@ionic copper

ionic copper
#

okay so you got the command right

sleek moss
#

There we go

#

Let's gooo

#

This is the amd laptop

ionic copper
#

okay

sleek moss
#

What's next @ionic copper

ionic copper
#

you just hit start

sleek moss
#

It won't let me

#

It's flashing

#

Apple tv flashing @ionic copper

ionic copper
sleek moss
#

Fast

#

It was already in dfu mode

ionic copper
#

take it out of dfu

sleek moss
#

Iimm disconnect and reconnect

#

@ionic copper

#

Start is greyed out

ionic copper
#

what did you disconnect?

sleek moss
#

It doesnt say connected at all

ionic copper
#

you said "Iimm disconnect and reconnect"

#

WHAT did you disconnect/reconnect?

sleek moss
#

Nevermind we good

ionic copper
#

🙄

sleek moss
#

Entering recovery mode

#

If it don't work on this Imma try the laptop

#

It's taking super long for the recovery mode

#

Still is

#

@ionic copper

#

Is that normal?

ionic copper
#

recovery mode takes a few seconds

#

if you experience issues, unplug the usb and replug

#

if still nothing, redo the process

sleek moss
#

Is still loading

ionic copper
#

but i can guarantee that this whole thing will be pointless since you're on AMD

sleek moss
#

Ok

#

I shut down the amd

#

Here is the intel one

#

@ionic copper

ionic copper
#

ok?

sleek moss
#

Lenovo thinkpad

#

Ubuntu is on the usb

#

So it should be working

#

Issue might be here @ionic copper

#

To why it won't boot ubuntu

ionic copper
#

you can switch to legacy booting

sleek moss
#

I had to switch the usb to the main one

#

We got to redo everything again

#

@ionic copper

ionic copper
#

okay, just do it again then

sleek moss
#

Nothing

#

@ionic copper

#

There was so much idk which one works or not

ionic copper
#

the one that works is the link i sent you

sleek moss
#

The yt video

#

@ionic copper

ionic copper
#

no.. the palera1n link

sleek moss
#

Yeah I did that already

#

X86 64

#

@ionic copper

ionic copper
ionic copper

Is it still signed

ionic copper
uneven wraith
sleek moss
#

I think that's a save file of it

#

But I had 2 apple TVs so I might be wrong @ionic copper

#

what do i do next help

uneven wraith
#

that's 13.4.8

#

put your ATV in dfu, then hold Shift and click restore in itunes

#

select 13.4.8 ipsw

sleek moss
#

is it still jailbreakable @uneven wraith

uneven wraith
#

yes

sleek moss
#

what about 17.4

#

@uneven wraith

uneven wraith
#

idk

#

please stop pinging me

sleek moss
#

@ionic copper is 17.4 jailbreakable or not

jaunty rune
# sleek moss

What is the literal first thing it says to do there. Please tell us youve done that

sleek moss
sleek moss
#

this is driving me crazy

jaunty rune
#

Ok wth. My 4k is tripping.. or my tv is. Seems like every time hdr content tries to play it starts flickering and popping then just going to static snow and staying there. I have hdr off and match content. Any help?

#

Yah turned off hdr on my tv seems to have stopped it. Any setting on the atv to get hdr working and not doing that?

#

False alarm still going to static

#

But switching inputs back and forth fixes it… for a second

jaunty rune
#

Might just be the damn hdmi cable

distant fox
sleek moss
#

Whenever I connect it to the computer it palrain doesn't recognise it like it still says connect your iPhone / Apple TV @ionic copper

sleek moss
#

@ionic copper

#

Or anyone pls

#

How is 17.3 jailbreakable

ionic copper
sleek moss
#

I did

sleek moss
ionic copper
sleek moss
#

It's greyed out

#

@ionic copper

#

X86_64

ionic copper
#

You didn't click it

sleek moss
#

@ionic copper

ionic copper
#

Make sure not to use the gui, press control c

#

Then it's just /home/palera1n -cf

sleek moss
#

Ok

sleek moss
ionic copper
#

That command works just fine @sleek moss

sleek moss
#

No it pop-up again just can't start

#

@ionic copper

#

It says 15.0 to 17.3.1

ionic copper
#

Give me a sec

sleek moss
#

Ok

ionic copper
#

If you have blobs

sleek moss
#

I don't

sleek moss
ionic copper
sleek moss
#

I can't anymore

#

Had to Give the laptop back

ionic copper
#

nitoTV works on 17.3, should also on 17.4

odd stone
ionic copper
#

going to tidy it up a bit...

