Seas0nPass provides an UNTETHERED jailbreak of the 2nd gen Apple TV running the latest 5.0.1 (iOS 5.1.1 - 9B206f) software that was released on May 10th, 2012.
Do I need to reinstall if I have a thethered jailbreak? Unlike other iDevices currently running a tethered jailbreak there isn't an update path available to go from a tethered jailbreak of 5.0.1 (iOS 5.1.1 - 9B206f) to an untethered. You are required to create and reflash IPSW (wiping all data from the Apple TV).
Problem installing applications? Because today is the first day that the jailbreak has been released into the wild the repository servers are likely being slammed like a porn star on set. Give it time and try again later.
Do I just plug in Apple Tv 2 and put it in DFU mode and then run the NEW UNTETHERED seasonpass for 5.0.1 OVER my existing tethered jailbreak by clicking on BOOT TETHERED button?
No, you repeat the jailbreak process with the new SeasonPass going through the stage of creating an ipsw and then doing the restore via iTunes. The difference is that after doing the restore you no longer need the tethered boot stage again so you can safely disconnect power from the ATV2 and it can subsequently boot unaided when power is re-applied.
Since the new jailbreak will wipe everything from your ATV2, you might want to back up your settings first so they can be restored after the new jailbreak. In ATV Flash this is done via the Maintenance->Manage Backups option. After re-doing the jailbreak your apps will still need re-installing, but having done so you can restore your settings for those apps (which includes Media Player metadata).
The same. I wait patiently for the untethered jailbreak for the ATV2, but now that I upgrade, can not install Media Player, XBMC just to install the software of NITO Tv.
I feel frustrated, and not be as a return to the previous version that worked me perfectly the XBMC, which is what most interests me.
Can anyone of you help me?
Thank you.
I am at work so i cannot try but last time i did, i had success with XBMC on 5.0.1. Try to remove xbmc by ssh and re-try what i pasted above… Will update later tonight once i get home…
I download the new Seas0npass and unplugged my ATV without backing it up, now I want to/need to but I don’t have the option of a tethered boot anymore.
What do you need to backup? It is only settings that get backed up. You’re going to spend longer trying to get it to boot up then it would to reset it.
My atv2 is tethered jailbreak 5.0.1/5.1.1. I tried to use latest untethered but end up with error21 at itunes, even I tried to restore stock from itunes but no success. I am able to enter dfu mode with no problem, so still my usb cable can be reason? or something else
