Seas0npass unable to download firmware install#
We also want to prevent the ATV from automatic updating its software because this will crash XBMC, install ‘updatebegone’ by executing the following command Īfter that we need to reboot the ATV to finish the installations Īfter the reboot of the Apple TV XBMC is added to the menu and you can start exploring the great features of XBMC media center right on your Apple TV. Once connect execute the following commands to install XBMC (because of the stylesheet of my WordPress theme the commands are not optimal displayed, open this textfile so you can copy and past it into your terminal: xbmcinstall) Įcho "deb stable main" > /etc/apt//awkwardtv.listĮcho "deb. The username is root and the password alpine.
Now we need to logon to the ATV using a SSH terminal (for windows:, mac users can use Terminal). You can find this in ‘Settings’, ‘General’, ‘Network’. After the firstrun setup we need to know the ip-address of the ATV. Follow the instructions on your TV to setup the ATV. First connect the ATV to your TV and the network. Now the ATV is jailbroken we can install XBMC on it. ITunes will notify you when the upgrade is complete, also Seas0nPass will display a ready message. Seas0nPass will now start iTunes and perform a scripted restore of the custom firmware onto the ATV. The normal mode probably failed because my laptop’s USB-port gives not enough power, maybe this problem wont occur on a normal desktop system. Then I’ve waited 5 seconds and connected the power cord, after about 20 more seconds I’ve hold the MENU and PLAY/PAUSE buttons on the remote and Seas0nPass detected the device in DFU mode. The first time I tried I failed to get the ATV into DFU mode, I’ve solved this by disconnection the USB cable and reconnect it again. Now it’s time to enter the ATV into DFU mode, in this mode it’s possible to load the modified firmware onto the ATV.

Download it from for Windows (or for mac), extract the archive and run Seas0nPass.

In this post I’ll describe how to jailbreak the ATV and install XBMC.įirst unbox the ATV, as we are expecting of Apple it is packed in a nice little box containing a power cord, remote, user manual and of course the ATV itself. A nice little appliance to play your iTunes content on you tv screen, but still limited to iTunes content…īecause I want to play more media formats (which the Apple TV doesn’t support) from my NAS instead of iTunes I will test a jailbroken Apple TV2 with XBMC. Steve Jobs’ hobby project at Apple was the Apple TV. XBMC is since January 2011 ported to iOS which mean you can install it on your (jailbroken) iPhone or iPad. This computer is getting a bit noisy so I’m looking for an upgrade. I’m running XBMC Media Center ( ) for several years now on my Windows 7 based HTPC.