odd stone
#

every time I tried it crashes

#

and yes i resigned it

#

because some NSArray issue

#

it also tries to install elucubratus repo which is not the greatest idea in this case

#

the tui is kinda broken

#

don't use it for now

ionic copper
odd stone
#

right

#

very broken for tvOS and kinda broken in general

ionic copper
#

although, --cli is confusing, should've just left it at -c

odd stone
#

-c is another option already

#

so that doesn't work

odd stone
ionic copper
#

but it's not applicable for tvos

odd stone
#

it's not confusing as long as someone is not aware of the other tool

astral grove
#

Is “- f - - cli” the wrong command? Was about to update to 17.4 and use DXs tutorial.

sleek moss
#

@ionic copper

#

I'm back bro

ionic copper
sleek moss
#

Menu and play/ pause

#

Fast flashing

#

But nothing changed

#

@ionic copper

ionic copper
#

Release

#

If USB is connected, palera1n will see and things will happen

#

If not, try another usb port

sleek moss
#

I might disconnect and reconnect

ionic copper
#

You can always kick out of DFU, or power cycle

sleek moss
#

How do I do that?

#

Unplug and plug but still nothing

jaunty rune
#

Does the atv light stay fast blinking and the tv screen go dark when you let go of play and menu

#

Or does nothing happen once it starts blinking and you let go

sleek moss
#

@ionic copper

jaunty rune
#

Im asking you

ionic copper
#

Release

sleek moss
#

Yeah it's blinking fast

ionic copper
#

Then palera1n should pick it up

#

If not, it's a USB issue

#

May want to install libusb too

#

sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev

sleek moss
#

It identified it before

jaunty rune
#

Are you using the official remote

sleek moss
#

Yeah

#

It's flashing

#

Fast

jaunty rune
#

What happens when u let go

sleek moss
#

Held it for 7 sec l

#

Got faster blinking

#

But nothing

jaunty rune
#

Again….What happens when u let go

sleek moss
#

@ionic copper

jaunty rune
#

Can you answer that orrrrr

sleek moss
#

It keeps blinking and it stopped

#

Like it went back to the original blinking

jaunty rune
#

Bro video of you doing it

sleek moss
#

Let me plug the hdmi

ionic copper
#

I did find that Linux with palera1n just didn't work

#

So I used my hackintosh

sleek moss
ionic copper
sleek moss
#

I need to have a mac

#

I can't do that

ionic copper
#

You can run a hackintosh on that laptop

#

It's not easy though

sleek moss
#

After all this

#

Imma restore the apple tv

#

@ionic copper @jaunty rune

#

Nothing working

ionic copper
#

Restoring will do nothing but downgrade

#

Or.. Wipe

sleek moss
#

Is still flashing

#

What can I do

sleek moss
ionic copper
#

It's not the apple tv, it's just palera1n not recognizing it

#

Still WIP

jaunty rune
#

@sleek moss Wait so it doesnt turn on regularly?

sleek moss
#

Nothing shows up on the screen

#

It's still flashing

#

As originally

#

Palera1n is still waiting

#

How can I get it out that mode

jaunty rune
#

Im talking without palera1n. Does the apple tv work normally?

sleek moss
#

Because of the flashing no

#

Plugged in the hdmi

#

Nothing

jaunty rune
#

Unplug the apple tv and plug it back in and it still flashes?

#

Unplug from power i mean

sleek moss
#

This is what shows up after unplugging

#

Plug it to palrain

#

Nothing still

#

@ionic copper

#

I'm on 17.4

#

@jaunty rune

#

What do I do

jaunty rune
#

Take the pc out of the equation. When u unplug the apple tv from power and plug it back in. Without you touching the remote it shows that screen?

sleek moss
#

Yeah

#

It still flashing

#

I can side load using

ionic copper
sleek moss
#

U

#

S

#

What after 13.4.8

#

Then update it to 17.4

#

@ionic copper

#

Or don't

ionic copper
astral grove
ionic copper
#

I would need to doctor it up

astral grove
# ionic copper I would need to doctor it up

Ok…bummer. Alright, I’m going to move on and update my 4K and try Palera1n. With that said, is there a way to downgrade a 4K to 13.4.8 with goldeneye/dcsd cable? I haven’t seen a ipsw for 4Ks.

