yes
Thanks for your time and help. Will let you know tomorrow. Goodnight
JTV! I love your new DP idk how old it is now but i like it
Ty!
@fleet parcel wee woo
Woooo!!!
im uneducated on tvOS jb; how would one go about installing unc0ver to tvos?
Why is a tvOS jailbreak even good?
I was on 13.3
13.3 would've worked too...
Were you prev jb?
you need to Restore Root FS
update won't work and if you reset all contents, you'll brick
How to jailbreak atv 4k
@arctic trail You'll need to sideload the u0 app to it using macOS and Xcode
you have the goldeneye?
How to do that i have mac os
instructions on u0 website i believe
@arctic trail http://joshtv.net/Guides/sideload.html
So... why jailbreak it?
yes
Nice
@dark panther read the pin.. tells you the benefits/advantages
Apple tv 4 k doesnāt have usb-c how i can connect to mac
hey sam!
snappy /should/ work with 11
not pre 11.3
it doesn't actually revert to snapshots on boot until then
unc0ver will manually do it
it sucked because when you jailbroke you had NO WAY to update
because you couldn't get it back to stock
Congrats on release Sam
^ indeed.
Apple tv 4 k doesnāt have usb-c how i can connect to mac
Currently updating to 13.4.5 right now
@arctic trail no cables needed
pwn did most of the work, I just did the final packaging and making sure the packages on my repo worked etc
Xcode 10.1 or later can connect wirelessly
Thank you i will try
wait is there no 13.5 for apple tv?
Use Xcode to make provision, iOS App signer to sign app, Xcode to install
havent paid attention in a while
TvOS 13.4.5 is like iOS 13.5
FYI: if anybody needs to update from 11.x pre 11.3: this is what I had to do. ```
- Revert rootfs from unc0ver and make sure to enable ota option (disable block ota)
- Erase all content and settings
- update OTA
yeah not the first time the versions dont match up
before I erased all content and settings it was failing for some unknown reason
Well, seeing as COVID-19 is not on tvOS...
lol
I need covid tracing on my tv
ooof
So Sam where is unc0verWatch
lol
^

@nocturne socket you're missing out
pwn was thinking about it but it hasn't been worked on yet
wait fr
Oh shit
lmfao wtf
just bugfixes afaik
fixes I'm assuming
If pwn actually plans on doing it I hope he announces it so people donāt update their watch
13.5 was originally supposed to be 13.4.5 on iOS and they changed the name at the last minute in betas
watch jb? nice
he thought about it but idk if he actually plans on it
here i am connected via USB-C for a semi-untether š
who ping
got ra1n on the brain
one bad thing about the watch, if you fuck up, game over
wee woo
josh its ur repo thats the issue for sure
fix ur repo
repos fine
@torn spade hello Mr. Bingner i have a question for you
look at what i sent
i did, its not me
wow $50 for 4K breakout cable
@haughty thorn dark mode too š
is snowboard TV updated for latest
josh ill try cellular then
Hmm
@sharp quail your isp is blocking my server
CydiaTV
whereās anything but cydiaTV
i dunno 'bout you, but first time took 3-5 tries
Bet
works smoothly now.. unless i'm not used to the chimeraTVs reboot procedure
oh its already done updating, nice
if only my hack didnt shit itself, i'm just too lazy to fix it
Worked on attempt 2
one thing I always wanted to do with my ATV is to have homebridge or something like that running on the ATV to extend homekit since its my hub
@fleet parcel does reprovision work
ooo paid cert š
I have a friend
we all have that "friend" š
So what are some good tweaks
I see you have plex on the repo
yup
the difference is the lower version allows usage for older tvOS versions
im connecting to the repo but its 404ing on filesearch
but i can also see it on chrome so it shouldnt be a firewall thing
@sharp quail Still blaming your isp...
@fleet parcel when I try to edit the storyboard it is totally screwed in my xcode so I never fixed that button being there lol I'll get somebody to remove it
The Cydia button?
oh?
yeah lol
Apparently that actually would reinstall nitotv
and the name never got fixed
Ah, tis okay
I love plex
although average joe will be like.. "WTF?"
@sharp quail are you on wifi or ethernet?
tried both on local and cellular as well
and same issue
wait
oh fuck me
could it be my etason dns

oh ffs
oh yea... reset your dns back to normal
it is.
@fleet parcel if this is the biggest issue we find I'll be super happy š
there's only one issue i see...

