Solved - Current Seas0nPass 0.9.8 & Atv2 4.4.4

Legacy Seas0nPass
#1

Current Seas0nPass 0.9.8 & Atv2 4.4.4 (iOS 5.0.1 (9A406a))

The jailbreak/restore goes fine using Seas0nPass 0.9.8 on my Mac running Yosemite 10.10.4 (14E46) Itunes 12.5.5

I go thru the initial setup and i see the FC logo in the right corner and everything looks fine until
i go about installing kodi or nito; the install goes without any errors but they don’t appear on the ATV2 menu!

i also noticed that I can’t “killall AppleTV” When I ssh in via Terminal nothing works except for “reboot”.
when atv2 reboots the FC logo disappears and the AppleTV logo shows up. (even if i unplug power cord)!

How do I fix it?

Thank you!

Does anyone have any idea what’s going on here?

#3

what is causing this? is it a jailbreak thing?

Is there any other tool that i can use other than Seasonpass, or any older version compatible with 4.4.4 (iOS 5.0.1 (9A406a)) maybe!

Is it possible to custom restore via itunes, read a lot of comments of people reporting not being able to (lots of errors)?

#4

Why is no one helping?

Where are the mods?

What is going on with the latest seasonpass?

#5

Has anyone tried the latest seasonpass to downgrade to older firmware (in my case 4.4.4), it restores fine but if you install kodi, it won`t show up on the main menu, I also noticed there is no movies and tvshows on the main menu, I only have (internet - computers- settings)

Can the mods or James tell us why is this happening?

I finally restored my 4.4.4 by downgrading itunes on a windows 7 machine…took me forever to figure it out.

Did I mention that i had to use snowbreeze…STAY AWAY from seasonpass if you want to restore 4.x firmware!!!

Hi there,
I have a ATV2 black version didnt use it for a while. 4.4.4 running and jailbreaked.
I know the drill how to jailbreak. Problem is I am not sure how to get “update” to the latest working untethered version and exactly where to find it.
Should the firmware be updated first - and then jailbreaked… ? I see you have som experience with 4.4.4.
My main problem is that I cant stream from ipad/iphone with the latest IOS to the Apple tv anymore… If you have a lead I would be greatfull … thanks

Hi,

you can only upgrade to 5.3 (iOS 6.1.4 - 10B809) - untethered via Seas0nPass.

Thanks.
So could you please let me know then…
Since my ATV2 has 4.4.4 installed - I can only install 5.3 in a tethered version ?

I found this on the site:
Seas0nPass provides an UN-TETHERED jailbreak of the 2nd gen Apple TV running the 5.3 software.
(Mine is not)
A tethered version of 6.2.1 can be installed by right-clicking the ‘Create IPSW’ button.

Or should I just go ahead and install and the un-tethered version will install… ?

Thank again man.

Hi!,

Make sure you have firmware 5.3 (iOS 6.1.4) at hand, put your ATV2 in DFU mode, upgrade using Seas0nPass, and don`t forget to hold “Shift” upon restoring.