ionic copper
#

Updating the 4K isn't worth it imho

astral grove
astral grove
#

My bad…yes 13.4.5.

jaunty rune
#

What tweaks are even working on 17?

brazen rapids
#

oi

#

i’m on 17.1 just bought 3rd gen apple tv 4k, can someone quickly fill me in on what’s possible and what’s not on it? thanks in advanced

ionic copper
#

Especially not your videopace

ionic copper
brazen rapids
#

would you have a good resource of tvOS .ipa files?

ionic copper
brazen rapids
#

which would you say is best, I've only used Altserver/Altstore for iOS

ionic copper
brazen rapids
ionic copper
#

Issue with kodi, people pirate

brazen rapids
#

i have a NAS, not looking for apps, just a library of known working ipa files, as well as things to test, since I'm attempting to modify an application to run on tvOS, and just need a known way to sideload onto it

#

its 3rd gen so no USB-C, i've had to pair it of course, as im sure you know kwk

astral grove
ionic copper
#

It was a direct slap to us to stop downgrading

#

Then came removing the usb port altogether

astral grove
ionic copper
#

After that, adding SEP to the newer HD models

#

I do love how Apple likes to claim it's for security.. But there's not much security for a tv box with zero user data

astral grove
ionic copper
brazen rapids
#

kwk

#

ye

ionic copper
#

In order to transition the files

astral grove
uneven wraith
uneven wraith
#

or they just decided to stop using all forms of social media abruptly

jaunty rune
marsh rune
#

Oi does someone know why I’m not getting gigabit speeds with my 4k first gen? I’ve tried several cables (cat 5e and up) and speedtest maxes at a 100mbps

astral grove
#

Is there a different process to ssh into HD on 17.4 with Palera1n? Worked through “remote host” warning, now getting UNIX authentication refused…nvm I have to use mobile versus root.

ionic copper
#

from mobile, you can use sudo to use root privileges

#

which I find is dumb imho..

fleet scaffold
#

Always gets stuck on

ionic copper
fleet scaffold
#

same error

ionic copper
fleet scaffold
#

Tried 420

ionic copper
#

Hopefully whoever compiled it wasn't high.. /s

fleet scaffold
#

Should I just downgrade to 13.4.8

#

My only reason is that troll store don't work on 13.4.8 I thi

ionic copper
#

Well, with an HD, you can go anywhere from the latest to 13.4 with blobs

fleet scaffold
#

Think*

#

I have no blobs. So I would have to use ipsw

ionic copper
#

TrollStore only works on 14 afaik to 17.0

fleet scaffold
crisp crater
#

14.0b2 to 17.0 on all devices I think

ionic copper
fleet scaffold
#

Well yeh

ionic copper
#

It's great to install apps with

#

But the point is the bug

#

I'm sure there's a raspberry pi implementation that could subsequently boot it untethered in a sense

#

Just allow it to run via USB voltage from the TV usb port

#

Then connect output via usb-c

lapis heath
#

also i'm sure they'd love to remove the usb data from the iphone

#

wireless charge only or no data over usb if it's kept

ionic copper
#

Or having to subscribe to more cloud data

#

If I was apple, I'd get rid of the dug in port, but keep it with pins like the old apple watch

lapis heath
#

I hate wireless but my old mac won't often see the phone via usb

#

at one point it was connected to a usb2 hub and 12mbps

#

was wishing photos worked over wifi

ionic copper
lapis heath
#

what like iclod photos?

ionic copper
#

Like buying new headphones that require an update

#

Or airtag locations that use the U chip for precise finding.. Need a new phone for that

lapis heath
#

im not even talking about that. this is just usb2 to lightning

#

I think it's hardware wearing out on the mac. it's a 2012 mbp after all

ionic copper
#

2012 can still run modern software

lapis heath
#

not according to apple

#

thankfully ther's OCLP

sleek moss
#

Is there anyway to jailbreak my Apple TV without a Mac or Linux

#

@ionic copper

ionic copper
#

seeing as you're on 17

odd stone
#

@ionic copper btw there’s some debs that exists but are not referenced by the index in your repo

