there might not ever be one and if so it'll be a long time
@silk rivet hackintosh?
windows does usb much differently. it's easier to port from macos (based on unix) to linux because of the similatrities
i guess if you can find a bigger usb drive you can try a full linux distro like manjaro
or ubuntu
@silk rivet hackintosh?
@fleet parcel I tried that back in the day and i messed up really bad. I might give a try again
Or go to the Apple store and use their Macs
Or go to the Apple store and use their Macs
@fleet parcel hahahaha. That would be sweet. However, as long as I unplugg the ATV I would be back at the start point, right?
that's true
I’ll explore the full linux approach
Yeah, I'm thinking semi untethered
Hopefully that will increase the success rate
DFU through the remote
You have to hold down the buttons for exactly 7 seconds or it'll skip checking the device status and attempt to exploit
i wonder if there's a way to add a usb-c to the apple tv 4k so you can jb
oh cool
You have to hold down the buttons for exactly 7 seconds or it'll skip checking the device status and attempt to exploit
@fleet parcel I managed to run checkra1n, got to the booting part and then always ended on error ~77
That means there was an issue with the device
Did you run through recovery and select "untested"?
Did you run through recovery and select "untested"?
@fleet parcel I do not recall doing that. Would it help?
no harm in trying
If you're on 13.4.. Yup
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.
Ok, thx. I’ll give a try with bootra1n and if I am encountering the same error again I’ll give full Linux a try
I think official support for 13.4 has been added on the lastest version of checkra1n (0.10.1)
did it work?
Anyway I’ll give a try to your suggestions @fleet parcel @robust token . Thank you 😉
It has for compatibility checks, but the untested version would help
Here's how mine works for checkra1n:
Go into recovery mode via checkra1n app, enter DFU when prompt, status exploits, error -32.. wait, wait, status retires and heads to "checking device status" then errors -32, wait, wait, wait, "exploiting" "booting" done
Thanks for the info. I’ll see what I get
@analog elk have you tried installing yourControl?
@haughty thorn I've found a way of installing other beta profiles to tvOS. The tweak works with iOS (unknown of what firmwares) but for tvOS, I was able to get WatchOS on 13.4. It'll be uploaded to the repo soon. https://twitter.com/Joshblah555/status/1255556242430234624?s=20
nice!
This should be more beneficial to 4K users who aren't on 13.
@fleet parcel in terminal i was trying to run command that would convert zip files to 7z. But instead it just deleted everything
Ooh? @jaunty rune what command was that? I'm curious.
Lol im sure it says itll delete things in terminal speak. Let me find it
For f in *zip; do rm -rf *;
unzip ../"$f"; zip -r ../"$f" *; cd ..; done
Think thats the one that did it. I tried a bunch of diff ones
Think started with #!/bin/bash
Just wish there was a log or something of past safari downloads. Thankfully found just that for my safari tabs
Ah yes, that's a script expression
Happen to know the right one? Not that it matters anymore Lol.
I'm more concerned for the aftermath. Need help?
In the way that your sources are deleted, among other things gone too...
Yah any help is wanted
It also deleted retroarch asset files. When i opened the app it was as if it was fresh install
Ah, that's an easy recovery
Yah that was bare bones anyway as i mainly use atv version
Just curious that was one of the things affected
What jailbreak/device/firmware was the issue inflicted?
Unc0ver 12.4 iphone7
Ooh ok, not too shabby
I don't see why not restore root fs then just re-jailbreak
That'll be the quick way
Unless you want to spend hours sifting through every little detail
I thought about doing that but wasnt sure what exactly itd accomplish?
Device isnt acting up or anything.
As far as i can tell
What about your sources?
Well the default ones are there
Main thing right now is just somehow finding a list of my past downloads. Found safari tab list, thought maybe thered be a similar file for downloads.
And so restore rootfs would be easier than just re-adding the sources to cydia?
If all of them were gone
If all, yes
Yah thankfully seems the default ones are there and working.
I mean; others might contradict, but I'd hate typing everything out..
Sorry, you mean typing out your sources?
Typing out all sources
Ah yah no worries im good on the cydia front i think
Guess ill just have to go through my entire safari history and tabs list to find the stuff i downloaded.. cue 3 days later meme
If you've got a mac, they'll be there on your iCloud
Somewhat
Think that safari download icloud option is ios13 only
Nah, your history is there
Maybe that too?
Maybe there would be download history?
But so ur saying i wouldnt find that on my pc icloud?
Everything is just out of reach i swear lol. Anyways, thanks for trying to help appreciate it
Just wish there was some kind of log somewhere that shows what was deleted
Maybe within terminal?
that's why you need to always be careful with rm
Thankfully it was in an area that wouldn't do a whole lot of damage...
