It was the newest release, 4.3 (2222) I think it said? I couldn't find anything about the 8F*** coding. But Vimeo was in the menu and working before jb, and now it's gone and replaced with a fully functional xbmc. Also, I didn't have to download any ipsw's or anything. I literally updated iTunes to the latest, connected the ATV2 via micro USB, ran Seas0npass, pushed buttons for DFU mode, clicked yes to auto restore in itunes, and when all that was done hooked it up to the tv, put in english and the network and everything was jelly after that. Big relief on my end!

Maybe Apple is still signing the previous firmware and that is why it is allowing you to put the older JB'n firmware on the ATV? Not sure just a thought...

Is there any point in tinyumbrella if you've already jailbroke the device?

Yes - TinyUmbrella saves the SHSH Blobs for the version of software (IOS) you are running. If you have these saved and accidentally upgrade to a newer IOS version that does not allow it to be jailbroken or causes XBMC to malfunction for example, this allows you to go back to the version you are at which you saved the SHSH blobs which is jailbreakable or runs XBMC.
*Think keys to go back in time.