odd stone
#

exist on github
not referenced by package file

ionic copper
ionic copper
odd stone
ionic copper
#

it was compiled and uploaded to his github when nitoTV's servers went down

odd stone
#

anyways you probably want to check what’s in your debs directory

ionic copper
#

hence why I also backed up the server and re-hosted the bootstrap

ionic copper
odd stone
#

Yeah it’s probably fine

#

well the nitoTV repo cannot be used on palera1n since it’s a bootstrap repo

ionic copper
odd stone
#

i don’t think it’s a bootstrap problem

ionic copper
#

but it seems a tad redundant when this 'purepkg' thing is there already

odd stone
#

there’s no payment protocols implemented yet

#

Am thinking of sileo_payment

ionic copper
#

no-one's going to pay for tweaks on tvOS

odd stone
#

nControl doesn’t apply to our target versions

ionic copper
odd stone
ionic copper
#

but it doesn't make sense to fix something that's closed source to have it break again when tvOS 18 comes out..

odd stone
#

Does Doom work by any chance

ionic copper
#

and quake

#

they're not jailbreak apps

odd stone
#

What broke it in the first place anyways

#

for the nitoTV

ionic copper
odd stone
#

broke the nitoTV

#

and I suppose by fixing it’s with a tweak

ionic copper
#

well for one, nitoTV was severely outdated. Since 14.8.. it wasn't updated.. so 3 years later, things changed

#

the one tweak that's essential that i need to fix that's absolutely broken is preferenceloader

#

without that tweak, you can't load any of the tweaks/settings manually

odd stone
#

For PurePKG there’s some lag while scrolling through all packages in the search tab

#

or maybe that’s an A8 moment

ionic copper
#

same thing with snowboard

#

and misaka

odd stone
#

preferenceloader causes TVSettings to crash

ionic copper
#

i just have to recompile it and it'll work

#

interestingly enough; nitoTV hooks in to frontboard and headboard but that apps smooth as butter

odd stone
#

@ionic copper how do you think safemode UI should work on tvOS

#

There’s no safemode UI in tvOS ellekit right now

#

the safe mode works, there’s merely no UI of any sort to get out of it

ionic copper
#

safemode for tvos doesn't have a ui like ios does, it just presents you with 3 options to reboot, reset or respring

#

usually when a tweak or something goes wrong, the apple tv just resprings with no affect

ionic copper
odd stone
#

I suppose it’s not a concern if there’s no way to bring up the options menu again after being in safe mode

#

Yes

odd stone
ionic copper
#

it's only a hazard if one disconnects power during an update

odd stone
#

when connect 4K with dcsd+goldeneye to palera1n in normal mode (this can only be done when jailbroken already because USB), the process is very jank

#

the enter recovery will enter DFU, but then because auto-boot is false device goes into recovery while jailbreaking

#

Then restart palera1n and the process can go on as expected

#

However I do not have the 4K and is not able to fix any of that

#

The basic breakout and advanced breakout further complicate matters

#

in the DFU helper

#

not to mention the dcsd could have been a Tamarin as well

ionic copper
astral grove
#

So expect to run into issues with Palera1n on 4K using GE/DCSD cable? Nearly updated my 4K to 17.5 since my HD on 17.5 successfully ran Palera1n.

thin nova
#

Going over some of this, I suspect that UART works similarly to UART over Lightning on other devices (which requires an appropriate adapter). But it might be disabled and require demoting. And it sounds like the debug connector may have had JTAG on non-production HomePods, but components for that have been removed

Anyway, wish there was an audioOS/HomePod channel, hard to find the prior work done on this already

ionic copper
thin nova
#

Exactly 😕

#

Anyway, I'm kinda wondering why these HomePods are bricked, and whether instead of attempting to build an ipsw / restore them, it might be possible to use these tools to figure out where and why they get stuck

#

At the moment I only have a working OG HomePod and don't want to mess it up, though 😄

ionic copper
thin nova
#

(I do have several iPhones with the same SoC that I can play with though)

thin nova
ionic copper
#

if said checks fail, it'll abort the whole process.. even if it's part-way

thin nova
#

...so is it in an OTA update loop at that point?

thin nova
#

one of the OTAs available (per version) does appear to be a full OTA... but I suspect getting non-corrupted files back onto the device won't be particularly straightforward.

solemn garden
#

This happens every time I try to jailbreak

crisp crater
#

because you aren’t entering DFU mode correctly

solemn garden
#

What do I have to do I press down menu & play after I press enter and I release it after the countdown ends

#

I’ve gotten it

worthy mirage

Apologies for the intrusion, and knowing I must sound like an idiot....