^^
Yup. Well was in a subfolder but that deleted without me knowing when ran diff version of the script
Shouldnt have messed around without knowing for sure
Which btw still need to learn for future reference. If its even possible
Hey folks been out of the jailbreak loop for a few months now since impactor got broken, what is being used these days to get chimera/unc0ver on atv to jailbreak?
@left falcon Read the pin
@fleet parcel Device: ATV 4 Firmware(tvOS): 12.4
but to summerize your question, macOS or VM (if using windows). More details can be found here: http://joshtv.net/Guides/sideload.html
@left falcon
@fleet parcel very much appreciated thank you, don't own a mac unfortunately, will have to find a MacOS VM. Guessing Cydia Impactor is still broken and no other similar alternative currently available
Cydia Impactor is finicky in certain areas. It works well with a paid developer account, but as far as sideloading, Xcode would be the only alternative for the Apple TV.
roger that thnx
Is it worth to jailbreak my Apple TV 4K? Never jailbroken one of those before so im unsure about tvOS jailbreaking
do you have the tools and experience for soldering on a device to your apple tv so it can be jailbroken?
or someone you trust that does
@tropic stirrup what tvOS is it running?
@tropic stirrup definitely
what do you even do on a jailbroken apple tv?
i'm somewhat confident i could solder that device thingy
@robust token The answer to that question is in the pin
indeed
as simple as soldering is, i don't want to do it on a $180 device
180.. that's cheap
not something i wanna pay for in the off chance i mess something up
well, if you own a 4k, stay away from 13
*tvOS 13
not all of them
more than likely, the 4K device will have 12.x
if 13, then its a newly manufactured 4K
because after 12.4, there will be no semi-untethered jailbreak
well guess i'm past that
yup..
i mean also i'd have to solder the device thingy on
So if you ever wish to jailbreak it, soldering is your only hope
no
with 12.4, you can sideload the app to the device, no USB required
USB just makes it easier
soldering isn't difficult it's just i don't want the tiny chance of breaking something
honestly, the odds of you breaking it is not as great as you think
i know
but
if i do
what will i do
i have some old solder my dad had and i might test it out rn
because idk if it's leaded or lead free
well, lead would work too
leaded is better
just don't use it with the pins 3, 4, or 5
how come
because that's USB connectivity that's already pre-soldered
oh
and mixing alloys will spell trouble for the future
yeah
what if you just removed the solder on those pins and added leaded
i got some desoldering braid
Hell, if you had some solder paste and low heat , you could skip soldering and just attach the wire as is
i don't have solder paste or a hot air station
oh well
but yeah, 350 degrees and a fine tip will do the trick
350 c?
yeah
F would be like 500
325 c = 617 F
yeah, im off
i tried soldering at 280 but it just wasn't really as fast as 325
it worked just not instantly
280 you'll get cold joints
yeah
most solder has flux in it
yeah, but it burns fast
not if you solder by heating the joint, then adding solder
20CC of flux will keep it warm without worrying about excessive heat
just gotta tin the wire first, then add it to the joint
what is cc
cubic centimeter
huh
feels like that response should have a ?
yes
lol
i was imagining a cube with 20 cc volume on your joint
@tropic stirrup yes
With what can i jailbreak it with? checkra1n?
I just did. Never think about the pins lol
So there is absolute no other way than a breakup cable? To jailbreak 4K
nope. Not if you're on 13.x
Aight 👍
Found it
@fleet parcel did you forward the logs to KB in the end? (-:
@tropic stirrup i have
Updates will be launched soon, can't guarantee anything, but it might work
@fleet parcel What do you have?
... In terms of controllers? @tropic stirrup
Wdym?
you said u had something
and pinged me
@tropic stirrup i have
@fleet parcel this
lol
Maybe you meant to ping me
I have
Updates will be launched soon, can't guarantee anything, but it might work
@fleet parcel
Meh...
@tropic stirrup ah yes, meant to ping @grand ingot and my keyboard glitched...
Meant to say " I have" in response to "did you forward logs to KB"
Brilliant thanks mate 👍🏻
Oh okay lol
im going to try and pay more attention to the rooms i have over in this discord again now. sorry. was juggling too much for so long that these rooms got neglected. appreciate @fleet parcel and any one else who has helped hold it down for me 🙂
havent read the backlog yet because im crashing in a minute. just wanted to say that.
@fleet parcel Does ATV 4k jb work for 13.0 without breakout box?
no
@livid warren now i see why you changed your name. 
