Scratch that. Apparently the reinstall installed repro 0.1. Ill start over
Same issues. How to update nito? Ssh?
Device: Apple TV 3 A1469
Firmware: 7.4 (8081)
Jailbreak: etason
I installed Kodi 14.2 Helix onto the user partition and added a local FTP server as a source. When I play my movie (720p, black and white) from the FTP server the playback speed wavers up and down. Sound is OK, but the playback speed is not stable. If I fiddle with hardware acceleration settings the playback seems more fluid, but the sound get out of synch. I also tried with the XBMC Plex add-on which launches properly on Kodi but I get the same wavering playback speed. Did anyone try playing movies using the new jailbroken ATV3 and get it to playback fluently? My OSMC ATV1 with CrystalHD plays the same movie without any issues.
Also on Apple TV 3, did anyone try to mount a USB drive through the micro-USB port? I know the port is supposedly only for diagnostics / maintenance but I would like to test it.. But don't have the cable to try it myself...
@coarse tinsel kodi forums have a lot of users & devs that might be able to help.
okay i will check, thanks
@coarse tinsel Kodi forums won't tell you much seeing as this is outdated. The micro USB port is for diagnostics only, so connecting any drives or computers etc won't work for extra storage or file accessibility.
For your Kodi issue, try downgrading Kodi to XBMC and see if that resolves the issue?
thanks for the info re the drive! (got my issues mostly solved, but realize its probably the wrong forum for that topic)
i need some help, i am jailbreaking my apple tv 4 ios 13.3.1 and the exploit runs fine and after it boots back up and starts on the grey downloading screen it will go for a while then randomly shut off
@naive fossil Very odd. Are you on the latest checkra1n?
I managed to get it installed I just had to click my remote to keep it from sleeping
@fleet parcel sorry to ping you - trying to add few repos in nitotv but i see red loading circle for like a sec and nothing happens... any idea?
@toxic rose depends on a few factors:
Is the link typed in correct?
If so, is the link still valid?
And are you up-to-date on nitoTV?
the link is correct - iโm trying to add diatrus repo
i just jailbroke this apple tv 4k yesterday and i do not see any more updates in nitotv
http://diatrus.github.io/tv iโm tryna add this link
Yeah, that's why, its not valid
ahh .. i can see that sourcve is no longer valid
hmm
makes sense
any other repos that i can add?
http://diatrus.github.io/nito
thank you - that worked!

I want to hide some icons on the ATV3 main screen, that cant be hidden from Settings GUI. anybody knows the location of the config file for manual edit ? (I want to hide Movies, TV Shows and Music and Computer now that Apple added the TV app)
@coarse tinsel it's inside settings
@fleet parcel , yeah thx used itunes indeed, and then checkra1n.
running great again now on tvos 13.3.1
@coarse tinsel it's inside settings
@fleet parcel Movies, TV Shows, and Music icons are in settings yes, but they cannot be switched from Show to Hide
They can, there's a way.
@coarse tinsel press and hold the select button on an app you wish to hide, once the app starts to wiggle, press the play/pause button
it works for the regular apps like Netflix etc, but not for the core Apple apps/icons
never mind, its a small thing
@coarse tinsel settings -> man menu
Question: I'm new to tvOS jailbreaking, so how would I go about JBing my AppleTV so I can override where it thinks its location is?
@grizzled gorge VPN
@fleet parcel does it only use IP for location determination? I thought it used hardware for a more precise location.
some apps do
oh wow @haughty thorn ... Someones not having a good day ๐
@fleet parcel It appears that Apple released a version of Apple TV Software 7.4 today and unsigned it. The previous version of 7.4 is still being signed apparently
Indeed, wonder why they pulled the plug so early...
AFAIK, it appears to be the same version, possibly a newer build number
hmm, wish I could... @frigid moat?
@fleet parcel just want to confirm, this works on tvos 13.4? https://twitter.com/qwertyoruiopz/status/1240310688746221571
checkra1n 0.9.9 experimental prerelease - experimental 13.4 support, please test on other firmwares also. to run on 13.4, tick the 'allow untested iOS versions' checkbox in the options view - https://t.co/dmdZNMHbJh
164
844
Yes, beta. I'd imagine the official release too, still downloading it to confirm
@haughty thorn https://twitter.com/Joshblah555/status/1240491156636454912
Checkra1n 0.9.9 works with tvOS 13.4 (beta 6) @qwertyoruiopz!
If anyone is stuck on the beta with an Apple TV 4K and has the breakout board installed cough @Apple4Barres, you may use the "Allow untested versions" feature.
noice
tvOS 13.4 is jailbreakable, but please wait for an updated version of checkra1n
@fleet parcel any luck on specbreak