@sharp quail you'll know it works when you see nitoTV on your homescreen
now nito is crashing every time i change screens
launch screen?
yeah, upon app launch
maybe it didn't get copied in or something? I'll check
yrah that's probably the problem
just rootfsād my apple tv so I can update it to 13.5, but I canāt seem to find any buttons to update it anywhere
even plugging it into my mac, all I see is restore
you can ota in settings
oh, itās under system, not general
@fleet parcel cameren sent me here cause i need help downloading checkrain to my apple tv, i got -31
ok the plain launch screen isn't because we failed to copy in the image -- I'll ask the guy who made the app about it
Hello Josh, please see that picture I posted. Also reading about new JB Unc0ver
Please use Mac with XCode
When it gets to step 28/31 it states "Installing newer version of apt7" "file == nil" "Unable to resolve apt7-key to a deb"
How do I even install uncover on my tv lol
@fleet parcel it was made with a launch storyboard lol - and launch storyboards arenāt used on tvos :p
@marsh jasper you probably need to revert rootfs
how do I get ECID on my Apple TV 4K? already jailbroken with u0
Ssh in and run ecidecid maybe?
quartz:~ root# ecidecid
-sh: ecidecid: command not found
Ok I remembered wrong then sorry
Check if thereās something in uikittools dpkg -L uikittools
Oh right itās using nitoās uikittools still so maybe that would have been the right command
To sideload the app: http://joshtv.net/Guides/sideload.html
there's an uiduid command apparently, it returns some 40 character hex string... if I run that on my iPhone it returns something that actually looks like an UDID and only 25 chars
To sideload the app: http://joshtv.net/Guides/sideload.html
@fleet parcel so i should have developer account if i want to jailbreak tv 4k ?
copied the ecidecid binary from my phone, that actually worked, huh
I thought it might not work because my phone is arm64e
@strong anvil no dev account needed
@fleet parcel iām getting this error
@analog elk it worked because the binary is also arm64
@strong anvil check the guide for provision profile duplicates etc
why does the rjailbreakbot Telegram bot have an option to save blobs for the fucking touchbar but not Apple TV 4K 
@analog elk blobs are saved automatically when you jailbreak.
oh they are?
@fleet parcel where can i find the guid tho
i got only one no duplicate ones
I don't think it worked
Chimeraās restore rootfs button doesnāt seem to do anything, any idea what I can do to fix it?
ok, seems like tsschecker was able to get blobs
@fleet parcel Thanks bud
@frigid moat install unc0ver and use its
@analog elk none of the tools are compiled for arm64e
oh ok didn't know that
you only really need tweaks compiled for arm64e
you can't load an arm64 lib into an arm64e process but arm64 process runs fine
it say's tsssaver can't be installed?
Does anyone know if reprovision is working or is it slightly buggy like the iOS 13.5 update
Ah thats unfortunate. I'm pretty satisfied at 12.4 to be honest but I'd rather be safe in case apps stop working in the future or something. Worth updating?
Controller support is nice.
Not personally using it to game, mainly for Kodi and Twitch
More worried about developers in the future forcing updates to use their apps
apparently reprovision may be working when appsync is not installed?
personally I'd update from 12.4 (I just updated my 4k from 11.2)
Oh is that what the issue is for reprovision not working on the iPhone? I'd think Reprovision would be working on tvOS then @wooden acorn
I think you're a little biased @torn spade š jk, but I have no issues at all and I'm super happy with 12.4 currently, I just don't want any issues with Kodi or reprovision as its a bit of a hassle to resign with xcode
I had a fresh jailbreak going on tvOS 13.4.5 and when I installed Reprovision I got the "Update to Xcode 7.3" error. From what I heard it's an error that required Reprovision to get updated.
Reprovision works, just gotta downgrade it @wooden acorn
Well there you go
Hm okay that's good to hear I think I'll be upgrading then
@fleet parcel when restoring rootFS will I lose all my apps / preferences (e.g. Kodi addons, etc?)
By the way does anyone know why Breezy doesn't always transfer files? I am getting an empty folder instead of an ipa I transferred.
Hey Josh. Is this new Unc0ver JB works on ATV4K Firmare 13.4.5?
I had a fresh jailbreak going on tvOS 13.4.5 and when I installed Reprovision I got the "Update to Xcode 7.3" error. From what I heard it's an error that required Reprovision to get updated.
@wooden acorn You JB on Apple TV4K or just 4?
@icy wolf It works on the 4K TV as well
@wooden acorn I installed unc0ver ATV4K firmware 13.4.5 and do I run Jailbreak?
yep
I did it Wopsock and ran twice jailbreak according to the instruction and I got NitoTV installed automatically so I installed Zelda and Kodi and ReProvision etc. Once I power it down and now its keep blinking š¦
before reboots, Kodi works fine and also installed The Crew addon and try it and works fine.
Hey Josh, please help me. Thanks
It only works when you're jailbroken @icy wolf so when you reboot you're not jailbroken anymore
Okay Farts but when I rebooted, its blinking front white light. I don't see anything on my tv.
This is ATV4K and there is no USB C port to fix like 4 for complete wiped cleaned and restoring ATV4K. I believe Unc0ver has missed something.
@torn spade That was what I did right after I sent the message and it actually worked, thanks for the reponse !
I got the āunable to installā, latest Xcode to ATV HD 4th Gen, 13.4.5., followed the guide posted here. First time attempting to JB this ATV too.
Could it be as simple as the usb c cable being subpar, EVEN IF Iām seeing the ATV show up in finder and Xcode?
