iTunes scripts not running.. just hangs

[Korazu]

I was able to create the IPSW and seem to get the device into DFU mode as it uploads files.  When gets to the restore in iTunes then it just sits there.  Looking in the SP_Debug.log fie I see thousands of the following line:

2013-02-23 12:22:48.809 Seas0nPass[972:af4f] iTunes window children count was less than 14, looping until 14 is reached.

Nothing else happens, just loops.

Any ideas?

I ran into the same problem that nothing happend when Seas0nPass should run the script.

What I did was to quit Seas0nPass. It has done its job patching the IPSW.

Then I Control-clicked the Restore button in iTunes and browsed to where the patched IPSW file was and selected that.

Voila! The ATV got restored with the patched IPSW and was jailbroken once again.

 

• Running on OS X 10.8.2 and iTunes 11.0.1

Where was the location of your ipsw file?

Thanks! I was actually finally able to get mine working properly after I installed 6.1 from Apple and then tried to run SP again and everything worked first try.

Where was the location of your ipsw file?

It was buried in the user library: ~/Library/Application Support/Seas0nPass/Firmware

Weird, I don’t have seas0npass folder under Application Support for some reason. Neither the Firmware or the ipsw file. The only ipsw file I got was under tethering folder in documents. And it’s not jb when using that file.

Yep. That IPSW looks pretty standard. It was also the first I tried to use :)

But are you sure that you are looking in the User library and not the System library?

In OSX 10.7 and 10.8 the User library is hidden. 
The easiest way to access the User library is this:

 

1. In the Finder, choose Go > Go To Folder. 
2. In the Go To Folder dialog, type ~/Library
3. Click Go.

Thanks lkodk! I was actually looking at the System Library actually. 

I ran this to unhide the User Library folder: chflags nohidden ~/Library 

And JB again, this time the seas0npass script managed to run all the way to the false positive 1602 error! And it was successfully jailbroken with firecore logo!!

This is what I got to work with iTunes 11:

This is the solution I got to work, quoted from a response to another post:

@gwpurnell

Working with iTunes 11, I couldn’t get the 5.2 jailbreak to work. The ATV2 was prepared for restore (i.e. everything was scrubbed) but the jailbroken IPSW didn’t install and the process exited with an error dialogue. I tried this five times, switching from my PC to a laptop just in case it was a machine config problem. Still no dice!

I don’t know what (other than desperation) motivated me but I decided a different approach was necessary. Instead of just doing the default left-click on the IPSW button, I right-clicked on the create IPSW button, which presents a choice of iOS versions for installation. I chose the most up to date one at the bottom and when the magic was done and the Apple TV2 was put into DFU mode, the installation script did its stuff; iTunes was opened and the correct iOS was chosen and installed automatically, without my intervention. I’m not sure why the script didn’t work choosing the default IPSW creation method but it worked faultlessly when choosing a custom iOS. I went to bed last night at 1:45am (I hate to leave a problem unsolved) very tired but very happy. I am now on iOS 5.2 with official Bluetooth support (Yippee!).

I hope this method helps other users who get stuck using the default installation method in Seas0nPass.

I hope it works for you.

For those of you wondering why you can’t CTRL-click the ‘Restore’ button in iTunes on your Mac, try OPTION-clicking it.