what was the 3rd gen update for?
Was it for Disney+?
please say it was for Disney+
my guess is to patch etasonatv
@tribal schooner got a 3rd gen?
Yeah. I'll fire up the update.
cool, see if the jailbreak wirks ๐
No jailbreak won't be the end of the world
I'm still hopin disney+ though
wait what version even is the newest version, mine is on 7.4
7.5 @tribal schooner
someone just told me 7.5 got pulled
im not sure if thats true or not
So since Disney+ aint on apply tv 3, can jailbreaking accomplish what apple cant in that aspect?
probably not
just airplay it from your phone or something
does etasonTV block updates?
.
Yeah, @haughty thorn I dunno how it'll be possible to update if its not signed...
but, at least etasonTV is alive
i think that dude who told me it was pulled was wrong
Oh? How so?
I have an Apple TV 3 somewhere
@somber ivy if you do, by all means jailbreak it
Need to find the damn remote
Well, the update isn't necessarily "pulled" its just not signed..
granted, we can still download it, just can't install it
@somber ivy https://etasonatv.tihmstar.net/
?
The way the exploit works
Yup
@graceful flame Read the pin
how
We need more repos Lol
@fleet parcel what is the cydia substrate for on atv?
@rotund sand code injection, it's the glue of the jailbreak
my old apple tv has etason, i left it becuase no apps worked, anything new? 3rd gen
having trouble sending a deb to my apple tv 4 (checkra1n). i installed breezy but it says theres no app to open the deb.
trying to airdrop from my phone (Filza)
@snow remnant needs to be updated.
@fleet parcel think nows the perfect time to up everyones bingeing game with videopace. If ur bored maybe take another look?
Meaning? @jaunty rune
To somehow get it working and added to nito ๐

@snow remnant needs to be updated.
@fleet parcel im on the latest version, pretty sure.
A guy can hope
Plus itd be a nice addition to the utilities i think. Useful.. to me anyway lol
Hi. I have Apple TV4 on 13.3 and I'd like to downgrade o 12.4. I have blobs and it seems Sep should be compatible cause box has A8 chip. Is this possible? How do I set nonce?
@jade portal http://joshtv.net/Guides/SEPCheckr.html
thanks
FYI: Processor chips have nothing to do with SEP compatibility.
Hello anyone, looking for some help on my ATV3
what deb are you trying to send?
@fleet parcel why? would you host it for me?
Is oldtube supposed to remove ads?
what's this
@nocturne socket
Can not install chimera with xcode anymore. I have created xcode project to get developer certificates about 1 month ago. Resigned with ios app signer and could install onto my AppleTV 4 with 12.4 no ptoblems. No when I update certs in the old project resign and try to load with xcode it gives me an error. Unable to install "appname". Any ideas. I have no dev account.
I wish altdeploy could sign ATV apps.
@jade portal Hmm, have you tried revoking the certificate(s) and retrying?
@midnight torrent ooookkay?
can we jailbreak apple tv 4k yet?

@jade portal Hmm, have you tried revoking the certificate(s) and retrying?
@fleet parcel 7 days certificates been revoked. Had to reset xcode and remove developer certs from keyvault.
Ah.

Any repos for the AppleTV 3? Hoping to use mine as a headless server.
@serene roost Have you joined the party?
@fleet parcel No, I thought the party was mostly for Kodi? I have infuse on my other devices so thought I might try to load some services like nodejs and homebridge if possible?
Any idea if the usb can mount ext drives? Would be great if we could use it as a timemachine/NAS!
@serene roost No, the party is for stashing, installing nitoTV, setting up HD icons, etc. As for those services, they're incompatible on the Apple TV 3 seeing a its over 7 years old and those extensions don't exist for that infrastructure.
The USB on the device is nothing more than a diagnostics port for restoring the device. It cannot be used to mount drives nor host backups/servers. Just to restore.

How can I get plex on jailbroken atv 3?
@fleet parcel is there anything working for kodi matrix yet canโt find anything out there
Hi. I have an app in the testflight. I can copy ipa and install later with appinst no problem. But if I change assets.car inside the app just repack ipa. Appinst does not install. I understand it needs to be signed, but I thought If you have Appsync installed you do not have to. Tried to sign with ldid modded app and still no go. Any idea how to resign assets.car only? cause If I use free developer cert the top shelf in the app does not work. Hence the question.
@pine lichen no piracy
App from testflight
@pine lichen I understand, but you're mentioning 2 forms of piracy
So OldTube app is pirated, right?
Nope
Mentioning 2 tools for piracy did not mean pirating software.
@pine lichen No, however discussions about such tools is against the rules
got ya.
Kodi Matrix can not see SMB shares. is this for me only or everyone?
@haughty thorn it seems as if iOS 7.5 (atv 12H885) doesn't work with etasonTV on the account of missing offsets. The jailbreak insists the user(s) to downgrade. However, upon updating said jailbreak should enable functionality on the latest version.
In terms of vulnerability patching, still unknown.
He's already been informed.
oh
Just a matter of time as to when it'll be working for the latest
once u find out, can u ping me
Indeed.
I presume this'll be the same thing as h3lix needing to be updated when 9.3.5 was released.
9.3.6 i assume you mean
Quite possibly and 10.3.4
For jailbreaking the Apple TV 3rd gen is it possible without the original remote?
@somber ivy yes, just rather difficult
not much, seeing as its pretty old, maybe 20-30 bucks?
if the original remote is lost or broken, you can pair a bluetooth keyboard to the device, then navigate to Settings where you can pair a universal remote to the Apple TV
I already have those set up
$19 for a new remote from Apple
Bet I could get one dirt cheap off eBay
maybe, but then you'd need to replace the battery if necessary which'll run you another 8-15 bucks
Ouch
3rd gen doesnโt support Apple Music :(
nah, 3rd gen doesn't have the hardware for that functionality
however, you can stream iTunes libraries
Or AirPlay Apple Music
maybe? but you're asking a lot of an old device
if you want all that, 4/HD is the way to go
Apple Music and Airplay works fine
๐
ATV 4/HD > 3rd/2nd
Obviously
lol
But I got mine as a gift
is there anyway i could install older version of apps.. for instance, bought a used apple tv 4k on tvOS 12.4 but can install hulu from appstore since it requires tvOS 13
@toxic rose nah.
so is ReProvision on the Apple TV working? when i try to login it just says โfailure unknown error occurred .โ i thought it was working again?
@long flume it is
Hi guys, donโt Shoot me i kinda nee to this, but i managed to jailbreak my atv3. But when i open nitoTV, What do i have to do to get kodi and stuff? Iโve installed it but i cant find a way to launch kodi..? And a way to installeer popcornTV? Can somebody help me out please? Thnx!
popcorn what?
kek
yeah I just jailbroke my ATV3 as well
seems like the only thing to do is joining the party

