even if you did you're asking a lot from an 8 year old device...

storm ridge
#

Got 2 in the closet, guess I'll put them up for sale. They seem to be selling at a premium these days and wasn't sure exactly why since Kodi is sort of the crown jewel on it

fleet parcel
#

@storm ridge you can do plex on it too...

rain timber
#

i need to sell my ATV4 HD

fleet parcel
#

why?

rain timber
#

i upgraded it to a 4k

#

it'll otherwise sit here, might as well get rid of it

#

i have a 4K TV (TCL 6-series) and a 4K DLP in the bedroom (Dell S718QL) - no need for it anywhere

high bear
fleet parcel
#

Yeah @high bear i can port it

high bear
#

that'd be awesome @fleet parcel

fleet parcel
#

Problem I'm seeing is; there's no native twitch app for tvOS.. So I'll have to look into what it hooks etc

high bear
#

ah i'm not too sure about any of that I know they made an official twitch app but that might be different than what you're referring to

#

but i really appreciate the effort you're putting in haha the ads in twitch have been crazy for me lately

rain timber
#

there isn't? I have twitch on my appletv, where the hell did i get it

#

i think i found it on some repo?

high bear
#

there's an official one in the app store

fleet parcel
#

@rain timber most likely nitoTV

#

Yeah, I'll have to fix it up

high bear
#

ah, are you making it work for the nitoTV twitch or the official twitch app?

fleet parcel
#

May as well do both 🤷‍♂️

high bear

pallid snow

fleet parcel
#

Whoops.. 8.4.3 is jailbreakable

#

if you're on 8.4.4, you'll need to downgrade via iTunes

#

and no, checkra1n won't jailbreak the Apple TV 3

pallid snow
#

mmm will i loose logins

#

and can you still downgrade?

fleet parcel
#

yes, you will lose everything

pallid snow
#

i get board so i mod

fleet parcel
#

but you can get it back

pallid snow
#

okay

#

thats all i needed to know is if my fam can still watch netflix and youtube i am safe

fleet parcel
#

you will need a micro USB and remote to downgrade

pallid snow
#

#

and may i get a new link for nitroclass?

thick moth

#

@thick moth do you have a mac?

thick moth
#

fleet parcel
pallid snow
#

thick moth
#

fleet parcel
#

fleet parcel
pallid snow
#

fleet parcel
#

yes

pallid snow
#

thick moth
#

so i just get unable to install unc0ver_5.2.0

pallid snow
#

its expired

fleet parcel
#

The link i just sent is fresh @pallid snow

thick moth
#

@pallid snow you may be in too many servers

pallid snow
#

weird its says its exspired

thick moth
#

try leaving some you dont use

pallid snow
#

that could be it did not know there was a limit

#

i will

fleet parcel
thick moth
#

because i was able to join

pallid snow
#

yup server limet

#

limit

#

thank you

#

the ispw will be done in about 5-10 minuets

fleet parcel
#

@thick moth for your issue, 2 possibilities:

  1. check your keychain for expired/duplicate certificates

  2. in terminal, type xcode-select --install

thick moth
#

okey got it to work thanks for the help

#

started by signing straight through the device and that worked and then i got stuck again when i was using another account to create the certification than the one i used in ios device signer

#

so might be a wierd question this far into the progress but is this completely save, i mean no bricking?

fleet parcel
#

no bricking

#

that was fixed a long time ago

rain timber
#

bricking devices hasn’t really happened since first few iphones

#

pretty much everything is recoverable

thick moth
#

all i needed to hear

fleet parcel
#

Yes, however in this case, with no firmware files and no cables for the 4K.. its a brick to the user

thick moth
#

"clicks jailbreak"

rain timber
#

I mean don’t do something dumb like yank the power cord while it’s installing something

thick moth
#

okey i have a 4k model, so what heppends if it gets bricked, is there no recovery

fleet parcel
#

You won't get bricked

#

you're fine

thick moth
#

so lets just say i brick it, is it possible they dont figure out what heppend and i get a new one? not bought straight from apple

fleet parcel
#

worst that'll happen is you'll just reboot at this point

#

If you do bootloop or brick, Apple will replace

thick moth
#

haha but now the app wont open

pallid snow
#

how do i put the tv in dfu mode

thick moth
#

came a error it couldnt install some local pt file or something

#

hahah all apps are able to open but not the uncover app

fleet parcel
#

@pallid snow hold menu and down

#

for 6 seconds

#

then press and hold menu + play/pause for 7 seconds

#

@thick moth reboot 4K

#

then retry

pallid snow
#

got it

thick moth
#

ahh okey

#

really have to finish this its 4 am for me

pallid snow
#

the tv is flashing

fleet parcel
#

cool when it flashes, itunes will recognize it in recovery mode

thick moth
#

should i click "upgrade essentials" or "complete upgrade"

pallid snow
#

i got it to pull up a finder window

fleet parcel
#

Complete upgrade @thick moth

pallid snow
#

8.4.3 is jailbreakable right?

fleet parcel
#

yes

pallid snow
#

thank you

#

its installing now

fleet parcel
#

cool

pallid snow
#

its done

thick moth
#

where is the best place to find tweaks for the appletv

pallid snow
#

how do i get it out of dfu

fleet parcel
#

@pallid snow if it restores, it'll be out of dfu

pallid snow
#

its still flashing

fleet parcel
#

then that means the restore wasn't successful

#

or you didn't place the device in DFU properly

pallid snow
#

here is my itunes

fleet parcel
#

okay

#

but did you do the button combo right?

pallid snow
#

i think i did

#

should i go plug it in a tv real quick?

thick moth
#

is there a vpn tweak for apple tv

fleet parcel
#

@thick moth no

#

why do you need a VPN?

