iPod Touch failed Dev Team's 1.1.3 Update; keeps restarting...

Hey everyone, I seem to have a huge problem right now...

I was using a jailbroken iPod Touch running on 1.1.2 when I decided to update to 1.1.3 using the downloaded program from Dev Team in Installer.
It showed a status bar, saying it was updating and everything, but as soon as it was done, it turned itself off. A few seconds later, it turned itself back on, showed the Apple logo, the screen was a little distorted, and it kept doing that.
It hasn't stopped restarting. Been about 12 hours. So, now the battery is dead, I tried plugging it in and Restoring it in iTunes, but since I restarts every few seconds, iTunes does have enough time to recognize it and let me execute 'Restore'.

I have no idea what to do. I spent all of Sunday reading practically all of Apple's support site, and none of their methods worked.
Is there any way I can fix it?
If not, do you think Apple would be willing to trade it in for a refurbished one, considering it's been jailbroken and I have a laser engraving on it?
Please, guys, I really need your help. I'm stuck in a car for 2 hours every day on the way to school and back--I need something to listen to.

Thanks.

Hey guys, I tried manually restoring and it worked. While I was at it, I got the software update. It's pretty cool.
I got lost today and so I went and parked next to a Five Guys restaurant and I used Google maps to pinpoint my location and find directions from there.
It's neat, you should try it.

Anyways, thanks, both of you, for trying to help me.
Long live the iPod Touch!