Thanks. The revert option on checkra1n finally did the job
what benefits are there to jailbreaking apple tv
@robust token read the pin
epic
is there a tvOS 7.5 jailbreak
i know it is super outdated, but thats what I am running on my TV's
its a gen 3
btw
does etasonATV work on 7.5?
@fleet parcel on atv 12.4 when downloading Doom, using a Nimbus controller it goes back to the springboard whenever I go through setting up a level and difficulty level, wonโt go into gameplay even if I click on Demo. Anything Iโm doing wrong?
It did it with the regular atv remote too. Both Doom and Doom II.
very odd...
@devout estuary I dunno how to reproduce it on my end... it's working just fine here (tvOS 13.4.5 beta 1). Perhaps update the games? if not, try to restart system services in nitoTV or re-install?
Iโll play around with it.
Yeah, just odd.. Looks like an annoying issue. But as far as the app goes, it should run normally
@fleet parcel do you know if etsaonATV is working on tvos 7.5?
or if there is another gen 3 os 7.5 jb out?
etasonATV hasn't been updated for the latest version of iOS for Apple TV 3. Just downgrade to 7.4 and the jailbreak will work
is 7.4 still signed?
yes.
kk cool. thanks
@devout estuary let me know if you're still experiencing issues. I'd like to run down some troubleshooting steps with you if this problem still persists.
Ok Iโm going to mess with it a few minutes and then DM you if I canโt solve it.
also, try Final Doom too
hello

Hi
Hi. Can AppleTV4 be jb with checkra1n through bootra1n?
Windows user here with little Linux knowledge
And no Mac
@silk rivet Question 12
I went through the FAQ before asking. However it just mentions a handful of methods. Just wanted to make sure that bootra1n was one of those
sure
Forgive me if this is not the proper channel to ask๐
you can run linux from usb too
Thank you. Always very helpful to the community!!๐๐
It it worth tvos13 over 12?
Not sure whether to update. Control center seems the only added value. My concern comes more in terms of stability
imo 12 > 13
@fleet parcel ๐๐ป๐๐ป
I mean; there's also user accounts, newer tweaks, up to you really
@lost cloak Question 2
@lost cloak just a standard USB-C to PC

