fleet parcel
#

ok

icy wolf
#

How do I read pin messages on my android phone?

#

Sorry.. Found it

wooden acorn
#

How can one place the ATV4 in recovery mode? Apparently u0 bricked it.

#

Don’t have an apple remote by the way.

brazen rapids
#

you need a remote

#

sol until further notice tbh

#

how did you plan to jailbreak without a remote?

wooden acorn
#

u0 allows for one to jailbreak without a remote as far as I am concerned. You just need to sideload the ipa.

analog elk
#

I wonder (just in theory, not that I need it), couldn't you intercept the traffic of an ATV4K to force it to OTA update to a non-latest signed version? think

finite leaf
#

Hi, can I sideload uncv0er with altstore on my atv 4k with windows

#

altserver 🙂

fleet parcel
#

@brazen rapids jailbreaking is possible without a remote

cosmic tinsel
#

i have an apple tv and i cant find the remote, is their a way i can set it up + jailberak it?

fleet parcel
#

@finite leaf no

#

@cosmic tinsel yes

cosmic tinsel
#

thanks

fleet parcel
#

depends on what tvOS you have

#

@analog elk maybe, but that theory would require a lot of reverse engineering

devout estuary
#

Anyone remember the old Diatrus repo? I tried finding the repo online and can’t find a working one. There were a couple good items on there.

fleet parcel
#

like?

devout estuary
#

He had an updated version of provenance.

fleet parcel
#

stahhp

nocturne socket
#

who

devout estuary
#

🤚🏻

wooden acorn
#

I'm seeing that power-cycling might force the apple tv into recovery. Is this true?

fleet parcel
#

@wooden acorn yes

#

but you can use any apple tv remote

wooden acorn
#

If I had one I would

fleet parcel
#

is Apple TV 4, or 4K

wooden acorn
#

ATV 4

fleet parcel
#

ok

#

but yeah, if you have USB-C

#

you should be able to restore without a remote

#

just plug 'er in

devout estuary
#

I haven’t used reprovision in a long time either, is that back and working again?

fleet parcel
#

yes

wooden acorn
#

Well power-cycling is not working. peepoCry

#

I don't even see the apple icon anymore

devout estuary
#

It shows failure when I sign in with my Apple ID and Cydia impactor password on both my atv and on my phone. Do I need to revoke certificates on my Mac first?

fleet parcel
#

@wooden acorn have you tried plugging it into itunes?

#

@devout estuary Cydia impactors broken to free developer accounts

wooden acorn
#

I am using a mac so I am assuming it should show up on finder

#

it doesn't appear though after multiple cycles

devout estuary
#

Do I generate a new user id and password then?

fleet parcel
#

@wooden acorn i wonder if your apple tv is booting at all

wooden acorn
#

oh no

fleet parcel
#

@devout estuary use xcode

devout estuary
#

I used xcode to sideload Unc0ver. Do I need to sideload reprovision with Xcode as well?

fleet parcel
#

no

#

it's on nitoTV

devout estuary
#

That’s what I did. I wonder why my password I’ve used on there previously about a year ago isn’t working.

fleet parcel
#

do you have 2fa?

devout estuary
#

Since I don’t know what that is, I’m going to say no.

fleet parcel
#

ah, may have to downgrade repro

devout estuary
#

Ok do you know what version I need?

fleet parcel
#

the one below the latest

devout estuary
#

The one below that latest .4.6 crashes back to the home screen when attempting to open.

#

Wait a minute. I think I need .4.7.

storm ridge
#

@devout estuary Hmmm, I didn't know Reprovision was back. If you get it working let me know what version I need to go to thx

devout estuary
#

.4.6 crashes on open. .4.7 and newest both are saying “Failure unknown error occurred” after trying to log in

storm ridge
#

@fleet parcel I was able to eventually jb that 4HD box (the one that gave me trouble before the weekend. Now I'm attempting to jb a spare 4k box I have. Again, it was sitting around on 12.4 Chimera since August. I re-installed 1.3.9 Chimera, jb it and afterwards Nito once again crashed upon opening, just like my previous 4hd box.

So, scratching my head, I'm thinking it might be a problem caused by the Chimera version. So I re-installed Chimera 1.3.5 which is what I used originally and voila Nito opened and updated. Problem solved there.

#

However, I am now trying to run Restore RootFS and once again it just hangs.... does nothing. I can SSH into the box so should I do what we tried before. The only difference is this time since my Nito was able to open and get updated I installed snappy

fleet parcel
#

I'd get on 13.4.5 asap... Apples rushing to launch updates

#

@storm ridge your best bet, is to remove chimera, install unc0ver beta 3 and restore root fs on unc0ver. But before doing so, make sure you head up to the settings inside unc0ver and turn off "disable ota" and turn on "restore root fs"

#

Don't need them

storm ridge
#

So install unc0ver beta3 on 12.4 ?

fleet parcel
#

Yes

#

Then just follow the instructions above

#

The commands you posted were only there because you couldn't use nitoTV properly which caused your jb to go haywire

storm ridge
#

ok will give it a go

#

@fleet parcel so I got Unc0verb3 installed now on my 4k box with 12.4. I haven't jailbroken yet. I just want to be sure. Do I jb it or not?

fleet parcel
#

no

#

@storm ridge your best bet, is to remove chimera, install unc0ver beta 3 and restore root fs on unc0ver. But before doing so, make sure you head up to the settings inside unc0ver and turn off "disable ota" and turn on "restore root fs"

storm ridge
#

ok where is disable ota? Do you mean Disable Auto Updates should be OFF

fleet parcel
#

yes

storm ridge
#

ok disable auto updates is OFF
Then, Restore RootFS should be ON right?

fleet parcel
#

yes

storm ridge
#

hmmm, it does not let me turn Restore Root FS on

fleet parcel
#

just gotta click it

storm ridge
#

when I click it, it jumps to Export TFP0

#

ok now it's ON

fleet parcel
storm ridge
#

don't know what was happening before

fleet parcel
#

yeah, make sure that export thing is turned off

storm ridge
#

do I leave the rest of the settings as is?
(Re)install OpenSSH - off
Reinstall NitoTV - off

fleet parcel
#

yes

#

head back to the main screen

#

the button should say "Restore-RootFS"

storm ridge
#

yes it does... just one more thing, does it matter what version my NitoTV is currently at?

fleet parcel
#

no

storm ridge
#

says Jailbreak Completed saying the system needs to reboot to finish the jb process. But I click on OK and nothing happens

fleet parcel
#

that's fine, reboot

storm ridge
#

I clicked on View Log and now back at the home screen

#

Nito is gone and blank white icons for OldTube and Kodi

fleet parcel
#

once rebooted, head to Apple TVs Settings - System and Reset. Then just Reset

storm ridge
#

Unc0ver is there

#

So I have to reset all my settings? No choice to do an update like before?

fleet parcel
#

nah

#

your updates are blocked

#

thanks to Chimera

storm ridge
#

It gives me the option to update now so I'm trying that

fleet parcel
#

🤦

storm ridge
#

will it fail?

fleet parcel
#

i dunno, probably

storm ridge
#

it it fails I guess I'll try the reset option then

fleet parcel
#

ok

cosmic tinsel
#

how do i setup my apple tv without a remote? i have a MFI controller.

storm ridge
#

update worked, no reset required. Now to run the jb, should I...
Disable Auto Updates - OFF
ReInstall OpenSSH - ON
Reinstall NitoTV - ON

fleet parcel
#

okay disable updates on

#

restore root fs off

storm ridge
#

Got it working now, took a few re-jailbreak attempts though. Under the Nito settings, do we set Software Updates to Disabled? Are these Apple updates or Nito ones?

