ok i’ll send the command before i do it just to make sure it’s correct
fix what?
your futurerestore build?
the skip patches issue
so should i still proceed or is it gonna be an issue with mine too
it’s the latest one you’ve sent me a while back
you can try, only issue you'll get is the invalid keys bit if it doesn't work
i thought you got rid of that?
which i can test that function on my broken 4k
I thought I did too but either I sent the wrong file or got rid of it
so now you don’t have it and have to remake it?
remaking it isn't difficult
do you want me to send the files you’ve sent me?
maybe you can tell if you don’t want to remake it
no, it's fine
i’ll be able to in a few hours so probably faster if you remake it
it doesn't take that long to remake it
--skip-patches on this should work
virus!
i love how windows just assumes that
apple loves you more
lol
the only issue I'm having with that is what=[TSSC] failed finding latest firmware version
which I'm sure it'll work fine on your end
who knows?
we'll find out soon
I'm probably doing it wrong...
@ionic copper i'm gonna try it tomorrow i got tired
That's fine. No rush
ssh
SSH
Oops, sorry, i was probably searching for stuff
I have the latest Apple TV. Is there any point of keeping on keeping it on 18.1 to avoid SSV? Like will anything ever be released for this device that would even matter that it could be rootfull. I know it’s a stupid question but I’m just curious if anyone has thoughts.
I'd avoid ssv at all costs, just makes things more difficult for future development
what's going to be sad is: 3 years down the road, 18.2 > will be required to download apps
Alright I’ll stay until apps stop working thanks
problem is with your unit I'm assuming it's the 2023 model... it cannot get usb as of yet
but it could.. be jailbroken later on down the road
im trying to make a 13.4.8 ipsw on a 2016 macbook that has monterey and keep getting this ../payloadv2/payload.006 Extraction failed Error 0xbd039000 Invalid/non-supported archive stream archive stream read error (header) stream cancelled ../payloadv2/payload.001 Extraction failed Error 0xbd039000 Invalid/non-supported archive stream archive stream read error (header) stream cancelled Failed to create file stream Error creating input stream Error 0x91058402 No such file or directory: open: ../payloadv2/fixup.manifest Extraction failed Error 0xbd039000 Invalid/non-supported archive stream archive stream read error (header) stream cancelled
The script doesn't work for 13
First, what Apple TV is it?
1st gen 4k
ive managed to downgrade it to 13.4.8 but now its just the old triangle logo with apples restore link
What ipsw did you use?
found one on that reddit thread that someone made just to test it and it got all the way to the end and then said restoring failed
Please don't use that one
That's why it didn't work
yeah i assumed it wouldnt but just tried it tbh
ive got my blobs and stuff its just futurerestore not having the keys error
You can't use futurerestore with it
how would i use the one u linked then?
yeah i saw that but i barely use mac and idk how to install all the libs for it
Homebrew
o yeah forgot about that ty
its downloading at 500kb/s tho 😭
on a 1 gig connection
It's not you, it's the server
They've been hacked recently so things are building up
oh fair enough ty for the help 🙂
ive installed all the dependencies but when i run it with -e and then put the ipsw in it starts booting and shows apple logo but then the terminal errors out with this and stops "dyld[55199]: missing symbol called"
what mac are you using?
is it m1?
you might have to compile it
alright ill try that ty
that worked, it restored thank you 🙂
@ionic copper sorry to bug you again but is there a way to get to 17.2RC from 13.4.8?
There is it's just futurerestore is down
Oh fair enough ty
hey, how do I save blobs on Apple TV HD?
I've just found another Apple TV that happens to be on OS 12.4
The blobsaver does that
I saw that Janis.
?
hey guys, anyone encountered being unable to remove repos from PurePKG?
What repo?
I have acquired a Apple TV 4K (3rd generation) with tvOS 18.0. I have disabled auto updates, worth waiting just in case?
ok?
sure, in 5 years
help me fix my bootlooped apple tv
did you manage to download the necessities?
and install?
what kind of mac?
newest one
oh boy
lmfao
I'm guessing it has usb-c ports?
yeah, that'll be a problem
i have a port hub
yeah it should
what macOS does it have?
sequoia 15.1
the apple developer thing?
no, in terminal: xcode-select –-install
you can also use the homebrew command I showed you which'll prompt to install them too
I'm guessing it's telling you that the file contains malware?
btw can i just xcode directly from the app store?
xattr -d -r -s com.apple.quarantine location/of/futurerestore
you don't need it
bruh
i realized
mbmb
okay i did it but it opens futurestore as a document
weird
bro
stop
screenshot?
whats the shortcut to screenshot on mac
command shift 3
did you do chmod 0755?
I'm guessing by different it's black?
bro
/Users/hayei/Downloads/futurerestore4k
screenshot?
ok good
I don't know if this is the right channel but I need help jailbreaking my apple tv gen 3 revision A, it won't show up in BlackB0x
do you have homebrew?
no ill do it now
what's the model number?
