For the brave at heart, a beta version of Seas0nPass (for Mac) that supports a tethered jailbreak of the latest 5.2.1 software can be found at the link below.

Note: Since this is a tethered version we don’t recommended current users update from 5.2 or earlier versions, but this will allow new users to get up and running.
Release versions for both Mac and PC should be available in the coming week.
Update: Link updated with new beta that defaults to 5.2.1 and fixes missing FC logo (jailbreak indicator).
Unfortunately, I can’t get this to work. After jailbreaking (right-clicking to specify 5.2.1) and tethered-booting (again, right-clicking to choose 5.2.1), the ATV starts but does not appear to be jailbroken at all. Anything I can do to debug?
That’s what I do. I get the flashing light. I know enough NOT to unplug the power. The Light Never stops blinking. Only way I can get it to stop is to click the “Boot Tethered” but when I plug the ATV2 in it does’t seem to be jail broken. I get no FC icon or anything like that on the screen.
Yeah, I did that… Plugged in USB + power, did tethered boot, waited until Seas0nPass said “Tethered boot complete!”, unplugged USB, plugged in HDMI, and then no FC logo on the Settings icon.
I have two apple tv’s version 2 and am unable to jailbreak either one. One is running 4.2.1 and the other 5.2.1. When trying to jailbreak message pops up and says something about “device not eligible for requested build” what gives?
For your information you will not see the fs red button on the screen! Just install atv after tethered boot and done! This jailbreak works just fine!! Seasonpass it then tethered boot and then atv! I have installed xbmc and it works just fine!
