because i guess it also did the untether deb
don't touch "Update All" in nitoTV
uh ok
other than that, enjoy!
weather tab is janky
ignore it. If you want to view more, quickly shuffle beside it
👍
sure
yeah, just don't click it
if you update in nitoTV, you'll have to restore and rejail
mhm
but yeah, have fun
okay neat o
ill plug in my mouse later
huh
my apple tv shut down
@fleet parcel
i guess
but
theres no light
so i guess unplug replug
oh wait
it went to sleep
lol
I'm glad
way more fun than unc0ver
i dunno about that..
well
i mean
the party.sh was pretty fun lol
ok im going to try rebooting
this should be untethered
ok pog
ok well
im done with the apple tv
lol
gonna unplug it for the night
i hope someone acrtually does something for atv3
ok
oops
i forgot to test if popping in the button worked
oh well

there pushed in
ok so
i tested it with my phone camera
play button works again
i can't believe it
cool
lol
okay
well
gonna pack up the apple tv and then set it up tomorrow in my room
thanks
How can one place the ATV4 in recovery mode? Apparently u0 bricked it.
Don’t have an apple remote by the way.
you need a remote
sol until further notice tbh
how did you plan to jailbreak without a remote?
u0 allows for one to jailbreak without a remote as far as I am concerned. You just need to sideload the ipa.
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? 
@brazen rapids jailbreaking is possible without a remote
i have an apple tv and i cant find the remote, is their a way i can set it up + jailberak it?
thanks
depends on what tvOS you have
@analog elk maybe, but that theory would require a lot of reverse engineering
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.
like?
He had an updated version of provenance.
stahhp
who
🤚🏻
I'm seeing that power-cycling might force the apple tv into recovery. Is this true?
If I had one I would
is Apple TV 4, or 4K
ATV 4
ok
but yeah, if you have USB-C
you should be able to restore without a remote
just plug 'er in
I haven’t used reprovision in a long time either, is that back and working again?
yes
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?
@wooden acorn have you tried plugging it into itunes?
@devout estuary Cydia impactors broken to free developer accounts
I am using a mac so I am assuming it should show up on finder
it doesn't appear though after multiple cycles
Do I generate a new user id and password then?
@wooden acorn i wonder if your apple tv is booting at all
oh no
@devout estuary use xcode
I used xcode to sideload Unc0ver. Do I need to sideload reprovision with Xcode as well?
That’s what I did. I wonder why my password I’ve used on there previously about a year ago isn’t working.
do you have 2fa?
Since I don’t know what that is, I’m going to say no.
ah, may have to downgrade repro
Ok do you know what version I need?
the one below the latest
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.
@devout estuary This is the only one I know of
https://diatr.us/nito/
@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
.4.6 crashes on open. .4.7 and newest both are saying “Failure unknown error occurred” after trying to log in
@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
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
So install unc0ver beta3 on 12.4 ?
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
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?
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"
ok where is disable ota? Do you mean Disable Auto Updates should be OFF
yes
ok disable auto updates is OFF
Then, Restore RootFS should be ON right?
yes
hmmm, it does not let me turn Restore Root FS on
just gotta click it

don't know what was happening before
yeah, make sure that export thing is turned off
do I leave the rest of the settings as is?
(Re)install OpenSSH - off
Reinstall NitoTV - off
yes it does... just one more thing, does it matter what version my NitoTV is currently at?
no
says Jailbreak Completed saying the system needs to reboot to finish the jb process. But I click on OK and nothing happens
that's fine, reboot
I clicked on View Log and now back at the home screen
Nito is gone and blank white icons for OldTube and Kodi
once rebooted, head to Apple TVs Settings - System and Reset. Then just Reset
Unc0ver is there
So I have to reset all my settings? No choice to do an update like before?
It gives me the option to update now so I'm trying that
🤦
will it fail?
i dunno, probably
it it fails I guess I'll try the reset option then
ok
how do i setup my apple tv without a remote? i have a MFI controller.
update worked, no reset required. Now to run the jb, should I...
