Have a ATV2 with 5.2.1. Used a PC and iFaith to get blob and signed IPSW just in case. Using 0.9.3 of seas0n pass (can’t find 0.9.2) and right clicking the create IPSW and selecting 5.2.1. Everything goes well until I get the itunes script error and am presented with the IPSW file in a finder window. I tried copying this file to the desktop and doing a shift+restore and selecting the IPSW file but the restore failed. Now I cannot even get back to square 1 with the iFaith restore either… ATV is stuck in restore mode. Suggestions?
Thanks!
Forgot to mention that all the iFaith work is on a Windows XP machine and everything else is on a Mac with OSX 10.8.5 and iTunes 11.1.
My first thought is the latest version of iTunes is actually 11.1.1 which might be an issue. There was a recent update from 11.1.
Update and see if that doesn’t solve your issue. It may or may not. Also, try SP 9.3 on your PC for jailbreaking, a platform that seems to work better overall with SP 9.3 than a MAC. You can just start again, especially if you have already saved your blobs with iFaith.
My second thought is that unless you’re wed to version 5.2.1, why not update to version 5.3 which I understand Apple is still signing? It leaves you with the same tethered jailbreak, but with additional features including HBO GO and Watch ESPN.
Hope it works for you.
Thanks! I finally gave up and just let Seas0nPass use 5.3 and it worked… I am nervous about upgrading any apple software at this point, even itunes.
With itunes, just uninstall the one you don’t want, search for a previous version and install it.