Ah so there's nothing like batchomatic on the iPhone or anything to preserve it?
Damn thats gonna take a while to reconfigure everything. Should I also remove the adblock profile I installed with supervisor before updating?
@icy wolf what's wrong?
@analog elk did you check your keychain?
@fleet parcel I did and I only see one profile
Are there duplicates by different or the same email?
I did it install unc0ver.ipa on my ATV4K firmware 13.4.5 and ran twice jailbreak according to the instruction and I got NitoTV installed automatically so I installed Zelda and Kodi and ReProvision etc. Once I power it down and now its keep blinking light. Any advice?
Ok?
I'm so lucky just had a internet outage like 15 minutes after the jailbreak was setup
would of bricked my tv if it was in the middle of jailbreaking
After installed NitoTV and all works nice and smooth but once I reboot it and tv screen is black and front light keep flashing on my ATV4K.
Unc0ver.ipa file from their web site https://unc0ver.dev/tvos/
No, i mean for tweaks
i installed unc0verTV_5.1.0_b1.ipa and Kodi, Zelda, reprovision
Flex
then installed The Crew addon and the Crew repo
all works fine but once I wanted to check if its working after reboot or Jailbreak again like Chimera.
Also, installed Safari Browser from your repo
Any clue @fleet parcel
Yeah, very odd
My advice is to take it to Apple if it doesn't boot @icy wolf
They might replace the unit
Yes, I will be what about the other ATV4K with Firmware 12.4
Last night I put it to sleep but next morning never woke up but I had to pressed remote control but no changes.
I just jailbroke my 4K on 13.4 and am trying to install that TVControlCenter. But keep getting process failed. Any ideas?
@devout estuary give me time, I'll help you out in a bit
No rush. Just DM what steps you suggest and Iāll get back to you with results. Iām gonna get going soon. Youāre always a great help man and I appreciate it.
@devout estuary are you able to ssh in?
will the no reset utility interfere with restore rootfs?
"OR, if you're already jailbroken on tvOS 12.4 using Chimera, you can Airdrop the Unc0verTV ipa to the ATV using Breezy, install it with Reprovision, restore RootFS via Chimera, update, and then jailbreak with unc0ver!" anyone know if this works? would be a lot easier than using Xcode again
Hm okay about to bite the bullet and upgrade. Do you guys think I can keep my adblock profile I installed with supervisor as I update?
Damn it's going to be such a bitch to reconfigure Kodi
Hey Josh Sbingner.. my friend just dropped of his ATV4K Firmware 12.4. I cannot apply new firmware from Update Software. ATV4K is not jailbroken or installed any file.
@fathom wyvern you can backup kodi
Oh what that would be so helpful. How would I be able to do that?
That's literally the only thing keeping me from updating rn
Well that and reprovision
How do I backup and restore Kodi? @fleet parcel
Hold on.. updating
Got it take your time thanks for the help
what tvOS are you on?
@fleet parcel @torn spade Hey Josh Sbingner.. my friend just dropped of his ATV4K Firmware 12.4. I cannot apply new firmware from Update Software. ATV4K is not jailbroken or installed any file.
You don't need to message twice.. https://discordapp.com/channels/349243932447604736/688125177820610598/715042305303904266
Sorry buddy
I can't figure out how to save shsh blobs for appletv 4k I followed a guide and used tsschecker with the command./tsschecker -d AppleTV6,2 -e [INSERT ECID] -o -i [INSERT TVOS VERSION] -s --save-path ./ --boardconfig J105aAP --no-baseband and replaced with my ecid and firware in terminal and it keeps saying killed?
13.4.5
@robust gust what's the error you receive?
zsh: killed ./tsschecker -d AppleTV6,2 -e 930141AA2002E -o -i 13.4.5 -s --save-path ./
@icy wolf TBH, I wouldn't update 12.4 at this time, the jailbreak is a big buggy still since its on beta
oof zsh
you can, but I prefer bash š
so should I still use terminal
yes
but what you're typing in is incorrect
screenshot?
@fathom wyvern wait.. don't update just yet, let unc0ver update
(even though you're not updating yet)
are you on catalina?
yes
ok thanks so much
@robust gust
@fleet parcel got it. just a bit worried in case the signing window closes but im honestly very happy with 12.4
@fleet parcel so it saved correctly?
@robust gust read the middle
so did I save them allready?
@analog elk Probably because you signed it incorrectly
@analog elk Probably because you signed it incorrectly
@fleet parcel Is there a way for me to check/edit how I signed it
Well, what method of signing did you use?
Xcode
did you follow the guide?
what version of xcode/macOS?
try uninstalling the app, reboot the apple TV and redownload the app
Can I use TSSSaver to save my blobs? I only see up to tv4 on https://tsssaver.1conan.com
SHSH2 blob saver.