thick moth
#

quickly switch between netflix locations

fleet parcel
#

nah, no VPN tweaks

thick moth
#

where can i find new tweaks

fleet parcel
#

@pallid snow don't need to

#

@thick moth not many new tweaks yet, just gotta wait

pallid snow
#

okay

#

well its don and it is still flashing

fleet parcel
#

smoky flume
#

Has there been anything on a 4K unlock for ATV4K YouTube app similar to what was on iOS?

fleet parcel
#

@smoky flume WaitWhat

smoky flume
#

Is there something similar to YTHDUnlocker for tvOS?

fleet parcel
#

no

analog elk
#

power keeps going out every night so I have to rejb my ATV4K... good thing I’m using u0 it’s easier lol

undone vine
#

Does JB ATV is known to have connectivity issues with HomeKit? Im trying to connect through the homekit app with no luck..

fleet parcel
#

what Apple TV/JB @undone vine ?

undone vine
#

4HD/u0

fleet parcel
#

reboot/rejb

somber ivy
#

FML my Apple TV 4k is updated to 13.4.6

#

Wish I could get the bloody recovery dongle that apple uses

fleet parcel
#

you can

somber ivy
#

I need to get one of those

fleet parcel
#

@somber ivy you didn't turn off the "Automatic updates"?

somber ivy
#

Apparently not

fleet parcel
#

ooof

somber ivy
#

My reason for jailbreaking now is to tell Hulu to fuck off with their ads

fleet parcel
#

Dunno how when there's no tweak for that

somber ivy
#

I would dump the hulu app and reverse engineer it

fleet parcel
#

already did that 😉

somber ivy
#

Let me guess it's written in swift

#

Also god who do I have to blow for a GoldenEye dongle

somber ivy
#

@fleet parcel Looks like just having the golden eye adapter isn't enough

analog elk
#

My reason for jailbreaking now is to tell Hulu to fuck off with their ads
@somber ivy you could probably install a profile for that

#

doesn't need jailbreak, but if you're not JB'd you need to wipe the device to set it as supervised I think

#

and make a profile with Apple Configurator 2

#

idk if it's possible to block Hulu ads on the DNS level, but if it is, that could work without JB

#

or you can set up a proxy somehow that intercepts the requests to block them

somber ivy
#

It isn't on the DNS level

fleet parcel
#

@somber ivy yuppers, you can get usb.. But DFU is required to jailbreak via checkra1n

somber ivy
#

So the goldeneye adapter is useless

fleet parcel
#

No

#

By itself for jailbreaking; yes

somber ivy
#

What does USB even give me?

#

Does it work with the lightning to USB adapter/

#

(USB female)

fleet parcel
#

Yes

somber ivy
#

Wouldn't I need the dcsd cable to put it in DFU

fleet parcel
#

USB gives you access to diagnostics

somber ivy
#

Can't you get diagnostics over wifi with xcode

fleet parcel
#

And yes ^

#

Not entirely

#

Xcode doesn't show all

#

Direct connection to the chip does

fleet parcel
#

So does anyone know if Romulator works on 13.4.5? It keeps crashing when clicked in settings.
@devout estuary you need to have Breezy installed.

analog elk
#

Wouldn't I need the dcsd cable to put it in DFU
@somber ivy someone on reddit said DFU worked with Golden Eye + DCSD but checkra1n got stuck and he had to take it back to Apple since there was no way to restore it

devout estuary
#

Breezy is installed @fleet parcel still crashing upon trying it.

fleet parcel
#

@devout estuary did you turn on breezy?

devout estuary
#

I will have to check again when I get home tonight.

fleet parcel
#

@devout estuary my apologias, try version 1.0-1

static hedge
#

fixed

sonic ridge
#

What is tvOS

fleet parcel
#

Apple tv Operating System @sonic ridge

sonic ridge
#

Oh

finite tundra
#

Do we need any tools to jailbreak 4K with unc0ver?

candid aspen
#

Jailbreak for Apple TV 2?

fleet parcel
#

@finite tundra just a mac

#

@candid aspen yes

candid aspen
#

@candid aspen yes
@fleet parcel name?, link mega?

somber ivy
#

@fleet parcel The guy that was doing the giveaway want's $100 for the cable

fleet parcel
#

@somber ivy I'm not surprised.

#

I'd imagine + shipping too..

somber ivy
#

Yeah

#

Fuck that

fleet parcel
#

@candid aspen in the pin

somber ivy
#

Though someone needs to get one and do logic analysis on it.

fleet parcel
#

Plus it'll cost you more for dfu as well

#

Unless you've got a steady hand and lots of solder experience, the breakout board is another option

#

However, with the new revisions of the breakout board, it'll soon won't require soldering..

somber ivy
#

Oh neat

fleet parcel
#

But when that'll be available on your doorstep is beyond me

somber ivy
#

Will the new revisions still require opening it?

fleet parcel
#

Doubt it

#

I don't see why opening would be necessary if soldering isn't required..

candid aspen
#

Thank you soo much @fleet parcel you are awesome bro!!!

high bear
#

woah that sounds cool how would you connect it to your TV though without opening it up unless you plug it into the ethernet cable

#

also any updates on the twitch thing josh lol

analog elk
#

After I’ve restored the rootFS

#

When I try to update

#

It’s says my Tv is up to date, with iOS 13.3.1 installed

#

What do I do

fleet parcel
#

@analog elk are you jailbroken?

analog elk
#

Okay, so currently not

fleet parcel
#

okay, were you jailbroken at any point?

analog elk
#

Yes I was

fleet parcel
#

Was it unc0ver?

analog elk
#

It was

fleet parcel
#

and this is a 4K..

analog elk
#

Yes

#

Why those ..

fleet parcel
#

Alright, just trying to get up to speed on this

analog elk
#

Oh okay

fleet parcel
#

"..." because 4K is finicky

analog elk
#

Hm

#

But the problem here is mostly with unc0ver

#

caused by unc0ver

fleet parcel
#

oh? what happened?

analog elk
#

So I can't update the software of the device

#

I'm so nervous my hands are shaking

fleet parcel
#

You do realize that updating will lose your ability to jailbreak with unc0ver

analog elk
#

Yes yes yes

#

I want to

fleet parcel
#

okay

#

Don't be nervous

#

Everything is fine

analog elk
#

Are you sure

fleet parcel
#

Your 4K isn't broken, so you're all good

#

I can certainly help you out with this issue

analog elk
#

thank you for helping.