@fleet parcel I was just asking... I haven’t been on this server in forever
No worries @livid warren jk
yes
@rigid obsidian don't think it works that way, but good luck!
Pretty sure they were joking
lulz
Wait the 3,2 isn’t jailbreakable?
What version is supposed?
12H876
Download current and previous versions of Apple's iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS and audioOS firmware and receive notifications when new firmwares are released.
you can with a keyboard
they've kept them for saftey
There we go
did you plug in with both usb and power?
Weird the new version is also labeled as 8.4.3
indeed, its a minor update
I'll lose control center from iOS
I know
I will no longer be able to control it from CC
And I doubt someone could backport it
How do I restore with an IPSW
Also my USB and HDMI cable are thin enough that I can have both attached
you'll have to option+click the restore button
then you can pick and choose which IPSW to use
Restoring
👍
What about the idea of backporting stuff from the update?
backporting would be more difficult on older gens than newer
How does the Apple TV 3rd gen work app wise?
Not the same as modern apps work
Obviously
So, there's no app store, you get what's included
anything extra is installed via SSH
you could, of course, join the party (check the pin)
Does touch to setup not work anymore?
touch setup? like one-click done?
yes, a controller or bluetooth keyboard will work
Ok touch works on my iPad but not my iPhone X
It worked once
oof
I’ll be in voice
You don't have a mic?
rip mic
What is the username to root into the apple TV
join the party
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!!
@fleet parcel @somber ivy
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (2: No such file or directory)
E: Unable to lock the list directory
/var/lib/ doesn't exist
Restore the Apple TV, rejailbreak, then type the above commands
Shit
On the 4th gen Apple TV can you plug a USB adapter in the USB C port and have it work?
You haven't tried?
nah, all my cables were legit, no shortcuts
I didn't mean for JB but for USB devices
Like a USB keyboard
imagines using an Apple TV as a firewall
unfortunatly, the biggest "boo" is Apple taking away such port on the 4K
Someone did...
hence the breakout board
USB-C is the modern form of speed and durability for most cables nowadays
Oh because the new macs don't have USB A
Though for something like a diagnostic port it doesn't make sense
The cost for a USB C compared to Micro B is pretty big
When you scale it up to the volume of Apple
for a diag port, they're usually not made for common usb types
micro is more common than C
Installing now
At the time, USB C was introduced
attached via solder
I mean on the ethernet port
solder
like how would you access the hidden port without soldering it?
The hidden port is on the ethernet connector
a connector is made for it.. its specific for apple
but not easy to operate, you'd need technical knowledge
Obviously

https://gizmite.com/shop/apple-tv-4k-hacks/apple-tv-standard-breakout-cable/
is that where you get the thing for the 4k? or is there somewhere else that isnt on backorder
@zenith inlet yes and also the link in the pin too
oh yes the pins forgot about those thank you @fleet parcel
no usb connection doesn't work
if you plug things into it like hubs or wired controllers or whatever you are trying
could it work? probably. will it ever? maybe. thats about the best i got for ya 😛
i definitely want it to work. its all about if i can convince the people necessary to care enough to do it. its a bit outside of my wheelhouse at the moment.
that will /probably/ require kext loading. which is entirely possible having something like checkra1n available. theres some issues with kextloading regarding symbols that i dont remember all the details on (i've brought this topic up before with the other checkra1n devs) its all almost certainly doable.
but it will likely require a pretty solid amount of work.
might require AFC2
Hi nitoTV. I hate to bother you, but I want to ask you about a nitoTV bug. Currently running nitoTV on a ATV4 (1080p) device, jailbroken though checkra1n on iOS 13.3 and 13.4. The initial jailbreak and nitoTV always install properly, however updating nitoTV always leads to failed boot. If I try to rejailbreak in checkra1n, it always hangs on Booting.... step. The only fix is a DFU restore. Things work fine if I don't update nitoTV, so I suspect it is one of the nitoTV updates. Do you have any leads on what the issue might be. I'm happy to provide more info or do testing. Thanks!
@runic fossil yes, please provide more info...
What other info can I provide that would be helpful? Sorry, this is my first ATV device, so I'm not sure how to get any diagnostics. If you can point in the right direction, I would be oblige.
info such as what method of checkra1n are you using (mac, linux) which tvOS (can't be both 13.3 and 13.4) and what options have you selected in checkra1n?
I've used checkra1n 0.9.8.2 and 0.10.1-beta on MAC with USB-C cable. The ATV device originally had tvOS 13.3 and the issue existed. I've updated to tvOS 13.4 and issue persists.
