I've tried two ways.
First the downgrade to 1.1.1 with itunes and ipod touch in DFU mode, then going to jailbreakme.com and jailbreaking 1.1.1, and staying on that one, because i don't have 7.5 . I liked it, and installing the iphone apps was super simple without a problem.

The second one, Restoring to 1.1.4 (non-jailbroken) then using ziphone. With ziphone i had loads of problems.. BSD root error thingy, the spamming AT ... then i couldn't get the iphone apps, it didn't work and i couldn't get the wobbly icons.

After that i tried jailbreaking it back to 1.1.1 in DFU mode, because i liked that one more, but I just couldn't get into the DFU mode. So the ipod got stuck alot, and after pressing alot buttons i got out. I also trief the Forced restore, but that didn't work... So now i have an ipod touch 1.1.4 non-jailbroken..

Is it than right to say that the first one is the most stable?

What do you think i should now do? I want to jailbreak it, but i'm scared it's going to go in the endless loop of restoring without achieving something..
 
First - Do a clean restore to 1.1.4. When iTunes asks for a back up refuse. This will be just like an "out of the box" Touch.

Second - Download ZiPhone 2.6b. Close iTunes - Jailbreak Touch.

This has worked for me on two different Touchs. Good Luck.

1. Yes - just to be safe

2. I can't answer that. 1.1.3 is considered old. All the new stuff is out for 1.1.4 and getting ready for the June update. Remember, this is a personal choice on your part.

This jailbreak takes like 1 minute. It is so simple.
 
I jailbroke (or is it jailbreaked? Anyway...) my 16gig touch with ZiPhone 2.6b. It took a couple of tries to not have the problem with the keyboard freeze but now it seems very stabble, more so than 1.1.1 jailbreak I had on it before.

After that, with ziphone, with what source do i install the iphone apps?? Because i used applerepo.us or something and it didn't work..