#

I really do appreciate it.

fleet parcel
#

2 things I want to clarify with you, just to see what's going on..

analog elk
#

Alright.

fleet parcel
#
  1. Do you have any profiles installed?
#

you'll find them in Settings > General >Profiles if you do.

analog elk
#

You mean like u0?

#

Oh wait

#

Let me check

#

I'm pretty sure I don't

fleet parcel
#

take your time

analog elk
#

There is no profile setting

fleet parcel
#

Alright, just wanted to make sure you didn't have any beta profiles installed

analog elk
#

👍

fleet parcel
#

second thing

#

Is the unc0ver app currently installed and operational on your device?

analog elk
#

It is

#

I removed it because I had to reset my Apple TV

#

But I installed it back

fleet parcel
#

Cool. Do you know what ipa it was? (if it was b1, b2, b3 or 5.2.0)?

analog elk
#

5.2.0

fleet parcel
#

ah ok

#

Click on unc0ver and head to Settings

analog elk
#

Okay

fleet parcel
#

inside Settings, turn off the "Disable Auto Updates"

analog elk
#

It's off

fleet parcel
#

okay, next, re-jailbreak

analog elk
#

I'm not jailbroken at the moment

fleet parcel
#

that is okay

analog elk
#

So just jailbreak

fleet parcel
#

yes

analog elk
#

Enable load tweaks?

#

I don't have any

fleet parcel
#

If the jailbreak fails, just retry, but make sure that toggle is OFF before attempting to re-jailbreak

#

keep that toggle on "load tweaks"

analog elk
#

I'm rebooting and clicking jailbreak again, like its says to do.

fleet parcel
#

that's fine.

analog elk
#

Alright its exploiting the kernel

#

My Apple TV crashed

#

wait wtf

fleet parcel
#

it may crash once or twice. This is normal.

analog elk
#

Okay

#

trying again

fleet parcel
#

before trying

analog elk
#

Oh well

#

Already did

fleet parcel
#

that's ok

#

just wanted to make sure auto updates was still set to off

analog elk
#

It said An error occurred while installing a package from the local repo.

fleet parcel
#

Reboot/retry

analog elk
#

Okay

fleet parcel
#

but when you go in unc0ver, check settings to keep auto updates OFF

analog elk
#

Okay I'll check it again before jailbreaking

#

Apple tv crashed again

#

Trying again

fleet parcel
#

yup...

analog elk
#

No errors occurred

fleet parcel
#

cool

analog elk
#

Rebooting into a jailbroken state

fleet parcel
#

good

analog elk
#

It opened Nito

#

Nice

fleet parcel
#

Yup.

analog elk
#

I like it lol

fleet parcel
#

Disregard any updates

#

you don't need them

#

Exit nitoTV

analog elk
#

Okay

#

Okay

fleet parcel
#

go into unc0ver

analog elk
#

Okay

fleet parcel
#

Check Settings to make sure that auto updates are OFF

analog elk
#

It is

fleet parcel
#

Cool, now turn on "Restore root fs"

analog elk
#

You mean "disable auto updates" is off

#

Turned it on

fleet parcel
#

yes

analog elk
#

The Restore RootFS is on

fleet parcel
#

Once Restore Root FS is on, head to the main screen

analog elk
#

"disable auto updates" is off

#

Okay

fleet parcel
#

and click "Restore Root-FS"

analog elk
#

Clicked

fleet parcel
#

give it a few mins

analog elk
#

it says The system needs to revoot to finish the jailbreak process. When you device reboots, re

fleet parcel
#

that's fine

#

let 'er reboot

analog elk
#

re run the jailbreak to complete the process

#

Okay

#

It's rebooting.

fleet parcel
#

don't need to re-run the jailbreak

analog elk
#

Okay I won't

fleet parcel
#

Once booted, check to see if there's a nitoTV icon present on your homescreen

analog elk
#

oh no

fleet parcel
#

ok

#

oh no bad or oh no as uh-oh

analog elk
#

I recorded a video of something I'll show you

#

It just happened

fleet parcel
#

ok?

analog elk
#

I unlpugged the device

fleet parcel
#

why did you unplug?

analog elk
#

Oh no it looks really bad

#

Because of this:

fleet parcel
#

Unplug the HDMI

#

and plug back in

analog elk
#

My tummy actually hurts now

fleet parcel
#

your Apple TVs fine

analog elk
#

Okay I will

#

Oh

fleet parcel
#

that is just interference with the connection

analog elk
#

Okay its on what now

fleet parcel
#

analog elk
#

Yea

fleet parcel
#

cool

analog elk
#

Its smooth

fleet parcel
#

analog elk
#

Its not here anymore

fleet parcel
#

Reset

analog elk

Okay

fleet parcel
#

Reset and update

analog elk
#

Okay

fleet parcel
#

keep it plugged in. Do not power it off

analog elk
#

Checking for the latest update..