Ah I see what you were struggling with now lol i've never had any experience with future restore or blobs or anything
Maybe i'll just check back next week to see if unc0ver is less buggy
iphone 11 I used blobsaver and it worked
but it say it saved the blobs for appletv 4k but the version is blank and no blobs saved
when jtv tried to save them it said to erase saved blobs not really sure if it saved them when I was trying all those times
your the greatest thanks
FTR when you jailbreak, check that TSSAgent is installed. It'll save your blobs
yea the beta of unc0ver was not letting me install tss agent for some reason
it say's predepends:firmware(<10.2>) but 13.4.5 is to be installed
but thanks so much for saving them for me
uh I'm still not too sure on how to save my blobs @fleet parcel I'm trying to google it but still kinda lost
4k
Mojave 10.14.6
Sorry just got back, just installed it
cool
uh okay im lost do i build the project? because i'm getting an error
Ah okay never mind this is a different one than the one I downloaded
Okay I just ran it, says process completed but I have no idea how it would have connected to my tv lol
you don't
okay sorry for the dumb questions josh, but when I run "ecid" in /var/root I'm getting 16 numbers and the guide says to remove the first 2 (even though it isn't something like 0x). the guide has like 13 numbers though even after removing it
am i on the right track with this 16 digit number or
or should i still remove the first 2 digits and use this 14 diet number
ecid is dec
so you'll need to convert dec to Hex (dec is all numbers, hex is alphanumeric)
best way you can do that, is insert dec ecid into Tss1conan
@fathom wyvern
Hm okay I think I did it, it created 5 shsh files š¤·āāļø
hopefully i did it correctly with the right ecid, it was 13 digits like the guide said
in the future, how would i safely update it? I think I'll wait on 12.4 until there's something substantial on 13.4.5
Also, what's the window for upgrading with blobs? Does 13.4.5 still have to be signed / some sort of tvOS 13 being signed? I see something about SEP on r/jailbreak all the time but I never really pay attention since its usually irrelevant
Yes
the SEP must be compatible
for 4K it isn't possible to selectively update, just 4/HD
So, if you've got a 4K with blobs.. they won't work (even if blobs are valid)
@fathom wyvern
Oh so there's not really any point in having the blobs then huh
I should just wait a week to see if unc0ver hashes out some bugs then?
Ah well what is 40kb on my computer
Are you making a guide or something on how to backup/restore Kodi later josh?
So when checkra1n is updated for 13.4.5 we can then jailbreak with unc0ver right? On windows so thats the only way right. No hackintosh
yes
@fathom wyvern
@jaunty rune checkra1n works with 13.4.5
I wouldn't mix jailbreaks though, its either one or the other
U mean checkra1n?
is it unc0ver you're installing or is that what checkra1n says?
Ah sorry. Yah thats what checkra1n says.
tis okay, what version is it?
Let me check
Have to wait a min to check. And so if i get 13.4.5 jailbroken with checkra1n how do i then get unc0ver going without mixing the jailbreaks. Restore root fs?
why do you have to wait a min? checkra1n shows you the vers number...
Waiting for the pc
i don't understand how a version number takes this long to find
its literally at the top of the program..
Sorry just didnt have access to pc. Anyway, got the newest 0.1.0.2 checkra1n. Installing now on the atv4
*0.10.2
when its finished, revert boostrap
just gotta press and hold tv button and click checkra1n logo
Ok will do
Just waiting for the install to finish. Pretty slow rn. Will update once ive done that
Thanks
Ok.. it finished? Not seeing nito or anything though
Held the tv button and clicked checkra1n now back to the installer
ok, revert
Its just installing again. Is there supposed to be a revert button?
Yah the install just suddenly stops. No nito app. There is the checkra1n logo in the cc but when clicked just tries to install again
@fleet parcel know of any bugs I missed in the last update? sucks that the launch image can't switch between light and dark mode
omg flappyTV is hard.
Tried to revert but says restore_error_code: general_error
Think i got it goin. Installed unc0ver with repro then restorerootfs within unc0ver then had to tick reinstall nito and then jailbreak
is there a way to airdrop the b2 file on a jailbroken atv without having to go through xcode process?
Finally got b2 installed and running on my ATV HD 4th Gen! Amazing work @torn spade @fleet parcel
Iād set up the ipa using the regular unc0ver by mistake and was trying all day yesterday until it hit me Lolol
Is there an app that would allow me to load movies locally?
Iām saying this because weāve had a lot of outages with spectrum and it would be nice to have something locally on the box in case of an outage
or even the ability to connect external storage if possible
@fleet parcel i meant uncover 5.0.1-b2
@fleet parcel hope youāre well dude, I see they released unc0verTV, 12.4 itās the only supported version?
nah @grand ingot from 11.x to 13.4.5
Damn, maybe itās time to update, what you reckon?
Shall I just save blobs - but what if a new tvOS itās released that patches vulnerability?
Save blobs - yes. The new update will most likely patch the vulnerability, but won't be released anytime soon..
Alright fella cheers for that
Is there an app that would allow me to load movies locally @fleet parcel
@analog elk plex
But locally TO the ATV?