why didn't the filter pick that up

Hey guys anyone else encountering problems connecting to App Store? -.-
Iโm using Apple TV 4 12.2 jailbroken with Chinera btw
AppStore not even loading
Another app itโs giving me this error
@fleet parcel any ideas?
I have itโs all working elsewhere
Iโve got 2 routers: Nighthawk R700 with DD-WRT running VPN and also got the stock ISP Virgin Media Router.
Iโve tried changing VPN server, DNS, connecting to stock ISP router
Okay Iโve even just opened a hotspot over 4G with my iPhone X, connected to it and still nothing -.-
i blame the vpn ๐
Jesus itโs so frustrating man
i dunno why you need a VPN for the Apple TV
i blame the vpn ๐
@fleet parcel could be, god knows
I use IPTV
Which is still working
either that or Apple's experiencing tech difficulties
i dunno why you need a VPN for the Apple TV
@fleet parcel genuinely because I donโt want my ISP to see what Iโm watching ๐
Regardless of what VPN you have, they'll always know
the only difference is, what source its from
either that or Apple's experiencing tech difficulties
@fleet parcel well about this I went to http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/ and theyโre all green except โGlobal Service Exchange - Resolved Issueโ
it may be green, but you also have to take into account of your side too.. is it rejected? did somethig expire? etc
Regardless of what VPN you have, they'll always know
the only difference is, what source its from
@fleet parcel
Well no, why would they - the VPN provider would - wether it really has 0 log thatโs another story
They'll always know, doesn't matter who or what, if you're using their services to connect to another, they have the right to know
Good luck decrypting the data
they don't need to, they just need to know when and where
but yeah; besides the point: check your router/firewalls
change out from wifi to ethernet
they don't need to, they just need to know when and where
@fleet parcel debatable - all they see is that Iโve been at x.x.x.x IP address which it leads to a VPN provider.
exactly
but that number is just a mask, they can find out all sorts of stuff in the address
but yeah; besides the point: check your router/firewalls
change out from wifi to ethernet
@fleet parcel
Iโve tried it all, not sure whatโs going on. Tried via WiFi, Ethernet VPN/VPN-DNS/ISP and finally personal hotspot via 4G
ok then, wait a day or two
but that number is just a mask, they can find out all sorts of stuff in the address
@fleet parcel oh yeah defo, thatโs why Iโm saying wether the VPN providerโs keeping the 0 logging promise or not...
regardless of what/how many logs they have.. your ISP can fetch data in realtime, all they need to do is sniff and sift
ok then, wait a day or two
@fleet parcel yeah I guess so, though you mightโve had a trick under your sleeve ๐
regardless of what/how many logs they have.. your ISP can fetch data in realtime, all they need to do is sniff and sift
@fleet parcel really? I wonder how they would do that, interesting..
there's ways of doing so. If it's a serious matter, they'll do it, and if they cannot, they'll find someone who can
Yeah okay we both agree on that one - luckily I ainโt doing anything seriously illegal to worry about so ISP shouldnโt have a reason to.
Does anyone have a repo link to the nitoTV iOS utility for controlling the ATV?
@charred monolith http://nitosoft.com/beta2/
@grand ingot can you do me a quick favor?
@fleet parcel sure whatโs up mate?
can you install Doom from nitoTV and see if it works?
Okay ๐๐ป
just see if you can load up the game
@fleet parcel I spoke with Apple on the phone with the excuse that AppStore wouldnโt load. The only options were to log out of iTunes & App Store & log back in - if that did not work then the only other option is to reset the Apple TV.
Any ideas on how can I reset without updating?
Being on Chimera, Restore Root FS
but you need to be in an unjailbroken state to do so
@grand ingot
Alright cause I pressed okay but nothingโs happening - I suppose lots happening in the background?
gotta press the button in the middle
Right it restarted
once you boot back up to your homescreen, head to settings
then Reset
Make sure you Reset and don't touch "Reset and update"
it'll look like this
Just to be cautions before proceeding - how can I verify that Restore RootFS worked and it didnโt glitch out and Respring instead?
you won't see NitoTV
all jailbroken apps will be whited out
and SSH won't connect
is the app there or is it whited out?
Okay itโs doing it now
It actually worked this time, just waiting for it to reboot - not sure hat happened there. Fingers crossed ๐ค๐ป
ah, ok
good
Resetting is fine... as long as you successfully unjailbreak first ๐
doing it whilst jailbroken spells trouble
All good @grand ingot ?
All done
But you wonโt believe it
Even after resetting it all AppStore still not loading ๐ฑ
@fleet parcel I honestly run out of ideas lol
its not you, its them
Luckily my favourite apps that were installed prior to resetting automatically redownloaded
Itโs weird cause the apps were downloaded but canโt access AppStore which is where is been downloaded from
indeed, but they're from your icloud, so it just needs to attach to the download link
which doesn't require the store to be open
i would try a different network, perhaps a friend or family member? someone with just a straight connection
@grand ingot
I tried even resetting my router & just using my ISPโs router no VPNs at all
Iโve even tried connecting via Ethernet to my main ISPโs router
@fleet parcel I fixed it!
oh?
You know what I did?
hmm?
i don't see why that would be an issue...
Everyone in the UK staying at home? Fuck knows
UK? Country: Italy
Well the account which was failing to load AppStore was UK
This one that succeeded itโs Italy
Canโt believe that Apple canโt solve this kind of issues from their end
gunna go back to playing mk4 on provenance with Apple TV ๐
@fleet parcel enjoy!
took awhile to get ps1 games working on it
Iโm gonna defo buy a remote to play games, Doom looked cool this morning I like this kind of old fashion games!
if you purchase nControl, then you can use ps3/xbox controllers
took awhile to get ps1 games working on it
@fleet parcel whoa! You can play crash bandicoot if you like then?!
(and yes, doom/quakes work with them)
Sweet thatโs next in the list!
I gotta go all over the jailbreak process again ๐
costs 10 bucks, but worth it to get a variety of controllers working on it than just MFI and not updating
Hey not gonna hold you any longer here buddy, thanks ever so much for your availability, always much appreciated! Enjoy playing! ๐
costs 10 bucks, but worth it to get a variety of controllers working on it than just MFI and not updating
@fleet parcel defo!
i just fixed Final Doom.. that was a PITA
Cool youโre gunna add that into NitoTV?
but yeah, quake/quake 2/dooms are all available with controllers
they're already there.
quake can go online with other players/apple tv players but I haven't had time to set that up completely
somewhat - ut is a bit more complex, but runs the same way
Damn that was a while back
wish the devs open-sourced it... i'd love to port it to tvOS
That would be amazing, honestly
problem nowadays is copyright
I wonder if you try requesting it, they might consider it?
doubt it, it's not a big deal tbh, but still... dare to dream
You never know! ๐
plus theres bigger things on my plate, like jb detection bypass
Yeah thatโs a right pita!
works on 12.x
Havenโt had any problems just as yet with any apps luckily
@lost cloak If you're talking about the boot trigger (real bug setup) no longer than a moment
yeah, that's the bug setup
if it freezes on that, just wait for a minute until it errors, then it'll retry automatically
if not, redo the jailbreak process
takes a few tries
back to the right before trigger
what vers of checkra1n are you using?
I restored my ๏ฃฟ TVs a while back, from 12.4 to 13.3, never jailbroke them after that point, today I try and open the spectrum app and I get a message saying itโs not allowed on jailbroke devices for me to restore my device, is there anyways to fix this without having to restore to 13.4? And y would a jailbreak b showing up when Iโve not jailbroke it since I restored it?
@vapid dock you've must've jailbroke them at some point
but with that being said, updating OTA won't delete left-over jailbreak files
so you'll have to restore via iTunes to completely clear it out
192 votes and 85 comments so far on Reddit
@lost cloak just go straight to DFU mode and hit "Start"
you have to hold the buttons down for exactly 7 seconds
the way mine goes is: Checking if device is ready... Error 31, wait, wait, Trigger, Booting
@fleet parcel
I must have JB it at some point and donโt remember cause when I moved from 12.4 to 13.3 I restored and set up new using iTunes.
Thanks for advice, guess Iโll have to restore it again.
@lost cloak try a lower version of it. I know 0.10.0 works
What os ur using @lost cloak ?
win 10 in virtualbox
Just a genuine question, is your Apple TV still detectable when in DFU state?
I mean does your computer actually see it?
yes
The reason I say that is because when I tried using Checkra1n with my surface pro 2/4 it would work fine but as soonest the device was put in DFU mode the connection was lost as Checkra1n doesnโt work with combined controllers - usb pass through works but you loose control over the USBโs.
Iโm just wondering if bootra1n works for jailbreaking Apple TV?