#

Okay

#

If this truly works

fleet parcel
#

what it'll do is it'll wipe the system clean and update your device

analog elk
#

You'll get all my paypal balance

#

ITS DONWLOADING THE UPDATE

fleet parcel
#

👍

analog elk
#

YEA

fleet parcel
#

Give it time

analog elk
#

I will

#

Wait

#

It says 3 hours left

#

Can I plug my ethernet cable?

fleet parcel
#

Noo

analog elk
#

Oof

fleet parcel
#

dont unplug anything

#

Ethernet is faster than wifi

analog elk
#

plug no unplug

#

Yes it is

#

Read my message again

fleet parcel
#

ooh yeah

analog elk
#

Alright

fleet parcel
#

sorry thought you had ethernet plugged in

#

😛

analog elk
#

lol

#

I kinda have 170Mb pepeGiggle

fleet parcel
#

yeah, I wouldn't touch Wi-Fi OTA updates with a 9 foot pole

#

that's like waiting for grandma to finish bingo

analog elk
#

Damn

#

Guess what

fleet parcel
#

hmm?

analog elk
#

from 5 hours

#

to 3 minutes pepeGiggle

fleet parcel
#

cool

analog elk
#

Thanks dude I really appreciate it

fleet parcel
#

@high bear Yeah, I took a look at the Twitch tweak... its not the same for tvOS

#

No worries

analog elk
#

I did almost the same process but it looks like unc0ver is kinda messy with disabling OTA updates

#

Welp

fleet parcel
#

Yeah it had a bug a while back, but has since been fixed

analog elk
#

It had a bug with disabling the OTA updates Daemon in iOS

#

They fixed it in the newer version

fleet parcel
#

wasn't a big bug.. just an opposite functioning switch

analog elk
#

Yea ik I actually turned it off and got the opposite result KEKW

fleet parcel
#

I'm just glad you didn't install unc0ver beta 2.. or you would've been in deeper trouble...

analog elk
#

O

#

I'm always installing the latest versions WeSmart

#

Not for iOS tho KEKW

fleet parcel
#

I don't know if you knew this, but beta 2 for tvOS caused Apple TVs to bootloop

analog elk
#

Damn this sounds.. harsh

fleet parcel
#

well, let's just say: if you bootlooped a 4K, you'll need to return it to Apple

analog elk
#

Oh that's a big no

#

And that's because I can't return it to apple

fleet parcel
#

and why is that?

analog elk
#

Didn't get it from there

fleet parcel
#

doesn't matter.

analog elk
#

Got it from a "trusted store"

#

trusted by Apple of course

#

They don't get returns uhh

fleet parcel
#

Don't matter where you buy Apple products, they're responsible for it when the end user can't fix it

analog elk
#

I actually got this Apple TV 4K from my family a few days ago, I wanted to return it and but they newer one that's supposed to come out..

#

But the store it was bought from.. doesn't accept returns

fleet parcel
#

Meh, the store might not, but Apple always will

I'll fly to the USA rq, don't really have an Apple Store in Israel, I have 10 days KEKW

#

Alright it has been reset

#

I'll set it up now

fleet parcel
#

Don't need to fly, you can just mail

analog elk
#

Email to return it?

fleet parcel
#

not email, post

analog elk
#

How will I return it tho

#

But it doesn't have a defect of some sort

#

Anyways thank you very much dude, you were really really helpful
You.. saved me Clap

fleet parcel
#

No worries, enjoy!

analog elk
#

I'm off to sleep, again, thank you.

fleet parcel
#

Good night

analog elk
#

gn

torn spade
#

Anybody around?

high bear
#

@fleet parcel ah thats unfortunate are you still planning on working on it then?

analog elk
#

@torn spade hanging out in tvos channel eh

torn spade
#

what do you have for suggestions on useful legal things to do with tvos jailbreaks?

analog elk
#

well, theming is a given. running a media server is something im doing with mine at the moment in leui of having another computer. bringing a mouse/trackpad to the tv would be cool, similar to what's on the current ipadOS

#

Are you looking to compile a list of why-to-jailbreak-tv or are you actually wanting to make something?

torn spade
#

Saurik is working on the DMCA stuff and needs examples of legitimate uses that jailbreaking it unlocks

#

Media server isn’t helpful because that’s often just sharing pirated tv shows

analog elk
#

ah understandable there

#

Specific example: I wrote a tweak to make my atv sound like a wii

torn spade
#

Why? How is that helpful?

#

Just you like the sound?

analog elk
#

yeah I just like the sound haha. It was a big part of my childhood so it was kinda nifty to have it on the tv again in 2019

#

it performs about as much function as a theme does, but it's for your ears

frigid moat
#

Lets you use non-apple controllers with ATV App Store games

torn spade
#

Yeah ncontrol is noted

#

somebody should work on a terminal app that uses a bluetooth keyboard and maybe mouse at least 😐

undone vine
#

Does ncontrol allows non bluetooth controllers such as xbox360 to connect ATV?

torn spade
#

it's bluetooth

#

oh it might work for USB? I'm not really sure sorry but I'm guessing only bluetooth

frigid moat
#

I think the ATV usb port is device mode only

#

Bluetooth keyboard would be great.
There's air magic for control over web

torn spade
#

Bluetooth keyboard is supposed to work but mine didn’t want to pair

#

Does it not work for you either?

