I jailbroke my ATV2 to the latest firmware using the latest Seas0nPass tool. The jailbreak went fine, I SSH in and installed NitoTV and proceeded to install my usual stuff including XBMC. That all went great.

Problem is after I install the official XBMC and I try to install the latest Nightly build. On the PuTTy screen I am able to download the Nightly and I execute the command to install it and it always gets stuck at the preparing to install step. No error messages, it will not proceed any further from that screen.

After a long while I reboot my ATV2 and on the FrontRow menu where it used to say XBMC it now says "CFBundleName". XBMC still works but at that point I am dead in the water, I can't re-install the official build or uninstall it. My only option at that point is to re-jailbreak. I've done it 3 times now.

The URL's where I get the Nightly's to try are:
http://xbmc.hadm.net/
http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/darwin/atv2/

I've Googled this and searched these forums and haven't ran across anyone having a similar problem.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I can't tell if that is similar to my problem not alot of info or instruction is given.

[emkay]

yes, that is your problem. Read the post at the end of that link and you are good to go...

[johnviz]

Got it, worked like a charm. My next question is do we now have to run "rm –r /Applications/XBMC.frappliance" before each time we upgrade to a new nightly?

[emkay]

Seems so...

I don't know what crashed the rm -rf on that folder. Is it the new firmware itself or the specific jailbreak? We will have to find that out when other options exist. Until then we have to do as I described.
