restore problem after update

Legacy Seas0nPass
#1

hi

i’ve got an ATV2 with the latest firmware 5.3, when i run season pass I get this message:

“the apple tv cannot be restored at this time because the Apple TV software update server cannot be contacted”

I thought Season pass would roll back my firmware? Ive tried looking up the host file and others options but nothing has worked, the host file just says this:

Host Database

localhost is used to configure the loopback interface

when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.

127.0.0.1    localhost
255.255.255.255    broadcasthost
::1             localhost
fe80::1%lo0    localhost

Please help i’m at the point where i don’t care if it tethered or not i just want it to work.

Do you have blobs saved from a previous version of firmware?  

#3

no unfortunately not, didn’t know anything about blobs.

Then your only option at this time is to try the tethered jailbreak on version 4.4.2 using the following link. http://forum.firecore.com/topic/10197
