There are two different drivers that need to be installed upon connecting the ATV2 to your computer: iBoot and DFU

In regular iBoot mode, let Windows discover the driver and install the proper software for it.

When in DFU mode, Windows will install a different driver.

I know if you actually click on the system tray prompt, you will actually see if your ATV is in iBoot mode or DFU mode. Kindda a handy feedback IMHO.

So in summary, there are two distinct drivers. Let Windows install the pertinent drivers for them. It should only need to happen once.

If iTunes launches, it will not automatically restore anything. You have to manually allow it to. If you don't want iTunes to autolaunch upon insertion of the ATV2, you need to kill the iTunesHelper.exe process.

It's possible that you may need to install iTunes in order for Windows to have the drivers it needs to see the ATV2.


ok I downloaded the drivers and got my atv2 to boot into dfu mode. I then ran the exploit waiting till it finished and the uplugged the usb and hooked up the hdmi. nothing...

got this in the command terminal (tried it twice)

what am I doing wrongHuh. the light is blinking on the atv and I just get an apple on my screen.

error after updating to latest iTunes on MAC OS X - wmubronco - 2011-02-03

HEy guys, need a bit of help here or help to understand why?!?

After updating iTunes on the MAC OS X, I was prompted to restart the computer.... this is the 2nd time I've tried this... and receive this error;

A virtual CPU has entered the shutdown state. This would have caused a physical machine to restart. This can be caused by an incorrect configuration of the virtual machine, a bug in the operating system or a problem in the VMware Workstation software. Press OK to restart the virtual machine or Cancel to power off the virtual machine.

I'm at a loss right now, and don't know what to do, please help!!!

rflores2323 - that looks correct for a tetheredboot. Hitting the menu button on your remote has no response? Be sure you are not powering off when you pull the microusb cable out after tether. The AC adapter SHOULD be plugged in during tetheredboot. The apple on the screen is what I get if I do a normal reboot.


- rflores2323 - 2011-02-03

ok I am getting really frustrated. I have everything installed and the exploit goes right.. I do notice that I cant get in dfu mode with the power cable connected so I leave that off. after the exploit is finished and goes back to the terminal command I then plugin the ac power and unplug the usb cord. Then i go to hook up my hdmi cord. I just get a blinking light on the atv2. It seems like its still in boot mode or something since the blinking light is still on. shouldnt this be a solid light? or do I have to have the power cord pluged in the whole time?

does itunes have to be running?

anyone live in Houston, TX that can help out.. Ill buy the beer.. lol... My brother also just bought one and he want me to do his.. but I cant even get mine. This was alot easier on my friends mac since it worked on the second try.

Any help PLLLLeeease

See if it will boot up with just the USB plugged in. I was able to plug my HDMI and my Micro at the same time. No modification needed. I booted mine with the power cable out. Then pluged it in and unplugged the USB. (IIRC)


- dantyr - 2011-02-04

No luck..... Cant find network

You may have to restore the device back to factory firmware and repeat everything again. If anything, it's good practice? Smile

Good luck.

To those that are seeing the two successful 100% writes with tetherboot, once you've unplugged USB, and plugged in HDMI, give it 5-6 minutes. It took that long for me both times I've had to tether boot it.

Hope this works for you gents.


- dazex - 2011-02-04

jice73,
5-6 mins sounds excessive. Shouldn't take more than 1min.


- kevron - 2011-02-04

If it booted but didn't have wireless.. try doing just the tethered boot again. People have reported that the tether boot is the issue with that. And you just need to do it again. I had that issue and just re tether booted and it worked fine. If you got it to boot without the wireless, then it is JB'd.


- jice73 - 2011-02-04

Just reporting what worked for me. Twice. Though I didn't sit there & time it, to be honest. Quite sure it was more than 1 minute though.


- dantyr - 2011-02-04

do you have the power cable in all the time