#

@fleet parcel thanks again, you rock! 👍

fleet parcel
#

Don't need to touch that

#

just update nitoTV and you're set

devout estuary
#

Now I’m having issues with my 4 updating from 12.4 to current. Won’t update just gets stuck. Reset it several times

fleet parcel
#

@devout estuary are you jb?

devout estuary
#

I was but it reboot probably months back and I never jb again.

#

It’s the one in a room I rarely use.

fleet parcel
#

Install unc0ver beta 3

devout estuary
#

Ok one moment. Gotta get Xcode fired up.

cosmic tinsel
#

hm

devout estuary
#

Once I get Xcode up and get uncover b3 on it I’m assuming restore ROOTFS?

fleet parcel
#

yes

#

but make sure you turn off the disable auto updates feature first

devout estuary
#

In settings or NitoTV?

fleet parcel
#

unc0ver settings

devout estuary
#

Seems to have worked. It found the update.

carmine gull
#

Anyone else having a problem with NitoTV not installing when running the jJaiobreak#

#

Jailbreak. With uncover.

devout estuary
#

I think you have to jb twice. And when I didn’t see it I just reboot and jb again.

fleet parcel
#

@carmine gull need help?

carmine gull
#

I’ll try that again. But I’ve done that like 4 times. I just have bag luck xD

#

@fleet parcel Yes please

fleet parcel
#

what tvOS/Device?

carmine gull
#

Apple TV 4K (AppleTV 6,2) model J105aAP. iOS 13.4.5 on the pastiest unc0ver

fleet parcel
#

wow...

carmine gull
#

Latest

#

Huh lol

fleet parcel
#

could've just said 4K/13.4.5

#

but I appreciate the details 😉

carmine gull
#

Lol I’ve only jailbroken my phone. Never an Apple TV. I didn’t know how much you wanted xD

fleet parcel
#

No worries. Restore root fs

carmine gull
#

Will that delete everything on it? If so it’s fine I just need to write down what I have installed

#

Oh I see it doesn’t now 😛

fleet parcel
#

no

carmine gull
#

Alright. I’m trying to rejailbreak now

fleet parcel
#

cool

carmine gull
#

That worked! Thanks so much!

#

Do you make tweaks?

fleet parcel
#

i try

mildPanic

carmine gull
#

Any out yet? 😄

fleet parcel
#

wip

carmine gull
#

What’s that do

fleet parcel
#

wip = Work In Progress

carmine gull
#

Oh lol. I don’t keep up with abbreviations

fleet parcel
#

thats ok

tardy inlet
#

anyone wanna tell me what you can do with a jailbroken apple tv

#

cuz i might buy one

fleet parcel
#

@tardy inlet So much 😉

undone vine
#

anyone wanna tell me what you can do with a jailbroken apple tv
@tardy inlet which one? I almost bought the 4K and luckily @fleet parcel advised me to buy the 4 (HD) which have the USB port. Since checkra1n is a hardware glitch than the 4 HD will probably be able to be jailbroken also on future TVOS versions.

fleet parcel
#

" checkra1n is a hardware glitch" nah.. its a bootrom exploit

undone vine
#

" checkra1n is a hardware glitch" nah.. its a bootrom exploit
@fleet parcel protected flash inside the processor is not considered HW glitch since it can not be foxed by software update?

fleet parcel
#

nah

#

a hw glitch isn't persistent with every update

cosmic tinsel
#

checkra1n is bootrom like the switch exploit

torn spade
#

I mean a hw glitch would be persistent on that hardware but software could possibly me written to mitigate it

fleet parcel
#

indeed, hence the exploit instead of a "glitch"

zenith inlet
#

Is there a tweak like ReProvision for jailbreak on 4k or do I have to resign kodi every week

frigid moat
#

If you're jailbroken kodi doesn't need to be signed
Reprovision is on JTV's repo I think

zenith inlet
#

I am but there is only kodi for iOS 9 and kodi matrix which apparently doesn’t work with venom from my understanding

#

It doesn’t look reprovison works anyways keeps throwing error to update Xcode you resign uncover

autumn talon
#

what is better for tvOS 13.4.5 unc0verTV or chimeraTV?

#

jailbreaking to mainly use reprovision on an apple tv 4K

silk rivet
#

Do ios beta profiles still work as a preventive mesure from unwanted updates on the ATV when in non-jailbroken mode?

storm ridge
#

Anyone using Infuse 4 on tvOS 13? Seems to have issues getting metadata. I have used it since ver. 10 and will only update if this issue is a confirmed one.

fleet parcel
#

@autumn talon seeing as you can get to the latest with unc0ver, I'd say unc0ver tv

#

@silk rivet no, but you can use WatchOS betas using MCPatchTV

@fleet parcel Thanks!

@zenith inlet I see Kodi 17 which works fine on tvOS 13.4.5

#

in the repo

#

@storm ridge Infuse works fine for me on 13.4.5 - occasionally it takes a while / a few refreshes to get metadata but most of the time it’s fine

#

wait I have Infuse 6

fleet parcel
#

@haughty thorn checkra1n is fine with tvOS 13.4.6

haughty thorn
#

thank you

carmine granite
#

Does anyone knows where exactly I can instal profiles? I have an ATV4K

storm ridge
#

@fleet parcel Darn I still have some 4k's on 12.4 I wanted to update later today, oh well hope the Unc0ver team will find another way

fleet parcel
#

@storm ridge At least you managed to get one (4K) on 13.4.5 though..

zenith inlet
#

@analog elk do you happen to know which repo? When I searched up kodi I o lay had matrix and kodi for ios9

fleet parcel
#

Kodi for ios 9?

#

you mean Kodi 17

zenith inlet
#

Oh is that it lol ok

#

I assumed it only worked on iOS 9 didn’t want to install and mess it up

fleet parcel
#

Kodi 17 on nitoTV works with all tvOS versions.

storm ridge
#

@fleet parcel yes and one 4HD. I was just about to start on the rest too... agh

fleet parcel
#

@storm ridge 'tis okay, having one updated is good enough

zenith inlet
#

Ok thanks for letting me know. To@clarify does reprovison work to resign or do you have to use the Xcode method?

fleet parcel
#

Xcode would be preferred.

#

just don't reboot after signing.

zenith inlet
#

Loosing my hackintosh for about a month so won’t have lol

fleet parcel
#

You may use VMs too

zenith inlet
#

My pc won’t run one to shitty 😢

#

Lol I’ll just make sure not to shut it off

fleet parcel
#

I've got a thinkpad from 1997 with a VM.. it still signs fine

zenith inlet
#

Hmm 🤨 maybe I’ll try again then, last tome I tried won’t load it

fathom lodge
#

how do I jailbreak my apple tv4K?