Like stream?
Like I could download them from my Plex server on to the ATV
Really? Wow! I wonder if I need a premium subscription for that feature
Thank you
I just wanna be able to loop about eight hours worth of golden girls at Cetera episodes that I have as MP4ās in case spectrum goes down overnight LOL
a couple of things @torn spade, you need a GPG key, your repo is constantly asking for authentication. Another, is the updates.. even after applying essential updates, there's still updates popping up.
@fleet parcel wasnāt there a feature where if you plug/unplug your apple tv 4k for 5-6 times, it will prompt you for restore or reset?
i have a second apple tv 4k just laying around but it just blinks.. 9 blinks and the tenth one is like double blink or some sort
yes i updated it with the beta 2 and restarted it
Okay, was there any tweaks installed?
yes
what tweaks?
openssh, breezy
that's it?
odd..
i did it when i was half asleep yesterday lol
I'm curious as to what's causing the bootlooping...
here is what i did - was jailbroken with beta 1 file, deleted the b1, airdropped beta 2 and installed with reprovision, restarted the apple tv
did you run Restore RootFS?
nope.. prolly that is the issue
@torn spade Also, getting reports of 4K bootlooping
why is it so slow?
Slow server...
btw one thing I noticed: sometimes nitoTV shows an alert āContinue? [y/n]ā but it blurs out the background so I canāt see what exactly apt is going to do
hmm
@fleet parcel so it is happening to few other people... https://www.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/comments/grizfk/discussion_unc0ver_tv_is_bricking_apple_tv_4k/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

Holy shit @fleet parcel Is your modded Plex app or web based version which will then enable me to download movies to the Apple TV, because thatās what it looks like
I just downloaded it now and Iām gonna check it out
@tvOSJailbreak There are reports of unc0verTV bricking the 4K (I can't confirm these reports at this time), I suggest waiting to hear more info from the unc0ver team about this before installing it. It should still be fine on the Apple TV 4
Bruh
Lmao
It looks like itās the same as the official App Store app unless Iām missing something @fleet parcel
Did you mod it at all

I hope I donāt brick mine
its mainly the same on the App Store, just works with lower firmwares
@fleet parcel damn
@analog elk be careful
Iāll probably have to buy the Plex pass in order to download my stuff then. Iām kind of surprised there isnāt some type of work around
thereās no Apple Stores in Hungary, but I assume some third party store could repair/replace it for me with official Apple warranty if I do end up bricking it š¤
I don't know for sure..
Mine didnāt brick with the last beta, did the problems start with this beta?
I canāt install unc0ver
Literally canāt
Thatās all it says
I tried on 3 different Xcode versions
Including latest
I tried different profiles
I tried different apple ids
Nothing
@analog elk did you sign the ipa?
i mean the process is the same... i was able to load the ipa, jailbreak and brick my apple tv 4k within 5 mins.. lol
i have another one running with b1 so i guess its cool
@analog elk did you check your keychain?
Xcode moved all the signing stuff into a seperate tab
Letās see if it works now
Even if this doesnāt work what do I do still
Depends on the error
Why did Xcode move signing 
Couldāve kept it in general...
@fleet parcel the error is āunable to install unc0verTVā
I guess Apple wanted to make it more specific..
Make it more specific with organization
But not the errors
Good one apple
Idk what to do
I canāt tell if itās unc0ver being garbage or Xcode being garbage
Fuck unc0verTV
I aināt using it
Too broke af
i mean the process is the same... i was able to load the ipa, jailbreak and brick my apple tv 4k within 5 mins.. lol
@toxic rose how do u unbrick it
no idea .. the one with beta 2 just blinks... i have not been able to unbrick it and doubt there is anything we can do about it
golden cable and dcsd (or some sort) cable are needed i guess
not sure tho
- how did it happen?
āoh i dropped itā
"I tried to update to iOS 14"
Canāt restore the 4K with breakout cable?
- how did it happen?
āoh i dropped itā
@versed thistle I dropped my Apple TV4K and now it's bricked. š
golden cable and dcsd (or some sort) cable are needed i guess
@toxic rose sadly you canāt restore any 4K firmware
So Apple would be the only way tbh
ok good to know..
I'm trying to update to a downloaded .ipsw of tvOS 13.4.5 in Catalina. I'm a bit stuck though, any ideas how to proceed?
Or should just hit restore?
ATV4(HD) 12.4
@frigid moat just stay
don't update to 13?
not yet
Ah ok, i'll leave it for now. Thanks š
Bit curious š¤ If you have time, are there issues with 13 for ATV4 (non-4K) currently?
Been awhile... just heard about uncoverTV for 13.5, sounds exciting. I got a couple of 4's and a few 4K's all on 12.4 and running sweet. Hope the uncover team works out the bootloop bug for the 4k, I am anxious to get 13 installed and finally Arcade.
@fleet parcel thanks for the warning, I did read the comments here by @toxic rose, I will wait on the 4k for now and maybe update the 4 once it's out of beta.