Disable Auto Updates - OFF
ReInstall OpenSSH - ON
Reinstall NitoTV - ON
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! 👍
Now I’m having issues with my 4 updating from 12.4 to current. Won’t update just gets stuck. Reset it several times
@devout estuary are you jb?
I was but it reboot probably months back and I never jb again.
It’s the one in a room I rarely use.
Install unc0ver beta 3
Ok one moment. Gotta get Xcode fired up.
hm
Once I get Xcode up and get uncover b3 on it I’m assuming restore ROOTFS?
In settings or NitoTV?
unc0ver settings
Seems to have worked. It found the update.
Anyone else having a problem with NitoTV not installing when running the jJaiobreak#
Jailbreak. With uncover.
I think you have to jb twice. And when I didn’t see it I just reboot and jb again.
@carmine gull need help?
I’ll try that again. But I’ve done that like 4 times. I just have bag luck xD
@fleet parcel Yes please
what tvOS/Device?
Apple TV 4K (AppleTV 6,2) model J105aAP. iOS 13.4.5 on the pastiest unc0ver
wow...
Lol I’ve only jailbroken my phone. Never an Apple TV. I didn’t know how much you wanted xD
No worries. Restore root fs
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 😛
no
Alright. I’m trying to rejailbreak now
cool
i try

Any out yet? 😄
wip
What’s that do
wip = Work In Progress
Oh lol. I don’t keep up with abbreviations
thats ok
@tardy inlet So much 😉
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.
" checkra1n is a hardware glitch" nah.. its a bootrom exploit
" 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?
checkra1n is bootrom like the switch exploit
I mean a hw glitch would be persistent on that hardware but software could possibly me written to mitigate it
indeed, hence the exploit instead of a "glitch"
Is there a tweak like ReProvision for jailbreak on 4k or do I have to resign kodi every week
If you're jailbroken kodi doesn't need to be signed
Reprovision is on JTV's repo I think
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
what is better for tvOS 13.4.5 unc0verTV or chimeraTV?
jailbreaking to mainly use reprovision on an apple tv 4K
Do ios beta profiles still work as a preventive mesure from unwanted updates on the ATV when in non-jailbroken mode?
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.
@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
@silk rivet no, but you can use WatchOS betas using MCPatchTV
@fleet parcel Thanks!
That's all she wrote.
tvOS 13.4.6 has been released!
In regards to the Apple TV 4K users, Do not update! (jailbroken or not)
If you're already jailbroken, stay.
It was fun while it lasted... until next time!
I am but there is only kodi for iOS 9 and kodi matrix which apparently doesn’t work with venom from my understanding
@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
@haughty thorn checkra1n is fine with tvOS 13.4.6
thank you
Does anyone knows where exactly I can instal profiles? I have an ATV4K
@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
@storm ridge At least you managed to get one (4K) on 13.4.5 though..
@analog elk do you happen to know which repo? When I searched up kodi I o lay had matrix and kodi for ios9
Oh is that it lol ok
I assumed it only worked on iOS 9 didn’t want to install and mess it up
Kodi 17 on nitoTV works with all tvOS versions.
@fleet parcel yes and one 4HD. I was just about to start on the rest too... agh
@storm ridge 'tis okay, having one updated is good enough
Ok thanks for letting me know. To@clarify does reprovison work to resign or do you have to use the Xcode method?
Loosing my hackintosh for about a month so won’t have lol
You may use VMs too
I've got a thinkpad from 1997 with a VM.. it still signs fine
Hmm 🤨 maybe I’ll try again then, last tome I tried won’t load it
What tvOS are you on?
@fleet parcel is it confirmed that 13.4.5 is not signed anymore? I see on this site that it is
https://ipsw.me/download/ota/AppleTV6,2/17L562?prerequisite=16M568
Download tvOS 13.4.5 (17L562) OTA for Apple TV 4K
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?