#

using Unc0ver

fleet parcel
#

What tvOS are you on?

fathom lodge
#

lemme double check, one second

#

13.3 (17K449)

storm ridge
fleet parcel
#

Its still signed @storm ridge but since there's no IPSWs for it... it's impossible to downgrade to it

#

@fathom lodge You can install unc0ver to your 4K, then go ahead and jailbreak. Are you already jailbroken?

fathom lodge
#

I am not, I’ve only Jailbroken my phone.

fleet parcel
#

Ah, splendid.

storm ridge
#

@fathom lodge I am jailbroken on 12.4 Chimera

fathom lodge
#

How do I install it to my AppleTV I apologize for all the trouble...

storm ridge
#

with the 4K, not the 4HD

fleet parcel
fathom lodge
#

Gotcha, I’ve only messed with Jailbreaks on my iPhone so never on a Apple TV

storm ridge
#

I think @fleet parcel is saying that by default the 4k's will go straight to 13.4.6

fleet parcel
#

^

fathom lodge
#

Thank you! @fleet parcel

storm ridge
#

I believe the window is still open for the 4HD

fathom lodge
#

Is impactor still down? I have a Mac but it’s fidigty

storm ridge
#

@fleet parcel am I correct that even though I am jailbroken 12.4 Chimera on a 4k, if I install Unc0ver and Restore RootFS then run Software update it will go to 13.4.6 correct?? If so, the box is no longer jailbreakable.

#

@fathom lodge I believe Impactor is not working for awhile now

fathom lodge
#

Fml

#

Okay

#

how do I connect my Apple TV to my PC? I do not see a micro USB or other connection spot besides a power, HDMI, and Ethernet

fleet parcel
#

@fathom lodge With no USB on the 4K, you can connect wirelessly

#

just head to Remotes and Apps section inside Settings

fathom lodge
#

okok

@haughty thorn The latest SEP is compatible for downgrading to 13.4.5 (tvOS). May be also possible via iOS if blobs are saved.

@fleet parcel> @undone vine tss1conan
@fleet parcel on NitoTV I can see only tssagent, is it also good?

fleet parcel
#

yes, that /should/ save blobs whilst jailbroken

undone vine
#

yes, that /should/ save blobs whilst jailbroken
@fleet parcel after installed the blobs are saved automatically? The isn’t any app icon/menu/interface..

fleet parcel
#

There wouldn't be

#

its a process that runs in the background of your device

#

But, I'd manually save them too.. just for a peace of mind

rocky pewter
#

Looking into getting Apple TV, what does benefits does jailbreaking it have?

#

Never jailbroke apple tv before

cosmic tinsel
#

is it possible to add more storage to the apple tv 4?

fleet parcel
#

@cosmic tinsel no

#

@rocky pewter The benefits are in the pin

rocky pewter
#

THanks @fleet parcel

fleet parcel
#

IMO 32GBs is more than enough 😉

rocky pewter
#

Appreciate you!

fleet parcel
#

yes

Is there something I need to do to block this on an Apple TV 4? I already disabled software updates in tvOS itself @fleet parcel

@analog elk install MCPatchTV will allow you to install the WatchOS beta profile

#

I'm still on 10.14. Is there any way to get the tvOS 13.4 SDK on Mojave's xcode?

@fleet parcel I installed it, now how do I install the Watch OS profile please

wind idol
#

hi guys, anyone got a solution for “Unable to install” on Xcode ?

@fleet parcel When you get a chance please let me know how to install the watchOS profile. Thank you so much for everything!

high bear
#

damn missed the 13.4.5 window

autumn talon
#

still signed?

#

@fleet parcel is there a reprovision tutorial anywhere? and does reprovision cover sideloaded apps as well as uncovertv the application

storm ridge
#

@autumn talon I believe it is but no way to selectively get the 4k to upgrade to 13.4.5 instead of 13.4.6. I got one 4k upgraded in time but still have a few others on 12.4.

#

I got a 4hd and 4k on 13.4.5. Couple of things if it helps developers... I found on the 4k, the reboot option in Nito does not seem to trigger. Not a big deal cause it can be done the Apple way. The other thing, I upgraded my Infuse subscription which carries across all my devices. On the 4hd no issues, but on the 4k it would not register the upgrade. Had to reboot out of JB, then the upgrade worked, then re-jailbroke again.

fleet parcel
#

@autumn talon working on testing it..

icy wolf
#

@fleet parcel there is tvOS 13.4.6 is out

fleet parcel
#

@storm ridge yeah, the 4K is having oddball issues with the jb

#

@icy wolf yes.

icy wolf
#

does unc0ver jb works on 13.4.6?

storm ridge
#

@analog elk @fleet parcel I am getting software popups too. Apple just doesn't give up, they want to kill jb's. Looks like this MCPatchTV is supposed to show up in the tweaks section, but doesn't. 😩

#

@fleet parcel Back to the old method for now 👍

fleet parcel
#

@icy wolf no. Do not update.

#

@storm ridge i know, I'm still working on it..

storm ridge
small flower
#

Sounds like I should put my ATV 4K in Sleep mode unless I need it lest it updates itself somehow

storm ridge
#

@small flower or unplug it for now and just re-jb as needed

small flower
#

I am not jbing it until a more stable u0 is out I think

#

Will unplug as suggested though since it does wake up for no reason sometimes lol

#

Thanks @storm ridge

fleet parcel
#

I know, still working on it

fleet parcel
#

@lofty gorge yup, tweak compatibility

#

I am Jailbroken and have unc0ver set to disable appletv updates. It keeps popping up to update and I keep saying update later is that normal?

@fleet parcel Followed your instructions with the updated link and get this:

...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.

#

There’s actually an extra space the way you have it on your tweet lol

#

That’s probably why it’s not working

#

I’ll try it in the morning

fleet parcel
#

@analog elk I blame twitter...

fleet parcel
#

checkra1n imo.. seeing as u0 is still in beta

high bear
#

@autumn talon can you update on a 4k? i thought you couldn't

fleet parcel
#

@high bear you can, but stay away from it

autumn talon
#

i just ordered a 4k and now im anxious whether it will come with 13.4.5 or 4.6

fleet parcel
#

@autumn talon regardless of what tvOS comes with it... it won't be the latest.

#

which means; it'll be unc0verable

autumn talon
#

ok great

#

thank u

fleet parcel
#

just gotta block updates

autumn talon
#

yeah

fleet parcel
#

...which i'm currently working on

vapid dock
#

So is there a way for me to update a 4K to 13.4.5 instead of 13.4.6?

vapid dock
#

Can I use the apple configurator 2 and Xcode method, as if I was installing a beta os?

storm ridge
#

@vapid dock As far as I know, I don't think it's possible like on the 4HD due to a lack of a USB port. It's a shame because 13.4.5 IPSW is still signed. If there was a tool for those currently jailbroken on lower versions to SSH in and copy it over and then install/upgrade.

steep galleon
#

@lofty gorge reprovision works

#

Been using it for quite a bit now

#

On auto sign

storm ridge
#

@steep galleon what version do you have installed and what tvOS version are you on?

steep galleon
#

13.4.5 tvOS on 4hd and 4K

#

Repro would be whatever nitotv has right now

#

Auto signs unc0ver no problem

#

Had it auto signing chimera for awhile and I deleted chimera

#

Unless it broke since Saturday

storm ridge
#

ok will give it a try again, thought it was EOL with the "that's all folks" version released on iOS

steep galleon
#

I believe Matt Clark stated that the most recent version will be the last version

#

If it breaks again cause of Apple he will no longer fix it

#

It started working again in February

storm ridge
#

ok thx I deleted reprovision thinking it was kaput

#

How are you finding the 4k on 13.4.5 ? I noticed some minor glitches, worst was the remote wouldn't respond to swipes. Had to reboot and re-jailbreak. While testing the one box Apple closed the window so I have a few 4k's on 12.4 still.

steep galleon
#

I feel my 4K works better but it always typically worked well. I noticed my 4HD runs so much smoother now.

storm ridge
#

I hope there's a solution for the non-usb 4k box. The breakout box and soldering pushes the limit for most. The 4HD will likely not see an update to tvOS 14. This will give Apple a leg up on the jb community as the 4HD eventually becomes obsolete

analog elk
#

@fleet parcel Thanks I successfully installed the WatchOS profile. Do I now need to use ReProvision to keep unc0ver signed, And can I use any Apple ID within my family to do so?

