Talk to you soon!
Thank you for your visit and the update, Please keep us posted.

Now I'm on 1.1.1 - how do I upgrade?
Thanks,
Aly.
This is what I've heard: to run jailbreakme.com, your Wi-Fi can not be using a proxy ie Wi-fi Proxy Settings: Off. Also, often it doesn't work first time, infact it's taken some people hours even days for AppSnapp to install.
this url sums up the AppSnapp problem well:

Btw, Samer Azmy, thanks alot! Only your method has allowed me to downgrade from 1.1.4 to 1.1.1!
Gretz!
Thanks for your help :)
I updated the link to Autdown.zip on rapidshare
Please try now and let me know
good luck
Samer
thanks

sorryy
Thanks!
Aly.
I tried using a method of AppSnapp onto the iTouch without wifi, but it was terrible and actually ended up needing wifi to do one of the steps. Basically, you need wifi to do this.
=(
Thank you for posting back your experience.
I'm collecting list of Itouch Source repos
will love to see you contributing to it

All I really needed was to have Books app on my iTouch, 'cause that'd be the source of my iHappiness. First, when I had a 1.1.1. firmware, I downloaded Installer and Books, but I couldn't use it, because nothing just recognized my iPod (no Anapod, no WinSCP, nothing), so I couldn't upload texts.
Finally, I found a thing called TouchCopy, and it allowed me to upload all my ebooks onto iTouch. I was happy for a day. Then I updated iTunes... Of course, it all got deleted.
And now, finally, when I was able to use your method and downgrade the firmware, I *did* manage to get the Installer eventually, BUT there's no Books! More than a half of Installer apps are missing! Oh my freaking God, is it just my luck, or Karma!?
Aly ;D

Good luck!
ive been trying to downgrade for a while now with an unknown error...
and the down.bat fixed
THANK YOU
Hey. Thanks for your help, and for the offer of more help. Fortunately, everything's okay now.
I went to find another wifi spot, where I was able to just sit and give some attention to my iTouch problems. It turned out that, for some reason, after I installed 1.1.1 firmware on my downgraded iPod, it had very little sources. I dunno why.
Anyways, I had to add them one by one manually, but, eventually, I had what I needed. So, thanks, but right now (knock on wood) things are looking up. Though, there's no way I'm upgrading anything ever again without being 99% sure it won't make me want to kill iTunes/Apple afterwards.
Thanks again!
Aly.
To go beyond 1.1.1 jailbreaking, you should follow this tutorial. It works very well!

@Zain:
Did you follow the tutorial 100% correctly? Once you Restore the iPod, you have to reformat it when the iTouch reconnects to your computer. I must stress that you format the iTouch as a new iPod and not a backup of your old one. Also make sure that it doesn't sync music or anything else as this has sometimes lead to the iTouch keyboard freezing.
Good luck!
would you mind posting the exact error, because just saying that an error popped up isn't quite descriptive enough. thanks =)
A friend of mine tried to do the AutoDown process, but it would seem that the new upload of AutoDown is corrupt/broken and doesn't work. Might go check it out now.
@Samer Azmy.
the sources i use are the installer standard ones, madpike05.googlepages.com/repo.xml for the 1.1.3 January Update apps, iSpazio.net - their repo and the Community Sources app which adds plenty of decent sources.
When I get my Touch set up (the jailbreak to 1.1.3 reset my iPod so I lost all my sources) I'll post a list of my favourite sources.
keep me posted, if you needed anything
Guys, I was wondering if I can upgrade to 1.1.3 after I downgraded to 1.1.1 and jailbroken my iTouch. I finally have books, and chats, and other stuff there, but I don't know if it'll stay there after I upgrade to (at least) 1.1.3
Thanks.
I succesfully downgraded 1.1.4 to 1.1.1 but everytime on my itouch i try to dowload appsnap it runs for a minute or soo then closes safari without properly downloading.
whats wrong?
It says "the ipod ipod could not be restored. An unknown error occured (020)"
What could be wrong?
Thanks.
plz answer
plz answer
I couldn't say exactly because I don't have a 2G iPod Touch (Not yet anyway :D). There's no harm in trying since if it stuffs up you can just restore the 2.x firmware.
Good luck!
It should work, try nothing to lose
what do i do?
is tehre annother website?
Follow the steps up there, but for the desired firmware file
good luck
at all.
now i lost all of my songs.
all of my apps.
about $20 worth of shit only on my ipod.
thanks, man.
thanks a ton.