#

(I compiled and ran mterminal for tvos but I have no idea if it works because I have no keyboard working with it)

fleet parcel
#

Too bad you can't just trigger the UI keyboard (as much of a pain as it would be) for mterm

#

Good luck with using peripherals in the USB port, although it might be as easy as editing a kext or plist.. But Bluetooth is your best bet

undone vine
#

The 360 remote is wireless however without BT, the question, is standard like WIFI or some unknown wireless protocol by Microsoft

fleet parcel
#

@undone vine it would be another type of wireless interface, using a receiver and a transmitter (much like wireless mice) but would need its own processor chip, as its set to be programmed for more than just basic control mapping

#

I would like to set Siri to a different language than the AppStore

worn frost
#

Few things I would love to use from a TVOS jailbreak:
Themes
Support 4K youtube streaming on Apple Tv 4K
Airplay 4K videos shot on iphone

fleet parcel
#

@worn frost
Done
Good Luck (thank Apple for that)
Possible

worn frost
#

@fleet parcel I don’t think apple will ever support Youtube 4K. Was wondering if a standalone ++ type application can open the gates.

fleet parcel
#

Supporting 4K isn't an easy task.. you'd have to build its own compatible supported codec. However, since tvOS 14 is coming soon.. might be something 😉

worn frost
#

Other uses:
Browser for TVOS
Screensavers with useful information widgets like weather, twitter, or iPhone notifications on big screen

fleet parcel
#

Browser - done

worn frost
#

Its frustrating we cant even see what time it is on the Apple TV screen. We have to summon siri for it. Having widgets like on chromecast will be useful.

#

Ability to play Personal videos as screensaver would also be useful.

fleet parcel
#

@worn frost tvOS 13 shows you the time

#

and screensaver videos are very possible too

worn frost
#

I can’t find the time anywhere on home screen or screensaver. Where can I see that?

fleet parcel
#

its in the Control Center

#

Hold the TV button. You'll see it

worn frost
#

Thats for sharing that. Having that time right on the screen somewhere in a corner in Home page and Screensaver would be much better.

#

how do I fix -77 checkra1n tvOS jailbreak

#

@fleet parcel

fleet parcel
#

mac? or bootra1n?

stable wing
#

bootra1n

fleet parcel
#

enter DFU first

#

then retry

stable wing
#

dfu then start?

fleet parcel
#

yes

stable wing
#

ok

#

thx

#

same thing

fleet parcel
#

what version of checkra1n are you using?

#

and is it 4 or 4K?

stable wing
#

Apple TV 4, beta 10.21

fleet parcel
#

just keep trying

#

maybe also use 10.1

stable wing
#

ok

#

so keep doing dfu mode?

fleet parcel
#

no, reboot

#

then do dfu

stable wing
#

ok

#

@fleet parcel how long did it take you to do it

fleet parcel
#

roughly 2 mins

stable wing
#

aight

#

and what port should I use, 3.0 or 2.0

#

for the cable

#

@fleet parcel

fleet parcel
#

3.0

stable wing
#

that explains it

fleet parcel
#

always 3.0

#

anything lower with usb is ineffective

stable wing
#

ok

#

@fleet parcel still not doing it

fleet parcel
#

what tvOS do you have?

stable wing
#

13.4.6

#

@fleet parcel

fleet parcel
#

okay, so go to options

#

select "Untested versions"

#

and run the jailbreak

#

but make sure tvOS is booted first

stable wing
#

booted or dfu mode?

fleet parcel
#

booted

stable wing
#

ok

#

@fleet parcel -77 again

fleet parcel
#

keep trying

stable wing
#

😠 aight

fleet parcel
#

if its the same, use bootra1n 10.1

stable wing
#

ok

stable wing
#

@fleet parcel still got -77

fleet parcel
#

do you have another puter?

stable wing
#

no

#

do I have to download iTunes for the drivers?

#

@fleet parcel

fleet parcel
#

when you're using bootra1n.. there is no itunes

stable wing
#

oh

#

so what do i do now

#

@fleet parcel

fleet parcel
#

how are you doing DFU mode?

stable wing
#

like I’m supposed to

#

boot, then hold menu and pause/play

fleet parcel
#

noo

#

what does checkra1n say when you click "Start"?

stable wing
#

goes into recovery

fleet parcel
#

so when you're in recovery

#

what do you do?

stable wing
#

go into dfu

fleet parcel
#

ok, but how

stable wing
#

menu and pause

#

/play

fleet parcel
#

how long do you hold them for?

stable wing
#

10 secs

fleet parcel
#

do 7 seconds

stable wing
#

did that

fleet parcel
#

what version of checkra1n do you have?

stable wing
#

idk

#

how do I find out

fleet parcel
#

it tells you on the checkra1n app

stable wing
#

app?

#

or bootra1n screen

#

@fleet parcel

fleet parcel
#

the app

#

in bootra1n

stable wing
#

0.10.1

#

rn

fleet parcel
#

ok

#

so when you boot into checkra1n, did you use sudo checkra1n?

stable wing
#

no

fleet parcel
#

you need to use that

stable wing
#

cause then it says “run as root”

fleet parcel
#

if you're logging in as anon

#

you need to use sudo checkra1n

stable wing
#

ik but i use root

#

cause it says I have to

fleet parcel
#

try the other method

stable wing
#

wut method

fleet parcel
#

... the method i literally just told you

stable wing
#

anon?

fleet parcel
#

yes

#

run sudo checkra1n

stable wing
#

ok

#

then?

fleet parcel
#

what do you mean "then?" then just try to jailbreak

stable wing
#

k

#

ain’t work @fleet parcel

fleet parcel
#

what error?

stable wing
#

-77 again

fleet parcel
#

how long does it take for it to error?

stable wing
#

idk

#

lemme check

#

37 secs to -63

#

i used the “dfu first” method

#

@fleet parcel

fleet parcel
#

don't use dfu first

#

use recovery first

stable wing
#

ok it take 43 secs to -77

#

@fleet parcel

fleet parcel
#

so that means that you're not doing DFU properly

stable wing
#

so how am I supposed to do dfu

#

if I hold it for 7 secs

fleet parcel
#

you gotta time it just right

#

takes practice

#

so when you hold it for 7 seconds... then click "Start"

stable wing
#

nope still ain’t work @fleet parcel

fleet parcel
#

what error?

stable wing
#

the same one

#

@fleet parcel

fleet parcel
#

do you have another usb-c?

stable wing
#

no

fleet parcel
#

did you save blobs?

stable wing
#

what’s a blob

fleet parcel
#

that's a no

#

Was your apple tv jailbroken before?