I am not, I’ve only Jailbroken my phone.
Ah, splendid.
@fathom lodge I am jailbroken on 12.4 Chimera
How do I install it to my AppleTV I apologize for all the trouble...
with the 4K, not the 4HD
@fathom lodge Follow this guide: http://joshtv.net/Guides/sideload.html
Gotcha, I’ve only messed with Jailbreaks on my iPhone so never on a Apple TV
I think @fleet parcel is saying that by default the 4k's will go straight to 13.4.6
^
Thank you! @fleet parcel
I believe the window is still open for the 4HD
Is impactor still down? I have a Mac but it’s fidigty
@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
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
@fathom lodge With no USB on the 4K, you can connect wirelessly
just head to Remotes and Apps section inside Settings
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.
@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 how do I save blobs on TVOS?
@fleet parcel> @undone vine tss1conan
@fleet parcel on NitoTV I can see only tssagent, is it also good?
yes, that /should/ save blobs whilst jailbroken
yes, that /should/ save blobs whilst jailbroken
@fleet parcel after installed the blobs are saved automatically? The isn’t any app icon/menu/interface..
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
Looking into getting Apple TV, what does benefits does jailbreaking it have?
Never jailbroke apple tv before
is it possible to add more storage to the apple tv 4?
THanks @fleet parcel
IMO 32GBs is more than enough 😉
Appreciate you!
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
hi guys, anyone got a solution for “Unable to install” on Xcode ?
@analog elk install MCPatchTV will allow you to install the WatchOS beta profile
@fleet parcel When you get a chance please let me know how to install the watchOS profile. Thank you so much for everything!
damn missed the 13.4.5 window
Download tvOS 13.4.5 (17L562) OTA for Apple TV 4K
still signed?
@fleet parcel is there a reprovision tutorial anywhere? and does reprovision cover sideloaded apps as well as uncovertv the application
@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.
...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.
@autumn talon working on testing it..
@fleet parcel there is tvOS 13.4.6 is out
does unc0ver jb works on 13.4.6?
@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 http://joshtv/. net/profile.mobileconfig does't work. I tried http://joshtv.net/profile.mobileconfig but it says WatchOS profile cannot be installed.
Sounds like I should put my ATV 4K in Sleep mode unless I need it lest it updates itself somehow
@small flower or unplug it for now and just re-jb as needed
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
I know, still working on it
@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 what is this https://www.wikihow.com/Jailbreak-the-Apple-TV-3
a false guide @icy wolf
@analog elk install MCPatchTV will allow you to install the WatchOS beta profile
@fleet parcel When you get a chance please let me know how to install the watchOS profile. Thank you so much for everything!> @analog elk https://twitter.com/joshblah555/status/1255706435687559168?s=21
@fleet parcel Followed your instructions with the updated link and get this:

@analog elk http://joshtv.net/profile.mobileconfig 😉
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
@analog elk I blame twitter...
checkra1n imo.. seeing as u0 is still in beta
@autumn talon can you update on a 4k? i thought you couldn't
@high bear you can, but stay away from it
i just ordered a 4k and now im anxious whether it will come with 13.4.5 or 4.6
@autumn talon regardless of what tvOS comes with it... it won't be the latest.
which means; it'll be unc0verable
just gotta block updates
yeah
...which i'm currently working on
So is there a way for me to update a 4K to 13.4.5 instead of 13.4.6?
Can I use the apple configurator 2 and Xcode method, as if I was installing a beta os?
@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 what version do you have installed and what tvOS version are you on?
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
ok will give it a try again, thought it was EOL with the "that's all folks" version released on iOS
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
ReProvision v0.5.2~EOL is now available.
This now allows you to dismiss the 'that's all folks" notice, and continue using ReProvision since Apple's server-side is functional again!
It'll request you to login again after installation.
605
It started working again in February
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.
I feel my 4K works better but it always typically worked well. I noticed my 4HD runs so much smoother now.
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
@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
@analog elk You can use any Apple ID
@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
@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.