When the bug triggers, I've set SAFE MODE in checkra1n to see if it would at least work with that option, but it still fails on the "Booting..." step
If I don't run the nitoTV updates, it appears to work for a while but then fail after a few days (might be autoupdate kicking in, even though I disable tat)
with 10.1, use "Untested version" but before doing so, I'd recommend doing a full restore prior. After that, once you're jailbroken, neglect the updates and install CrashReporter, then let it update. If/When it fails, launch CrashReporter and send the log files through here. You can transfer them via AirDrop
Understood. Let me do this and report back with a CrashReporter log. Thank you.
Did a brand new install of tvOS 13.4, ran checkra1n 10.1-beta, have nitoTV installed, installed CrashReporter. Did all updates, and so far... no crashes or checkra1n failures... I'll run it for a few days and see if it stays that way ; D
By the way, what's the proper way of preventing tvOS from auto-updating and nagging to update?
👍
turn off auto-updates in settings and turn on Disable Updates in nitoTV
you can also install the MCPatchTV from my repo and install the WatchOS profile to your Apple TV
I thought that no longer works? Let me try it : )
You must be Josh. I appreciate all your help.
Ah cool. Thanks again 👍
Ummm dumb question - how do I get the WatchOS profile onto the ATV?
On iOS I load it from MobileSafari.. not sure on tvOS
...2/2
Installing the WatchOS beta can be done by following the method below. However, the link has been changed to - http://joshtv. net/profile.mobileconfig
Another method is to use Apple Configurator.
Thank you
@fleet parcel do you know if kodi's settings preserved if I update it?
cheers 😉
is /var/mobile safe to write files to?
Yes
Thanks!
I'd like to try updating kodi to one of the nightly builds.
Is dpkg -i kodi.deb run from /var/mobile going to update kodi safely?
anyone able to get ps2 or gamecube emulator? Im running 4k with checkra1n. Retroarch shows a ps2 core and it says it downloads but i dont see it show anywhere
@frigid moat it doesn't matter where you run that command from. It all depends on how the .deb file was packaged.
In your case, i wouldnt trust that seeing as how both you and I don't know what that installs. Best to install it via nitoTV
@fleet parcel are nightly kodi builds available in nitoTV? I haven't found a repo with them.
All Kodi builds on both repos are nightly.
Ah thanks. Hmm... I might have to investigate things a little more.
over on kodi forum I was recommended to update kodi for a newer version of an inbuilt plugin that is experiencing some issues. I'm on the latest version from JoshTV repo but the plugin isn't reporting as being the latest available version 🤷
I haven't updated Kodi yet 
@fleet parcel did you see my message about ps2 or gamecube? may be out of your realm but im not sure where else to go
❤️
@daring basin i did. I know retroarch is wip, but I'll look into it. Have you tried provenance?
yeah i checked it but no PS2 or gamecube. Thanks for looking into it, when going to Update Cores it shows "play!" a ps2 core and you can hit download and it shows it downloads but thats it. I googled for the same file and manually put it on and tried to load that .dylib and it crashed Retroarch
Yeah, I'll 👀 whats up
@frigid moat updates launched, go ahead and install on nitoTV
thanks! ❤️
@fleet parcel I see KB released an update for nControl. But I still don’t have support over the “monkey” PS4 dual shock controller. Any ideas?
what is a “monkey” dual shock?? @grand ingot
AKA - ripoff
oh
yeh if they use the vid and pid but dont send data in the same format as expected thatd be a pretty nasty challenge to support
it does send data, but gets scrambled again with 'generic' code
@fleet parcel @desert hawk yeah I meant a rip-off
yeh if it doesnt already work then they do something differently and wrong
I thought Josh gave you the logs for it but after updating still nothing
i shouldnt need logs. if ots supposed to work like a ds4 i shouldnt need to do anything at all to support it. if they dont use the same descriptor as sony then they are doing it wrong and im shocked it worls anywhere at all tbh
you can send the descriptpr agaim amd i can do a comparison. i dont know where those particular logs went tho
No worries I’ll send them shortly
k
@grand ingot ftr: I did, but it wasn't much of a help
Yeah I know you did
@desert hawk
Let me know if it’s showing the files in link above
Thanks for that @fleet parcel just seen your msg
I wonder what went wrong 🤔
You just got that out of my mouth! 😂
yep they modified the report descriptor. what a bunch of idiots lol
if you are going to make a knockoff, u make that shit identical when it comes to IO
thats rule #1
although input report 1 should be identical so it SHOULD've still worked. yeh im not sure ill be able to help support that
Meh
refund.. ask Sony for their official one
