I have run pwnage jailbreak as i got fed up trying to use Seasonpass as did not want to work on my computer. Pwnage worked first time not sure it's got everything i wanted but it's a start until Grennpoison bring out their version
Ok so you've established that the ATV is not running SSH. I managed to get mine working today so it's possible. It took a couple tries but it eventually took.
Forget about Jailbreak right now, let's get it updated and running fresh and then we'll apply the Jailbreak afterwards.
Unplug everything from your ATV, open iTunes up on your Mac. Plug the ATV into your Mac and hold the Play & Menu button for 7 seconds. After you release, the Apple TV should popup in iTunes and you'll see a Restore button. Click that and accept all the menus, let it download from Apple and install. It will prompt you when it's done.
After that, unhook the USB and plug your HDMI and Power back into the Apple TV. Let it boot up and accept the language. Once the Lowtide dashboard loads, unplug it again.
Let's clear your Cache on your system of any Restore files. Open Finder and go to your home folder, if you have any files called `AppleTV2,1.4.3_8F202_SP_Restore.ipsw` or anything similar to that, delete it. Next go into your Documents folder and see if you have a folder called `Tether`. If you do, inside of it will be something similar to AppleTV2,1.4.3_8F202_Restore.ipsw`. Delete that whole folder and them Empty the Trash.
Download a fresh copy of Seas0nPass, open it on your Mac and hit the Create IPSW. When it's done it will prompt you to plug the ATV in and hold the Play & Menu buttons. Follow the procedure and when done, plug in the ATV and boot it up.
After that's all done, run through the same procedure as before, open Terminal on your Mac and type `ssh root@apple-tv.local`
Thanks for the help but pwnage seems to be working so i am scared to try Seasonpass in case it all goes wrong again after getting my atv back to almost full capacity. My only issues with pwnage at the moment is aTV flash media player won't load and xbmc won't load but Plex works which is the main things i am using. I may attempt it in a few days but after all the hassle i have had i don't fancy it all going wrong and getting stressed all over again !!
I can confirm one of the members comment that after unplugging the atv, it now wouldn't boot. Just the apple logo and then a blank screen. I am now trying to rejailbreak again using seasonpass but I don't think it would work. Let's see.
