I just bought an apple tv 2 from a well known online auction site. I was assured by the seller it was on iOS 4.2.
When I try to download the blobs using ifaith I get the error “Unknown ios detected on this device! aborting…” at the point on the progress menu on the left “Detect iOS” so cant get any further in the jailbreak process.
I ran tinyumbrella which states “Installed Firmware Version 4.3 (4.2)” so its not updated yet to ios5 which seems to be the usual reason to get this message.
any thoughts why ifaith isnt working ??
Im an apple tv newbie so maybe its not jailbreakable anyway but thought if it was not iOS 5 it would be ok ?
Try to run Seasonpass , right click on ‘‘create IPSW’’ and choose your firmware. Maybe it was jailbroken and restored back , if it is not new. SHSH blobs could be saved by previous owner.
I have same problem. ATV2 has unknown ios detected on iso 4.2 (2060) when using iFaith to save Blobs. Anything we can do? I want to jb my ATV untethered. Please help.
Thank you so much Flipmode. I successful got blobs save but with 4.3 (8F455), original one is 4.2 (2060). I built the ispw and finally did restore by using itunes. Sadly, I got error 1600 and 1601 everytime I tried (at least 10 times). I used 3 computers. I changed 3 different hdmi cables. Disable all virus protections. But not get restore done. Any ideas? Thank you and lot of appreciate your help.