I am attempting to JB ATV 4k w/ GE/DCSC as I had years ago, this time using tvOS 17.4 (willing to go to 17.5 if that's also still a go)-

Let’s try this again….
And once again, apologies for the intrusion, and knowing I must sound like an idiot....

I am attempting to JB ATV 4k w/ GE/DCSC as I had years ago, this time using tvOS 17.4 (willing to go to 17.5 if that's also still a go)-

Config:
- ATV 4k (A1842) tvOS 17.4
- palera1n-macos-x86_64 (Current- 428) directly from https://cdn.nickchan.lol/palera1n/c-rewrite/artifacts/main/428/
- Host MacBook Pro (intel)

Steps

  • Connected DCSC&GE to MacBook to force DFU (confirmed fast flash)
  • Removed DCSC cable from Mac & GE, replaced with USB-A to Lightening cable (both are Apple official (USB cable, and USB-C to USB-A adapter)
  • Launch palera1n— ./palera1n-macos-x86_64 -f --cli
    • Doesn’t see ATV after waiting reasonable time, ctrl-c the app
    • Reverse alignment of Lightning cable at GE interface
  • Again Launch palera1n— ./palera1n-macos-x86_64 -f --cli
    • This time it PARTIALLY works/fails per below (I think due to “unsupported target OS version”?

Questions:

  1. Any reason NOT to update the ATV to 17.5 (current), and then JB as don’t want to deal with this again on this one for a while (I actually a total 3 ATV if I can get through this one).
  2. Why is second half of install not completing on ATV (likely based on msg about catalog).
  3. Had expected to have two override check for tvOS version (see unsupported)
  4. USING CLI given comments about lack of current viability in t-gui.

Any thoughts per chance? guessing simple stupid mistake

I wouldn't recommend anyone attempt to jailbreak the 4K until the HD version is 100%... this being the case of accidental OS corruption which may lead to bootlooping

worthy mirage
# ionic copper I wouldn't recommend anyone attempt to jailbreak the 4K until the HD version is ...

Understood (4k should wait till HD proofed out).

My questions (sorry if I wasn't clear were around the following issues).

1- Is there possibly a settting I was missing on the comand line arg for palra1n to ignore/bypass the version of tvOS when setting up as I have 17.4 which is not OFFICIALLY supported (at least in the MAIN of pailra1n)

2- What does the errorr msg I recieved mean? (you are correct that this one is more trroubleshooting)-- collection_remove: WARNING: element 0x7f7f50c05f50 not present in collection 0x10adba970 (cap 8)

3- Any reeason to stay on tvOS 17.4 vs 17.5 (other than the everr present statment stay loow of course). Reason being rather only do this once for this device and lock it down as I did in the past.

Thanks for previous reply 👍

ionic copper
# worthy mirage Understood (4k should wait till HD proofed out). My questions (sorry if I wasn'...
  1. No. The command-line args are fine, it's not what you typed in, it's the constant connection/disconnection that palera1n initiates during the checkm8 process.. especially during the pongoOS boot. I had to restart the script several times just to get pongoOS to pick up the device in its state.
  2. That is a kernel element that the patch finder collects to allow codesigning.
  3. Unless apps nag for an update, I see zero reason to add more security to a 4K. It's already difficult enough Apple has killed the native USB port that we have to go on the internet to find a specific knock-off cable that Apple internal uses to flash the device.. Can only imagine what magic Apple is keeping inside these updates to kill jailbreaking further...
worthy mirage
#
  1. TY for confirming at least it wasn't a stupid mistake on my part (did read, and review the manpage, and inline --help)
  2. Got you. (confirming your commeent likly an interraction on the iboot process). The palera1n app does indeed show no boot args when I launch it on the ATV. Perhaps nuking it and trying again would help (tryying repeatedly 2 time so far- back the DFU dosen't seem to help). But don't want to wastee your time here on a config you are telling me is likely still problematic even with posts here to get things working. 👍
  3. Yeah I did have a number of apps (and Apple Dev app) that were pushing me to update which is why I uped one of my ATV 4k's to 17.4 so thought that 17.4 vs 17.5 shouldn't be as material given vector of Checkm8t but it's been years sincee I was deep in the internals so will defer to others with more contemporary knowlege like yourself

