I have used seasonpass numerous times in the past to jailbreak atv2’s. I have done at least a dozen so I am not a complete noob but I am having trouble with one that I was given. I keep getting error 3194 in iTunes.
It has iOS 4.1 installed and has no blobs backed up. Is it possible to jailbreak using a custom firmware? I know apple is only signing 5.1 so is there anyway around this? I have tried using the Total Commander method with no luck. :(. I thought the atv2 would be similar to the iPhone/iPads where if you were on a lower firmware you would use the correct jailbreak
tool for that iOS.
you can use the 4.4.2 tethered method to jailbreak your units you dont even need saved blobs if you dont have it, you can download someone elses, there is a thread on this. check it out
i upgraded from 4.2 (8C150) straight to the 4.4.2 without a problem. my 4.2 also was unsupported by seasonpass and i didnt use my own blob for 4.4.2 cause i didnt have one
Yeah I had seen the post regarding the tethered jailbreak of 4.2.2 using downloaded blobs. Tethered won’t work as this unit is for someone who is not tech savvy at all and they will not know how to boot tethered. They also live out of town so I can’t even set it up initially for them. It’s strange that even though I’m on a firmware that CAN be jailbroken, there is no way to currently bypass the apple iOS signing check in iTunes.
