Greenp0ison JB ATV2 not working after tethered JB

If this is really what you are doing, then this is your problem. After running the jailbreak you are supposed to connect power first, then remove USB and plug in HDMI. Ie, the ATV should not lose power at all during this process as it's not yet untethered.

thanks for all the replies,

Yes, the laptop I am using is connected to the net. The atv is also connected via hardwire. I did do a restore with the latest ispw. I even used a fresh laptop that didn't have iTunes installed previously and let it download a new one from apple.

I have let the unit sit pas the 45 seconds after the JB but I think the longest was like a minute thirty. I'll try letting it go longer.

Gonna give this another go round today, but thanks for all the responses.

Did you see my post about the order of powering off just before your post?

DING DING!!! We have a winner!

AaronD's suggestion about not removing the usb until power was inserted was the trick.

Just a couple of points to add:

After I restored to factory, I went in and setup the wifi. When the time came to JB I was already and wifi and it downloaded the necessary files that way.

Huge thanks to all (especially Tosh and AaronD). My wife will now be happy!

I hope this helps someone else out there avoid some headaches.
