How To Jailbreak Apple TV 2
Extract the “seas0npass.zip” file and run it. Download from here: Mac / Windows
Now click on “Create IPSW” to start
You should now get a message that says:
The current version of the Apple TV software is downloaded and used to create a customized gejailbreakte file.
When prompted that you should connect your Apple TV with the Micro-USB cable, do it (leave power disconnected). Then hold “MENU” and “Play / Pause” for 7 seconds.
iTunes will open automatically and start the restore process.
After the restoration of iTunes is confirmed, you’ve now applied the Apple TV 2 jailbreak.
Tethered Boot
Important: This process is required for each new start of Apple TV 2G!
Open Seas0nPass and click on “Boot Tethered”.
When you are prompted, connect your AppleTV to your computer via USB. After flashing, click on POWER (on the Apple TV). Once both are connected, hold down “MENU “- and” Play / Pause “button for seven seconds.
After the Seas0nPass has confirmed the completion of the process, remove the Micro-USB cable and connect the HDMI cable.
Attention! Timing is important. It is possible for this to not work the first time. If this happen, you just have to try again.
