Hi guys,
I keep getting the 3190 error, known as ‘can’t recover the firmware, the file is put in finder…’.
Guess this problem normally appears at higher firmwares like 5.2+ so I can’t figure this out. Also tried the simple mode on sn0wbreeze but the same error appears.
Anyone got an idea? If not, can someone confirm me that this version isn’t jailbreak-able.
Cheers from Holland:D
Are you using the most up to date Seas0npass? It will automatically break. You will need a to do a teathered boot though. I’m assuming you don’t have the most up to date file as I was getting the same error before the update came out the other day.
Before what update? Seas0npass? I am using the latest version, just re-downloaded it. Now trying to update to 5.1 and JB that one…
If you are, try not to choose a specific firmware, unless there is something specific on that firmware you are looking for. I did nothing special and let it do its thing. Also start from a fresh Apple restore, that seems to correct some problems others were having.
Yeah but if I restore by iTunes it will put 5.2.1 on which is not jailbreakable, right? So I’m stuck now, Apple does not sign (restore) 5.0.2 anymore and I can’t update cause 5.2.1 is unjailbreakable.
Or is there any other option?
edit
5.2.1 is jailbreakable, a tethered JB.
5.2.1 is jailbreakable, it’s what I am running now. It is a tethered boot, but that’s minor really. Do the full restore then run Seas0npass without choosing a specific firmware. Do everything by default. You may run into error 1604. If you do, run the full process again and it should work fine.
For what I do, the only bug I run into is XBMC causes the ATV to lock up when you try to exit and it caused me to have to re-jailbreak once. Again minor.
But a tethered JB will mean I have to connect to my mac every time I turn it on, or doesn’t it? I only know this by jailbreaking a iPhone so correct me if I’m wrong. The ATV only goes on standby so never really reboot, or do you have to tether every time? I never used tethered JB’s.
If that’s the only option I’ll do that.
Yes - if you power your ATV off (or do a hard reset) then you have to repeat the tethered boot phase.
However in reality many (most?) people do not switch their ATV off - merely put into sleep/standbye mode. It can come back from that state without needing a tethered boot. FoR such users the fact it is tethered is not much of a nuisance.
Thanks for your help, I understand now.
Too bad, I thought I did very good with buying ATV with a older firmware, but now I have to upgrade it anyway. haha
If I had to jailbreak each time I exited xbmc I’d hardly call that minor. Sounds like a gigantic PITA to me.
