Has anyone managed to get this to work under Win 7 64 bit? I can get it into DFU mode, GreenPois0n's progress bar gets all the way to 100%, then a few seconds later (typically when I move the mouse), I get Jailbreak Failed Sad

Cheers.

Just jailbreaked my ATV2 on Win7 64-bit. Worked fine, make sure only the microUSB cable is plugged in during the jb process.

Try a different USB port. I got failed twice, then switched ports and all was gravy. I had everything plugged in the whole time. HDMI, USB, and Power.

Just finished up jailbreaking right over my seas0npass no problem. Upon completion I unplugged everything plugged it back in and my ATV started right back up from where i left it. Only difference is the obvious un-tethered boot Big Grin, Opened up XBMC played a movie no problems. Im connected Via lan cable to SMB shares, Audio out via optical.

*** I do confirm I do not have the greenpois0n Menu but i do have SSH personally I don't need anything else because I bought the ATV2 for one reason and thats XBMC

Did you re-install xbmc or was it still there from before?

It was still there, all of my settings were there netflix login, apple login, and my custom remote! I made a back-up first of course but was very pleased to not need it. Nod

My ATV2 was previously unbroken (tethered or untethered). I used GP RC6 to jailbreak it (at least GP completed everything normally).

If I understand instructions correctly, I should now be able to SSH in, but for whatever reason I cannot. Is there anyway to tell if my ATV2 is in fact jailbroke?

Assuming it is jailbroke, will running GP RC6 again damage anything?

Running again won't break anything...

Read the instructions in this link, pay attention to the "do not unplug for at least 40 seconds part" it is very important.