#

Looks like you guys answered my question @storm ridge @steep galleon

storm ridge
#

@analog elk You can use any Apple ID

steep galleon
#

@storm ridge sadly I can see 4HD been phased out shortly

#

If they make it to tvOS 14 that’ll be the last one

#

Cause I can see Apple TV 8K coming

storm ridge
#

@analog elk If I recall, the proper profile needed is anything but the tvOS profile. In the past I use to install an iOS profile on my box. And now I'm reading we should be using a watchOS profile.

analog elk
#

Edited my message, I used Watch OS

#

That was pre ☕️

storm ridge
analog elk
#

Yes

#

Worked fine

storm ridge
#

ok, I will try again, last night it would not work

analog elk
#

For some reason it took me a couple of minutes. If you’re using the Remote app on your iPhone or iPad to enter the URL, make sure there are no “invisible” space is remaining in the URL field on your Apple TV

#

Hope that makes sense

#

I want to get an Apple TV

#

Anybody finna convincing me?

#

( :

storm ridge
#

@analog elk still does not want to install, what are the invisible spaces you are referring to?

#

I've tried using the Apple remote and iPhone remote app. I am using this url http://joshtv.net/profile.mobileconfig. No go I get the following error
"Couldn't install the profile [0]. Check the URL and try again."
The url above does download a profile on my Mac, so only the appletv is not recognizing it

fleet parcel
#

@storm ridge it's a bug. It works with the Apple TV 4 but not the 4K. I have yet to investigate this issue further but haven't had the time to.. I will soon

#

@analog elk doooo it!

#

If you set disable auto updates to off, then re-jailbreak, i bet the Apple nagging will go away.

analog elk
#

Ah, I need to do it on my TV as well

fleet parcel
#

😜

#

If this bug is valid on iOS.. 9/10 on tvOS too..

analog elk
#

And I’m assuming then we wait for him to release a new version of unc0ver

#

To fix that

fleet parcel
#

Yes, but it /should/ work regardless

storm ridge
#

@fleet parcel It doesn't seem to work with my 4HD either. The url is correct, now it just says "This profile cannot be installed on Apple TV"

fleet parcel
#

@storm ridge Impossible!! what tvOS is it on?

storm ridge
#

13.4.5

#

i tried it in jb and non-jb mode, both manually and with iphone remote

fleet parcel
#

you need to install MCPatchTV (jb mode) @storm ridge

analog elk
#

is there an easier way to screenshot than SSHing in and running screencapture?

fleet parcel
#

@analog elk yes, use QuickTime and screenshot that

analog elk
#

I don’t have a Mac

fleet parcel
analog elk
#

hmm, I could use Shortcuts

storm ridge
#

@fleet parcel Does not work even with MCPatchTV installed in jb mode

fleet parcel
#

@storm ridge could i see a screenshot of what you type in?

storm ridge
fleet parcel
#

Ah.. so the bug isn't with 13.4.5...

#

its with unc0ver

#

because I've got my 4K checkra1ned and the profile installs

#

@storm ridge I'll be investigating further

#

but i bet its u0 😉

ocean schooner
#

possible to sideload to 4k without mac?

fleet parcel
#

@ocean schooner yes, with a Virtual Machine

storm ridge
#

Should I just re-jb with the Disable Auto Updates in Unc0ver set to OFF for now?

analog elk
vapid dock
#

@storm ridge
Ok thanks. I was thinking perhaps I could manually download 13.4.5 and then use  conf2 and Xcode to install it, like I would a beta version, but don’t want to risk loosing my current jailbreak-able version of its not even possible. I’ll just focus on the my HD boxes.

fleet parcel
#

@storm ridge Well, I've got my u0 auto updates set to OFF and its not giving me an update

#

so, feel free

#

@analog elk "hey siri.. take a screenie of my apple tv"

carmine granite
#

does anyone knows how to get the udid from the ATV4K with no mac?

storm ridge
#

@carmine granite Apple Configurator does

#

sorry, ya just read that... I suppose you could borrow a mac or setup a VM

carmine granite
#

Maybe if I provide the S/N to the genius they could get the udid and gave it to me.

analog elk
#

there are profiles you can install to get the UDID

#

or uiduid in terminal if already jailbroken

vapid dock
#

Just a thought, Can we jailbreak on 13.4.5 beta, if it’s same build # as the final 13.4.5?

fleet parcel
#

@vapid dock Yes, you can. But I don't know how well the beta fairs against beta jailbreaks...

vapid dock
#

But if I install the 13.4.5 beta on my 4K I could use unc0ver w that? I checked and the build numbers are the same. @fleet parcel

fleet parcel
#

Yes, you could

#

just.. be careful. Expect errors (hopefully no bootloops)

#

what tvOS is your 4K currently on?

vapid dock
#

Ok thanks. Might give it a try, test it out.
Currently it’s on 12.1 or 12.1.1.
@fleet parcel

#

I normally don’t use it, I use 2 HD boxes, just thought if I could get it up to 13 I’d hook it up and use it on my 4K tv.

#

I use my  tv’s for my HomeKit stuff so I try to keep em up to date as possible to keep from having compatibility issues. Hopefully the rumored mini homepods come this fall and I can use that instead.

fleet parcel
#

@vapid dock just make sure you restore root fs via unc0ver

ocean schooner
#

uploaded rom to provenance

#

not showing up

#

do i need to restart or something

#

should i be uploading as zip instead of raw rom?

fleet parcel
#

Depends on the rom.. @ocean schooner

ocean schooner
#

nvm didn’t realize they changed directory of roms

#

from roms to Imports

#

works now

#

should there be com.apple.siri.bundleservicecache.plist in the imports folder?

vapid dock
#

@fleet parcel
The 4K has never been jailbroke, just got it awhile back and it came on 12.X. I plugged up and made sure all worked as should and put it back in the box, I’ve been using my HD boxes and haven’t even JB them since last update due to using spectrum. Lol.

ocean schooner
#

4k is jb capable now

fleet parcel
#

Ah @vapid dock did you manage to install the profile?

ocean schooner
#

even without breakout board

fleet parcel
#

@ocean schooner yes

ocean schooner
#

what’s the profile for? blocking updates?