I love that folks think "oh, just another update.. what could go wrong?" then after OTA-ing.. they find themselves stuck in a hole because of compatibility issues, then they turn to Reddit or Discord for help.. especially on how to downgrade. It's just sad really, They need to stop enforcing unwanted updates. ESPECIALLY when you buy new hardware like headphones for example. You shouldn't have to update to use something like that.

worthy mirage

Agreed.... Though unfortunately an unwinable desire (just like my disire to freeze cloud based services at a STABLE WORKING build/config) unless I MANUALLY ask for update... EEvery day using ANY cloud based seervice brings a new poteenttial round of wach-a-mole (yyes I am talking about u AMZ) lol

and yet qnother reeason I am moving to LOCAL hosted voice seervicees when I get a CHANCE to add to my HA instance

But I digress...

I just love how one little thing leads to a chain of events to lock-down. Kind of like someone coming in to a bank and accidentally giving the teller a fake ID.. then the alarms go off, sirens and bars lower on the window. I do understand this is a security breach but at the same time, third-party organizations are already locked down as is.. There's no real need to get this cynical over a movement to freedom.

Though some trial and error (most with I can log and hopefully reproduce for anyone looking to move this forward)...

  • I managed to get Palera1n installed & (perhaps) JB…
  • Installed purePKG (no icon & no top shelf image if that matters)
  • Unfortunately I miss-entered the repo URL and now have a bad/malformed repo that I can’t remove (using the UI reemove). Lets me select and delete but reeepoo isn't ACTUALLY removed. It SEEMS like this bad repo (dropped the https:// (from https://zenzeq.github.io/tv/). I was able to add it correctly but seems the INCORRECT entry is actually stoping me from installing TrollHelper even though I can find it in the repo and TRY to install.

I assume if I could ssh in I could nuke the repo list (or manually remove). Ironically had somewhat similar issue if I recall YEARS ago when I needed to kill a repo from Nito that I couldn't purge via ui.

Any thoughts? Really don't want to try removing the JB in hoops that reinstalling would wipe the files and allow me back in as might not get its reinstalled 😉

Yes… and no…

As I have done in the past, yes I did swap it out…. That led to the failure scenario I initially mentioned…

As part of many tests it tried once WITHOUT swapping and got further (to the point where I am now)…. Not yet to the point of recommending that yet

Current impediment is having a corrupt repo file and not being able to get in via sftp or ssh using mobile or root with alpine to fix

is there any particular reason that when jailbreaking with checkra1n on 13.4.8 on an aTV4, the home screen will just become inaccessible at random? i can still use the app switcher and everything else works fine, it's just that the home screen becomes a blurry nothingness

...and based on the discussion i'm seeing, should i consider updating to 17.5 while it's still signed? (if it's jailbreakable on that fw anyhow)

@uneven wraith Do you know of people that have had major success? What version of tvOS are you on for your 4k gen 1

I just don't want to buy these cables and then have it not work. Though I do have a 4k gen2 and I think the cable also work for that?

Ok in the interests of helping others (who take the time to search comments here).

  1. Yes, GE/DCSC work to JB ATV 4k gen 1 using palera1n (as of palera1n, Intel- build 428).
  • The trick is NOT to disconnect the DCSC cable from the GE adapter as one would have done with previous generation of Palera1n.
  1. Yes, said combination does indeed work with tvOS 17.5.1
  • Someone needed to test, so I took the chance so we know for sure.
  • Also my other 2 ATV 4k gen 1’s are on 15.1-15.5, and only way I can get my Giants baseball on NBCsports BA (or any of Apple's BB coverage) is by updating to at least tvOS 17... Plus with WWDC around the corner, helpful not having to work around Apple's restrictions for OS version on the Developer app... Thus the other 2 will EVENTUALLY update after I review their current settings and note current tweaks & repos- knowing of course most won’t work on 17 but that will be a education experience in the future when I have time to catch up on current state of which repos are useful/stable, tweaks, and package Managers.