A1469
what kind of mac do you have?
homebrew is installed and ready
brew tap d235j/ios-restore-tools
brew install --HEAD libimobiledevice-glue
High Sierra Version 10.13.6 iMac (27 inch, mid 2011)
brew install --HEAD d235j/ios-restore-tools/libimobiledevice brew install --HEAD libirecovery brew install --HEAD gaster brew install --HEAD ldid-procursus brew install libzip brew install libtool autoconf automake git clone https://github.com/libimobiledevice/idevicerestore.git cd idevicerestore git checkout cc9c68e ./autogen.sh make sudo make install
??
do you have the original apple remote?
Yes
seperately?
so with the apple tv connected via usb, place it in dfu mode
or all together
yes
How would I place it in dfu mode
!t dfu
Hey @chrome edge, have a look at this!
DFU (Device Firmware Upgrade) mode is a mode which allows a device in any condition to be restored to a fresh version of iOS (not to be confused with Recovery Mode). This can also be used to jailbreak using checkra1n and palera1n!
For how to restore in DFU mode, see /tag dfurestore
juts making sure will we need idevicerestore?
the commands i posted will install such
what error?
dfu.c:86:2: error: call to undeclared function 'irecv_init'; ISO C99 and later do not support implicit function declarations [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
ah
I'm not expecting you to install it
so download this #tvos-jailbreaks message
I'm just getting you to install the dependancies
yes
for idevicerestore-gcc9c68e
if you drag it in to terminal as-is, it should then work
zsh: bad CPU type in executable: /Users/hayei/Downloads/idevicerestore-gcc9c68e
what does this mean\
ooff.. it looks like you're running arm mac
I'm guessing
which again, is easy to fix
oh ok
Apple switched from intel for security and performance
oh yeah
if you go in to the src folder inside idevicerestore
you'll see a file called dfu.c
you can open that in text editor
ok how do i go inside
cd ./idevicerestore
or, what you could do is cd ..
then mv ./idevicerestore ~/Desktop/
then it'll be on your desktop
ok got it
i opened dfu.c
find that file
with text editor
okay, look for irecv_init();
and delete it, then save the document
it should be 84 lines down or 85
you'll see it if you count
irecv_init();
if (irecv_open_with_ecid_and_attempts(&dfu, client->ecid, 10) != IRECV_E_SUCCESS) {
return NULL;
}
i delete this whole thing?
no, just the one part i showed you
done
yep
screenshot?
looks good
I think now inside that folder, inside src, you should also have idevicerestore inside it
you can also go sudo cp /usr/local/bin/idevicerestore ~/Desktop/
and upload that here if you can
that way anyone else who has an arm mac can also download it
makes things easier
ok i found it in the folder
can you upload idevicerestore here
thats great
I'd do it myself but I don't have a newer mac
all good i gotchu
it just blurted out a whole lot of code
screenshot?
good it works
yeyeyeye
do you have the 13.4.8 ipsw?
no
you did download it on your old mac 😛
okay, first we gotta check one thing
do i cd ..
no
to get out of idevicestore
you can leave the cd as is
zsh: permission denied: /Users/hayei/Downloads/gaster
you need to chmod 0755 it
oh.. use the xattr command
how
xattr -d -r -s com.apple.quarantine gaster
xattr: No such file: gaster
drag. it. in
no if you use gaster as-is
it should show env: USB_TIMEOUT - USB timeout in ms USB_ABORT_TIMEOUT_MIN - USB abort timeout minimum in ms options: reset - Reset DFU state pwn - Put the device in pwned DFU mode decrypt src dst - Decrypt file using GID0 AES key decrypt_kbag kbag - Decrypt KBAG using GID0 AES key
or something like this
good, that works
why did you delete the link
let me know when everythings done
itll take a while
that's fine
idk why the file is downloading so slow
it's a big file
its 2.5 GB
compressed, yes
counter strike? 😛
coolstar? no
it's not really a villain route. What's a villain route imho is the expensive company giving you expensive hardware but no way for you to fix it yourself.
so you have to take time out of your life to reverse engineer stuff to make other stuff work with it because "Oh, we're sorry, that won't work"
😂
asking the 'genius' at said expensive company just leaves you with a shoulder shrug and "But hey, we can replace it with this new device for you for only 299.99"
and thinking the expensive company will make things better in the future but get "We've introduced this new device with more security..."
I decided to tell the expensive company that if they won't help us then we'll help ourselves
ok is every apple device you own is jailbroken?
pretty much.
bro whats the point of jailbreaking an iphone
I also have non-apple devices all jailbroken that are used to jailbreak other apple devices
for example: a jailbroken ps4 to checkra1n an iphone 7
most see it to make/save money but it's supposed to be to escape this nasty grip that apple has on us for controlling our stuff
So we can do with it as we see fit
I've come to realize with technology that just because you paid for something doesn't mean you actually own it
you're just renting it
I mean; you own a copy of the hardware but without the services, it's useless. And the services are made by the company which is what you're using, not owning
so by jailbreaking it YOU BECOME THE OWNER
technically; yes
Apple can easily defeat this by simply requiring such to update in order to use apps/services
but there's research that can be done to temporarily bypass this course of action
it's a cat and mouse game really
you do this for a living?
