New ATV jailbroken owner. add on errors. script errors. nito tv error.

Legacy Seas0nPass

hey everyone.
I hope this is in the right place, this is my first time posting.
I recently got a ATV 2 jailbroken 4.4 from ebay. I’ve had problems since i got it a few days ago and i can get a return on it if i want, but i said ill try ask a few questions before i bother with that.
I think who i got it from pretty much only used it for streaming from his computer to his tv with it.
anyyywhoooooo, the problem.
i cant get anythingto work haha
it says it has NITOtv and XBMC on it but everytime i click on the install on NITOtv it seems to just just flash green and restart the apple tv and back to square one like i did nothing.
When i go into XBMC and click on any movie on there it says the file does not exist anymore and asks if i would like to remove it. i try to add a addon i get “error script; file name here” or something like that. i tried adding the fusion source and adding things like 1channel but i still get the exact same failing.

i hope thats enough describing of whats going on, and theres an easy fix.

thanks in advance to anyone that takes out time to help!

Are you sure this is running version 4.4?  That’s very uncommon and would mean its a tethered jailbreak.  Likely you mean version 4.4.4? 

Regardless, before trying anything else you should download the lastest version of iFaith to see what saved blobs are available.  Its not that difficult to rejailbreak it yourself if you can’t get it to work.  Just don’t update the software.

yeah i ment 4.4.4 sorry.

 

so ive ended up getting really frustrated before i could get a reply (been asking another forum for days) and l tried to rejailbreak it but i still had the same problems on xbmc and what not. i just installed ifaith with a few handy viruses. ill check it now. the fact i cant even get it to turn on now it pretty shit.

 

cheers for taking the time to help

No problem.  Once you’ve got iFaith running, click on “Show available SHSH Caches on Server” and then “Show list of available SHSH blobs on TSS servers” and let us know what they are.

i hope is right.

Next is to “Dump SHSH Blobs”  

Save these to your desktop.

doing now

10

alright done.

11

I would make sure the file size for your 4.3 blob is 7 to 8 Kb. 

I don’t see that you have 4.4.4 available but you can jailbreak untethered with 4.3

Have you used seasonpass to jailbreak with before?

 

12

Two of those seem to correspond to the 4.2.2 and 5.3 firmware (see Apple TV Version Info (updated 10/23/15) - Seas0nPass - Firecore).

The most recent ones seem to correspond to the betas of the 5.4 firmware that is only available to registered developers.

13

 

its 6kb

it said 4.4 in the about when plugged into a tv, so thats where i got that from orgianlly

ah yeah i did it before with it. can i do it so i get a clean wipe now i have that blob?

i currently got seas0npass Version 0.9.3.13065 on this computer and thats what i used before. is it a tethered jailbreak now then?

14

Yes, you can always return to a clean untethered jailbreak using your saved 4.3 blob now.

Be sure to right click and select version 4.3 8F305 on seasonpass. 

Might want to try plugging the ATV in one last time to be sure it doesn’t work?

15

 

i tried again and still nothing. do i have to restore it to clean it or can i just run jailbreak?
is nitotv ad xbmc easy to reinstall?

 

feels good to be finally getting somewhere. haha

 

cheers again.

16

I would just try jailbreaking it in its current state.  If it doesn’t work you can always update it to 5.3 and then downgrade/jailbreak to 4.3   To be honest, I’ve never performed a jailbreak on 4.XX versions before.  I’ve never had a problem installing Nito and xbmc on 5.XX versions though.  I use a windows installer for them also.

17

ok ill try current state now cheers.

 

could i possibly grab a link to nito and xbmc?

if i have to wipe it do i do it through itunes then jailbreak like normal?

 

thanks

shizee

Yes, if the jailbreak doesn’t work in its current state then you will have no choice but to update it normally in itunes which is currently version 5.3.

I will search for a link for nito/xbmc installer.

19

Here’s the link.  You need to select your apple Tv first, then install nito, then xbmc.