Seems QUITE a lot has changed in the past 3 or so years since I have been out of the scene and clearly have a lot to (re)learn thanks again to those who helped or even just tried to help (and thanks as well for some good luck I seemingly stumbled upon along the way) 👍

One final question as I reach a logical pausing point. Is there ANY way to lock down software update? I of course turned off but know Apple tends to not always respect that setting/wish. In days of yore we used mobile profiles we knew would never hit as a way to block updates, hide the update process, or even had a JB or 2 that OFFERED to block updates. I don’t have PiHole operating so I can’t blackhole the update (if that would even work), so looking for a solution to ensure nothing changes my loadset on this ATV as I plan for updating the other 2…

You could block at the DNS level with PiHole/Adguard

Yes, DCSD

ARM vs intel SHOULDN'T be an issue there are ARM & Universaln builds of the new version palera1n. As mentioned my test set is from Intel/MacBookPro. USB timeing should also of course be compatable

Can't follow up on hardware suppliers my rig (DCSD is ancient- old 3 LED version w/USB-A interface picked up from Jin years and years ago), GE at least 4 or 5 yrs ago via ebay sellar suree long gone

If I EVER found myself a week of time I didn;t know what to do with I would look into seeeing if I could get the Linux version of palera1n running in a container (or VM) on my QNAP NAS, so I didn't have to haul my laptop over to my ATV for reboot.... But way to janky for normal I suspect more just proof of concept and learning exercise but have too fix my ZFS issues LONG before tackeling that!

topaz thistle
#

Hardware passthrough to containers is a PITA

#

If your OS doesn't handle IOMMU very well then it'll be impossible

#

Likely you'll have to pass through the whole USB bus

worthy mirage
#

As I said interesting thought experiment.... More practiclee solution would be the tiny old rasberryPi based checkma8 devices I rememeber from years ago. Out of curiousity anyone know if they still exists, and I supose more relevantly, if they can take the new palera1n? I still do a bit of IoT stuff but haven't stayed up on what is current w/r/t palera1n

#

From CURSORY review looks like it COULD be viable with current builds (for ARM).... You of course still need to make sure you have a USB interface to your ATV but maybe that's a betteerr solution forr those cpu chaallanged folks. Just understand that this is VERY fringe so expect do do a lot of colaborative debugging with a good deal of paticence before you reliably construct a predictable rig.... but then yooujr are golden!

"Manual update/downgrade:
If you want to manually upgrade or downgrade for whatever reason, follow these instructions:

Download checkra1n arm/arm64 version from the checkra1n website
Connect to your Ra1nbox using either SFTP or WGET method listed below:
SFTP (easiest method): Use an FTP client like Filezilla and connect using SFTP method with above credentials
WGET: Make a SSH connection using Terminal on MacOS or for example Putty on Windows
Browse to the /home/ra1nbox/ra1nbox folder and replace the existing checkra1n file
Set rights to chmod 777 to make sure both regular and root user can read the file. Either using SFTP or SSH (see FAQ)"

Cross pooosting in hopes I find a knowlegable soul........

Seeems the joy neeverr ends... Dispite not yet having figured out the right way to block OTA updates on 17.5, I havee an old 4k gen 1 that I just can't update the system sopftware on..... Strangest thing. JB with OLD version of of checkra1n running tvOS 14.6....

Tried reverting FS using checkra1n app AFTER ensure in Nito that updates are turned on in the app AND sytem updates are on in the preferernces.... Retried twice (fails afterr downloading)....

Reboooted tried updatee again (anotther 2 times)....

Rebooted, tried to WIPE and update using prefernces..... Same failure right at end of step 1

Then went and reinstalled the OLD JB..... Am back in the boox with root/ssh... Any idea what's blocking and any ideea how to just FORCE it too pull new image off net? I know I can FORCE DFU with my DCSD connected to the GE but DOUBT I want to try trransfering an image from laptop and not supported (outsideee apple)

Guessing either update prefs or processes are still comperrmised so it won't update? Strange no way to just simpley for nuke & pave

Any thoughts from the brain trust?

ionic copper
worthy mirage
#

Regarding profiles. Don’t BELIEVE there are and and don’t see anything in general )assuming they show the same way as iOS in general right? This is ancient tvOS 14.6….

#

It dosent SEEM like a setting prob (not normal ui) as it does start and dl but fails with DIRRING the update or update/reset that occurs after

#

Version of checkm8 and display of dl before fail

#

So a bit unsure that manged prefs will force something to work that is already being chosen. I mean that in the best way as I’m trying to learn 👍

#

Don’t managed prefs only allow/disallow/trigger the same system process as the ui (at least in this case). And I have tried both update in place as well as erase/update (aka reset & update) both with same results…. Other ATV on same version (or close 15.x) worked like champ…. Restored via checkra1n, then sw update via prefs

topaz thistle
#

so checkra1n works on even the latest updates?