If my jailbreak is working on the ATV4k and I installed safety net should I just stay jailbroken or restore root fs?
please install "safetynet" on your appletv ESPECIALLY if you are on a 4K. that should hopefully help you prevent a bootloop. we're still investigating why this is happening. for now id hold off if you have a 4K OR if already jailbroken - revert your root fs and just wait.
If Apple releases tvOS 13.5.1, would we still be able to update to 13.5 with blobs?
@grand ingot hard to say; given that its not released. In theory it should.. but can't say for sure until its tested...
but fear not; I've got that covered š
Have you now? Alright I trust your expertise in this field š„³
@grand ingot https://joshblah555.github.io/JoshTV/SEPCheckr.html
nah
So fuck it, might as well update to 13.5 and just hold off to jailbreaking?
Iām annoyed just because I was still unable to to sort out the AppStore issue I was having - the only thing I was able to do itās just sign in with my Mrs account (Italian) and benefit off Italyās AppStore instead
I reckon that it i update to 13.4.5 itāll solve the problem
@grand ingot https://joshblah555.github.io/JoshTV/SEPCheckr.html
@fleet parcel oh btw, Iāve saved this to my favourites š
Hold on @grand ingot before updating, what device do you have?
Apple TV 4
not 4K? just 4?
No 4Kās here
Go nuts š
Yeah Iāve seen comments above!
just want to make sure everyones safe
Guys having probs cause you need cable to restore
Even with cables you can't restore
just want to make sure everyones safe
@fleet parcel cheers man really appreciate yo ur hard work, this is my number one place whenever I plan doing anything with my Apple TV
Even with cables you can't restore
@fleet parcel thatās shit!!
@robust gust https://twitter.com/nitoTV/status/1265719787323224064
@fleet parcel soonest Iāve updated and jailbroken - install this regardless 4 or 4K?
please install "safetynet" on your appletv ESPECIALLY if you are on a 4K. that should hopefully help you prevent a bootloop. we're still investigating why this is happening. for now id hold off if you have a 4K OR if already jailbroken - revert your root fs and just wait.
I also installed no reset so you can't hit restore by mistake
I also installed no reset so you can't hit restore by mistake
@robust gust oh yeah thatās a must! Especially if you got toddlers around!!
I guess I got lucky I updated to the new beta last night on 4k before I new about the bootloop issue
it was like 6 in the morning so thank god after the jailbreak process it rebooted and came back up
I don't know
Just donāt! š
I wonder if I should just restore root fs
Hmm I donāt know fella...
yea I mean everything is working fine right now
Might even make it worst, god knows
If youāre good and you donāt get a power cut then happy days
yea
I mean, it might even work after a reboot who knows?
it rebooted after it jailbroke so
...
it might be bacuse I never jail broke it before
Yeah I suppose that it should be the same - plus you got safetynet now..
maybe some people are switching jailbreaks
Oh yeah, could be!
I took down no reset.. Need to fix it
Why whatās wrong with it?
Don't get me wrong; the tweak works great
Just running into issues with the system handling
should I keep it installed?
Sure
It won't cause harm, just gotta update it
But again, to keep everyone safe, I'd rather them run into issues downloading it than having the system do oddball stuff
Nice one
Happy days, just updated to 13 and guess what - AppStore loads fine now
what a morning
Yeah, this jailbreak was a bit iffy to me when i was unable to wget after jailbreaking...
That's been a thing since Electra.. Was odd that i had to manually install it
hopefully the next beta will be better
I feel like these jailbreaking days are quite awesome
Latest models, latest iOS versions and jailbreaks available
Quite cool
ngl, miss pangu
what i didn't miss: disabled USB port making sideloading impossible
yea I had a iphone 7 on checkra1n and than the battery swelled and the screen separated so I bought an 11 thinking that my jailbraking days were over
what i didn't miss: disabled USB port making sideloading impossible
@fleet parcel true
yea I had a iphone 7 on checkra1n and than the battery swelled and the screen separated so I bought an 11 thinking that my jailbraking days were over
@robust gust what??! Seriously? Are you sure that was related to Checkra1n?
Ah
it just happened probably from work
Damn that was a bad battery lol
I was working in heat and lifting heavy heavy stuff with the phone in my pocket plus I had a apple battery case
Well that explains a lot
not sure if it overheated
Pressure + heat = not good
the apple battery case never shuts off
I never ran out of batter which was nice though
š
Damn just transferring +100GB of games to my WD Drive - fuck me thatās gonna take long!!!
@fleet parcel Is it safe to update an ATV4-HD (non-4k) from 12.4 to 13.5 and run checkra1n until unc0ver is out of beta?
@frigid moat Yes.
awesome, thanks! Ahh... any idea how I can get past the screenshot I posted earlier?
