You NEED to do this on the the mac it's in the walkthrough "3. Run the following commands (this will fail if you didn’t move this folder to the desktop, PwnageTool almost MUST be in your /Applications folder) cp -r ~/Desktop/tethered/AppleTV2,1_4.2.1_8C154.bundle /Applications/PwnageTool.app/Contents/Resources/FirmwareBundles/ cp ~/Desktop/tethered/Info.plist /Applications/PwnageTool.app/Contents/Resources/CustomPackages/CydiaInstallerATV.bundle/Info.plist 4. Run PwnageTool on the 4.2.1 ipsw (if you don’t know how to do this, again you REALLY shouldn’t be here) saving into the ~/Desktop/tethered folder with the default name PwnageTool gives it (AppleTV2,1_4.2.1_8C154_Custom_Restore.ipsw 5. Back in the terminal run the following: unzip -j ~/Desktop/tethered/AppleTV2,1_4.2.1_8C154_Custom_Restore.ipsw Firmware/dfu/iBSS.k66ap.RELEASE.dfu kernelcache.release.k66 -d ~/Desktop/tethered/" Also if you used Seas0npass the cfw is in the downloads folder i beleive and you can just rename it to AppleTV2,1_4.2.1_8C154_Custom_Restore.ipsw - Rodimus80 - 2011-01-23 Okay, I'm SSH now but getting the follow error: The following packages have unmet dependencies: org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2: Depends: org.awkwardtv.whitelist but is not installable E: Broken packages Any suggestions? - brownbear1984 - 2011-01-23 Rodimus80 Wrote:Okay, I'm SSH now but getting the follow error: do this before installing xbmc apt-get install wget wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16129573/com.nito.deb dpkg -i com.nito.deb apt-get update apt-get install com.nito.nitotv killall Lowtide - Rodimus80 - 2011-01-23 I got it all working now. THANK YOU!!! - brownbear1984 - 2011-01-23 Rodimus80 Wrote:I got it all working now. THANK YOU!!! No worries buddy glad it worked for someone else and not just me - CASHMON3Y - 2011-01-23 I still have no luck with networking. I tried restoring the apple TV in iTunes, but I just get error 6004. I tried it on 2 seperate computers, one PC and a Mac. I think im just going to take it back to Microcenter and exchange it tomorrow. - Rodimus80 - 2011-01-23 My kids are going to flip when they find out they have XBMC in their room now. - brownbear1984 - 2011-01-23 CASHMON3Y Wrote:I still have no luck with networking.

Did u run ireb before restoring your cfw? - CASHMON3Y - 2011-01-23 brownbear1984 Wrote:Did u run ireb before restoring your cfw?Yup, the second time around. No dice with that either. I have no idea whats wrong - Numus - 2011-01-23 brownbear1984 Wrote:Hi all i've successfully flashed my ATV2 in windows. It took a while but finally got my head round it. Here's what i did: It appears you cant have hte power plugged in at all during this process.. or else it doesn't really enter DFU iwht the IREB program and itunes will loop... trying it once again wiht a modified procedure. CAN 100% confirm all this works - Rodimus80 - 2011-01-23 Does anyone know how to change the time on XBMC or the ATV2? - CASHMON3Y - 2011-01-23 Numus Wrote:It appears you cant have hte power plugged in at all during this process.. or else it doesn't really enter DFU iwht the IREB program and itunes will loop... trying it once again wiht a modified procedure.When can it be plugged in? Maybe you can alter the tutorial to what did work for you. I know alot of us would appreciate it, seeing as the success rate for Windows doesnt seem to high... - Numus - 2011-01-23 CASHMON3Y Wrote:When can it be plugged in? Maybe you can alter the tutorial to what did work for you. I know alot of us would appreciate it, seeing as the success rate for Windows doesnt seem to high... Ok... Never plug into power until after itunes... Connect the usb micro cable to the PC... then start IREB... Select Apple TV and once it starts to countdown immediately hold Menu + Down for 6-7 seconds until it reboots, then immediately hold Menu + Play/Pause... If you do it correct IREB should successfully implement the DFU mode + patch ... I REPEAT ... Simply ignore all the instructions... you HAVE TO reboot then DFU.. the instructions just tell you to just DFU but it wont work.. If it is sucessful it will tell you.. then simple go into itunes, do the left shift + click restore and select "AppleTV2,1_4.2.1_8C154_Custom_Restore.ipsw", it should be all good after that.. As for getting the file AppleTV2,1_4.2.1_8C154_Custom_Restore.ipsw There are 3 ways to get it 1) Beg someone with a Mac OS X or VMWARE OS X to generate the file for you and send it to you 2) Get a Mac or the method i used 3) Build your own Mac OS X via VMWARE and build the ipsw file yourself. If you have an intel processor it is easy, if you have an AMD processor (like myself) i just downloaded a premade vmware image and am using that... it is easier then patching it myself... Tell me if these steps work for you - Swwethip1 - 2011-01-23 Numus - so it should be the following: 1. Connect the usb micro cable to the PC... 2. Then start IREB 3. Select Apple TV 4. Once it starts to countdown immediately hold Menu + Down for 6-7 seconds until it reboots, 5. Then immediately hold Menu + Play/Pause (If you do it correct IREB should successfully implement the DFU mode + patch-If it is successful it will tell you) 6. Then simple go into iTunes, do the left shift + click restore and select "AppleTV2,1_4.2.1_8C154_Custom_Restore.ipsw", it should be all good after that.. 7. Open CMD and run the below: CD desktop/tethered then tetheredboot -i iBSS.k66ap.RELEASE.dfu -k kernelcache.release.k66 - Numus - 2011-01-23 Swwethip1 Wrote:Numus -5) you hold it down for 6-7 seconds (or until the light blinds really fast)... do not keep it held down after that Also you should not have the power cable connected to the apple tv at all until you get to the tether portion... |