Did you follow Josh's instructions and use http://joshtv.net/profile.mobileconfig
ok, I will try again, last night it would not work
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?
( :
@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
@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!
@storm ridge @analog elk https://twitter.com/pwn20wnd/status/1267607950786363392?s=21
There’s a bug in the latest versions of #unc0ver that causes the jailbreak to operate with the opposite of the user preference for disabling auto updates. You should turn off that option and re-jailbreak now to prevent your device from auto-updating to 13.5.1.
246
1454
If you set disable auto updates to off, then re-jailbreak, i bet the Apple nagging will go away.
And I’m assuming then we wait for him to release a new version of unc0ver
To fix that
Yes, but it /should/ work regardless
@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"
@storm ridge Impossible!! what tvOS is it on?
you need to install MCPatchTV (jb mode) @storm ridge
is there an easier way to screenshot than SSHing in and running screencapture?
@analog elk yes, use QuickTime and screenshot that
I don’t have a Mac
I'm doing this so y'all don't have to (my 4K)
hmm, I could use Shortcuts
@fleet parcel Does not work even with MCPatchTV installed in jb mode
@storm ridge could i see a screenshot of what you type in?
trying this URL on 4HD but doesn't accept it
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 😉
possible to sideload to 4k without mac?
@ocean schooner yes, with a Virtual Machine
Should I just re-jb with the Disable Auto Updates in Unc0ver set to OFF for now?
that was too easy
@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.
@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"
does anyone knows how to get the udid from the ATV4K with no mac?
@carmine granite Apple Configurator does
sorry, ya just read that... I suppose you could borrow a mac or setup a VM
Maybe if I provide the S/N to the genius they could get the udid and gave it to me.
there are profiles you can install to get the UDID
or uiduid in terminal if already jailbroken
Just a thought, Can we jailbreak on 13.4.5 beta, if it’s same build # as the final 13.4.5?
@vapid dock Yes, you can. But I don't know how well the beta fairs against beta jailbreaks...
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
Yes, you could
just.. be careful. Expect errors (hopefully no bootloops)
what tvOS is your 4K currently on?
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.
@vapid dock just make sure you restore root fs via unc0ver
uploaded rom to provenance
not showing up
do i need to restart or something
should i be uploading as zip instead of raw rom?
Depends on the rom.. @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?
@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.
4k is jb capable now
Ah @vapid dock did you manage to install the profile?
even without breakout board
@ocean schooner yes
@ocean schooner what tvOS is your 4K?
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
@ocean schooner Go to unc0ver and turn OFF disable auto updates
also uploaded roms to roms folder for mame and it’s not detecting them
then re-jailbreak
At work now, will attempt it when I get home this evening. @fleet parcel
now what? or is that it for fixing updates @fleet parcel
@ocean schooner yes, fixes update issue
that’s so weird
nah, just a bug
does mame not work with apple tv remote
not AFAIK
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
@ocean schooner you can use a wider range of controls with nControl..
doesn’t apple tv have built in controller support for dualshock
Yes, just saying you have more compatibility with the tweak
FYI @haughty thorn Updating to 13.4.5 is still possible on the 4K via beta profiles
I wouldn't delete them.
@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?
@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
@fleet parcel won't it give me 13.4.6 though?
I was thinking via profile 😉
that would be cool, I've never done that. Where is the profile and how exactly do I do it?... Apple Configurator?
@storm ridge http://joshtv.net/pro.mobileconfig <-- this one will work for 13.4.5
So restore rootFS, install the profile, then update OTA.... is that the idea?
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
@fleet parcel
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
@storm ridge that message is normal for nitoTV
I think it worked
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?
@storm ridge is that with the beta installed?
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?
The one for 13.4.5
wait you can make it use 13.4.5 on an update with a profile when it's not newest?