@ionic copper its done
how
connect goldeneye to ethernet port
connect dcsd to goldeneye
and plug the other end in to mac
then plug in power cord
good, go in terminal
drag in gaster
press spacebar and type pwn
so it'll be gaster pwn
done
hayei@Hayeis-MBP idevicerestore % /Users/hayei/Downloads/gaster pwn

i got this
same thing
the successful end result of gaster should be [IOKit] Waiting for the USB handle with VID: 0x5AC, PID: 0x1227 CPID: 0x8011 Found the USB handle.

so now take the idevicerestore you made
ok
drag it in terminal
press spacebar
type -e
press spacebar
then drag in 13.4.8.ipsw
and press enter
if it says this, you'll need to do idevicerestore on another terminal window and close the other
screenshot?
good, give it time
btw why when i closed the terminal it worked?
was it because i was in the devicerestore directory?
probably I/O interruption
i think because of this
screenshot of terminal?
@ionic copper how do i see if the apple tv is in dfu mode again
because i closed the window
Finder tells you
i dont see it in finder
before it popped up immediately
[IOKit] Waiting for the USB handle with VID: 0x5AC, PID: 0x1227
CPID: 0x8011

Stage: PATCH
ret: true
[IOKit] Waiting for the USB handle with VID: 0x5AC, PID: 0x1227
should i just wait?
cause it doesnt give me this all the time
most of the time it stops at the first stage
if you're seeing this and not the end result I showed, it didn't work
this process takes 3 seconds
if that's the case, maybe quitting the terminal and retrying will work
we do know it works though
if still nothing, re-entering DFU works too
ok i figured it out
you need to know power off the apple tv
then start a new terminal window
okay
so if you're getting that end result
and it says you can boot untrusted images, then you're fine
then i do gaster reset
yes
gaster reset should be usb_timeout: 5 usb_abort_timeout_min: 0 [IOKit] Waiting for the USB handle with VID: 0x5AC, PID: 0x1227 Found the USB handle
got that
done
yea its restorign like before
once idevicerestore is done, the apple tv will show a black screen, then an apple logo with another progress bar
if this is the case, it's successfully restored
is it verifying the restore?
do i do control c
yes
its not letting me out
you can do it on another terminal window
hayei@Hayeis-MBP ~ % /Users/hayei/Desktop/idevicerestore/src/idevicerestore -v
idevicerestore 1.0.0-146-gcc9c68e
okay I think the issue resides with the fact that you're using a usb hub for this
and the device can't disconnect properly
fuuuck
which this same process would work just fine on a pc or your old mac
Or you can retry with the new mac, maybe change ports?
ok
@ionic copper LMFAO
LOLLLLLL
you wont believe what happened
@ionic copper when i was trying to do the gaster thing i turned off my apple tv and then turned it on
then boom
it suddenly worked
wtf
@ionic copper I figured it out when you’re done with idevicerestore you’re supposed to disconnect the Apple TV from the laptop, then power it of and turn it on again and it would work
It happened to me accidentally
Because when it’s connected to the MacBook it goes into DFU mode
odd.. at least now you have a fully functional apple tv
what happened was, you gave the dcsd power via your mac which triggers DFU.. I guess what you're supposed to do is disconnect the cables after restore is done
Btw is there any way to untether jailbreak an apple tv 3,2 running latest software?
I do believe the untether works for it
@ionic copper now should I update my appletv or stay on 13
up to you
most folks update because of app compatibility
yeah cause netflix doesnt work on 13.4.8
😦
i wanna jb now
won't install or won't work
why
because you could use appstore++ from nitotv to get a compatible version that works
if it's just because the app stores requires a higher tvOS
oh i thought you said jailbreaking it wont work
you can jailbreak 13.4.8
yeah, he will know
Guide to installing Odysseyra1n
thanks
wait will nitotv make netflix work?
with appstore++ you can downgrade the app to the last version that was compatible with your tvOS
oh ok
whether or not that version of netflix still works is unknown
ah ok
for my TVos
then this won't help you
but doesnt work
you'll have to upgrade
ah
you can use palera1n if you update to 17.2
that would be preferable
do you have a 4k or HD
4k
17.2RC is signed still, zenzeq can guide you through updating
would it be similar to when i restored it 13.4.8?
yeah but you'll need to grab blobs
ok
if you're ok with sacrificing storage space you could use palera1n on 18.2 with a fakefs
better off going to 17.2 for any hopes of a semi-untether though
why 17.2 to be exact?