i mean a recent change i made to attemmpt to work around issues similar to this one (repeat vid/pid for different controllers) COULD potentially work but the problem with the PS4 controller (and i assume the knockoff is no different) is they are chatty as hell
and filtering out that data to get to the stuff we need when i go through my current process would be excruciating
Don’t worry man
It’s going back to the seller and I’ll get an official one this time
i mean part of me wants to do it because i know its possible and im sure there are more knockoffs like this floating around
Wish I knew it was a knockoff! -.-
not worth it imo, one rip-off support will be a dime a dozen
this is the normal descriptor

Yeah exactly that not worth wasting your time on this lol
430 bytes vs 356
There’s some more to it
report 1 should be the same, so im actually surprised it doesnt 'just work'
it's too bad that software can't pick up on unknown controller entities and just add them in on their own
the ONLY thing i could think of, is the report is actually longer than the one im used to but still in the same format just with more junk bytes at the end
if THATS the case it'd actually be a relatively easy fix
Is that I’ll give it a go? Lol
ill add one extra log to the console to see if thats the case. itll only take me a moment ot roll a custom build with that test in it
so give me a second
or.. somehow simulate PnP much like Windows or Mac, just plug it in and it downloads the necessary config and files to make it readable and work
nice one
actually wait
What
nah
Nope
oh
12.2
okay
That 😄
yeh then this is applicable, continue holding pplease
Alright cheers
holding music
or.. somehow simulate PnP much like Windows or Mac, just plug it in and it downloads the necessary config and files to make it readable and work
@fleet parcel that would be amazing ^^
dare to dream..
Oh yeah
maybe nControl version 3
@gentle ginkgo i mean ideally id parse the HID report descriptors and iw ouldnt need to do any of the manual work i do. but parsing them is more challenging than what im already doing lol. its on the future plan list for sure tho.
@desert hawk wrong ping
oops
damnit ya'll gotta stop having such similar names with minor differences like that
lol
meh, oh well
got knows what China did there to get this working with PS4 lol
okay on my way to start a return lol
probably the same bluetooth protocol, but different programing
cause i have a ds4 clone and it was working with ps4, but mac was like... "huh?"
not just copyright but also intellectual property
right
Hey do toy by any chance know if the dual shock v2 works with nControl or shall I ping KB? 😛
😛
gunna wait for nControl to have key mapping so I can ping Siri when i press the trackpad button
that's a good idea
v2 has more lights and different colours ie low health is orange, full health green. R1 & R2 more responsive (quicker), more battery life and also compatible with USB.
question is, is it worth the price tag?
Roomba?
£60 vs £35
Connect a controller to a roomba????
😆
you need a pretty smooth floor
and the price tag ouch
well if you got a ps4 remote you can play with it now you know lol
Like in my place I've got carpet in many places
Yeah but what about when there's a threshold - changing from carpet to wood/tiles
hardwood > carpet
impressive! I guess they've improved them little robots 😄
Yes
Also the one I have can automatically empty it’s bin into the base which has a bigger bag that you replace every few months or so
only con is the price 😄
I guess so
is it possible to jailbreak apple tv 4th gen tcOS 13.4 with checkra1n?
Thank you! Sorry I should've read it before 🙂
I think the pin needs to be updated
The site should be checkra.1n/
I mean it shouldn't be that
no it's checkra.in
oh
yea the pin has it with "1" and it should be with an "i"
where
on the pinned message
i found it
yep
hello, when I put the user anon it passes me the password and won't let me write it
can the apple TV 4k be jailbroken ?
and what are the benefits of jailbreaking an apple TV ?
I plan to buy one
@grand pasture read the pin
@pulsar cloak the password works, you just can't see it
Is there a Working wii/GameCube emulator for tv os?
Something like dolphins emulator
Yes/no
@pulsar cloak stop crossposting
yeah i would like to know if there’s a realitivley way to jailbreak apple tv 4k bc i know there’s no usb c but i have a 4k tv so it makes sense to get that one
*easy
thank u
@trim frigate the answer you seek in the FAQ posted on the pin
thank u man
so there’s no way to do it without a breakout, i should’ve been more specific.
Not available to the public; no.
cheers
is it worth it to get the apple tv 4 over the apple tv 5 just for the easier jailbreak? keep in mind i have a 4k tv
@trim frigate yes
@fleet parcel PS4 controller arrived and it’s working out of the box 😂 now gonna explore the games 😁
@grand ingot You'll like Quake 😉
how can I get that one 😄
Same place you got Doom
Cool on it now 😉
there's 4 of 'em
Sorry got dragged doing other stuff!
'tis ok
Just downloaded quake tv but for some reason not working?
I mean it actually loads but not moving at all..
