yes, or download it to your mac
Yah ill prob just redownload
What all files do i need on the mac
Besides futurerestore
Because i have everything already just on the pc not mac
Ok so ssh back in from pc?
nah
Whoops should i not have shutdown mac?
So, basically follow what you did here https://discordapp.com/channels/349243932447604736/688125177820610598/724552920766611536
shutting down mac is fine
just.. when you do the futurerestore command (that you have) don't press enter
So starting with the first command?
yes, do you see the pic you have?
it's the same way you did it (unless you moved files around)
just make sure you do it the same way but don't press enter
Good?
Ok
are you able to connect via USB to your apple tv without unplugging it?
Yah
Done
okay, now in Apple TV, go to Settings > System > Restart
Your apple tv will reboot, but then you'll see the restore link on your screen
Yup
cool, On your PC, press enter on the futurerestore command
Extracting from ipsw
cool, let it do its thing
Didnt change port and itunes sees it
So change port and run again?
Ok itunes sees it running command
Same thing
Its not the unable to find bbchipid node
Whatever that is
?
Ok
if that doesn't work, we'll try the mac
Ok
Should i delete the files created in the folder where futurerestore is
Download folder nothing in it and appletv5,3_Restore folder with a compressed file
?
@fleet parcel
Try mac
Ok trying to add the folder with all the stuff to mac
you can install the VMware tools
Think i did need to update it says
ah, ok. up to you
Ok downloading the update
cool
Happen to have the link for mac futurerestore?
Also i installed vmware tools but now what? I dont see if anywhere
I just added a shared folder. Im seeing the files there in mac
with the shared folders, you can just locate the files on your pc and drag/drop them into mac
cool
might have to change permissions on futurerestor
so in mac, head to terminal and type: chmod 0755 /path/to/futurerestore
I mean i downloaded from safari in mac
cool
plug in the apple tv, make sure mac sees it
and type /path/to/futurerestore -t SHSH_Blob.shsh2 -m /path/to/BuildManifest.plist -s /path/to/SEP.im4p /path/to/13.4.5.ipsw --no-baseband
the path to the blob is the same type of path
i just felt lazy and didn't type /path/to
Lol ok so to be clear instead of typing what you put should i drag and drop the blob?
yes
Zsh killed
Futurerestore cant open developer cant be verified
Cant verify ap is free from malware
is this mojave?
oof ok
@jaunty rune Unidentified developer complaint - Click "open anyway" in system prefs
K
terminal, type: sudo codesign -f -s - /path/to/futurerestore
Replacing existing signatures
good
Done
Internet went out for a second
Keeps repeating
Zsh abort
Try again?
Web is back
10.15.5
okay.. for now, you can reset your apple tv back futurerestore --exit-recovery
i'll try it on my end and give you my futurerestore that should work
Ok done
I have a ATV4 with 9,0 untethered, stay or update and get checkra1n ..?
@finite leaf I'd stay
@jaunty rune @fleet parcel For macs, I would try a different version of futurerestore. I tried that version 245 dated Jun 25/19 and it gave me errors on High Sierra (most likely would be the same for Mojave and Catalina). Had better success with this version compiled Feb. 13/20
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/548958604687048735/677469535737217024/futurerestore_HighSierra_182.tar.xz
you can use Kodi Matrix, no idea if that works on 9.0 though
@analog elk @finite leaf I have Kodi Leia 18.7 running on an iPad 9.3.5. Works fine
EDIT... doesn't look like there's a tvOS build of Kodi 18.7. Perhaps try Krypton 17.6
oh ok, I use Kodi Matrix from default repos on ATV4K 13.4.5
can I app repo to tvos 9
@clever blade yes
I have yet to compile it and test it on my end @storm ridge to confirm it working.. I believe its his network 😛
@analog elk Kodi Matrix won't work with 9.. best bet is Kodi 17
@finite leaf nitoTV has discontinued support for tvOS 9.. However if you need help updating, send a screenshot to see whats up
so, confirmed working @jaunty rune.. just a network issue on your side
@haughty thorn beta 3 is good for checkra1n
wew
bro
common sense
Ping?
can u jailbreak apple tv ios 13.4.6?