#

and did you ever reset it?

stable wing
#

never jailbroken or reseted

fleet parcel
#

are you logged in through an Apple ID or iCloud?

stable wing
#

Apple ID

#

@fleet parcel

fleet parcel
#

log out of it

stable wing
#

aight

#

what’s supposed to happen

#

are all supposed to log out?

#

including icloud, and Game Center?

#

@fleet parcel

fleet parcel
#

yes

stable wing
#

ok now what

#

do I jailbreak

#

@fleet parcel

fleet parcel
#

yes

stable wing
#

ok

#

-77 again @fleet parcel

fleet parcel
#

just keep trying

#

dont need to ping every single time

stable wing
#

ok my bad

#

should I update to 0.10.2

fleet parcel
#

you can try

stable wing
#

aight I’ll do later

jaunty rune
#

Provenance crashing on second open, just like mr jump @fleet parcel

stable wing
#

ok i got -63

#

this time

#

@fleet parcel

fleet parcel
#

ok, try again

#

@jaunty rune what jb?

jaunty rune
#

U0

fleet parcel
#

Restore root FS

#

re-jb

#

re-install

jaunty rune
#

Would that fix mr jump too or did that end up being a different issue? But ok ill try that for provenance

#

And just curious whats the actual issue causing these crashes

stable wing
#

and i got 77 again

fleet parcel
#

@stable wing reboot, retry

#

have you tried Graphics safe?

jaunty rune
#

Is it a certain version of u0 thats causing issues or just in general?

fleet parcel
#

i don't know, haven't had any issues

jaunty rune
#

Dang. K. Restorerootfs gets rid of u0 app right?

fleet parcel
#

no

jaunty rune
#

Or no, and can open and rejailbreak?

fleet parcel
#

yes

jaunty rune
#

Thanks just making sure. Gotta back some stuff up first

stable wing
#

I just tried graphics safe, still got -77

fleet parcel
#

you're not having the best of luck, are 'ya @stable wing

jaunty rune
#

Gotta be the isb port/cord? ^^

fleet parcel
#

I would try Resetting all contents and settings @stable wing

jaunty rune
#

*usb

fleet parcel
#

maybe that'll fix the issue

#

I blame bootra1n, its not the best

jaunty rune
#

Sub the iphone for atv

stable wing
#

ite

#

@jaunty rune I’m using tvOS I already have my phone jailbroken

jaunty rune
#

@stable wing yes the tutorial works the same for tvos

stable wing
#

I reseted, it still says -77

jaunty rune
#

Try what i sent

stable wing
#

@fleet parcel

fleet parcel
#

as much as i hate to say this, try the video above

stable wing
#

ok

#

how do I run Linux again

#

there’s a command in there somewhere

jaunty rune
#

... just do what the vid says. Start fresh

stable wing
#

no there’s a way to run Linux without having to start fresh

#

which bootra1n gives you that option

#

it’s void-installer as root

jaunty rune
#

Ok well if you can get into linux then start the tutorial from there . Otherwise... just start fresh

#

Since it could be your bootra1n causing issues

jaunty rune
#

@fleet parcel restored rootfs but now u0 wont open. Best way to get it back? Pc.

#

Checkra1n then u0?

fleet parcel
#

noo

#

its either checkra1n or u0

#

don't use one for the other

jaunty rune
#

Yes but how do i get u0 on an unjailbroken atv?

fleet parcel
#

How did you get it on there before?

#

you'd need a mac

#

or a virtual machine

jaunty rune
#

No mac pc. I just followed the vid from above to get checkra1n then airdrop u0

#

And rejb

#

Cant remember if i restoredrootfs before rejail

fleet parcel
#

that's prob why your tweaks are crashing

#

you cant jailbreak over-top of another jailbreak

#

using AirDrop to install a jailbreak is a no-no

jaunty rune
#

Yah well seemed to work ok. Just those two apps crashing is all thats gone wrong... from what i can tell

fleet parcel
#

you're lucky it was just the two apps..

#

could've been more

#

I'd just stick to checkra1n if I were you.. Revert Filesystem and re-jb

jaunty rune
#

Prob what ill do. Virtual machine just seems like a whole lot of work and chances for things to go wrong. Plus my pc is nothing to write home about

#

How do i revert? Havent done anything since restorerootfs

#

Though im not sure that worked correctly since i cant open u0

fleet parcel
#

If you can jailbreak with checkra1n, you can revert using the checkra1n loader in tvOS

#

that'll set you back to stock

#

then just go ahead and re-jailbreak

#

may as well delete u0 too

jaunty rune
#

Will do thanks

#

But so just curious. If i jailbroke with checkra1n then airdropped u0 and in u0 did restorerootfs then jailbreak with u0, thatd still potentially cause issues?

#

Wouldnt be a double jailbreak if first restorerootfs right?