that's where I'd go, if you aren't doing any app development
this doesn't
tis for ios only
it'll allow code execution but it doesn't bootstrap
@ionic copper should i go to 17.2 and jailbreak or just jailbreak it as it is
17.2 is a little difficult at this time. If I were you, I'd go to 18.2
at least then you can still downgrade once 17.2 becomes accessible
yeah
then i could jailbreak it correct?
yes using palera1n with fakefs
ok
ctrl-c (when it gets stuck at pongo os)
palera1n -cf
(wait 10 mins to create fakefs then appletv should reboot in restore mode)
palera1n -f
ctrl-c (when it gets stuck at pongo os)
palera1n -f
(wait 2 mins while appletv reboots jailbroken)
so i just download palera1n on my mac and run this code?
yep
where do i download it?
is this permanent
use 2.1 beta 1
it's permanent, but not untethered
to re-activate jailbreak you'll need to connect it to your pc and run palera1n -f
but as long as you don't remove the power cord, it will remain jailbroken even in rest mode
i don't think this'll work
I can give you one that'll work
this one is compatible for your mac @deft elbow
chmod +x to make it executable
does this one support 18.2 fakefs?
I believe so
Should the Apple TV be in DFU when I jailbreak it ?
Any up to date version spoofing tweaks available? I have 1st gen 4k's on 16.5 and some apps now require 17.
yes
yeah, that's going to be tricky
is plex hackable on atv ?
what do you mean hackable?
plex pass maybe? idk
no.
are there any good tweaks for atv ? i mean is it worth to jailbreak ?
there are, they just need to be updated
what tweaks were you looking for?
i'm not looking for anything really, just wondering what those are
i remember playing around with retro and kodi. other than that i can't recall of anything else
retroarch is on the appstore
no need for a jailbreak
yeah i'm aware. i'm just saying that i didn't really see anything screaming jailbreak heh.
funny enough i stumbled on one of your replies on reddit from 6mo ago lol
@ionic copper i tried to jailbreak with paler1n but i got the yellow hazard sign but I was able to restore it
Yeah.. I would not attempt to jailbreak it just yet
until bugs are ironed out
how long would that take
as long as it takes
how do you save 17.2rc blob?
what's your ecid?
how to jaibrake TV 4k 1g without usb... 16.4.1
usb required
you do have trollstore though
anyone help install Kodi ipa through trollstore? I followed all the steps to convert through 7-zip. when I try to install through online download I get "parse error 301 unable to locate app bundle inside the .ipa archive"
tv 4k 1 gen not have usb
It's because you made the ipa wrong
It does.
hm.... I not see... hiden?
Inside Ethernet port
You need Goldeneye adapter and DCSD cable
ok
I'm using Spartan to edit a plist file. I click confirm to save the change but it doesn't work. What needs to be done to make changes stick?
depends what tvOS you're using
and what jailbreak
16.5 on a 4k
Not palera1n, no cables. Pretty sure I used Trollstore originallly to jb
trollstore doesn't jailbreak
mikasa then
misaka doesn't jailbreak either
what you could do though.. is download the ipa (if you can grab it) then reinstall it with the modified plist
I guess that's the answer then, my device is not jailbroken, Trollstore only apps
Spartan IPA?
No, the ipa you're trying to modify
Unless that's it.. In which case, why
The IPA is on the device but can't open since it requires a newer IPA which only works on 17. I'd like to see if I can manually trick it by changing the plist. Sometimes works
What app is it?
It's a local tv station, not avail in the US store
TrollStore has a decryption app.. That could be used to grab the application off your device, then you can just modify and reinstall
Not sure if it's decrypted. How can I check that?
There's a good chance this won't work seeing as many 17-required apps now look for dylibs that aren't in older versions..
If you downloaded it from the AppStore at one point, it's not decrypted
Yes, it's downloaded fro the AppStore
Which decryption app would I use for this?
TrollDecrypt
But I think that requires a jailbreak? Unsure.. It's been a while
Will check into it thx.
It doesn’t, at least not in iPhones
It may with tvOS simply because there's no native airdrop
No trollstore filza either?
Spartan
been awhile since I've installed with Trollstore. I upload an IPA, get a link, input it in Trollstore but keep getting Parse Error 301
Tried with file.io and dropbox (the latter I've even changed the last digit in the URL from 0 to 1). This use to work before
Depends how the ipas packaged
Has to be the .app inside a Payload folder, then that folder gets compressed to a zip and renamed to ipa
File.io has now changed since its partnership with LimeWire
For spartan i dowloaded the ZIP from github and changed to IPA
Looks like Spartan doesn't work on 16.x. Guess it's not happening.
Is it not an easy process or something?