*tvOS, yes
checkra1n
how do i connect to pc?
what Apple TV you got?
Idk thats what im tryna find out its model A1625
k thx
@clever blade yes> I have yet to compile it and test it on my end @storm ridge to confirm it working.. I believe its his network 😛
@fleet parcel
Yup think it was
Yup thankfully. Went pretty easily too hah
Thanks again that was a whole lotta time/work
Yup got u0
No checkra1n first this time
lol
Normally pretty stingy but ill have to donate one these days. Videopace or mr jump starts working and my hand will be forced lol
I'll make a link soon 😉
@fleet parcel I decided to join the party on an ATV3 🤓 . I jailbroke and ran these commands
wget http://joshtv.net/party.sh
bash /private/var/root/party.sh
How do I get Kodi? The 14.2 version in Nito throws up errors.
@storm ridge 14.2 won't run that well, hence why I put the lowest version in the party
But Kodi doesn't install at all after those commands. Is there something else needed?
Kodi does get installed if using the party @storm ridge, if not, I suggest restoring and re-running the party
I ran those 2 commands in terminal so guess it didn't work. I jailbroke it in Feb and just left it. Any terminal commands to get it installed without restoring?
Not really, who knows what you've got on there... The party didn't work if you don't have Kodi nor nitoTV
Restoring won't do much, seeing as user content is server-based
hey i have my jailbroken 4k and it got shut off and u0 is now unsigned. do i have to follow all of these steps https://www.elcomsoft.com/PR/pdf/AppleTV_OTA_sideloading.pdf
or is there a faster way since i already have it jailbroken
or had i should say
@fleet parcel nitoTV is installed, Kodi is not. Here's the terminal result
https://www.dropbox.com/s/kweorykhipbreky/atv3 terminal result.txt?dl=0
Terminal says this..."Kodi source is already there. Moving on..."
When I ssh in Kodi.frappliance is installed under /private/var/Applications. But the install version has a date in early Feb when I first jailbroke it. I tried to install Kodi then. nitoTV app doesn't give me an uninstall option. So without doing a full restore, is there a terminal way to remove the old Kodi and try your party install again?
@zenith inlet you could follow these... http://joshtv.net/Guides/sideload.html
@storm ridge looks like your stashing is corrupt. The party tried to make space on your device but failed
This is also the result of many other errors.
@fleet parcel turns out I was able to delete Kodi through Nito, then ran the party script again and now it shows. But, you say the stashing is corrupt. When I check terminal logs it says "Everything is already stashed. Stashing done!". But I have 2 errors, not sure what they are
/bin/mv: cannot stat /motd': No such file or directory /bin/mv: cannot stat /profile': No such file or directory
Do you think I still need to restore, rejailbreak and run the party again?
If it works for you, i wouldn't. But, if you'd like the complete experience of the party, you may @storm ridge
Well Kodi opens... sometimes it crashes out so makes me wonder if there isn't a corruption after all
Dunno about that.. The crashing seems normal to me (running updated apps on older tech)
Although, i might doctor up the party today to include plex and fix nitoTVs "update all" function..
ok if you do get around to it maybe I'll just do a clean restore then and run the script again
@fleet parcel thanks I’ll take a look
Damn still need Xcode hackintosh is out for repair right now
@zenith inlet virtual machines work too
Yeah my computer is too shitty to run it
It’s not possible to reset it without updating is it? It ended up freezing or something cuz my tv wouldn’t detect it, so I restarted it and it started up I jailbroken obviously. Again today it won’t be detected by the tv unless it’s unplugged first. My Xbox one, ps3 and Android box all work fine so it@isn’t the tv
@zenith inlet you can reset it without updating.. However resetting whilst jailbroken is a big no-no.
It's best to Restore root fs prior.
