Earlier this week, the team behind Seas0nPass updated their jailbreak to allow for an untethered (bootable without being connected to USB) jailbreak. This is great news for all of your who are running the current software or want the latest and greatest.
Currently supported on 4.4.4 software are the following:
- Couch Surfer
- Last.fm
- Media Player
- NitoTV
- Overflow
- Remote HD
- Rowmote
- RSS Feeds
- Weather
- XBMC
- Plex (0.9.0 beta versions only)
Jailbreak Apple TV:
First you will need to do the following:
- Get the latest version of iTunes.
- Downlaod the latest version of Seas0nPass (use links above).
- Get a micro USB cable.
- Disconnect any iPods, iPhones, and iPads from your computer.
Next:
- Extract the Seas0nPass zip file.
- Launch the App and hit “Create IPSW”
- It will then download the necessary software and create the Jailbroken file for you.
- Once prompted to connect your AppleTV, do so via the Micro USB cable and leave power disconnected.
- Once the light on the AppleTV begins to flash repeatedly, point the remote at the AppleTV and hold both the MENU and PLAY/PAUSE buttons for approximately 7 seven seconds. (Note: This will require the silver (aluminum) AppleTV remote that was included with the AppleTV2. The white (plastic) remotes wont work.)
- After you do this, iTunes will open and the restore process will begin. Once this is completed, you are jailbroken and good to go!
I did everything according to your instructions to jailbreak ATV 4.44 and the steps worked exactly as you describe, yet when I plug my ATV into my TV it’s not jailbroken, it just as if I set it back to factory default. Is there another step possibly left out that you might assume I should have done, but fail to do. Thanks Regards Darrell
Your instructions worked correctly and flawlessly every time I tried it. I originally had my ATV jail-broken but decided to upgrade to the latest firmware 4.44 and doing so the process erased all my previous directories, therefore I thought my ATV did NOT correctly finish the jail-break. I would add a step, 7. If you see the FC logo on the bottom right of the screen, you did a successful Jailbreak.