I've got an install of yosemite somewhere that might let me use itunes instead of finder. Not sure if it's too old to connect to something on 12.4 š¤
Or I could just smash the restore button...
can you link it? tl;dr
also, is 12.4 jb?
it is just at this moment
All i have is the above screenshot in finder, they removed the functionality from itunes
okay, reboot, restore rootfs, update OTA
thanks ā¤ļø
When you restore rootfs should you always reboot first?
Or can you do it while your in a jailbroken state
?
Always reboot first
That I must admit I didn't know!
Yea I guess that goes for iPhone as well thanks for the info
is there any reason I should renew my apple dev subscription I know I will have a year with signed apps
we found the source of the bootloops
"Software Updates" setting in nitotv sets an executable -x which makes launchd panic on new iOS now
why would you reboot before restore rootfs?
nice
software updates on nitotv?
@fleet parcel so If I don't touch that setting I should be good?
@robust gust correct
So I set it to enabled, installed safety net. I restarted to restore rootfs and it wonāt start up now. 4K. Any solutions or is it just bricked now?
@fleet parcel am I needing to just go buy another ATV?
I doubt itās still under warranty. Time to just order another one. Been jail breaking since iPhone 3G. First time bricking a device.
Even if its out of warranty, Perhaps give it a try
Just ordered a 4 on Apple store. F it.
Would the breakout cable work to restore the bricked one? Good project piece to try.
@fleet parcel wait so should software updates be on disabled or enabled?
@fathom wyvern update nitoTV
@devout estuary if you mail it to somebody with the fancy cable for it, I have a checkra1n build that can fix it
otherwise yeah RMA
I haven't actually tested fixing it on an appletv4k but I duplicated it and fixed it on an AppleTV Gen 4
also yes the breakout cable would work... or the cable jinStore was selling with a DCSD cable
(not with the current public checkra1n build - but an option to restore rootfs on jailbreak will be added soon)
and probably an option to just validate system files so it doesn't even have to revert
The fancy cable you speak of is different then the breakout cable? Mailing it to someone would require soldering with the breakout cable. Iāve never soldered but figure I can try.
Where do you recommend I order a breakout cable? Or is there something newer out to try?
Soldering isn't hard unless you have a clear mind and a steady hand
It looks somewhat straightforward on a YouTube video I saw just now. Just gotta order the breakout board and accessories. Figure Iāll give it a try. Any ideas where to order it ?
the fancy cable is an ethernet plug
the breakout cable gives you more - it gives you full USB access after boot too
Would the fancy cable work to get it out of the boot loop?
yes
Anyone here have one that you know of? Iād gladly pay to have it fixed.
you could mail it to me or nitotv and we could fix it
DM me your info and form of payment requested.
nito is in arizona so probably a better choice š
eh just include return shipping is all we'd want ... I think he wanted to make a PO box though so he didn't give out his home address
you can also send it to me but I'm in Hawaii so it'd be less than ideal for shippig costs
damn I'm not touching not software update toggle
Does specbreak work or any alternative
@robust gust as long as you have it at or above 3.3.1 you're ok to turn it on
Of youāre in Hawaii, USPS flat rate shipping is the same price I believe.
I have 3.3.0-1
@torn spade its asking me to install updates now should I?
update all?
ok good news at 3.3.1 -2
maybe just nitotv first tro be safe
got it everything is good thanks
you can also send it to me but I'm in Hawaii so it'd be less than ideal for shippig costs
@torn spade flat rate guys. Insured, tracking and Hawaii is the same price
Oh I see someone said that
My b
@fleet parcel not seeing any updates for nitotv. honestly have not received updates on anything recently ever since the GPG key thing
I'm on 3.3.0-2
what jb are you on?
chimera 12.4
yep
Uh somewhat? Sometimes my twitch crashes/freezes my TV but I think its because of an adblock profile I installed through supervisor
So I actually do have to restart it every other day or so, but other than that no real issues I don't think
oh.. cool
Should I be nervous about something
no.. just a slight case of stuff going wrong
I used to get the block updates thing every time i opened up NitoTV as well (like the legacy settings popup) but after I installed a beta profile it went away
oh?
yeah I would click on the red button to update but then nothing would happen. I used to get a ton of errors updating things after the GPG key thing where nothing would install
but i don't really need anything i don't think outside of what I already have
@fathom wyvern the bug that caused bootloops only affects iOS13+
Possibly only > 13.3
But you could load unc0ver and restore rootfs then upgrade if you want to be on latest
Hm I think i'll stay on 12.4 for a while until everything gets hashed out since its been working fine for me so far. just wanted to make sure I could avoid any potential issues like the NItotv updating thing
No Reset will be updated soon
if I renew my apple developer would I have to resign unc0ver to get 365 days?
I was going to renew anyway
Yes
@fathom wyvern just bear in mind that the 4K wonāt be able to update to 13.4.5 as soon as apple pushed an update, we donāt get to use the signed version because we have no ipsw
Pushes
yeah i understand. I think it's a little unlikely that 12.4 becomes out of date though to the point where apps stop working
I know back in the day iPhones would get apps that stopped working for them because of their firmware version so that's what I'm concerned of, but I don't see that happening for a few years for 12.4
and 13.4.5 doesn't offer much for me anyways
12.4 - 13.4.5... Sooo much more
@torn spade i bricked mine as well.. will I be able to get it fixed as well? or with nito?