Not really. For me it is
Be nice to have the process posted somewhere jic
I did exactly this and am on TVOS 16.6. can you think of anything that i might be doing wrong?
depends on how you're transferring it
Care to share how? I dont mind if it’s difficult
download tsschecker and ipsw in question and run the following command, this is for example for 18.2 on an ATV4K: tsschecker -d AppleTV6,2 -e <ecid without 0x> -o -Z 18.2 -s --save ./ --boardconfig J105aAP --no-baseband --build-manifest ~/Downloads/5640bae52542c4ca2bd9be949d10c9085e576ad8/AssetData/boot/BuildManifest.plist
hi, i got checkra1n and nitotv installed on my apple tv
what do i have to do to dump an app's ipa?
which tweak do i need
i think i need trollstore but i have no idea on how to install it
ok so from what i understand, with sideloadly i install trollstore, and in trollstore i install trolldecrypt and with trolldecrypt i can dump the ipa... right?
bfdecrypt but it's not working
what else can i do ?
trollstore as u described
I don't know where you got your understanding from but you don't sideload trollstore.
how else do i install it ?
First, what tvOS is it on?
apple tv hd 2015 14.4 18k802
If you have checkra1n installed, you can just add my repo to get trollstore
whats your repo?
https://zenzeq.github.io/tv
thank you
i can dump the ipa with trollstore? if i dump it how do i transfer it to my pc?
You can dump it via TrollDecrypt. Also on my repo
What ipa are you dumping?
a game i installed from app store
I’m guessing it’s paid?
oh i seen this repo on google
it's free
for archiving purposes, no one saved the tvos version of the game
and the game is gonna get shutdown so it's for preserving
Keeping in mind, dumping sometimes screws up in app purchases
It transfers it via airdrop
thank u!
would it be possible to download previous versions?
just to make sure we preserve all versions ?
especially getting the first version would be so amazing
depending what apple tv is it
.
yeah downgrading
and saving ipa of each version
@ionic copper
uh is it normal that your repo is empty ?
it's not the repo, it's a bug in nitoTV
if you can ssh in, you can also add it in manually
echo “deb https://zenzeq.github.io/tv ./“ > /private/etc/apt/sources.list.d/sources.list/sources.list
apt-get update
uh
is this normal
what did you type in?
.
Can I see the rest of the screenshot?
find / -name "sources.list"
echo “deb https://zenzeq.github.io/tv ./“ > /private/etc/apt/sources.list.d/sources.list
I guess copy/paste failed me
there, the repo should be populated in nitoTV
Hey guys, so last time I checked my TVOS was on 14.7.
I didn’t jailbreak it yet tho, I read there is a newer jailbreak for higher versions.
Can I update to latest and jailbreak it ?
Or what should I be doing ?
I read 18.1 is latest available FW. How do I update to 18.1 ?
I don’t have SSH blobs saved for 18.1. What should I be doing ? And I don’t think latest is supported yet by palera1n right ?
I wouldn't update it. What apple TV is it?
with blobs and cables, yes
I just want to update it because many apps complain to run on lower FW
I haven’t saved any blobs sadly
then 0 chance to get to 18.1
Will there be a jailbreak for latest using palera1n?
I have an Apple TV 4K on 18.2 I am getting my golden eye cable in a couple of days 🎉 I pretty sure 18.2 is supported right ? If not I’ll just have to wait, I wanted to start making tweaks for tvOS, I wish there was a tutorial on how to save the blobs for the 4K model and how to downgrade it, I know there is a way to restore the firmware with OTA to IPSW I heard about it just don’t know how to do it, I never jailbroken a Apple TV 4K and need to do a lot of research 🧐 really excited about it tho 😊
there is.
yes
Thank you so much !!
@ionic copper thanks for confirming
I was wondering...
Will we see the day were we root newer generations haha?
Or this is basically impossible as of now ?
I am speaking about Apple Tv 4k Higher generations not the first one
jailbreaking the newer ones isn't hard.. granted they're on lower versions. We just need at least one dev to port over a jailbreak to work with tvOS, then bootstrap it
issue is: such bootstrap is so closed source that it's almost impossible to recreate it without modifying it
ah makese sense hm, if we know some dev who would get excited to work on that, i could buy him some coffe or donate something considerable to motivate him/her tbh
another issue with this idea is: most folks have windows and it wouldn't play nice with the 4K
seeing as you'd need a mac to pair the 4K, sideloading an app would only be feasible via Wi-Fi
I'm desperately looking to jailbreak/root latest Gen, tho I think it's on latest FW 😦
all-in-all; only a very small fraction of folks would attempt to do this let alone, scratch their heads of the whole purpose to jailbreak besides piracy in the first place..
Oh that's true, I'm one of those folks, tho I have some macbook running on vmware that works okay, but slow as hell I have to agree
I think what'll happen is the dev of nitoTV will soon retire as palera1n deminishes from the lineup.. then maybe a new bootrom exploit will be discovered in the USB-C/M-series lineups that'll be compatible with the latest models and downward to the other A-Devices
I'm guessing as iOS/tvOS 19 or 20 is launched.. this'll exclude all checkm8 devices. I'm thinking the 4K first gens last firmware would be tvOS 18. I can't see Apple adding anything else that would support A10x, especially Apple Intelligence
Makes perfect sense indeed
what?