#

if so, i need

fleet parcel
#

@ocean schooner what tvOS is your 4K?

ocean schooner
#

13.4.5

#

i’m jail broken but just started getting the 13.4.6 notification

#

i have auto update disabled in settings so i’m fine it’s just annoying

fleet parcel
#

@ocean schooner Go to unc0ver and turn OFF disable auto updates

ocean schooner
#

also uploaded roms to roms folder for mame and it’s not detecting them

fleet parcel
#

then re-jailbreak

ocean schooner
#

that’s kinda counter intuitive

#

but ok

#

nvm mame shows up after reboot

vapid dock
#

At work now, will attempt it when I get home this evening. @fleet parcel

ocean schooner
#

now what? or is that it for fixing updates @fleet parcel

fleet parcel
#

@ocean schooner yes, fixes update issue

ocean schooner
#

that’s so weird

fleet parcel
#

nah, just a bug

ocean schooner
#

does mame not work with apple tv remote

fleet parcel
#

not AFAIK

ocean schooner
#

oof neither does retro arch

#

guess i gotta use a dualshock 4

#

for some reason provenance loaded my rom but not the cover

#

pokemon emerald

#

refreshing image cache didn’t work

#

has game info but no art

fleet parcel
#

@ocean schooner you can use a wider range of controls with nControl..

ocean schooner
#

doesn’t apple tv have built in controller support for dualshock

fleet parcel
#

Yes, just saying you have more compatibility with the tweak

ocean schooner
#

yeah

#

apparently provenance not downloading art is a common bug

fleet parcel
#

FYI @haughty thorn Updating to 13.4.5 is still possible on the 4K via beta profiles

ocean schooner
#

should i delete these?

#

why are they in my imports

fleet parcel
#

I wouldn't delete them.

storm ridge
#

@fleet parcel hmm, so updating the 4k using beta profiles will give you 13.4.5 beta? I'm on 12.4 which is very stable, probably not worth the risk what do you think?

#

@fleet parcel I have one more 4HD that is on 12.4 that I want to update. Is there any way to get it straight to 13.4.5 without wiping the entire device and losing all the settings? I believe the only option is iTunes restore correct?

fleet parcel
#

@storm ridge I wouldn't risk it tbh

#

@storm ridge as for your HD, you may update OTA (after you restore rootFS) and that'll preserve data

storm ridge
#

@fleet parcel won't it give me 13.4.6 though?

fleet parcel
#

I was thinking via profile 😉

storm ridge
#

that would be cool, I've never done that. Where is the profile and how exactly do I do it?... Apple Configurator?

fleet parcel
storm ridge
#

So restore rootFS, install the profile, then update OTA.... is that the idea?

fleet parcel
#

yeah

#

theoretically, it should work. As for stability... 🤷‍♂️

ocean schooner
#

good tweaks for tvos?

#

or is emulation and controller support still pretty much it

#

also, is it possible with jb to have vpn directly on the device or do i still need to do it through router

storm ridge
#

Profile installed, Nito is up to date but Restore RootFS just hangs again. For my other HD box I installed unc0ver and just jailbroke and ran restore rootFS. Do I do follow the same steps except this time the profile is installed

fleet parcel
#

@storm ridge that message is normal for nitoTV

storm ridge
#

The build says 13.4.5 (Stable) (Build: 17L562)
My other HD box which I jailbroke on Saturday has exactly the same info
So, does that mean the beta profile gave me the same version?

#

If so, wouldn't the profile for the 4k give the same result?

fleet parcel
#

Most likely

#

/hopefully/ 🤞

fleet parcel
#

@storm ridge is that with the beta installed?

storm ridge
#

ya, I just did a run through on the apps and it looks good so far

#

All app prefs were saved, so the update went smoothly. I think I am going to try a 4k update. Which profile should I use?

fleet parcel
#

The one for 13.4.5

torn spade
#

wait you can make it use 13.4.5 on an update with a profile when it's not newest?

devout estuary
#

As long as it’s still being signed I think so.

ocean schooner
#

yeah 13.4.5 and beta still signed

storm ridge
#

@torn spade on the 4HD it worked for me, see the screen shot i posted. I jumped from 12.4 right to 13.4.5 (stable)

#

My guess Apple will stop signing 13.4.5 by Monday the latest... no guarantees though.

fleet parcel
#

That profile @storm ridge is for 13.4.5

#

If you want the WatchOS one, just add "file" to the word "pro"

#

@torn spade indeed.

high bear
#

wait what @fleet parcel you can install that profile to OTA update a 4k?

#

i just saw the post on r/jailbreak

#

ah nvm just read, you don't recommend it still

fleet parcel
#

@high bear You can if you'd like, just be careful

high bear
#

ehhhhh is there any real significant updates from 12.4 to 13.4.5 though. 12.4 on chimera is pretty much perfect for me

#

just don't want to not get updates in the future

fleet parcel
#

yupp.. 13 gives you CC

#

and background video previews

#

plus it's smoother too

high bear
#

damn you're making this tempting lol

fleet parcel
#

honestly, its great!

high bear
#

@fleet parcel okay i'm convinced. do i backup Kodi using Xcode or SSHing in?

fleet parcel
#

Kodi can be backed up via an add-on simply called "Backup"

#

you just gotta SSH it off your device

high bear
#

Okay lol figured most of it out now, do I SSH the whole Kodi folder (which contains my backup) onto my computer, restore RootFS, download the profile from your site, then update OTA?

#

and to confirm the Kodi folder is /applications/Kodi.app right lol don't want it to be someplace else that I'm not seeing. Also not too sure but I used backup and nothing new was created in the directory that I used but 🤷‍♂️

frigid moat
#

user settings aren't in the /applications folder

analog elk
#

Best nitoTV sources???!!!

#

and best tweaks to recommend?

#

or apps + themes etc

frigid moat
#

mine is /private/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/92C9F09D-243D-4726-A191-611C69D43169/Library/Preferences/Kodi/

high bear
#

ahh now i see the backup good save @frigid moat

#

So I should save the whole folder with the numbers/letters then

frigid moat
#

I'm guessing that you'd only need the backup file that was created, maybe JTV can confirm

#

Couldn't hurt to download the whole folder 🤷

high bear
#

lol so far over a gig maybe that was the wrong decision

#

but i guess i don't need anything from the applications/kodi.app folder then

frigid moat
#

afaik /applications/kodi.app is only the app and its required resources

#

plugins & settings go to the /library folder

fleet parcel
#

@high bear when you overwrite userdata manually, it'll corrupt

#

just use the add-on

high bear
#

ohh so the only thing i should be backing up is the folder that backup created

fleet parcel
#

the backup creates a .zip

#

you just pull that off

#

then put it back on and restore from it

analog elk
#

My nitotv is frozen?

fleet parcel
#

@analog elk need some deets

analog elk
#

I restarted my tv and got it working again

#

the whole app froze, and wouldn’t work after reopening

fleet parcel
#

still have no deets...

analog elk
#

it was stuck on the screen where it shows featured packages and all, but there was nothing on the screen it was just blank

#

Where it would usually show Featured Packages there was nothing

#

This is on Checkra1n tvOS 13.4

fleet parcel
#

4K or HD?

analog elk
#

HD

fleet parcel
#

Ah yes, usually the issue subsides with a reboot and re-jb

analog elk
#

@fleet parcel appreciate it, is the Pandora TV on your repo a cracked Pandora where I can skip more etc?

fleet parcel
#

No

#

it's specifically for those without access to the app on their store

analog elk
#

Ohh dope, appreciate it I like how you implemented the video previews too, replicates the App Store

fleet parcel
#

👍

high bear
#

alright here we go its downloaded

#

so first download the profile from @fleet parcel repo, then reboot, restore rootFS and rejailbreak, reboot again, then update OTA, correct?