Yeah weāll set something up either me or nito
it shows it as being available to download
sweet!
@robust gust refresh the main tvos page
I killed the downloads for the ones with the bug
You must have had it cached
Nitotv confirmed that heāll set up a PO box next week to fix any that got bricked, and Iāll add a checkra1n option to do it
The way I did it to find the bug and verify I could fix it with checkra1n was not exactly a change I can push š¬ it was if ( 1 || <existing code> ) heh
That's cool of you guys to be helping out like this; instead of just sending it to Apple.
I have to say you guys are really nice
i like it
tvOS community so friendly 
I think it should be u0TV
tvOS community so friendly
@frigid moat Filled with friends and family š
If I'm using my dev cert in ios app signer should I put resign only?
just resign it with a selected cert, then sideload
provisioning profile is giving me trouble but I have singing cert selected
I think I have to create a new provising profile
@robust gust check your keychain
look for invalid/duplicates, then kill App Signer and re-open it to refresh
ok Thanks
Damn Finally got it š
does unc0verTV work for apple tv 3?
no
If I jailbreak my Apple TV would it be possible to run an iOS application on it?
no
Okay no way to port it?
my understanding of porting would be building something for a target platform, so I think what you'd end up with by porting to tvOS would be a tvOS app š¤
well it depends on what you mean by app too
if it's a gui app it'll still take a lot of work to recompile it
it it's a command line util, it's probably super easy
yeah iOS and tvOS interface... can't imagine it being easy to control something on ATV that hasn't been designed to be run without a touchscreen
Well itās an app to play my tv on my phone
However they donāt have the app for the Apple TV
airplay?
Yeah I can do that but I would like to just use the ATV
Note: For this update only, a reboot is not necessary before re-jailbreaking.
I was also able to rejailbreak without rebooting on b2 š¤
yeah well
we don't tell people that because generally it may miss some changes if you do that
but the stuff that needs a reboot was not touched since b1
so b2 and b3 were both fine without a reboot
are there any jailbreaks for apple tv 3?
yes but they apparently are almost useless as there's nothing to do with it after you jailbreak it
4th gen has much more stuff
FYI: just validated with lilstevie that you can boot one that was bootlooped with the bug via checkrain and add the boot arg launchd_missing_exec_no_panic=1 then ssh in and run /bin/chmod a+x /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileSoftwareUpdate.framework/Support/softwareupdated to fix the bootloop too
Which can fix it without an updated checkra1n
Is there some list where you can see all ATV tweaks
Iām having a hard time finding
I mean all that are possible to download
Like tweak comparability list that are for iOS
@torpid flame yes
First off: this is for tvOS.
Second: you've got too many certificates active on your apple ID, please revoke some or use another Apple ID for signing.
Hi guys! I wanted to update my Apple TV 4 (12.4 jailbroken with ChimeraTV) to 13.4.5 but it always fails updating, even after reboot. What can I do?
is there a way to force my Apple TV remote to resend the IR power signal to my TV? because sometimes when I turn it on the signal to the TV is obstructed, and then itās a bit painful trying to āblindlyā turn off my Apple TV and then turn it on again
@analog elk This page should give you some info on setting that up
https://www.groovypost.com/howto/control-tv-volume-power-apple-tv-remote/
@simple sentinel restore root fs
@trim wagon that doesnāt seem to work, it sends an IR signal to my TV but not power on
@storm ridge I already have that stock option set up, and it works when itās in range, but I miss it sometimes
my 2015 Samsung Smart TV canāt detect my ATV4K over HDMI-CEC for some reason, so only IR works
@analog elk Some troubleshooting tips:
- Most TV's have a dedicated HDMI-out port for CEC control.
- Make sure to check your TV settings, you may have some CEC options.
- You could try another HDMI cable, one that is approved for CEC.
- Finally, check for any firmware updates for your TV itself.
#2 - Iāve scanned for devices but nothing detected
#4 - done that too, no updates, it barely gets any (it got like one for HEVC a few years ago and then a BBC iPlayer fix a few months ago)
will try the other two though
thereās another HDMI port thatās used by my STB
Some TVs just don't work well with these features. I had an Apple TV connected to a Toshiba supposed to do the same thing using their technology called ARC. Never worked properly no matter what I tried. Eventually changed TVs then it worked.
@analog elk are you jailbroken?
yes
What tvOS/jb?
Apple TV 4K, tvOS 13.4.5, unc0ver 5.1.0~b3

yo, is it possible to jailbreak a apple tv from the 3. generation and get channels like sky bundesliga on it
?
@torn spade @fleet parcel Do you think will be seeing more tweaks now, and what would you say is the most useful tweak with the new jailbreak on Apple TV 4?

KB fixed it!