You may have to re-pair the controller
some apps have difficulties reading nControl for some odd reason
re-pair, kill the app, repeat. It'll work @grand ingot
would like to get a copy of the latest nControl, but don't have it to test
Yeah
It’s working now you were right
I thought it was the controller but nControl its a bit glitchy atm
Like sometimes arrows not working or left thumb stick on honesceeen
But soonest I get into a game boom it works..
Damn Quake it’s sensitive!
yeah, still need to adjust that
But overall?
I think it’s awesome
N64 games too
I mean, you got an Apple TV? That’s it you’re pretty much covered, you can do everything but multiplayer
Might sound silly this question Josh but how on earth do I check how much storage I’ve got available on my Apple TV 4?
Coming soon 😉 @grand ingot
Oh nice
That’s a good idea 💡
In the meanwhile is there a command I can hit where it’ll tell available/total?
df -h
It's also pleasing to see a hand reveal 
Hahahah
Didn’t see that
mac is command shift 4
Oh for some reason I’m using discord on my phone
Otherwise I would’ve just hit WIN+printscrn
but yeah, seeing as the app data is transferred in /var/ theres no way you'll fill it up any time soon
Super awesome I thought I’d have something like a couple of Gb’s left
although, it is possible to transfer 11 GB from / to /var
I completely forgot my device was 32 gb’s
although, it is possible to transfer 11 GB from / to /var
Isn’t pretty much all jailbrake stuff going into /var?
yes because its stashed
I bought an appleTV 4K yesterday, can it be jailbroken without soldering / opening it?
@grand pasture what tvOS is it on?
13.3 (17K449)
@grand pasture answer to your question: no
Paid it cheaper than the HD
ironically; you'll be paying more to jb it 😛
So let’s wait one year
fine, wait a year and get stuck with it 😉
yes, just takes more time/money/effort to do so
I don’t need to pay 100$ to jb it
@grand pasture Without the right tools.. maybe
i have a solderinhg station
as do i
epic
following me i see? 😉
I think I do have the material
Except the “cable”
It’s a standard Torx7 to open the box
you'll need solder, a temp controlled iron, wiring and a patients
what if it's just a soldering iron
that doesn't have temp controls
i assume the tv just blows up
not recommended..
haha
you'll fry it
i saw a video on soldering iron life hacks
my favorite is melting hot glue with a soldering iron (and burning it in the process because it wasn't temp controlled)
anyone know of a jailbreak detection bypass for ABC iView app on apple tv?
or any generic jailbreak bypass for that measure
That's a new one... the whole app locks up upon playback when jailbroken 🤔
which app?
@fleet parcel https://apps.apple.com/au/app/abc-iview/id401778175
@haughty thorn Yup 13.4.5 is good.
ty
👍
the upcoming unc0ver jailbreak won’t cover tvOS 13, correct?
@molten otter Aussie, yeah.
I've never seen JB detection make an app go completely unresponsive before 
^working on it
hi is there a good link with a guide on how to Jailbreak Apple TV 3
found it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/comments/et1tkt/news_a_jailbreak_has_been_released_for_the_apple/
you can look at this message https://discordapp.com/channels/349243932447604736/688125177820610598/690695048479899649
ok thank you
it explains most of the stuff
great that i got some response 🙂
😄 🙂
So .. for a normal appletv user, would there really be any huge benefits to jailbreaking an appletv 4? Or is it still really more for just developers to try to get tweaks developed for it?
here is 2 quite good links
@chrome radish
still people know more here that have done it on the Apple TV 4
I guess a starter question (that I can probably find out if I looked deeper) is it something that you have issues with if the appletv goes to sleep, having to re-jb, or only if you power cycle it? (Just assuming it's not an untethered jb)
yes got a link from @astral marten 🙂
@chrome radish read the pin
I’m thinking about investing in an Apple TV 4, would it be worthwhile with jailbreaking?
Yes.
I’m gonna assume that it can be easily jailbreaked since it has an A8
Oh, thank you! I’m on mobile and couldn’t see the pins
no worries
🙂
we're not allowed to discuss that last thing. actually I thought that phrase was filtered 🤔
@autumn talon Rule 3
lol mb
how do you ssh into a jailbroken tv with your jailbroken iphone?
@mild vigilssh root@APPLE_TV_IP_ADDRESS
This may not be ready at the same time as iOS but you can update your AppleTV 4K if you want to make sure it’s on the latest firmware. https://t.co/cdrLVM9sY8

Unc0ver for TVOS
quick question my apple tv is on 6.2.1 which jailbreak do i choose?
