[AppleTV2] ATV2 + 4.2.1 + Windows

vike105 Wrote:I was able to get the firmware on my atv, but when i run the windows tethered tool to boot my device I always fail at the "Waiting two seconds for the device to pop-up" section. Any advice from someone that has it working? Thanks in advance.

what tool are you running? any guides to follow?

this is such a pain in the ass for people with no Macs... i almost bought one today in best buy !!

Mine seemed to have gone well. I flashed it with pwnagetools on a Mac, which said it was successful. I try and boot it up and the screen is just black (I assume thats supposed to happen), so I follow the guides online to tether boot it from windows which gets it to startup all fine and dandy. But it doesnt detect the ethernet cord plugged in, or any wifi's. Which makes it completely useless because I cant SSH in and do anything. Ideas?

Did you make sure the ipsw you built in Pwnagetools had shh checked?!?
As for the ethernet cord plugged in, verify it is a good cord (plug a comp into it and disable wireless and see if it has network access)

I didnt check anything. I think ill try Seas0npass and see if thats any better. And the cord works fine, its the one I use on my Zotac MAG. Plus the wifi is broadcasting, and it seen it before I did all this jailbreak stuff.

You are "restoring" it which means it is loosing all its settings...

Obviously. I said it doesnt see it. Nothing to do with connecting to it at all. The list of SSID's is empty, when my netbook reports at least 5.

Ok, I give up. JJust tried flashing it with Seas0npass and got an error 1601. Ignored it and booted it still no connection. Ahh apple devices... Make them terrible, unless they are jailbroken but make that a severe pain in the ass. Ill never understand why people buy their trash...

I bought an Ipod Classic 80g years ago. Since then I have not even touched an Apple product till last night.. but unfortunately I have to wait till a windows JB can be done. I am not comfortable enough to even contemplate a VM.

Got the VM installed and got the same error 21 that others have reported.

If you are talking about installing XBMC on that classic its not possible. But for other iOS devices, Seas0npass said they should be finished with one in a week or so. Plus I read that greenp0ison has an untethered version for 4.2.1(4.1.1). So give it about a month and everything should be set on Windows.
