A lot of these iOS repos are having issues even on my iPhone with stuff unrelated to XBMC. An untethered jailbreak for iOS 5 came out, so my guess is these servers are being hit with more than normal traffic. If you keep trying then things will go through.

I've merged several threads with the same issue.

read above and try again.

Try:

Code:

apt-get install org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2

Then try upgrading again

Try:

Code:

apt-get install org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2

Then try upgrading again

what does that do?

[koops]

Thanks will try later and post back my results

I've merged several threads with the same issue.

I wish you hadn't. Several replies don't make sense anymore.

OK here's the executive summary people:

1. Follow the wiki instructions, do NOT install nitotv, and you should be fine.
2. If you've already screwed up, you'll have to re-jailbreak to get it to work.
3. When you get apt-get update, you might get an error with modmyi. Ignore it, it's not necessary for XBMC.

I wasted so many hours of my life figuring that out...

Im totally confused now not sure whos answering what to whom. Yo reiterate I get the following error after running apt-get install org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2:

E: The package cydia needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it

Does ANYONE know if this is resolvable

Thanks

David

@bluefoot: what if nitotv is already installed?

[bfly]

I think there is still an issue with one of the other packages. After a clean install following the Cydia instructions, things work fine until you run an apt-get upgrade. These packages get upgraded:

beigelist
bsdiff
com.nito.updatebegone
gawk
org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2
org.xbmc.xbmc-seatbeltunlock

After the upgrade and a reboot XBMC disappears from the menu. Even after an uninstall and reinstall of XBMC it is still is missing from the menu.

Ok so I got the update to run over ssh using the two commands from the bottom portion of the wiki page and now I went to my apple tv and it was sitting at a blank screen. I rebooted it and it came up wit the apple logo and ten went black and just seems to keep rebooting itself every 30 seconds or so.

What's up wit that?? How do I fix that??

[albertmartel]

Is anyone here getting a message saying cannot authenticate for the eden update? i've tried through terminal & as well nito tv.
thanks

Sorry.. forget this post. I figured it out,

try another terminal program... if you on winodws and using putty try tunneler if on mac try clearing your keychain..

[joshmoulton]

So, it's happened on two different ATV2 so far.. Jailbreak w/ 4.3 Seas0npass. SSH into device, follow instructions on Wiki, by default I always install NitoTV as well for other options, but I'm wondering if that's what's causing the issue or Eden? Basically after I get it all installed and reboot the device, it'll have the Apple splash screen, then it will just stay black. Never get the iTunes menu or anything.. Plug it into computer, TinyUmbrella says it's in recovery, try to exit recovery and it won't. Just sits in recovery, can't get it into DFU mode without kicking it out of recovery so I can restore it back with 4.3 - Anyone else?

In an earlier post, I mentioned uninstalling and reinstalling xbmc through nitoTV. I did the eden install on another one today and I didn't have to uninstall first but I did need to update nitoTV first.

First and foremost, update nitoTV via nitoTV's update option in its Settings. It takes about 5 minutes (be patient) and it'll reboot back to the ATV2 main screen when the update is completed.

Go back into nitoTV and simply install xbmc.

When you select xbmc to be installed, it still shows v10.x.x on the left side, don't worry about it. When you do the install, you'll see the 11.0.1-b1 version. It does take awhile, about 10min for me.

After the install is completed, the ATV2 automatically reboot and takes you back to the ATV2 main screen. Eden is now installed.

I believe my ATV2s are on firmware 4.3.3 and was jb'ed with Seasonpass.

this is exactly what I have since yesterday - I guess I'll just do a fresh install, glad I'm using mySQL with shared thumbs!

Alright, so there seems to be something just flat out breaking when we try to just update/upgrade all packages. I've updated the Wiki instructions to just say

Code:

apt-get update

apt-get install org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2

Which should upgrade only XBMC. ("apt-get update" won't install anything. That just updates the package list, which is what tells the ATV2 where to "get things", for a lack of better words)
