Sounds like something gone wrong during your first attempt. Give it another try according to piotr and Nibbsy and let us know if that fixes it for you.
Since you can run PwanageTool. That suggest you are on a Mac. Why not just use Seas0nPass to do everything? That tool works great and makes it very easy. I realize we are in a Windows jailbreaking thread, but I was just curious.

I used Seas0nPass on VM, but after restoring got the eroor message 21 or 1600

Hi Dauren
I used Seas0nPass in a VM as well to create my IPSW. I then powered off the VM and connected the Apple TV in DFU mode with iREB and restored in iTunes. iREB was what made me able to restore the custom firmware. Also I'd recommend unzipping the IPSW to grab iBSS.k66ap.RELEASE.dfu and kernelcache.release.k66 so that you can use the Windows version of tetheredboot.

Ah.. I see. I think I need to explore the process of attempting the Seas0nPass jailbreak from within a VM.
I have a feeling you guys aren't enbling access to the USB device, in this case the ATV, from the VM. Usually, you can toggle who has control, the host or the VM.
I'll have to search for instructions on how to install a VM image of OSX now.
update: My CPU doesn't support virtualization, so I couldn't get a VM OSX running. Let me know if you guys have any pointer.

You'll get this error too if you use a lower version firmware than what is on the ATV.
For example, if your ATV says it's version 4.1.1 hit your center button twice, and it will tell you your iOS version (4.2.1). If you modified iOS 4.1.0 ipsw and try to upload it to the device, it will go through all the motions, and then fail with an error 1601.

Ok, sorry to back track you all, but been at this all night. I used PwnageTool in a VM to create my custom IPSW, and then copied that back to my PC. I run iREB and am able to get my ATV2 into DFU mode (ie, the popup comes up and tells me it was successful.), but the problem is that in iTunes, the Apple TV doesn't show up while in DFU mode? I can plug it in normally and boot it and it shows up in iTunes, but as soon as I try to use iTunes while in DFU mode, there is no AppleTV listed?? I can hear my USB "noise" from windows going off, then on, then off again while doing the iREB process, and if I am watching iTunes, i see it show up and then quickly dissapear as soon as it gets to DFU mode. Am I doing something wrong here?? I *believe* i did a factory restore using iTunes early on in the process when I thought I had it in DFU mode and did a restore without selecting a custom firmware, but from reading this thread that doesn't seem to matter. What should I try?

A couple of things, is the VM off? You'll need to make sure that the VM isn't "grabbing" the device. The DFU mode has a different driver so I'd check in Device Manager to see if anything is listed. It should be listed as an Apple Mobile device.

Do you have both the power cord and usb plugged in? IF so, take out the power cord until you run the command line to tether boot.

OK I have the VM off. The Device Manager shows the normal "Apple Mobile USB Device". I haven't been able to get it into DFU mode again this morning. Trying some more. I do not have the main power plugged in, only the USB cable.