#

Im still just gonna do checkra1n. More just curious how it works/wouldnt work the other way

fleet parcel
#

you may do Restore Root FS with u0

#

just don't jailbreak with a checkra1n FS

jaunty rune
#

Sorry for the confusion lol. So ur saying as long as I RRFS before jailbreaking with u0, then initially jailbreaking with checkra1n is fine? Or no

fleet parcel
#

yes

#

So restore rootFS with u0

#

then delete u0 and use checkra1n

jaunty rune
#

Ok.. but once ive jailbroken with checkra1n do not then airdrop u0>restorerootfs> jailbreak with u0

#

Just stick with checkra1n?

fleet parcel
#

you're making this so much more confusing

#

step 1. jailbreak with checkra1n
step 2. use u0 (if installed) to restore root FS
step 3. remove u0 after restore root fs
step 4. jailbreak with checkra1n

jaunty rune
#

Got it

#

I was asking why what i originally did (jailbreak with checkra1n then rrfs with u0 and then rejail with u0) wouldnt suffice? There would still be checkra1n files that could cause issues?

#

But sall good ima just do checkra1n

fleet parcel
#

Dunno, but considering you're using 2 different jailbreaks and one being in beta... it would conflict

jaunty rune
#

So then restorerootfs in u0 doesnt take away the checkra1n jb fully?

#

I see what you are saying though

fleet parcel
#

it does

jaunty rune
#

Ok so one last time ima try and not be confusing. This is how i thought it could work

  1. jailbreak with checkrain
  2. Airdrop u0 app repro
  3. Restorerootfs in u0
  4. Jailbreak with u0

Its still two jailbreaks conflicting even after step 3?

fleet parcel
#

@jaunty rune no

#

I just showed you the steps

jaunty rune
#

Yes i know im just wondering why those steps wont work if step 3 gets rid of checkra1n. Just curious so i get a better understanding of how things work

fleet parcel
#

ok, which one do you want

#

u0 or checkra1n

jaunty rune
#

Well ideally u0

fleet parcel
#

ok

#

then jailbreak with checkra1n, airdrop u0, restore rootFS and use u0 to jailbreak

jaunty rune
#

Yes those are the exact steps i said. So that will work or should i expect the same issues

fleet parcel
#

you shouldn't. it should work

jaunty rune
#

Ok i mustve not done restorerootfs first or something last time

fleet parcel
#

meh

jaunty rune
#

@fleet parcel @stable wing just remembered, alot of the time that error is false and the jailbreak worked. U sure its not working? Ur apple tv is plugged into hdmi right. Nito isnt there?

fleet parcel
#

if you get the error.. something wrong did happen

jaunty rune
#

Happened a bunch to me before but the jailbreak went through

#

Maybe thats the probs i was having

#

No errors this time thankfully

#

Spoke to soon no nito

#

Gonna reset i guess if next try doesnt work

jaunty rune
#

Nice checkra1n installer goin. No errors

fleet parcel
#

good

#

there should always be zero errors

#

if theres any and it still works.. there's obv an issue

jaunty rune
#

Yah i can for sure say that 77 error has come up and jailbreak still installed. Think a 90 something error too

#

But hopefully retardo... followed that vid cuz thats what just worked for me

fleet parcel
#

that name tho...

jaunty rune
#

Lol yah

#

Fitting?

#

For me maybe ... lol installer was going then stopped. Had same issue last time. Damn gotta redo it

#

No whammys no whammys no whammys

jaunty rune
#

So close.. no cigar 3rd times the charm

jaunty rune
#

Damn it just keeps exiting out of the installer

thorn kernel
#

Is there any way to downgrade an Apple TV 4K? (no USB c on it)

#

upgrade* I want to get a specific ipsw from ipsw.me

analog elk
#

@thorn kernel you could use Charles Proxy to force OTA update to a specific version, but only 13.4.6 and 13.4.8 beta 1 are signed atm, neither of them support unc0ver

#

which version are you on currently?

jaunty rune
#

Checkra1n loads no errors but the installer keeps crashing/exiting. Gets about 2/3 of the way there and stops.

storm ridge
#

@jaunty rune what tvOS is your 4k on

jaunty rune
#

Hd not 4k 13.4.5

storm ridge
#

I had a few 4k's that were all on 12.4. A couple I upgraded in time OTA to 13.4.5 and jb with u0, another I used Charles Proxy and a 13.4.5 beta to get to 13.4.5 after 13.4.6 came out. And the last one I used Charles Proxy again but this time I had to reset the device to 12.4 first. Point being sometimes a reset and start fresh can really help

#

Just don't select reset and upgrade. Save blobs first just in case.

jaunty rune
#

Yah did many resets and restarts

storm ridge
#

You are working with an HD box, so should be easier

#

My suspicion is you could have a buggered file system that is not being repaired with the on board reset and you might need a full reset through iTunes. However, this would require saving blobs first then updating to the latest signed firmware and then futurerestoring back to 13.4.5. Not for the faint of heart. And, it still may not work.

jaunty rune
#

Right. Dang

storm ridge
#

Are you able to get u0 on it?

jaunty rune
#

Pc

storm ridge
#

Since I have macOSX, I've been using Xcode. I have not tried airdropping u0 onto the device. Might be an issue there too and how's its loaded/signed

fleet parcel
#

@analog elk no

#

@thorn kernel no

storm ridge
#

As I said before, I had one box that would not update until I reset it to factory after many helpful suggestions here.

fleet parcel
#

@jaunty rune what are you trying to do?

jaunty rune
#

Install checkra1n

fleet parcel
#

Is the checkra1n loader crashing?

jaunty rune
#

The installer on the tv yah

stable wing
#

what happened while I was gone

analog elk
#

@analog elk no
@fleet parcel what?

stable wing
#

I’m doing the Linux thing today

fleet parcel
#

@analog elk can't downgrade anymore

#

@jaunty rune did you Restore with iTunes?

jaunty rune
#

No trying to stay on 13.4.5

fleet parcel
#

Why?

jaunty rune
#

So i can use u0

fleet parcel
#

Do you have blobs?

jaunty rune
#

I want to say yes

analog elk
#

@fleet parcel I know, like I said the only versions that are installable can’t be jailbroken with u0

fleet parcel
#

@jaunty rune what's your ecid?