#

also for the nitoTV thing, do i set software updates to "enabled" or "disabled"

fleet parcel
#

are you on a 4K?

high bear
#

yep

fleet parcel
#

install the provision, you don't need the tweak

#

sideload u0, restore rootFS, update, then turn OFF "disable auto updates" and jailbreak

high bear
#

you mean the profile on your website?

fleet parcel
#

yes

small flower
#

Oh, the profile still works for ATV 4K?

#

I thought the profiles no longer work for all iOS/tvOS devices

fleet parcel
#

The beta is still signed @small flower it'll work to update to a jbable version

#

and profiles do work to block, you just need MCPatchTV

small flower
#

I see, since I am on 13.4.5 already I wont need the beta I think?

fleet parcel
#

nope

#

it's mainly for those still on 11.x/12 who've missed the window when Apple launched 13.4.6

high bear
#

is the beta pretty much the same software wise as the one released

#

okay wait so i downloaded the profile, should i OTA update now?

#

@fleet parcel haven't side loaded u0 yet, but i'm on an unjailbroken state with the profile installed

fleet parcel
#

okay

#

the beta may be slightly different in terms of stability than the official update

#

but its worth jailbreaking imo

high bear
#

damn this is risky lol 12.4 has done no harm to me

#

except the twitch crashes which are super annoying

fleet parcel
#

if you're fine, then don't update

high bear
#

but anyways do I update now?

fleet parcel
#

its only if you want the latest and greatest

high bear
#

ah i'll risk it

#

after those glowing reviews you gave it

small flower
#

tvOS 13 looks smoother, that was one reason why I updated

fleet parcel
#

if you've got the profile installed, just Restore RootFS and then go update

#

but make sure the screen says "13.4.5" and not "13.4.6"

high bear
#

restore rootFS with chimera or should i side load u0 first

fleet parcel
#

restore via u0

high bear
#

xcode is giving me the highest deployment target of 13.2 rn

fleet parcel
#

you only need Xcode to make a provision and to sideload

#

you don't need to make an app

high bear
#

okay sorry hopefully this is the last question but to restore on u0, i turn off everything (ltd tweaks, disable auto updates, etc.) except restore RootFS, then click jailbreak? @fleet parcel

#

still on 12.4

#

then i update through OTA

fleet parcel
#

no...

#

the only thing you need to turn off is Disable Auto Updates

high bear
#

and restore rootFS off? I saw the thing about it being opposite on unc0ver

#

then hit jailbreak

#

sorry josh pretty new to the appletv side of it

fleet parcel
#

@high bear no... are you reading anything i say?

#

the only thing you need to turn off is Disable Auto Updates
@high bear

high bear
#

ah okay sorry was a bit confused

fleet parcel
#

no worries

high bear
#

uhh okay Its saying "your appletv is up to date" even though i have the beta profile installed

#

Might be because of that old bug I had when the "you are using a legacy blocking" thing when opening nitotv

fleet parcel
#

what tvOS are you on?

high bear
#

12.4

fleet parcel
#

do you have u0 installed?

high bear
#

yes i do, but i think i kind of figured it out? in the past I went into internal settings and took out the asset and brain server URL

#

but its spinning on update software so we'll see if it changes

fleet parcel
#

i dunno why you're touching that...

high bear
#

yeah i read on reddit somewhere that that was how you prevented software updates :/

fleet parcel
#

uhh.. that's an ooooold method

#

no longer works

#

try not to touch that

high bear
#

alright a couple restarts later and its downloading thanks for the help so far josh

high bear
#

okay everything working, tvOS 13.4.5 is awesome, only thing is i can't seem to find the same SSH folder for Kodi as backup used to reupload the backup

frigid moat
#

the bit with numbers is going to change

#

it should be /private/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/Some random string/Library/Preferences/Kodi/

high bear
#

@frigid moat I clicked through every single one, it didn't seem to change but its for sure not synced up as I made a new backup just to check and its not showing up when i ssh into that folder

frigid moat
#

mine's been different every time I updated tvOS 🤷
you should be able to find it logged in via ssh
find / -name Kodi

high bear
#

only thing that shows up there is /applications/kodi.app/kodi

frigid moat
#

have you run kodi yet?

high bear
#

yep

#

im on it right now trying to navigate on the backupaddon

frigid moat
#

not sure, the only thing that comes to mind is kodi generates user prefs on exit but that doesn't really make sense to me tbh.

#

i'd try to do something that changes a configuration in kodi, close it, and see if you can locate it with /find after that

#

are you using K or k for kodi btw

high bear
#

i ran both

#

small k gives me the same applications/kodi.app/appdata

frigid moat
#

yeah caps matters, mine is Kodi

high bear
#

yeah the Kodi one gives me just a broader applications/kodi.app/kodi

#

i think i just have to find the correct folder, the one with the same string is probably incorrect since it seems to not be finding that new backup I created

#

ah actually i got it thanks to you @frigid moat

#

I used your command and searched for the new backup I created

frigid moat
#

awesome zoop

high bear
#

thanks man

frigid moat
#

yw

high bear
#

well, doesn't work since it says its a different version (idk how since they're both from nitoTV and 17.6), but whatever I guess. I'll try a bit more and if not then I'll just manually reinstall everything

jaunty rune
#

Device froze so rebooted. Unc0ver won’t open but other apps that were signed with ReProvision do. Y is this

fleet parcel
#

@jaunty rune could be a bug

analog elk
#

So I airdropped a couple of files to my Apple TV 4HD, And I updated Ethereal But I don’t see the media files within Ethereal

fleet parcel
#

@analog elk Yeah, that's another bug

#

will be updated soon

analog elk
#

@analog elk Yeah, that's another bug
@fleet parcel dangit. Was hoping to set it up and test. But that’s still great news! Thanks for letting me know

haughty thorn
#

@fleet parcel will u test

#

13.4.8

fleet parcel
#

is that out?

haughty thorn
#

beta

fleet parcel
#

oof ok

storm ridge
#

@haughty thorn Darn I got one 4k updated to 13.4.5. using the beta profile and now was just about to do another one and it must have missed by a few minutes. Apple must be reading this board to push the update so quick

fleet parcel
#

oooohh... no

#

now 13.4.5 is killed off...

storm ridge
#

13.4.5 is still signed, what if I try another beta profile

fleet parcel
#

@storm ridge not with the 4K... It goes straight to the latest which is 13.4.8

#

damnit.. I think Apples following me

storm ridge
#

@fleet parcel yes they must be, they do not push this quick. I have 2 boxes left on 12.4 oh well. Missed doing 1 more by minutes

fleet parcel
#

are your boxes 4k?

#

(the 2 left)

#

@storm ridge

storm ridge
fleet parcel
#

no

storm ridge
#

That is the one that installed this morning on 1 of my 4k's using the beta profile

fleet parcel
#

yeah, i'd take that profile off now..

#

it might update to 13.4.8..

haughty thorn
#

jtv are u gonna update?

fleet parcel
#

@haughty thorn Confirmed for 13.4.8 checkra1n

storm ridge
#

@fleet parcel I had gotten as far as removing Chimera on 12.4, installing Unc0ver before noticing the 13.4.8. Should I stay on Unc0ver for 12.4 or can I go back to Chimera? I have already gotten a notice to update to 13.4.8 with Unc0ver even though I jb with Disable Auto Updates set to OFF. Is it a problem to go back to Chimera since it was decent on 12.4

fleet parcel
#

@storm ridge With the 4K, yes. Stay.