@lost cloak yes, 0.10.0 works with 13.4
But, seeing as you're using a vm, i can see that being an issue...
I agree with Josh, just make a partition and install Linux on it.
Not even; usb boot linux
Yeah thatโs what I thought, would bootra1n work?
Sure

What? lol
Ckick-baity youtubers
Hahah
It saves me telling him how to do it lol
Hey btw @fleet parcel , I bought nControl & ordered a PS4 Dual Shock controller ๐ฌ๐ฌ
Couple of days and it should be here
3 steps.
-
Install linux live on a USB stick
-
Make it bootable
-
Boot from said USB and install checkra1n
Ooh? Cool
Yeah look forward to it, will look into provenance next ๐
Prov is okay, still needs work imo, but great for kids
What on your desktop?
Prov is okay, still needs work imo, but great for kids
@fleet parcel I still feel like a kid a lot of times lol Iโve installed MAME - from what I see, I need to get hold of the ROMS though!
Is it? Well once the controller arrives Iโll look into it, what you suggest using?
@lost cloak 
Dude...
im just gonna let it ride out
Dude......
?
Scroll up
Iโve done it 3 times
Says error 77 is passcode related but
Thereโs no passcode on my Apple TV lol
Getting frustrated
Maybe my Apple TV just wasnโt mean to be jailbroken
We did it boys
Whyโs it look nothing like how it did before
Unplugged it and lost jb ๐
So I have to do whole process to get it back
Not the whole process, just boot it via checkra1n
@fleet parcel
Wanted to say thanks for that write up in the pins, thats such a needed thing for us noobs. Lol.
Iโm restoring my boxes, from 13.3 to 13.4, Iโm using a cable and iTunes, for my 1 box that says itโs been Jb prior do I still need to install checkra1n and get the snappy tweak or can I just run a full restore using the cable and iTunes?
a full restore would work just fine
Snappy is more or less used if you want to wipe it clean without updating
Ok thatโs what I was thinking. Thanks so much.

