New aTV 4.4.4 - Options?

siwy · April 27, 2012, 10:26pm

I just got a refurb aTV2 from Apple. What are my options are far as jailbreaking this thing? I’d prefer to go with an untethered jailbreak on the current firmware but I understand I can’t use seasonpass for this. I read somewhere to use iFaith to get the SHSB blogs but I for the life of me can’t get the thing in DFU mode (tried about 10 different methods). Any suggestions? Any guides on how to jailbreak now with 4.4.4?

Thanks in advance!!!

Use iFaith 1.4.2 and Snowbreeze 2.9.3…It works, i just did a 4.4.4 (3330) today on a Win 7 64 bit machine.

Here’s the guide, thanks to Nutmeister.

Hi all.
I might be able to help some of you with a fix ive heard from a couple of peeps but am kinda gonna try and give u a quick guide.
I have finally jailbreaked my apple tv using this method.
I had 4.4.4 f/w on my apple tv. When i did the guide that has just come out step by step and open i-tunes i was getting the dreaded 1600 error that everyone is talking about.i upgraded f/w to 5.0 during the course of the day but had the blobs from when it was 4.4.4 (Luck more than anything)
ive also had errors
1604
3194
along with the dreaded 1600.
This is how to get around it.
Download snowbreeze 2.9.3 from here www.ih8sn0w.com/
Open it up. press o.k
then the arrow in bottom right hand corner.
press browse and locate the ipsw (should look like this Appletv2.1_4.4.4_9A406a_Restore) or whatever version ATV you have (4.3).
it will verifiy it. press the arrow button again.
Then select IFaith Mode.
it will then ask for you to locate ShSh blobs.
this should be a long number and at the end should say (9A406a) or your version-blobs.ifaith.
this will process and take about 5mins to work its magic
At the end of this you will have a new custom snowbreeze f/w sitting on your desktop.
then hit o.k on snowbreeze again.
this take you through the DFU Pwner.
Load up i-tune.
Keep hold of shift and press Restore.
find ur new snowbreeze f/w and let it do its magic.
NO more 1600 error at the end.
It take about a min to load up when u plug it back into ur tv. mine rebooted a few times before it worked.
you will the nito tv sign. all is good
Been working on this apple tv since 9am this morning until now.
Enjoy

I forgot to mention when you get iFaith working you should "Dump and save your blobs) first then you can use iFaith to “build” a signerd IPSW file for 4.4.4 using your saved blobs. I used atvFlash (black) to install XBMC after the jailbreak because NitroTV failed to install it.

congiday408 · April 28, 2012, 3:16am

I did follow what you have done, but I still have error 1600. Any ideas? Thank you.

kajun · April 28, 2012, 11:30am

.

The only idea(s) i have is for you to keep trying, follow the guide to a T…Shut down all firewalls/anti-virus, try another

usb port another usb cable (shorter is better in electronics) try another computer, Win xp if possible.

Thanks for the help. I was able to get my aTV box jailbroken and keep 4.4.4!! The hardest part that took me almost 2 hrs was to get it in DFU mode for iFaith. What finally worked for me was a few seconds after plugging in the usb cable holding down+menu for 7 secs then letting for briefly and holding down play+menu for an additional 7 secs. After getting the knack of getting it in DFU mode I was able to do it every time afterwards. Lovin the aTV with NaviX and IceFilms!

congiday408 · May 1, 2012, 4:50pm

That means you upgraded 4.4.4 to 5.0 first, then do the Jb?

kajun · May 1, 2012, 10:40pm

Yes i did for testing purposes but it is not necessary. I actually upgraded to 5.0 then downgraded back to 4.4.4 then JB’d.

I did not JB at 5.0.

If you have your blobs saved for a lower version you can upgrade and then downgrade to the previous version.

congiday408 · May 1, 2012, 11:35pm

Is that untethered JB?
I did normal way on 4.4.4 and 4.3 got error 1600. I hope your guide can help me finish that. I try it tonite. Thank you.

kajun · May 2, 2012, 12:10am

Yes it is untethered

congiday408 · May 2, 2012, 4:26pm

Still get error 1600. So sad.

ormanton · May 2, 2012, 7:54pm

There is a thread for this , it is worth to read. http://forum.firecore.com/topic/4328

congiday408 · May 2, 2012, 8:18pm

Thank you bro. I tried them all but still no luck.

Open up your iFaith blob file with word pad and check your apticket, if it is all zeros = no good

This is what I have:

Flipmode · May 3, 2012, 3:05am

That blob is for a 4.3(8F455) not a 4.4.4

4.3 does not use a apticket.

Were you creating a signed ipsw with 4.3 or 4.4.4?

congiday408 · May 3, 2012, 3:08am

Yes, it is for 4.3. I am doing JB both 4.3 and 4.4.4, but they are getting same error 1600. I tried all methods and using Windows XP. Please help. Thank you.

There is anyway I can go back to 4.3 and 4.4.4 and start from the beginning? How can I do that?

I did couple of ATV2s before and got them all good, but these 2.

Your apticket in the 4.4.4 is NFG, you will always get error 1600

The strange thing is both ECID do not match in either of the blobs, I would say they should be the same for both so I am guessing the 4.3 blob is not from that unit and will give you error 1600 as well.

Use Tinyumbrella and see what ECID it gives you.

Start Tinyumbrella, plug the power in your Apple TV then plug your Apple TV into the computer, then click on the Apple TV once it shows in connected devices and match your ECID to the one in the blob.

TU did not recognize my ATV. How can I do it?
