Hi
I followed the same procedure to created a signed and updated IPSW as in the 4.4.4 method. I have successfully done that 3 times with ATVs on 4.4.4
This ATV is on 4.3, so I ran iFaith, retrieved the Blobs, built the signed IPSW with these Blobs - had to download 4.3 (8f455 firmware)
I then ran season pass to Jailbreak the original 8f455 firmware, then pulled the 2 x DMG files from that with TC and then injected them back into the signed IPSW… all went well…
Ran iFaith again to put into DFU and then iTunes and constantly get a 1604 error. Same cable and PC as I used for 4.4.4 successfully.
The ATV is seen in iTunes - although now it is always in DFU. It extracts the signed and jb IPSW ok, but always sits trying to prepare the ATV for restore, and then finished with the 1604 error.
Is it possible to update the ATV to 4.4.4?
Any other thoughts?
Thanks
OK. A wee update on this problem…
I could not get 4.3 to come out of DFU and work… It showed the USB and iTunes on the TV and stopped being able to take any update, even the OEM IPSW from Apple.
I had saved the blobs from 4.3 and had built the iFaith and TC IPSW, so knew that process was OK as I have done it on d.4.4 about 4 times.
Anyway, the only solution I could find, even after using SeasonPass old and new, which would only allow me to go to 5…
So I plugged into iTunes and did a Restore to Factory, got 5 installed, then tried to Jailbreak it. It did that successfully using Seas0npass.
I then forced into DFU using iReb on iFaith and then in iTunes, I did a Shift-Restore, as I had previously, selected the 4.3 iFaith/TC/Seas0npass IPSW and it rested it this time ok and all works!
I SUSPECT - and thats all it is - that Apple is playing some card here… that I could roll-back once on 5, but couldn’t do it from stock 4.3. There were no Apple.gs lines in my PCs files…
Interestingly, from within ATVFlash, when I go to backup my Blobs, it shows as 5.0 ones… so upgrading to 5, then back to 4.3, only saves 5.0 ones on the ATV!