Bro thats my favorite part of jailbreaking my apple tv
What is?
The unrelated message got deleted I was making a joke
Hey guys. Whatโs poppin
Jailbroken my atv 4. Installed mame, prov etc. Filled it up with thousands of Roms. And using PS4 controller . Really nice and nostalgic
Anything else I should install with this jb?
@keen vector doom/quake
Ok
Does PS3 controller work with nControl?
@silk rivet No
cool shit to do on my jb apple tv?
i have found out how to install plex
@desert hawk Did you get my twitter DM, not sure which you use Discord more than twitter.
@inner marsh if you'd like, i could send it to him?
@fleet parcel we got in touch, thanks for offering :)
Is anyone experiencing problem opening appstore on 12.4? AppStore does not open and tv too. Removed jail and reset no go.
@jade portal try changing your AppStore country
@jade portal try changing your AppStore country
@fleet parcel Its worked. Thanks
Hi! Does anyone know how to create a tvos app out of a website?
I'd like to watch my movies from Google Play Movies & TV and I'm thinking if it's possible, create an app through xcode that loads the Google Play Movies chrome app.
Not possible? ๐ฉ
I see... Did anyone try that before? Or any xcode project is currently existing? It's so disappointing that Google won't even give a small amount of time to create one. ๐ฉ
There's a browser for tvOS on nitoTV repo
Not sure if it's going to do what you want though
Do I still have to jailbreak my device for it? Just want to have a better interface searching for my movies. I tried the YouTube app through Purchases but it won't even let me sort the movies. I have to go all the way down just to see what I want to watch.
meh, the Browser is a train wreck..
jb FTW
is tvOS browser any better with a keyboard? iirc my biggest issue was navigation.
maybe? the siri remote is better since its written for it
I couldn't get basic stuff to operate with the siri remote a lot of the time
got stuck on apple.com or w/e the default homepage is, it was only sporadically responding to input
Did you try the browser on my repo?
I think I installed the one on nito repo
not too sure tbh
I'm pretty sure nito's browser now that I've tried the one on your repo, yours has google as homepage
@desert hawk were can i find the 4character code to link my account on a jailbroken appletv3?
oh ok hahaha
hi everyone is it safe to upgrade jb atv3 to tvos 7.5?
If i jailbreak my appletv3 i cant update anything in the jailbreak app
Is this a common problem?
@next ridge join the party
@fleet parcel what do you mean
@next ridge read the pin
which one of the pins are you referring to?
if you are talking about the invite it is expired
@next ridge the last pin
it says this for me
@next ridge try this one https://discord.gg/yvesAaG
@fleet parcel non-expiring link ^
Is aTV flash (black) compatible with the jailbroken atv3?
Maybe? Give it a try
@fleet parcel and what should i do after join the party?
@next ridge i doubt you joined the party...
i still need to do i will do soon
You may need to restore and rejailbreak before joining the party...
i lost the guide how to install it and cant find the one i used before ...
and im on 7.5 cant that be jailbroken?
is it just for me or doesnt some of the pages load correctly
What are you talking about?
If it's the pictures, that's normal
Just follow up to step 9
and if i understand you correctly i shouldnt do this step
SSH into your ATV and install untether by typing in:
"dpkg -i /var/root/untether.deb"
(untether deb is downloaded by default)
Joining the party will take care of the rest
Not really
with this jailbreak can this apple tv be used for emulators and such or not?
Maybe? I doubt it
If you want a start-up to your Apple TV 3 jailbreak: Just type 2 commands (yes they can be copy/pasted).
wget http://joshtv.net/party.shto downloadand
bash /private/var/root/party.sh
to get the party started!!
@next ridge
can i jailbreak my apple tv that is built-into my samsung tv
there is no box or anything
its technically an app
the tv is a Samsung Q6
@inland garnet The Apple TV app? no.
but installing Kodi or other apps would work, no jb/root required
@analog elk Would you like to test a modified version of SpectrumTV to see if it will work?
Kodi? Is that an app
yes
I have a method that can bypass detection, but I'm unsure whether or not it'll connect to an account to show content
yes
@fleet parcel okay thanks, i'll check it out
jb doesn't matter
Sweet
Maybe? Give it a try
@fleet parcel atv flash didnt work.Nothing shows under Extras.
Ah, wish i had an atv3, then i could make a tweak or two..
Got this message other day.
Lol so theres at least two weirdos that want this including me. Hah does that somehow pique interest in making a port?๐ค
It does, but there's also those who want more games, bypasses, fixes etc
I know, just another to add to the pile. It could be useful for other things than just netflix, like any other streaming/tv app, podcasts, or music for some reason lol but yes i know most arenโt clamoring but once its available.. who knows
@haughty thorn there's 2 iPhone SE devices?
yes
About a week ago they released a new iPhone SE
Is this accurate ? Jailbreaking Apple TV Firmware 7.4 (12H876; based on iOS 8.4.3) on the AppleTV3,2
@zenith inlet Yes.
@fleet parcel sweet thanks! My dad just had my pick one up from a friend for free hopefully itโs on 7.4 ๐ฌ
@zenith inlet if its not, you can downgrade it.
Really? Even better
Although, you won't get much for the atv3, best to use a 4/4K
Honestly I just want it for kodi cuz my android box sucks and Netflix..... maybe even Disney if it works prob not tho...
If I use it enough Iโll consider getting a 4 but for free canโt go wrong
Nah, Kodi has issues and little to no sources work for it
4k Iโm not confident with soldering that chip to it so no way that one. Really? It works great on my phone
Does it work better on 4/4k or is it just all around bad on Apple TV
Works better on 4/4K, as for 4K, if its not updated to 13, a modchip isn't required
Oh didnโt realize that, Iโll have to keep an eye out for one then hard to find iOS versions. When I was looking for a 4 and Iโd ask iOS version I had a lot of people saying itโs boxed up sorry
Well, you can guess based on the manufacturer code on the box, but asking for iOS on an Apple TV will raise odd eyebrows as Apple TV uses tvOS
Wait, you said I can downgrade? I have a 3,2 on 7.5 and would like a jailbreak but there isn't one on that version
Yes, downgrading to 7.4 is still possible.
just plug in and use iTunes (lower than catalina) or Finder (on catalina or higher)
@sharp quail
Hmm interesting
@fleet parcel lol I meant tvOS, how do you tell 3,2 or 3,1
Canโt find answer on google
Itโs a 1427
For your Apple TV?
Ya
3,1
Howโd you know lol
@zenith inlet make sure to download the 3,1 ipsw
you've got the early 2012 model which still works with the jailbreak
you can download it from http://ipsw.me
Download current and previous versions of Apple's iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS and audioOS firmware and receive notifications when new firmwares are released.
@fleet parcel sweet thank you
@fleet parcel I renamed the zip I got from ipsw.me to an ipsw but iTunes is saying it's imcompatible
@sharp quail Did you download the OTA?
Yeah
Oh alright
just the regular ipsw is all you need
@fleet parcel how do I know if I want 12h885 or 876
876 is 7.4 whereas 885 is 7.5 which is currently unjailbreakable @zenith inlet
Does it matter on my actual tv model or just software wise
Oh wait I have 8.4.4 885 so no jailbreak
software wise. all models are jbable
Oh so if I just download the 876 and Install Iโm ok?
yup
Hmm seems to good to be true lol thanks again
Ideas?
@zenith inlet Depends on how you're typing it in
I do:
Ok Iโll try that, side note can iPhones not connect to the 3 to be remote?
It just says searching, I liked it better then the remote for my parents 4
Was nice when couldnโt find the remote in the couch cushions lol
although, bluetooth keyboards work
Still says same thing as the first pic
There we go weird it disconnected and forgot the password even though it was hooked up before
Hmm I think I am but could only choose settings or home sharing I turned on home sharing and it wants me to enable in iTunes..... I donโt have iTunes on Catalina
Oh ok gunna try that now and do the untether
Donโt I need to so I can move it to my tv? Itโs plugged in at computer right now
As long as you can SSH in, just join the party and it'll be all set
What do you mean join the party
Read the pin.
I see so Iโm guessing you need to ssh to do that tho
Yes
Sweet thanks seems to be working 2/3 21%
@fleet parcel boom done thanks for all your help! And showing me pin posts never new about them before haha
No worries
It normal for nito to crash when trying to move to the manage tab? It hits weather and respring
Ok just making sure I did it right, and Iโll keep that in mind
Hey @fleet parcel any advantages or disadvantages updating my Apple TV 4 from 12.2 Chimera to latest one 13.1 (i think) and use Checkra1n instead?
Uhh.. Are you on a 4/HD? Or 4K?
Latest version is 13.4 and it gives you a control center. If you'd like all the bells and whistles, you can update. However you can also use checkra1n on 12.2 if you'd like.
Not sure if you recall me mentioning AppStore issues that I had? I partially resolved problem by changing my country in accounts settings but soonest I go back to United Kingdom same problem occurs - doesnโt make a difference if Iโm logged in with an account or not lol
Thatโs why Iโm considering to update
Yeah I know
I was even having problems playing my Apple (iTunes Match) music - Not Playing
Resolved that one but AppStore still same crap -.-
Iโm still able to download apps off a different country but you know, itโs quite annoying lol
Yeah, well, go ahead if you'd like
I was just looking at the new feature of control centre - not many differences tbh
Itโs alright bu I donโt see the purpose of that - airplay is enabled on default with Apple TVโs anyways
And it says you can have multiple users..
@fleet parcel my only concern is can I still get NitoTV if on Checkra1n as usual? Any tweaks that donโt work?
NitoTV comes with checkra1n...
That's like asking will cydia/sileo come with uncover or chimera
Iโm not going to do it anytime soon anyways because to be honest I havenโt got a computer that supports Checkra1n- only got a surface pro 2 and a surface pro 4 which both only have 1 USB port and besides that they both have combined controllers so USB Passthrough wouldnโt work - donโt matter if Iโm using KVM Linux/MacOS Catalina or bootra1n, soonest in DFU computer stops seeing device -.-
That's like asking will cydia/sileo come with uncover or chimera
@fleet parcel well Checkra1n didnโt have Cydia to start with
Thatโs why I asked but fair enough ๐
Yes it did.
Did it?
Yup, came with a loader
Ah thatโs it
Inside the loader, it gives you cydia
Yeah youโre right I confused it with people not able to successfully install Cydia right at the start soz!
No worries, ppl get confused with checkm8 and checkra1n
They be like: noope! Just pwn dfu
Thatโs cool thanks mate, like I said, not going to do it anytime soon but itโs good to be sure
๐ค๐ป