@subtle fractal quick question to answer your quick question; Apple TV 2?
ok thanks alot
apparantly i have conflicting software running and doesn't work
What software are you using?
im using the latest seasonpass
no, i mean your rig
i have loads of stuff running in the background but im on windows 10
latest i think i got it from windows store today
oh any ideas whats causing the conflict, is there a list of conflicting programs
even with everything turned off i still get the error
i might have to try on my mac. but then i wont be able to boot tethered
what error is it? screenshot?
says theres conflicting programs
would love to see a pic of that error
did you change out your itunes?
i have tried without and with
when you reveal yourself as a clown 
how the fuck do I pass an hour 40 till unc0ver gets released
is it just me again or are we not able to update once jailbroken without resetting the atv?
nvm I guess restoring rootfs helped
Yes
Does that new kernal bypass method work for ATV 4K like how it worked for all iOS 13.5 devices?
Trying to decide if I should update my ATV 4K
@small flower if you're talking about the jailbreak 0day.. Yes
Thanks, yes I was referring to that
Sounds like I can make the jump, though this means having to wait for Chimera update (highly unlikely) or have to do the breakout board method for checkra1n (more likely but irreversible)?
If you own a 4K, and you're on 11 or 12, by all means update.
If you're on 13, you can stay (or update, your choice).
If you find 11 or 12 working smoothly, then you may stay and use u0. But just make sure you Restore RootFS prior (instructions to do this in the pin).
If you've got the breakout cable installed and working, update as you wish.
I am on 12 with Chimera but I am finding 12 to be less smooth than 11 and thus want to update to 13 after seeing how smooth it is on iOS
Hmm, well if you want you can update, or you can unjailbreak and use u0 instead
how can i go about updating while jailbroken with chimera?
@toxic rose in the pin
http://joshtv.net/Guides/unjailbreak.html leads to a 404 page
@fleet parcel I am also getting these messages from your website
The requested URL "[no URL]", is invalid.
Reference #9.8de51cb8.1590285854.64abc59 ```
(yes I am unjailbreaking cos I want to have a fresh slate before moving to tvOS 13)
Yeah, I'll get that back up in a bit @small flower
Thanks!
@small flower There, back up live
Thank you, will work on it after lunch
@tacit egret Yes
If you own a 4K, and you're on 11 or 12, by all means update.
If you're on 13, you can stay (or update, your choice).

@tacit egret
It’s still using the old chimera lol
At last!
The same unc0ver 5.0 is for xs Max and tvOS?
I’m trying to use Season pass to jailbreak Apple TV 6.2 and I cannot put it in dry mode
All tuturials don’t help
I’m thinking of jail breaking my Apple TV 4 however not sure if I should update from 13.4 to 13.4.5?
Also how would you go about to do it? Is there any tutorial
@subtle fractal dfu can be tricky, follow this: https://youtu.be/XRhnamApfZQ

@marble relic you may update OTA in settings, then system
Guudevening everyone ^^!
I have a question aboot AppleTV
I never owned one before but now I want one so bad now that I'm in quarantine, but I'm very curious if I should get the 32GB or 64GB
Idk if 32GB is going to be enough, could someone please guide me to which size I should buy?
Well that also depends on how interesting it can get 🙂
would you be keen to download lots of stuff and install multiple apps? if so, the bigger the better
That's the thing, I am completely oblivious about what kind of apps it has, how many apps, how big its apps are
Maybe after getting it i think about jailbreaking it, and how much size will the tweak require.
All those kind of factors
Depends on what. Some games from the App Store are heavy, so they do take up space. AFAIK, I download lots and 32GB is perfect for me
64 imo is just overkill
that's what I was thinking
Is there a way to see all the available apps for AppleTV before I buy one?
unless you're like "everything must be installed, must test!" then 64 will do it
I dont think im gonna be doing that lol
But I mean hey if I see something interesting and I'm bored, I am testing!
Unfortunately not, since the store is closed for only apple, there's no way of viewing it without said device. The best you can do is look up an app and view its Apple TV compatibility...
jailbreaking won't take up much space at all.. uses very little
Interesting
Okay I have another question now
I remember a friend from my country says he has the AppleTV however Disney+ doesn't work for him due to regional reasons
Is there a way to bypass this? A jailbreak related solution perhaps?
Ah yes, since the outbreak, Apple has limited its services to some areas...
The best way to get around it is to change the region on the device, and/or sign in with a new Apple ID
Not necessarily. To sync apps; yes, to view content, no. Unless you've got your shows and stuff on memory and wish to carry it on the Apple TV
Alrighty
I've made up my mind, 64GB is it. Better be safe than regret not having enough space later
Not that big of a price difference anyways
Indeed, and all jailbreakable 😉
Thank you so much for answering all my questions :)!
no worries!