This would require a non-revoked jailbreak app
Has anyone been able to update an Apple TV 4K with a breakout board installed? I’m trying to update to a higher tvOS and rejailbreak but the update files are never able to install. I’ve tried installing unc0ver, restoring RootFS, and resetting the device. After resetting, I’m still unable to update tvOS.
@chrome ember updating with the breakout board does work.
Do you have any profiles installed?
I do not
One thing I'd try; is removing the white ribbon cable from the board, then retry the update
Worth a shot. I’ll give it a try and let you know what happens
👍
@fleet parcel That did the trick 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@chrome ember just stay away from 14 😉
Oh, for sure. Thanks again!
@fleet parcel is there anyway to reset network settings?
getting a ton of weird disconnects only on my appletv so thought i could give it a shot
nah... best way is to forget wifi
damn ive done that a couple times already and nothings helped
There a way to get connected to hotel wifi by changing mac address without a computer? Ssh?
why would you change the mac address?
@fleet parcel ok thanks for the info I’ll have to wait for my hackintosh to get back
@fleet parcel dunno thats the only way i know the appletv can login to hotel wifi
ooof hotel wifi
browser do what
hi, this is probably a noob question, but how could I install chimera on my Apple TV if Impactor dosen't works?
feel free to ping me
@void vapor You'll need a mac, either hackintosh, official or virtual machine
@fleet parcel am i crazy or is version 8 not on https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11DABHIIqwYQKj1L83AK9ywk_hYMjEkcaxpIg6phbTf0/edit?folder=0AFFrFYi-o7KvUk9PVA#gid=1014970938
Version 8? as in tvOS?
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
😛
okay friend just updated his Apple TV 3rd Gen to 7.5. chart says etasonATV is untested, can i just restore if it fucks up
like iOS
Doubt it will, but if it does, yeah
etasonATV won't work for the latest. Reason being: tihmstar needs to add offsets for the latest vers.
Until Apple stops signing the lower vers, tihm won't touch it
therefore why its untested
never jb an apple tv lmao
Once you do.. you'll love it (maybe not the older ones, but newer, yes)
well its his so I won't be touching it after
just the ability to screenshot is already nice lol
should be fun tho
y'all could join The Party after jbin the 3rd 😉
that's the only reason he wants it lmao. He called me asking how to jb then told me after 
I mean, its possible to backport it.. but I'd need a 3rd to test/try 😛
well any tests I'm sure he'd let you try lol. His mom wants to watch hamilton lmao
shit that's true

@fleet parcel my TV+ app on ATV3 JB (September 8.4.3 release) says I need to update the OS version in order for the app to work. But the updated firmware is not jailbreakable
indeed its not.
Apple's way to get people to upgrade and then they will close the jb version firmware
Although, I was thinking of backporting the TV+.. but I don't have a 3rd to try
Would it be as simple as changing the Minimum OS version in the plist file for TV+ , then packaging it up again?
possibly? I want to say yes, but we all know Apple is much more complex than that. I think there's additional services/daemons that run alongside it as well required for it to operate
Ya it's hit and miss. I have backported some IPA's for iPhone this way. Only real chance of working if it's on the same OS version eg. min 13.5.1 and you only have 13.5 installed. Will likely never work going back to older OS's.
Changing the MinimumOS doesn't "backport" it, it just bypasses iOS's launchd validation check
ah ok
Although, since the Swift implementation was introduced.. that bypass is somewhat patched.
just curious did you say the party script might get updated?
it might, yes
It may include Plex
I was going to edit the script to fix issues.. but who knows what ppl do and that'll throw more issues/errors within the scripts process
@fleet parcel I’ve got a couple 3rd gens laying around, if you’d like one to play with pm me. I never use them because I can’t get at&t tv app on them.
at&t on a 3rd gen?