#

Although, you could switch to u0 on 12.4...

storm ridge
#

@fleet parcel I was prepping to update and deleted the Chimera app and installed u0 but now I'm stuck on 12.4. I am not so sure it will not update cause I have already gotten a nag. Is there a beta iOS or watch profile I can manually install just to be safe?

#

yep, just got another update nag... jb'n on 12.4 with u0 too

fleet parcel
#

@storm ridge did you turn off your "disable auto updates" then rejailbreak in u0?

@fleet parcel What exactly is SpecbreakTV? We just changed to spectrum but I only have Internet and phone

#

Also doesn’t spectrum have a tvOS app

fleet parcel
#

Says in the description

analog elk
#

So it bypasses jailbreak detection

fleet parcel
#

indeed.

analog elk
#

I’m enjoying Hulu live TV, is spectrum TV any better

fleet parcel
#

🤷‍♂️

@fleet parcel Ya tried that, even with the 13.4.5 beta profile installed and MCPatch it finds the 13.4.8 update. What's odd is that on another 4k box that I jb on the weekend I installed the 13.4.5 beta profile and it says it's up to date. I do not have the MCPatch installed on that one.

fleet parcel
#

the sole purpose of MCPatchTV is to install non-tvOS betas on an Apple TV

storm ridge
#

ok so then MCPatch has no effect since I'm using a tvOS beta profile. Strange why one 4k box says it's up to date and the other does not

fleet parcel
#

ok so then MCPatch has no effect since I'm using a tvOS beta profile.
@storm ridge Correct.

#

I want to say thank you to @fleet parcel and @desert hawk for all there hard work!

jaunty rune
#

@fleet parcel helped me out getting unc0ver on the tv last time. I’ve completely forgot how I did it. Any help again? I think I first did checkra1n

#

No Mac

high bear
#

@fleet parcel if i updated with your beta profile, should i remove it and replace it with a watchOS profile or should I keep it installed

north grotto
#

I'm on 13.4.5 tvOS AppleTV 4K and I'm wondering how do i prevent the update message from popping up? I am jailbroken and there used to be a tweak

ocean schooner
#

any ds emulator for tvos?

#

@north grotto disable “disable auto updates” in unc0ver

#

and rejailbreak

#

counterintuitive but works, it’s a big

#

bug*

north grotto
#

thank you

#

it worked, sweet! @ocean schooner

jaunty rune
#

@ocean schooner retroarch

storm ridge
#

@north grotto I don't think it's working for everyone, I have one box that is constantly getting nagged. C'mon Apple... if someone doesn't want to update please honour the request.

#

Meanwhile, I updated 2 boxes that were updated with the beta profile and as long as the beta profile stays installed I am not getting nagged

#

According to Nito, as long as you have the latest version (3.3.1-2), it is "safe to choose "disable" for your software updates again in nitoTV itself". I think that is the best option now. It's what I always used before to block nags.

a new nitoTV update is out for checkra1n and unc0ver. it isnt necessary for chimera because this issue doesn't cause a bootloop in 12.4. please install it ASAP. then it will be safe to choose "disable" for your software updates again in nitoTV itself. thanks again @sbingner

analog elk
#

any tweak to get vpn on Apple TV?

storm ridge
#

Looks like on 12.4 unc0ver the Nito setting to "Disable" software updates does not stick (at least on my 4k) . Upon respring it resets back to "Enabled". It use to work on Chimera.

#

@analog elk No, would be a nice feature to have. I think it would increase the appetite for ATV jailbreaking

jaunty rune
#

Nito taking forever to load for anyone else?

jaunty rune
#

Any way to install a deb file?

worthy mirage
#

Anyone managed to get their ECID from ATV 4k via ssh yet? Can't run download configurator given version of Mac OS (10.12), and no USB so can't get via iTunes. ATV4 and ATV5 both JB but need to save SHSH2. THANKS!

fleet parcel
#

@worthy mirage if you install TSSAgent and run that via SSH, it'll save your blobs whilst jailbroken

worthy mirage
#

@fleet parcel Thanks for reply! Don't see TSSAgent in Nito when I search

torn spade
#

@storm ridge there's a bug in u0 where the disable update option does the opposite of what you tell it to lol

#

it's fixed in code but no new release since then yet

#

internally the option was called "Enable Updates" but the option was "Disable Updates" yes/no and it was just copying the value over... so "Yes Enable Updates" was translated to "Yes Disable Updates"... 😞

#

(or the other way around but you get the idea)

toxic rose
#

@fleet parcel - sorry to ping you. I managed to get a atv 4k on 13.4.5 - and wanted to know the most safest way to block updates on it. I see there is u0 disable updates which seems to be opposite of what it says according to sam..

fleet parcel
#

@toxic rose you mean an Apple tv 4

toxic rose
#

i meant on apple tv 4k

analog elk
#

This is off-topic, but does anyone know how I could block my Apple Watch from updating? I’m worried that if I updated it will no longer be compatible with 13.5 at some point

frigid moat
#

your iPhone manages watchOS updates. don't update your iPhone.

storm ridge
#

@toxic rose curious what day did you get that 4k updated?

toxic rose
#

ok - now i see where the confusion was.. i meant i managed to get atv 4k on 13.4.5 online (you know by purchasing off of some random dude)

#

lol

#

but i did get my two apple tv 4ks back from apple (both on tvOS 13.3.1)

#

@storm ridge

storm ridge
#

lucky you, I have two 4k's left on 12.4. Still ok, but after testing out tvOS 13 on another box the OS is a nice improvement. Not sure if we'll see another 4k jb anytime soon. Crossing fingers though.

haughty thorn
#

@fleet parcel did u ever get a chance to look at the beta

fleet parcel
#

@haughty thorn yes, it's confirmed

haughty thorn
#

tvOS 13.4.8 Beta

#

right?

#

@fleet parcel

fleet parcel
#

Yes

#

I pinged you earlier for confirmation @haughty thorn .. Prob didn't see it

#

Oh well

haughty thorn
#

ok thanks

#

Is there a guide to jailbreaking an Apple TV 4k with unc0ver using Xcode?

#

Having trouble finding one online that's up-to-date.

#

Also, has the latest unc0ver version fixed the bricking problem?

fleet parcel
#

and yes

grizzled gorge
#

Danke @fleet parcel

grizzled gorge
#

@fleet parcel I'm getting a codesigning error in my iOS App Signer even after setting up a provisioning profile in Xcode with my Apple ID and successfully connecting Xcode to my Apple TV. I've also deleted all duplicate/expired certificates from my keychain. Is there anything else I can do to get it to sign properly?

fleet parcel
#

Terminate iOS App Signer, then re-launch

grizzled gorge
#

Just tried exiting and reopening, but it still doesn't work.

#

Does it matter whether I choose the Apple Development or the iPhone Development signing certificate?

fleet parcel
#

choose iphone dev

grizzled gorge
fleet parcel
#

I'm not even sure what you're doing...

grizzled gorge
#

Trying to sign my unc0ver IPA so I can sideload it onto my Apple TV 4K to jailbreak it for the first time.