As long as it’s still being signed I think so.
yeah 13.4.5 and beta still signed
@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)
@fleet parcel So use the same profile for the 4 on the 4K too? I used this from your link
http://joshtv.net/pro.mobileconfig
My guess Apple will stop signing 13.4.5 by Monday the latest... no guarantees though.
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.
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
@high bear You can if you'd like, just be careful
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
damn you're making this tempting lol
honestly, its great!
@fleet parcel okay i'm convinced. do i backup Kodi using Xcode or SSHing in?
Kodi can be backed up via an add-on simply called "Backup"
you just gotta SSH it off your device
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 🤷♂️
user settings aren't in the /applications folder
mine is /private/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/92C9F09D-243D-4726-A191-611C69D43169/Library/Preferences/Kodi/
ahh now i see the backup good save @frigid moat
So I should save the whole folder with the numbers/letters then
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 🤷
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
afaik /applications/kodi.app is only the app and its required resources
plugins & settings go to the /library folder
ohh so the only thing i should be backing up is the folder that backup created
the backup creates a .zip
you just pull that off
then put it back on and restore from it
My nitotv is frozen?
@analog elk need some deets
I restarted my tv and got it working again
the whole app froze, and wouldn’t work after reopening
still have no deets...
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
4K or HD?
HD
Ah yes, usually the issue subsides with a reboot and re-jb
@fleet parcel appreciate it, is the Pandora TV on your repo a cracked Pandora where I can skip more etc?
Ohh dope, appreciate it I like how you implemented the video previews too, replicates the App Store
👍
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"
are you on a 4K?
yep
install the provision, you don't need the tweak
sideload u0, restore rootFS, update, then turn OFF "disable auto updates" and jailbreak
you mean the profile on your website?
Oh, the profile still works for ATV 4K?
I thought the profiles no longer work for all iOS/tvOS devices
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
I see, since I am on 13.4.5 already I wont need the beta I think?
nope
it's mainly for those still on 11.x/12 who've missed the window when Apple launched 13.4.6
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
okay
the beta may be slightly different in terms of stability than the official update
but its worth jailbreaking imo
damn this is risky lol 12.4 has done no harm to me
except the twitch crashes which are super annoying
if you're fine, then don't update
but anyways do I update now?
its only if you want the latest and greatest
tvOS 13 looks smoother, that was one reason why I updated
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"
restore rootFS with chimera or should i side load u0 first
restore via u0
xcode is giving me the highest deployment target of 13.2 rn
you only need Xcode to make a provision and to sideload
you don't need to make an app
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
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
@high bear no... are you reading anything i say?
the only thing you need to turn off is Disable Auto Updates
@high bear
ah okay sorry was a bit confused
no worries
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
what tvOS are you on?
12.4
do you have u0 installed?
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
I just put it back to the mesu.apple.com/assets/tv one
but its spinning on update software so we'll see if it changes
yeah i read on reddit somewhere that that was how you prevented software updates :/
alright a couple restarts later and its downloading thanks for the help so far josh
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
the bit with numbers is going to change
it should be /private/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/Some random string/Library/Preferences/Kodi/
@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
mine's been different every time I updated tvOS 🤷
you should be able to find it logged in via ssh
find / -name Kodi
only thing that shows up there is /applications/kodi.app/kodi
have you run kodi yet?
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
yeah caps matters, mine is Kodi
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
awesome 
thanks man
yw
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
Device froze so rebooted. Unc0ver won’t open but other apps that were signed with ReProvision do. Y is this
@jaunty rune could be a bug
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
@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
is that out?
beta
#tvOS 13.4.8 (17M5535f) [Beta: PreRelease] has been released for 2 devices https://t.co/8MnKGNy3va
oof ok
@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
13.4.5 is still signed, what if I try another beta profile
@storm ridge not with the 4K... It goes straight to the latest which is 13.4.8
damnit.. I think Apples following me
@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 Yes, the 2 left are 4k
so is there no way to get this installed
https://ipsw.me/download/ota/AppleTV6,2/17L562?prerequisite=16M568
Download tvOS 13.4.5 (17L562) OTA for Apple TV 4K
That is the one that installed this morning on 1 of my 4k's using the beta profile
jtv are u gonna update?