Am I crazy or are the first 2 images not loading on https://etasonatv.tihmstar.net
You're not crazy
Well
the majority of it isn't loaded
What are the first two steps lol
(i blame the url)
Or is there a better tut
Essentially go to Settings Network Wifi
Google isn’t helpful lol
and change your DNS
the first two are how to get to your internet settings
after Step 9, you can stop and just SSH in
from there, you may join the party 😉
if you do, you can always restore it
Oh this a long profile lol
that's what my ex said
That’s a guy 😳

The jailbreak doesn't work with the latest
needs to be downgraded to the one below the latest
@uneven cave Download and restore depending on your model:
Download iOS 8.4.3 (12H876) for Apple TV 3
Download iOS 8.4.3 (12H876) for Apple TV 3 (2013)
Wait what
if you'd like @high bear.. it's merely bug fixes for easier jailbreaking
@jaunty rune If you have Reprovision installed and your device is still in jb mode then you can resign on device. Otherwise, I have to sideload again with Xcode
@storm ridge yah was no longer in jb
Got it
AT&T TV app on my ATV’s won’t play content when connected to my VPN network anymore. Will play fine while on regular network. Sling TV still plays fine on VPN. Any way to get around this with a tweak?
I could prob bypass vpn detection... @honest citrus @devout estuary
That would be awesome. Had my friend come change it to a different Dallas server and it’s working now. So only that other server was being detected. But for how long, I’m sure they’ll keep adding servers to block.
Is it possible to mount external drive to appl tv?
@kind vale no
@devout estuary is it AT&T TV or AT&T WatchTV?
AT&T TV
NordVPN works for me with AT&T TV
Nothing seems to work for me with Amazon Prime though...
you can get a residential IP from TorGuard (US/UK/JP)
whats the best jailbreakable apple tv you can buy
Semi-untethered or untethered only
Probably the 4th Gen (ATV HD)
is that 4k
ah
does ios version matter for atv
obviously
im gonna look at that chart i didnt see it at the top
yeah if you want an ATV4K semi-untethered JB you need to get it on tvOS 13.4.5 or lower
@frigid tangle there hasn't been an untethered in over 5 years...
and check the pins next time
The Apple TV 4K (5th gen) requires soldering to jailbreak
@robust token No it doesn't.
there's currently 3 ways to jailbreak the 4K.. one of which is solder
what are the other two
might try and jailbreak mine if i can
wait there's a chart
sideloading unc0ver (if on the proper tvOS)
oh
or Goldeneye
mine is latest ios 13
*tvOS
everyone needs to stop calling Apple TV software iOS
or i'll start calling Apple Watch software tvOS
😉
Curious why did Apple call the OS for watch "audio"OS anyway? 🤨
@storm ridge audioOS is for HomePod
ah yes of course. I've got my share of Apple ginch but that is one item I have skipped over. Amazon stole that market with their Echo devices
Can anyone load a newer version of provenance into a repo? The latest beta hasn’t been updated in Nito in a long time and always crashes, previous version works ok but Album Art won’t load due to an old URL template in the code.
@devout estuary I'll do what i can
Anyone got a tut how to jb Apple TV with uncover
Ohh okay thanks m8
I'm on TVOS 13.4.5 on my Apple TV 4.. is there any reason I shouldn't go to 13.4.6? I can jailbreak either one, right?
@plain fractal 13.4.5 allows unc0verTV to work (semi-untethered)
13.4.6 only works with checkra1n (semi-tethered)
@fleet parcel Thanks for clarifying that. Do you know if there's a way to prevent it from constantly nagging to update once jailbroken?
There's a couple of ways, either using unc0vers "Disable Updates" feature, or installing MCPatchTV and putting the WatchOS beta profile
“Peacock”..🤦♂️ jb detection bypass doable?
If I use AppStore++ is there a version of spectrum that works with spec break
@haughty thorn tvOS 13.4.8 confirmed working with checkra1n
Nice
Speaking of specbreak... peabreak?? Lol
@jaunty rune working on KernBypass for tvOS
@fleet parcel nice. Any hints on where to find kernbypass tv
@icy wolf Restore via itunes, re-jailbreak then re-do the party script
make sure you restore with the September release IPSW
@fleet parcel or do you mean you are working on making kernbypass work for tvos?