#

Using the guide you linked to me earlier.

fleet parcel
#

ah and what's the error look like?

grizzled gorge
#

Then after hitting Yes:

#

And I've gone into the Keychain and deleted all expired/duplicate dev certificates for that account.

#

I think I'm just going to delete my accounts from Xcode.

fleet parcel
#

check if you have certificates set to default trust

grizzled gorge
#

Is that a setting?

fleet parcel
#

its in your keychain

grizzled gorge
#

They appear to be at Default Trust already.

fleet parcel
#

do you have the latest iOS app signer?

grizzled gorge
#

Just downloaded it at version 1.13.1. Lemme check to see if it's the most current.

#

I believe it's the most current release.

#

Just deleted and re-added my Apple ID to Xcode, and after clicking the "Manage Certificates" button, it says that its status is "missing private key".

fleet parcel
#

odd...

high bear
#

@fleet parcel do i remove the beta profile i got off your website now if im updated already to 13.4.5?

fleet parcel
#

Settings - General - Profile - Remove

high bear
#

ah okay just wanted to know if i should or not

#

can I put a watchOS profile to prevent updates?

fleet parcel
#

sure

#

hopefully it works

high bear
#

ah i can't seem to find the watchOS profile on your website do you have a link to it

fleet parcel
rain timber
#

is it still possible to update to 13.4.5?

#

i tried installing a mobileconfig profile for 13.4.5 beta, but when i click update software it spins for a while and then just drops back to the home screen

analog elk
#

@rain timber I don’t think so, now 13.4.8 beta is out

rain timber
#

oh wait, checkra1n works with whatever the current tvOS is right?

#

but do i have to have a breakout cable or something for that? or can i just transfer the signed app over?

grizzled gorge
#

@fleet parcel I fixed the code signing issue! I had to run xcode-select --install in Terminal and start the process over again. No idea what this does, but it seemed to fix it. Found the solution in the GitHub issue here: https://github.com/DanTheMan827/ios-app-signer/issues/16#issuecomment-252666381

fleet parcel
#

ah, ok

grizzled gorge
#

I don't know if there's a wiki or something, but it might be handy to put in a troubleshooting section.

analog elk
#

@rain timber yeah checkra1n works on 13.4.8 but you need a breakout cable

rain timber
#

da n it

#

damn it

#

i should probably just get one

#

so no way to update to 13.4.5 at this point? i saw something on twitter about being able to by installing a beta profile

#

i thought according to ipsw.me it's still being signed but

fleet parcel
#

@rain timber nah, no way

rain timber
#

someone mentioned on twitter using a MITM attack to trick it to install 13.4.5 instead of whatever is current

fleet parcel
#

nah. I wouldn't do that

rain timber
#

i guess i just keep on 12.4

#

until another comes along

#

not a huge deal, i just figured i'd update since i've udpated everything else

fleet parcel
#

you could just use u0 on 12.4

rain timber
#

i have chimera installed

fleet parcel
#

you could Restore root fs in chimera and use u0, if you want

rain timber
#

any advantage?

fleet parcel
#

maybe

steep galleon
#

On 13.4.5 on u0 and I got a notification that an available TVos update is available.

#

Is there a way to turn that off?

fleet parcel
#

@steep galleon turn OFF disable auto updates, then rejailbreak

rain timber
#

I’m kind of annoyed at myself for not updating before

fleet parcel
#

meh, another one will come 'round

frigid moat
#

@rain timber ATV4(hd) or ATV4k?

fleet parcel
#

4K

frigid moat
#

oof. only ATV4(HD) can still update to 13.4.5 afaik.

fleet parcel
#

even after unsigned @frigid moat 😉

frigid moat
#

is it? 🤔

fleet parcel
#

yupp

#

13.4.6 SEP works with 13.4.5

frigid moat
#

awesome

rain timber
#

@frigid moat 4K

#

kind of tempted to try it

#

seems harmless enough, he said on twitter that it worked with 13.4.5

#

worst case i run the update and it sees something newer and i cancel

#

putting my faith into google translate

#

but the logic seems sound - you're effectively proxying the ATV through your mac, and telling the ATV that 13.4.5 is the latest and it fetches that

fleet parcel
#

@rain timber for your safety, I'll try it and give you the results

rain timber
#

cool, thats awesome

#

in the meanwhile i'll work on signing uncover

rain timber
#

..which doesn't seem to be happening

tidal junco
#

I want to know if newer models of Apple TV can be jailbroken? I don't want to get an old version

rain timber
#

(from the channel topic at the top) that'll tell you exactly which and which tvOS

tidal junco
#

Great thanks

rain timber
#

tempted to go get another ATV4K at best buy and hope that it's on 13.4.x

#

my bedroom ATV is an HD iirc, and it's connected to a 4K projector...so it'd be a decent upgrade at least

rain timber
#

i think my ATV already downloaded the update file so it's reading it locally - Charles is mapped to the local XML file, and i see the request come through

#

also, unrelated, i'd like to castrate the person that developed this fucking remote

#

anyone know where the ATV4K stores OS updates?

rain timber
#

chimera apparently won't restore rootfs

#

ffs

fleet parcel
#

@tidal junco can you wait till it's safe

rain timber
#

now i can't seem to even update chimera... i downloaded it and signed it with the same tvos cert i have before (i have a paid developer account) and when i try to install it, it takes a while and then says "Unable to install "unc0verTV_5.1.0_b3" or "Unable to install "1.3.9"

tidal junco
#

@fleet parcel What do you mean?

rain timber
#

oh snap

#

i think i got it

#

it prompted for 13.4.5 update

#

so i said go for it

#

if this works ill do it on the bedroom ATV HD

#

rebooting.........

#

applying update...

#

i'll be super stoked if this works

#

i mean it appears to be working

#

worked

rain timber
#

now i just need my xcode etc. shit to stop being a pain in the asss

rain timber
#

weird. i launched nitotv once and was prompted for updates, but i didn't have network. now whenever i launch nito it crashes

fleet parcel
#

@rain timber wow..

#

Just don't listen..

frigid moat
#

🤔

#

interesting

#

did you hear about the docker-osx release?

rain timber
#

@fleet parcel the fun for me is the doing, not so much the having done

fleet parcel
#

I understand that, but I'm trying to look out for your safety 😉

toxic rose
#

lol i updated mine to 13.4.5 as well and it is working perfectly.. at least for now

#

from 13.3.1

rain timber
#

haha thanks but don’t worry, I’ve been jailbreaking since the first iphone

#

risk is part of the fun

#

@toxic rose what method?

#

running that method on my atv hd now

#

hmm

toxic rose
#

@rain timber the one from hiraku dev

#

actually he updated that article with tvos 13

rain timber
#

ah ok cool, I was talking to him on twitter about it

#

strangely my appletv hd failed

#

actually not strange

#

I used the same xml which is looking for a different model identifier etc

#

no reason that should work

#

I was in the middle of a conference call while l was fucking with it

#

not paying attention

#

I think the other method will work

#

the beta profile

#

or change the xml

#

to the correct identifier and ota update

rain timber
#

hmm..looks like that xml has references to those too. so maybe just something wtih my appletv

earnest hollow
#

I kinda wish I didn't get rid of my Apple TV

analog elk
#

is there a respring command for ATV??

#

if ur using ssh
