)
6) Ensure that your iPod touch is attached to your computer. Go to that folder you unzipped the jailbreak.zip to, and
run windows.bat. Follow the onscreen instructions. It pretty much involves clicking a button then waiting, so, you don't really need a walkthrough of this. Also, it may be a good idea to check this box:
Fellow forumgoer Stephen.4 was having troubles connecting via SSH after the 1.1.2 jailbreak, and only after restoring and rejailbreaking and clicking that box was he able to connect. (I don't know personally know if this is needed.
