sometimes appletv does not correctly boot

Legacy Seas0nPass
1

Hi,

I have three apple tvs and all of them show this strange behaviour:

1.) appletvs are jailbroken using latest Seas0nPass ( 4.4.4 untethered ).
2.) ATV Flash Black 1.2 installed
3.) Latest Mediaplayer and Maintenance module
4.) No other plugins

Sometimes ( in the range of 1-2 out of 10 ) the apple tvs do not boot correctly.
It takes a very long time to boot up while blinking (1 minute or so) and the apple logo appears then the screen stays dark after one minute.
The led has stopped blinking and stays on.

What it takes is to remove the power cord for three seconds and reboot again. Then it always works to sucessfully boot in a fraction of the time.

The apple tvs are hooked to different brands of tvs/beamers and surround systems and all of them show this behaviour.

What might be the cause and is there a fix ?

Thanks,
 Alex

I have exactly the same problem (on 3 ATV2’s). I tried contacting support, but they said they did not know anything about the problem :frowning: and told me to send the logs.

Which version of Seas0nPass was used for the jailbreak?

4

the version from 30th december 2011.

There was a bug in the first version of Seas0nPass that was released on 12/30 that was affecting some users. This was resolved rather quickly in an update released a few hours after the original version.

Your best option may be to re-jailbreak with the current version as this should clear up any issues you’re seeing.

Hi James

Thanks for the help. I will rejailbreak using the latest seas0npass and will let you know if this fixes the Boot issues.

Thanks
Alex

I think that this issue still remains in the later version seas0npass. Hope the developer will fix the jailbreak related issue which caused by old version ‘corona’.

This issue is not fixed by the latest Seas0nPass. :(

Is there an update in the works ?

 

Thanks,

Same issue here as of latest version

Similar issue here. ATV2 doesnt start, if it was put to sleep and powered down,. Unplugging the power cord and plugging it back after 5 seconds does the trick, though it is a bit of a hassle.

Do you have any other 3rd party software installed, or are you using any non-standard DNS settings?

12

 

Only PLEX, which was installed via Maintenance menu. DNS settings are standard too, (my ATV2 connects wirelessly to my router (DHCP))

13

has anybody tried the newest seas0npass released on 21st feb ?

14

check the thread above this one…

it was just released and I tired it.

solved all my issues

I have the same problem.

 

  1.  I jailbreak with Seas0nPass 0.8.2

  2. The ATV (black) boots right up correctly.

  3. I load any type of add-on example… XBMC, NITRO, aTV Flash, etc.

  4. Now that I have the add-on loaded it takes 10 mins to boot.

I get the apple first, with the blinking light, then I lose signial with more light flashing, then it finally comes on screen.

This only happens when plugging into power.

Hi 

 

I installed in June 2012 and have the same issue.  It seemed to start over the last month after working well for a couple of months.  Not sure it was the version of season pass as I imagine I downloaded the most recent version but will check.  No 3rd party software or unusual settings that I know about.  Please let me know if anybody finds a solution as rebooting is a bit of a pain.

 

Thanks

I still to this day experience the odd occasion of a reboot not booting correctly. I will try and review some logs over the next few days and see if there is a point I can detect.