Oh I thought you might be interested in this method I found to get ReProvision and Chimera on Apple TV 4
Used a signing service to sideload ChimeraTV, jailbroken. Installed ReProvision, Airdropped ChimeraTV using an iPhone and signed on Apple TV using ReProvision.
You then got x2 ChimeraTV apps working but if you want you can remove Profile and keep only ReProvision ChimeraTV
@fleet parcel You might already be aware of this method but here you go โ๐ป
bundle ID? Is that on the IPA?
but the one issue i see is: Used a signing service ๐คฆ
Yeah I know thatโs the problem when you havenโt got a Mac ^^
not nessesarily; it can be emulated
Iโve tried but was having problems allocating memory to the main partition - Catalina on Linux KVM
Therefore I couldnโt install Xcode
just need to configure the KVM
as for Xcode, it can be installed externally, you only need like 20 GBs for that and a flash drive will do justice
takes longer, but it works
just set the download target to the usb drive and extract it on the drive
i'd use an HDD/SDD for that, unless you've got a 80GB flash
Yeah Iโve got a 128 GB Flash about
mac is the same with windows in regards to apps, you can install them on anything and it'll work
How do I set the download target to the usb drive btw?
it varies by browser. For Safari, its in Preferences -> General under File Download Location:
I tried installing straight from AppStore
I just checked on my installations folder and Iโve got Xcode 11.3 already downloaded
7.6 GB
So Iโve got the .xip, how do I get it to install on the USB?
Just extract to USB and job done?
put the .xip on the flash drive, then just extract it
Ah right Iโll give it a go man, thanks - sorry for the silly questions but as you can see got no experience on macOS at all
I understand, but this is equivalent to windows
Yeah never seen it this way lol
You know what Apple is like a lot of times places silly limitations
they do that for our protection
๐๐ป
It is possible to port iOS games to Apple TV ?
@foggy bobcat yes
@fleet parcel like map a keyboard and mouse to a game
@fleet parcel something like tvOS version of sideload launcher
If the game was programmed in such a way to accept third party peripherals, that could be possible
@fleet parcel no I mean emulate touch with keyboard and mouse
Work right out the box
Ah, i dunno. Maybe? ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Keyboard, sure. Mouse? Doubt it unless there was a tweak/update to support that
Maybe, or even add the mouse within tvOS as it works with iOS
I know a lot of android boxes have some type of mouse support
Yeah
But it's super janky
But you can play like that
It's almost as bad as the Wii
Where you gotta point at the screen..