#

for 4k gen 1

worthy mirage
#

No this old checkra1n running on old build tvOS (14.6). But since that’s what’s on there that’s what I’m using…. Trying to update system to tvos 17 and then will re-JB with version of palera1n I have used on other 2 4k gen 1 boxes

#

I’ve installed it and removed several times in my attempts to update…. Is installed now to facilitate ssh access as I have root on the box trying to troubleshoot or just force the update to 17.5.1

topaz thistle
#

is there a way for me to take my 14.3 install up to 14.5 or do I have to update to the latest version

worthy mirage
#

Not at this point. Blobs won’t do u any good as u have no image to restore. There are VERY complicated attempts been made over years to try to SYNTHESIZE an image from OTA deltas but really not worth the grief and EXTREMELY low likelihood of success…. And this from some who had successfully used futureRestore from the command line years and years ago before things like delayOTA and even FutuRestore gui

#

No reason for apple to publish images for devices that they don’t have consumer based image restore interfaces. We have access to image restore using jtag or GE like apple but the GM images aren’t published by apple

topaz thistle
#

So this doesn't do me any good? It looks like a signed version

worthy mirage
#

If u try to force an update u get current for your device type.

Only way around that is DelayOTA not applicable in your case as u are years to late…

IF u are JB now u MAY be able to force a SUPERVISED updat to ANOTHER CURRENTLY SIGNED RELEASE. But can’t imagine ANYTJING for 4k gen 1 signed but 17.x

topaz thistle
#

So JB at 14.3 first and then update to keep the JB?

worthy mirage
#

Simple. IF u can JB do it.

topaz thistle
#

tbh all I really care about is being able to use Kodi for IPTV and Plex as I self-host basically everything. If I can get full Kodi on the thing without JB then I'm ok not JB'ing

worthy mirage
#

If AFTER jb I want update and a signed version IS STILL AVAILAVLE AND CAN BE JB then u MAY be able to mange your way to it but that’s just theory since apple NEVER leaves a competmised version signed for years so no point beating that dead horse

#

Don’t need JB for either. Don’t make ur life complicated. Plex is in App Store and been on my apple devices for 10+ yrs

#

Played with kodi when it was xbox media play on my first hacked xbox back in the day…. Long since retired to basement.

U can sideload kode if u really want to hack up Plex to add your iptv streams. Look online u will find solutions that make iptv streaks look like Plex tuners

#

Again to complicated and long a discussion for time I have at the moment at least u know what to do…. Sideload kode if u need install Plex from AppStore….

Now if I can just get this last damn ATV to download and update to current!

If the checks fail, it'll abort and present an error

#

Oh I don’t think it got to any stage then. It was unplugged in less than two second

ionic copper
#

It happens right after the OTA downloads

sudden viper
#

Not sure maybe it did download. Not like I can delete it if it did though

I got an apple TV 4k from my school's dumpster (model A1842) on TV OS 14.5. Is there a way to update it to a version of TV OS that's trollstore/jailbreak compatible? It doesn't have any USB but I do have an apple dev license. It works perfectly. Just don't want to lose the chance to JB

#

The apple TV does not have usb btw

But I think from there, you can get to 15.x ota

#

I know you can't get to the latest from such a low version

#

Because the prerequisites want 14/15

OK I seriously don't understand why the fuck this Apple TV refuses to install TrollStore -_-

#

I have it working on a ton of them but for some reason I have 2 4K 3rd gens that it just refuses to work on and just does this... i'm doing the exact same thing I'm doing for all the other ones I even factory reset the damn thing lmao

#

Factory reset it again and went through the whole process and still got the same damn thing. I don't get it

vale yoke
#

GOT IT. Finally. Found one guy that had the same error and said to disconnect the Internet while Misaka is attempting to install TrollStore so I did that and it worked instantly 😒

Does anyone’s controller work on tvOS 14.7

#

xbox one controller

#

Mine says connected but I get no inputs at all

ionic copper
#

some apps aren't compatible with said controllers as they're "MFI" and third-party controllers aren't default with such profile