jaunty rune
#

Have to go get my pc again just put it up lol been workin on this for hours

fleet parcel
#

Cause with your ecid, i can check if you have blobs, then if so you can update and downgrade

#

Let this be a lesson: if you're using a jailbreak to install a jailbreak, you're asking for trouble @storm ridge

jaunty rune
#

Lol

#

Yah ill check the blobs later i have to knock out.

fleet parcel
#

@jaunty rune I'm soo glad you have the HD and not the 4K because with the 4K at this point, you'd be screwed

jaunty rune
#

Restoring to 13.4.6 wouldnt help? For the 4k. Or ur saying i wouldnt even be able to do that

#

In which case yes im glad too

stable wing
#

YES I GOT IT

fleet parcel
#

restoring to 13.4.6 would help, but then you'd only be able to checkra1n the 4K

stable wing
#

ON LINUX

#

YES

fleet parcel
#

Good!

stable wing
#

but now i have to install everything back

#

and how do I keep the jailbreak on there?

jaunty rune
#

Haha that makes one of us @stable wing glad it worked for u

fleet parcel
#

Just don't reboot

stable wing
#

ok thanks

#

what’s supposed to pop up when I jailbreak

#

@fleet parcel

fleet parcel
#

The checkra1n loader

#

Might take a minute or two

stable wing
#

aight

#

it’s not popping up

fleet parcel
#

Did you power it off after jb?

stable wing
#

no

fleet parcel
#

Give it some more time

#

If not, rejb

stable wing
#

is it because it was in its reseted state

fleet parcel
#

When i first did my 4K, it took about 4 mins

stable wing
#

when I jailbreaked?

fleet parcel
#

I was going through the app store.. Then it popped up

#

But also, you could've exited.. When linking the Siri Remote after reboot, use the pause/play button

#

Any other button might exit out of the app

stable wing
#

Oh here we go

fleet parcel
#

Cool. Enjoy

#

sillyChamp kitchen

stable wing
#

lol yes, the Apple TV is in the kitchen

storm ridge
#

@fleet parcel I've only installed u0 with Xcode, then restarted the box to get out of JB mode, then ran restore rootfs with u0 to get rid of previous jailbreaks (ie. Electra and Chimera). Then jb with u0. That worked for me. However, I've noticed with u0 it will ask you to respring and run the jb again to complete the process (ie. get Nito to show up)

analog elk
#

it does that only once after a restore rootfs

fleet parcel
#

I do understand, just making a PSA to let new users know when I'm AFK @storm ridge

stable wing
#

what are some good repos for Apple TV @fleet parcel

fleet parcel
stable wing
#

thx

storm ridge
#

@fleet parcel before upgrading to 13.4.5 I made a backup of Kodi. It created a zip which I've put back on the new box and pointed the Backup addon to it. When I run restore it just throws an error and says check the log file. I found threads on this as a known problem, solutions are for desktop Kodi versions. Short of rebuilding Kodi again from scratch, which is a pain, do you know of an Apple TV fix for restore from a backup file?

fleet parcel
#

i think that option is obsolete

#

seeing as it uses a different file structure nowadays to store Kodi content

#

instead of the .app that would be original

#

but I'll look into that

analog elk
#

hey guys i'm having trouble side loading uncover to my apple tv 4k using xcode. i keep getting an error message saying unable to install when i try to install the ipa

fleet parcel
analog elk
#

thank you. i'll let you know if i need further assistance

devout estuary
#

When needing to re-sign u0, I’ve always just deleted it and re-installed from scratch. Is there an easier way to just re-sign the installed u0 app?

fleet parcel
#

@devout estuary ReProvision

jaunty rune
#

Looks like i dont have 13.4.5 blobs. 13.4, 13.4.6, and 13.5?

#

Or is 13.5 actually 13.4.5

fleet parcel
#

13.5 = 13.4.5

#

13.5.1 = 13.4.6

jaunty rune
#

Gotta love naming schemes

fleet parcel
#

reason being is because the covid-19 info was introduced in iOS.. but not inside tvOS (seeing as you don't need it on your TV) and hence, the big update was renamed

jaunty rune
#

Ah

fleet parcel
#

The one thing I hate, is the Apple TV 2/3 naming sceme

#

you're downloading an "iOS 8.3" firmware.. but installed it states 7.5

Haha or 5,3 for atv4

fleet parcel
#

but with blobs, you can get to 13.4.5

#

(just not with 4K)

Good thing I have ATV 4 and not 4K

fleet parcel
#

well the 5,3 makes sense.. seeing as Apple released 2 Apple TV 3 devices

#

Damn lol

@reef turtle you won't need 13.4.5 unless you want a semi-untether jailbreak

jaunty rune
#

So now that i have the 13.4.5 blobs, how do i go about getting back to it after restoring to 13.4.6. Only know about futurerestore on ios but never used it. Also hopefully its possible with pc

reef turtle
#

Is there other versions available?

fleet parcel
#

pc is very possible

#

Is there other versions available?
@reef turtle nope

reef turtle
#

Damn

fleet parcel
#

its either downgrade with blobs or use checkra1n at this point...

reef turtle
#

I don’t have a Mac on me right now so semi-tethered is useless

#

I’d have to use blobs then

fleet parcel
#

You can use checkra1n on a PC

reef turtle
#

Oh

#

Fair enough

fleet parcel
#

😉

reef turtle
#

Big ups

#

I’ll see what I can try

fleet parcel
#

may not be easy.. but it works

reef turtle
#

Yeah I’ve dealt with difficulties with jailbreaking

#

But I successfully made it past all of them

fleet parcel
#

Well, if need be, I'll be here to assist you

reef turtle
#

Thanks

#
