Hi all, I purchased a Apple TV 2 device and realised it was running 4.2.1 software which I am hoping I can jailbreak untethered after reading a sticky by the admin stating that there is a untethered jailbreak for the software i have on my Apple Tv 2.
Is it possible ? If so, is there a link to a tutorial here on FireCore outlining the method to carry out this procedure…?
I guess I was just very lucky with the two I jailbroke, including one 4.2.1 last night.
You indicated that you tried every version of SP so my solution does not apply, but FIRECORE and SEASONPASS are simply not “synchronized” when it comes to this version, something which can understanably defeat perplexed users.
Version 4.2.1 in staff member James’ version “Bible” corresponds with 8F202.
However, version 4.2.1 in Seasonpass corresponds with version 8C154 – Not 8F202. By choosing 4.2.1 (8C154) from Seasonpass, you WILL receive the dreaded “Not eligible for this version” message.
In Seasonpass, you actually have to choose the 4.3 (8F202) option if you are to have any chance of this working – which obviously doesn’t happen in all cases. But it certainly did for me.
James’ Version 4.2.1 (8F202) corresponds to what you see in the ATV settings menu. Why the Seasonpass options differ and are confusing really makes little sense.
I’ve been able to jailbrake both my 4.2.1’s by choosing version 4.3 (8F202) in Seasonpass. When jailbroken, they read 4.2.1 in the “Settings” menu.
Is version 4.2.1 another one to avoid based on others’ problems? This is becoming a mine field.
So it appeared my device was stuck in recovery mode which i used tinyumbrella to exit and selected 4.3 via seasonpass like you advised and worked successfully.