Look at your profile picture
imagine not understanding the joke
I recently sourced an AppleTV running tvOs 15.5.1
My goal is to get Trollstore running on it to eventually run Minecraft AppleTv. The video source I got my info from indicated Trollstore has valid installs from TvOS 14.0 to 16.6.1 so I figured I would be safe with 15.5.1.
In checking Trollstore, there seems to be an incredibly tiny gap in the available downloads going from 15.5 to 15.6 beta 1.
Am I screwed here? Or can I potentially just use the 15.5 version and it will install OK? I haven't tried anything yet.
Any advice would be awesome 🙂
everyone trying to hack their TVs to install pirated minecraft /s
Hey if they're gonna delist it lol im gonna source it how I can, I'm just happy there's still a workaround to be able to play it.
I truly apologize for such the mess. I didn’t realize it would blow up that much.
if only there was a lite version..
Just sideload it :>
If it was that easy we wouldn’t have ppl hacking there Apple TV just to install it, you can’t Sideload it , it’s impossible! It Does not even work on a developer account I just found that out from someone who tried it … anyways you need trollstore that’s the only way besides owning the game… I mean I don’t even play Minecraft I was just trying to help the Xbox community so they can get achievements that are super rare but that’s broken 😞 I don’t understand why people wanna play this on their Apple TV it’s basically broken. A light version would be better than this! This game can’t even be saved unless it’s too iCloud. Trust me it’s not worth installing!
Wasn't planning too either, genuinely your probably better of getting an fake minecraft copy to run better than that old one.
What I don't get is: if this is indeed popular, shouldn't we have some type of petition to bring it back? or at least develop a look-a-like version of it
I completely agree, but the only thing is I don’t like Minecraft so I wouldn’t be the one doing this 😂 but yes, this needs to be done somehow someway because this Minecraft version we got right now is crap 😂 I mean your saves will be corrupt no matter what you do apparently, the Apple TV will just randomly delete files that are bigger than 512kb I heard I don’t know if that’s true if that is true, then it might be a little difficult to develop a way to save the game idk I am not a game developer just a thought
I do know of a way to prevent this from happening (corrupt/deleted saves) but sadly would require a jailbreak
which I'm sure no-one really wants to bust out their computers/cables just to play minecraft
Yeah, it’s basically the same situation we’re in you’re gonna still get messaged over Minecraft 🙃 so that really doesn’t help
especially when they have to use palera1n to run it with a windows machine
all-in-all, it's great for one thing to say...
LMFAO 🤣
I love that skit, bro mad tv is the best fucking Stuart
Why don’t people just play this on their fucking computers? I mean really come on now I would understand emulation like dolphin, but this is something completely different. You can easily run Minecraft on your computer. Smh or just buy a big ass iPad problem solved
because kids are still using pentium 2 processors or the AMD junk 900XYZ processors that can play doom but can't checkra1n a phone
we live in a modern society where basic computing is the price of rent and if you budget, you get garbage
Okay did I just brick my Apple TV I did everything right, I was on 18.2 on my 4k and now after creating a fakefs then waiting 10 min then went to jailbreak it and boom I got the restore screen 🙃 saying support.apple.com/apple/restore
I hope I did not brick it I tried to unplug it but that did not help
Brick what
Oh no, you didn't
I know the routine
My 4k Apple TV I tired to run Palera1n and created a fake fs waited 10 min then jailbroke it :/
Fml I guess I fucked up
-cf then after the created the fakefs I used -f
So you can exit recovery mode using palera1n --exit-recovery
Or futurerestore —exit-recovery
Then retry palera1n -f
Okay thanks
Did it work?
Yes, it’s not bricked however, when I ran -f lines came down the screen on my TV and it just constantly blinked so I unplugged it plugged it back in and it went back to the Apple TV ont jailbroken should I run -cf again?
“Not Jailbroken”
No c just creates, that’ll mess up your file system
Try just f and see, if not, revert and recreate
Okay cool thanks
@ionic copper is tvos 17.2RC still signed?
if it is i probably should just update to it already before it isn't which would make it harder for myself
Surprisingly yes
We out here in 2025 with 2023 stuff still signed
apple's waiting for me to update then they'll unsign it
is it still the same command and program you sent when you wanted me to try it?
I'm thinking that 17.2RC is still signed for a reason..
Because Apple doesn't forget these
.. You've been trying to get to it for over a month and still haven't yet
wasn't the file futurerestore-7?
I'll have to check.. I don't know
did you check?
Hey I stuck on this screen it’s recovery mode but it’s seems I had no Apple Remotes connected I believe I tired everything even to reboot it with Palera1n I can get my tv remote to work with it, am I fucked ? The only thing I can thing of is getting a IR remote since I had no Apple TV remote paired and it will not let me pair nothing can’t even use the app on the iPhone 😔 I tired to kick it out of recovery but it says it’s not in recovery mode idk anymore I just feel like throwing this Apple TV out the window tbh
It even goes to sleep wtf 🙃
What are you doing?