Have a great day kind sir
Can someone help me. I’ve restored my appletv using iTunes to tvOS 10.2.2 for jailbreak but while I’m trying to set it up I’ve been stuck on this screen
I’ve waited about 20 min with no luck
@naive oasis Do you by any chance have the Apple TV HD?
Any link for the ipa to atv 4K? Can’t find it
@tacit egret for unc0ver? not released yet
@tacit egret 13.4.5 - 11
Well, going up to 13.4.5 !!
Thank you
👍
Yeah. I have the appletv 4 hd not Apple TV 4K
@naive oasis The issue you're seeing on the screen is due to the SEP not being compatible with 10.2.2 on the HD models. It'll work if you have an Apple TV 1/2/3rd gen remote and even the old 4th gen (black box) but other than that, you're stuck on that screen until you restore to the latest.
@naive oasis The latest.
since your device is compatible with checkm8, you can jailbreak it forever
Can you please link me a tutorial that you know of. If not I can probably just find one, I’m just worried I’ll find the wrong one
A tutorial on what?
Nevermind I found one. But thank you so much
I had a tutorial for you @naive oasis 😛
@fleet parcel Thanks, I managed to get Snappy to work
Is tvOS 13.4.5 indeed the latest version to get onto?
Or was it 13.5?
13.5 doesn't exist for tvOS
13.4.5 = 13.5
@small flower did you follow a tutorial for snappy?
Yeah, I follow the link in pins (i.e. your website)
Only weird part is that somehow there are these two blank boxes labelled "Kodi" and "nitoTV" after that process
Should I go ahead with the update, or should I reset the device before update?
Doing the latter; it made more sense to me
I am ok with setting it up again since by the end of this I want to be on a fresh 13.4.5 slate
That's fine
snappy reverted you, so uicache wasn't refreshed
go ahead with the update
@small flower
Thank you, am working on it
@fleet parcel Thanks again; am on a fresh 13.4.5 state and switched off Updates
are you on a 4K or just a 4?
4K
ah, cool.
I’m just popping in here for a quick dumb question bc I don’t follow tvos jb’s, but will i still need a mac to jb my 4k?
@chilly verge Yes if you want the semi-untethered jailbreak
unfortunate
nahh
I don’t have mac😪
you can make one VM
Yes
Holy cow
My ATV4K is 12.4 and running Chimera
Should I Un jailbreak it and update firmware to new and latest?
2 steps:
- Reboot the device, use ChimeraTV to Restore RootFS
- wait
I am a not do that right now, my wife is watching Heist show o and the Kodi
I went to my neighbor and picked his ATV4K current firmware is 13.3
Should I upgrades to new and latest firmware?
anyone have any tweak recommendations for atv4?
@analog elk why not use Josh tv repos
Okay so, I'd stay on Chimera for now (jailbroken)
Then, when the time comes, you may Restore RootFS
Okay
What about non jailbroken ATV4K 13.3?
Should I upgrades firmware to new and latest?
non-jb can update if you wish (not required)
Can new and latest firmware updates can be jailbroken?
yes
but if the 4K is jailbroken in any way.. A Restore RootFS is required or you'll brick device
So if I updates with 13.4.5 on my ATV4K and install Chimera run RootFS and wait
I am updating firmware on ATV4K with new and latest JTV
Okay. I don't touch jailbreak
I clicked on Restore RootFS
How long do I have to wait?
Did your Apple TV reboot?
I installed Chimera 1.3.9 and click on the Chimera and then click on the far right side Restore RootFS
After install Chimera 1.3.9, you can do I reboot ATV4K?
Please disregard "you can"
I pressed Menu and went back to the main Apple Settings and reboot my ATV4K and started Chimera and click on the Restore RootFS
No
@icy wolf Reboot the Apple TV
When booted, open ChimeraTV
Click Restore RootFS (on the bottom right side of screen)
After clicking that, Click the button in the middle
Apple TV will ask you to reboot. Do it.
After reboot, nitoTV and jailbreak app icons will be white
After that's done, just wait
is it worth getting apple tv? what the benefits of jb on tv
@analog elk That's in the pin
Ty!
if i buy apple tv rn, can they still jailbreak?
Yes
can the apple tv4k jailbreak be done with out the breakout board?
Yes @robust gust
ok thanks
I click on that Restore RootFS and still waiting for the next step JTV
@icy wolf Did you click the button in the middle?
No. I start Chimera and click on the Restore RootFS
Are you jailbroken?
Please remember that Chimera Ziad on the top center that tvOS 12-12.4
What tvOS is it?
13.4.5
oh, you updated?
Yes