However, to get that working on the UI, you'd have to get that recognized within the app too, or else you'll be fighting with issues
@fleet parcel I just got my PS4 dual shock remote delivered (2 weeks later ffs). Got it connected through nControl but remote ainโt doing anything, any ideas?
Is it possible that the AppleTV remote itโs causing issues?
Nvm @fleet parcel I canโt believe it! They sent me a monkey controller - sending it back ๐คฌ
Lol I'm thoroughly confused @grand ingot
If you get the vendor number, it can be added to nControl
Iโm so fucked off I though I was doing something wrong but turns out to be a fake
I paired it via nControl
But itโs not working
Yeah, probably because nControl doesn't recognize the type
Exactly that
Which can; be included
NControl spits out a log on your device. That log consists of the vendor number, serial, connection type etc.
If that logs submitted to KB, it might be possible to get it working
How long would it take to get it working?
Depends on how busy he is
But it seems like a good idea now since he's working on updates for it
Alright I can give it a shot, how can I do that?
If you don't wanna wait, buy a ds4 controller at Wal-Mart
Can't trust online merchants when there's millions of knockoffs
Iโm in he Uk lol
But yeah I see what ur saying
I mean, Iโve waited 2 weeks, worth it waiting a bit longer?
How can I send the log to KB?
Yeah thatโs for sure
I'll take a look and pass it on to kb
Just the log
Where do I find it?
Alright
yeah got it
/private/var/logs/controllersupport-Error.log
/private/var/logs/controllersupport.log
/private/var/logs/nitostartup.log
/private/var/logs/nitostartup-Error.log
@fleet parcel
Any of these?
All of them
Found it
Accidentally deleted all files in my Downloads folder while trying something in terminal. Guessing theres no way to get files back but does there happen to be a log or file that showed what was in the folder? Asking for ios technically but thought itd be good to know where to look on appletv too
for deleted files
Crap deleted all my safari tabs and app logins too. Fml
And cydia sources..
@jaunty rune what were you trying to do?
Any suggestion to successfully jb with bootra1n (ATV4, tvOS13.4)?? Been trying at least 5-6 times with each of the USB ports of the pc without luck (Graphics safe mode)
@silk rivet depends on what you're using
@silk rivet depends on what you're using
@fleet parcel
Latest version of bootra1n (0.10.1).
ATV4 (tvOS 13.4)
USB-C to USB-A cable
512MB pendrive to execute bootra1n in Graphics safe mode
Donโt know if you are referring to some other thing
I always get error -77
Hmmm, try running Linux from USB
Thatโs how iโm doing it. Running bootra1n from USB drive
512 MB usb drive???
No, i mean just Linux
512 MB usb drive???
@robust token Hahaha. I know... ๐๐
you probably couldn't install a full linux distro live cd on that usb drive
@robust token that is Linux yes, but a modified version of it
what do you mean by a modified version of linux
all distros are a modified version of linux
I understand that, what i mean is that it's pre-set by a script
So i should get better success rate running Linux from a VM?
no
So, running a live version of linux and launching checkra1n may fix it
vm's don' thave the same interface for usb