I tried to re-jailbreak it last night and I’ve been stuck on that for like five hours. I’ve tried everything I can’t get out of there.
No remotes will connect not even my TV remote, which always does the job
Guess I’ll try an Universal remote I got the codes to it, if that doesn’t work, I’m done I am very upset with myself spent a hella of a lot of money on the cables and the Apple TV fuck it I’ll just stick with the Apple TV HD
You don't need the remote for this
Bro, if you can help me with this, I would be so grateful I’ve tried everything. I tried to kick it out of recovery mode and it says it’s not even in recovery mode devices like it’s on. It even falls asleep I spent a lot of money and time and all I’m doing is just trying to help the community with a tutorial
Okay, and the remote does not work?
Correct I can’t pair no remotes and my TV remote does not work thought hdmi
What are you doing to pair it?
I tried holding the buttons like they said on google I tried three remotes. None of them worked. I have a Apple TV HD remote I have an Apple TV 4K remote one is the newest one has the lightning port I followed the instructions and it will not connect. I never had a remote connected to the device. I always just use my TV remote through HDMI.
I also tried two different TVs that did not work neither I also tried using the iPhone app it will not show the Apple TV I even connected it through lan
However, the Apple TV was connected to the Internet, so I just don’t understand why it’s not pairing a new remote or not working with my iPhone
What buttons?
Volume up and menu on the hd remote and volume up and the back button on the new 4k remote
Just like that
But the Apple TV remote was never connected in the first place so this is why I think there’s a problem
Oh, that's why
There's no pairing handshake
This is still an easy fix
I hope so man anything you can give me I’ll take it bro
First, what kind of apple tv is it?
The one in question stuck on this screen
It’s the first gen Apple TV 4K and I have the golden eye cable it’s on 18.2
I have a hackintosh in 13.4 I believe it’s intel chip
I know it’s an Intel chip
That's fine
What we're going to do is send you right back to 13.4.8
Then from there, you can OTA back to 18
As if nothing ever happened
Okay
How difficult is it? I tried to get the blobs I have no clue I tried to read your tutorial. But it seemed difficult tsssaver seems to not work
So first, download this #tvos-jailbreaks message
This isn't too difficult
In my tutorial, I've linked gaster4k. Download that too
You'll have to set permissions with idevicerestore using chmod 0755
Then see if it works by just dragging it in as is
If it errors, you might need to install homebrew and install the dependencies
Okay I got those 2 files now I need my blobs for 13.4.8 you say to use tsschecker so I’ll continue with your guide
No, you don't
Okay
I’m kind of confused buddy I apologize I’ve never done this before. Can you tell me what to do?
Does the idevicerestore executable you downloaded work?
It says library not loaded
No such file missing a bylib it seems
I apologize I was missing libzip like I said I’m a noob. I’ve never done this before. I’ll just fuck around with it. I thank you for your help. You’re amazing dude! Hopefully I can manage to get this working. I know you don’t have time to help a newbie it’s all good
I just wish there was more written tutorials but it’s all good
You're not done yet
Two more steps
Okay thanks for the help
What’s the next two steps I need to do
Okay I downloading it
Okay, so place the device in DFU
Next, run gaster pwn
If its successful, terminal will tell you "you can send unsigned images"
If not, try to terminate terminal and rerun gaster4k
If you get permission issue, use chmod 0755 and drag in gaster
If still nothing, you may have to unplug USB, then replug it
Okay
My internet is slow as fuck and it’s still downloading but I just wanted to thank you
Np
At least with this downgrade you'll be able to initiate the pairing process
Then the Apple TV will know what's what
I think it's safe to say that 18 shouldn't be jailbroken until palera1n is fully developed
Okay so just downloaded it, when restoring what command do I type in idevice restore ? After gaster This one idevicerestore -y -e just want to make sure that’s correct
Yes, but drag in the ipsw after -e
This has to be done AFTER using gaster4k
Perfect okay
After idevicerestore completes, disconnect the USB
Or the DCSD will throw you back in to DFU mode again
Yeah, I’m gonna wait a little bit tell Palera1n get it fully developed lol 😂
How's the process coming?
so is futurerestore-7 the correct one?
it's the latest one you've told me to try that i never tried
I went to Walmart to try a universal remote before I did this and I was able to fix it. I really appreciate you. You really help me out big time I just didn’t really want to take the chance of fucking something up but now I have that in my back pocket just in case I ever brick my Apple TV. THANK YOU ❤️
Now I don’t have to re-sign into all my apps
Used this remote
Do you spent even more money for a remote when downgrading was free
Yeah I know but it was only $10. I really appreciate your help man and now I know how to restore my Apple TV 4K just in case plus I need a universal remote for my dad i’ll end up giving it to him
I think what's going to happen is you're going to need to downgrade anyways and re-restore seeing as this is affecting your file system.
