I just got an appletv 40gb with firmware 1.0. I already hacked it with patchstick with firmware 2.4. But when appletv reboots, i dont see a software menu. It goes straight to the default apple tv menu. I was wondering if the firmware for apple tv needs to be upgraded 2.4 before i can hack it or not. And is there way to manually upgrade apple tv to 2.4, the automatic ways seem to upgrade to 3.0 which i dont want to do.

Okay i manually upgraded to 2.4 via osupdate through ssh. I tried the patchstick again, it seems to give me some sort of errors but cant really tell. So downloading the firmware again and going to give it one more try.

I figured it out. The problem was creating the patchstick using the usb image program. I was running it in volume mode, but was suppose to run it in device mode. Finally after a few hours of messing around i successfully hacked the appletv. Now to enjoy xbmc.
