That's what I was thinking. At some point it will have to get on my network to add XBMC through ssh, right?

Any advice so it won't auto-update then and wipe the jailbreak?

It won't autoupdate, it will ask first. Just say no.

Great. Thanks!

I just went through this, I got my first ATV2 delivered yesterday and had the same concerns, but all worked without too much trouble. First thing I did was backup the shsh with tiny umbrella, I had some issues because it didn't see my atv and I had to do it manually, but after I got those saved I was relieved. After that I ran greenpoisOn, actually had to run it twice because it didn't take the first time, then installed Cydia from gp, then xbmc from within Cydia. I was never prompted to update at all. I hope yours goes well and hope my experience can put you at ease.

Thanks for that, I still have more setting up to do, I just wanted to save the shsh ASAP and figured I might as well run greenpoisOn at same time. My ATV was delivered early yesterday, but I had no power all day long so it was the middle of the night when I was doing it, so I only did the basics.

Editing my own post to avoid spreading bad info. Thanks for correcting me.

sandmanCL: what

you don't have to flash anything to the apppltv2 to save the shsh blobs.

also once tiny umbrelle saves your device then you can get new version blobs without using the device at all.

Hmm, i had apple updates off, but I got options if I wanted to update. I pushed no of course and then nothing more. I then started to mix around with settings for add on, so xbmc crashed and the screen got black! After that no more life in atv. I pulled out the powercord and the white apple approached. Well nothing more than that, I tried a couple of times, nothing more than an apple.

I then checked tinyumbrella, my atv had been updated! Funny thing is I had saved shsh from both iPad and iPhone, but forgot for Atv that was most important. Im going to kill myself now.

No janus your thread didnt helped, itunes gives me error msg, have tried twice now. Itunes writes over the ip adress with apples own. The ip adress I have typed in gets a # in front so hosts fil wont recognize the line and takes apples ip adress instead.