Okay well shit damn
could you send it please?
🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much !!!!
Np
i have blobs for 14.7 on apple tv 4 HD. I'm currently on 17.3 and want to downgrade to 14.7. I plan on downgrading to 13.4.8, JB, then futurerestore to 14.7.
Can I still use futurerestore to do this?
are you able to send it to me yet?
You can try with the version you have
ok
Yes.
You don't need to go to 13 for that
You can go straight to 14 as long as you wipe out
Which would be futurerestore without -u
hey all trying to jailbreak my apple tv hd on 18.2.1 tvos. i see it's supported here. when running ./palera1n -fc i get stuck on pongos, so i ctrl+c and run the same command again. however the filesystem is never created and i just boot back into tvos without palera1n. any suggestions?
fml
nvm got it. my version of palera1n was old
tvos 18 JB worked for you?
Greetings all! I'm new to jailbreak of tvOS, but have jailbroken iPhone 12 and 14 in the past. I have Apple TV 4K (64GB), currently with tvOS 14.4. I had ordered GoldenEye and Alex DCSD cables while CFW guide indicated that for 18.2.1 (at that time, the only official update offered by tvOS 14.4), no jailbreak was not available. I have and MacBook Airs with Apple Silicon and Windows PCs available to run the required software, and could install a Linux box if that is preferred.
My GoldenEye and Alex DCSD cables just arrived, and I see that palera1n will now work with 18.3.
I would prefer to be running a version higher than 14.4, since many streaming apps are no longer supporting 14.4, but since this is not my only ATV, that isn't a hard requirement. Is there a path that would result in a jailbroken ATV 4K at any versions between 14.4 and 18.3?
Would you recommend starting with Odysseyra1n on 14.4 and gathering various blobs and other data which will leave more options open in the future, or should I go ahead and update to 18.3 via Apple's official update process, then use palera1n to jailbreak 18.3?
odysseyra1n doesn't work for tvos
Thank you for clearing that up. I saw that Odysseyra1n was recommended for AppleTV 4K(1st) with 13.4.6-14.7 on
https://ios.cfw.guide/get-started/Apple-TV-4K-(1st-generation).html
but the Show more link on that page goes to https://appledb.dev/device/AppleTV6,2.html which recommends checkra1n for 14.4 (and elsewhere for 12.0-14.8.1 on various devices). The checkra1n page on appledb.dev does point to guide for Installing Odysseyra1n
While it sounds like I should proceed with latest checkra1n, I would appreciate a recommendation on whether to upgrade to 18.3 before jailbreak, or if there would be additional flexibility/options by jailbreaking while on 14.4 (and maybe any major plusses or minusses of those 2 options).
It's called the guide needs to point to the tvOS guide
tvOS 17.2 RC got unsigned by the way
damn
i got to lazy with updating to it
i still have a blob though
@ionic copper can i still do it if i just add the blob into the command?
idk why i keep saying i’m gonna do this then just don’t and keep waiting
i’m going to actually do it today if you tell me what command to do
how do i know if this blob is for my ecid (0x154DE810E8A83A)
@ionic copper
is there any way of knowing because i wanna make sure
idk if the name has any correlation with it or what
i wouldn’t have to ask any of this if i didn’t stall for a month 😭
i feel so dumb for not just doing it earlier when i could’ve not worried about any of this
You already have the blob. You're fine.
The only downside is you need futurerestore now
You’re freaking out for nothing again
ok sorry
i’m just making sure cause i really don’t want to be on tvos 18
You don't have to be
It's literally the same commands
Because if you take your ecid and run it through tsschecker, it'll give you the same number that's on your blob filename
ok i’ll send the command to double check i have the right stuff when i do it
i’m just busy rn but i’ll be free later
does Legacy iOS Kit work on apple tv 4 HD? would like to dump onboard blob
No.
You can dump blobs if it's jailbroken
9/8/7
Depends what Apple TV 4K it is
No jailbreak for you
Enjoy tvOS 18 though
i just jailbroke an apple tv 4 hd 17.3 with palera1n. the facetime app appeared. is this something used for the jailbreak?
no, this appears because of the hooking method used for PineBoard during jailbreaking
how do i block tvos updates using a beta profile?
EDIT: okay I had to follow com.apple.MobileAsset.plist method of blocking Apple TV updates: #1196223809812971720 message
it works in jailbroken and non-jailbroken mode. I had to jailbreak on Apple TV 4 HD in order to get the file in through SSH first
Good luck removing it when you want to update
I don't mind restore without updating (keep data). Would USB restore through iTunes still work?
I don’t think you can update through iTunes without wiping
yes I don't mind wiping all data in order to update to a newer tvOS. Is com.apple.MobileAsset.plist method going to cause an issue to do that?
No
From tvOS 13 to 15 you can
17.3
Best to save the on-board blob for that
