I have question. Sorry I am a newbie to jail breaking. I have my atv2 successfully jailbroken with 5.01 untethered. I am unsure as to what will happen when I run the new season pass to update to latest firmware. Will I have to reinstall xbmc and all my other program again or will they all still be there?
You will be starting over.
scp with winscp or cyberduck the following dir to you desktop:
/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC
Upgrade, start over, reinstall everything.
scp back /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC
All of your XBMC repos, configs, etc will be preservered
Its good to putty/ssh into the box and set the permissions again on this directory.
chown -R mobile:mobile /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC
done..
Today I bought apple tv2 with 5.0.1, should I jailbreak 5.0.1 or update and jailbreak 5.0.2. Is there any chance of problems with 5.0.2 jailbreak or later with compatibility with addons which are working fine with 5.0.1?
If you are not losing hours of setup work, then i would upgrade. It doesn’t seem like much changed that would break anything. i.e. kernel version.
Thanks nsfw. You answered my question.
Thanks