@haughty thorn Confirmed for 13.4.8 checkra1n
@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 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
@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
Says in the description
So it bypasses jailbreak detection
indeed.
I’m enjoying Hulu live TV, is spectrum TV any better
🤷♂️
@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.
the sole purpose of MCPatchTV is to install non-tvOS betas on an Apple TV
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
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!
@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
@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
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
any ds emulator for tvos?
@north grotto disable “disable auto updates” in unc0ver
and rejailbreak
counterintuitive but works, it’s a big
bug*
@ocean schooner retroarch
@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.
https://twitter.com/nitoTV/status/1265806947791577088
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
any tweak to get vpn on Apple TV?
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
Nito taking forever to load for anyone else?
Any way to install a deb file?
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!
@worthy mirage if you install TSSAgent and run that via SSH, it'll save your blobs whilst jailbroken
@fleet parcel Thanks for reply! Don't see TSSAgent in Nito when I search
@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)
@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..
@toxic rose you mean an Apple tv 4
i meant on apple tv 4k
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
your iPhone manages watchOS updates. don't update your iPhone.
@toxic rose curious what day did you get that 4k updated?
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
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.
@fleet parcel did u ever get a chance to look at the beta
@haughty thorn yes, it's confirmed
Yes
I pinged you earlier for confirmation @haughty thorn .. Prob didn't see it
Oh well
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?
@grizzled gorge http://joshtv.net/Guides/sideload.html
and yes
Danke @fleet parcel
@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?
Terminate iOS App Signer, then re-launch
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?
choose iphone dev
@fleet parcel No difference, I'm afraid. Are there any other tricks you can think of? I might just start over again to be sure.
I'm not even sure what you're doing...
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.
ah and what's the error look like?
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.
check if you have certificates set to default trust
Is that a setting?
its in your keychain
They appear to be at Default Trust already.
do you have the latest iOS app signer?
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".
odd...
@fleet parcel do i remove the beta profile i got off your website now if im updated already to 13.4.5?
Settings - General - Profile - Remove
ah okay just wanted to know if i should or not
can I put a watchOS profile to prevent updates?
ah i can't seem to find the watchOS profile on your website do you have a link to it
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
@rain timber I don’t think so, now 13.4.8 beta is out
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?
@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
ah, ok
I don't know if there's a wiki or something, but it might be handy to put in a troubleshooting section.
@rain timber yeah checkra1n works on 13.4.8 but you need a breakout cable
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
@rain timber nah, no way
someone mentioned on twitter using a MITM attack to trick it to install 13.4.5 instead of whatever is current
nah. I wouldn't do that
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
you could just use u0 on 12.4
i have chimera installed
you could Restore root fs in chimera and use u0, if you want
any advantage?
maybe
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?
@steep galleon turn OFF disable auto updates, then rejailbreak
I’m kind of annoyed at myself for not updating before
meh, another one will come 'round
@rain timber ATV4(hd) or ATV4k?
4K
oof. only ATV4(HD) can still update to 13.4.5 afaik.
even after unsigned @frigid moat 😉
is it? 🤔
awesome
@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
@rain timber for your safety, I'll try it and give you the results
..which doesn't seem to be happening
I want to know if newer models of Apple TV can be jailbroken? I don't want to get an old version
(from the channel topic at the top) that'll tell you exactly which and which tvOS
Great thanks
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
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?
@tidal junco can you wait till it's safe
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"
@fleet parcel What do you mean?
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
boom
worked
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 the fun for me is the doing, not so much the having done
I understand that, but I'm trying to look out for your safety 😉
lol i updated mine to 13.4.5 as well and it is working perfectly.. at least for now
from 13.3.1
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
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
which I have from ipsw.me
hmm..looks like that xml has references to those too. so maybe just something wtih my appletv
I kinda wish I didn't get rid of my Apple TV