Ah cool... does the fact kernbypass doesnt work for peacock on ios mean anything
probably not.. seeing as iOS is more focused on jb-anything than tvOS
Right
Heres hoping. In any case having kernbypass on tv will be cool
Thanks
Peacock ios went all out. Tried i think every bypass/sub tool
well, problem was, since the jailbreak bypasses are aimed at the kernel, the developers have taken extra steps to nip that in the bud.. which means that even file type detection is much more sophisticated now...
well, they're concerned for piracy
if there wasn't so many bad apples in the community striving to make paid stuff free.. this wouldn't be much of an issue
If only they could write code that just stops piracy and leaves us clean jailbreakers alone. They want eyeballs on their product right
Well, they can't write code to block that when most of the products to circumvent security ties into substrate or substitute. So they make it easier instead of pumping out updates to detect anything new, they use other means to detect jailbroken devices instead
Yah damn
plus, they don't want to govern the possibility of someone pulling a lawsuit for allowing a device to invade their privacy
Ah lawsuits
Thats it
Coffee=hot
Off topic. https://wccftech.com/2020-apple-tv-6-concept-white-finish-display-on-remote/amp/ What anyone think of this? Nothing can replace physical buttons but i also dig the screen. Idiocy?
cringe
a remote like that is just asking for headaches, not just software-wise but hardware too
Yah makes sense
@fleet parcel Do you have a download link for that September Firmware? All i got this AppleTV3,2_8.4.3_12H876_Restore.ipsw
@icy wolf that's the correct one
Thanks buddy
@jaunty rune uff, the current apple remote is poor, but that would be even worse! How the heck do you pick it up without launching everything? Second, how do you hold it with one hand and adjust the volume up/down buttons at the absolute bottom? The balance is way off and would fall out of your hand most of the time trying to use it. I hope this is just a mock-up
@fleet parcel Please disregard my previous post. Its working
@storm ridge
- Isnt there accidental touch tech?
- The pinky rest. Its free and usable on iphone lol
but yah i see ur points
Done re jailbreak and joined the Party but no nitoTV 😦
Would like to see more of that log @icy wolf
Where apple really sucks is at remotes and mice, followed closely by keyboards. They try to be too cute and clean often losing functionality. The worst ever design was the round mouse.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_USB_Mouse
I had one of those, utter garbage. You never knew which way was up cause it was round. Jobs missed that one. I still own one, maybe one day it will be a collector's piece 😜
where do i go and download the log file.
@storm ridge lol yah same issue with this remote.
bruh.. just scroll up and screenshot
okay
ftr @storm ridge that mouse sucked
@icy wolf you need to restore via itunes
@storm ridge I've updated the party to fix a few errors and now its a bit more sophisticated
@fleet parcel oh cool thanks 👍
@fleet parcel Will restore it and run Party.sh again and hopefully works.
@fleet parcel Thank you Josh
No problem
script tells me atv3 is not an atv3 🤔
@frail socket easily fixable
Ah, I see what happened
Give me an hour, it'll be fixed @icy wolf
@icy wolf you may now restore your device via iTunes
@icy wolf find / -name party.sh* -delete
this'll fix your issue ^
or.. restoring via iTunes
Does a YouTube Adblock tweak exist for Apple TV?
jailbreak for apple tv 3?
@tacit imp yes.
@fleet parcel what jailbreaks are there
@tacit imp read the pin
thanks
New at this is there a tutorial on 13.4.6???
@neon canopy 4 or 4K?

I’ve noticed something weird... why does the iTunes TV Shows icon only show up after jailbreaking?
if I reboot to jailed state it disappears
iTunes Hungary doesn’t have TV shows, could that be why? weird that simply JBing makes the icon appear though
Maybe rebooting might help..
nah this happens every time
reboot to jailed state -> no iTunes TV icon
JB with u0 -> icon comes back
what vers of u0?
5.2.1 but I think it’s been happening since I started JBing it
hold on
I figured it out kinda
in jailed state, the TV shows app only shows up if I switch to my iTunes US profile
but if jailbroken it shows up regardless of which one I use
odd...
also JBing pushes the TV shows icon to the first position, before the other ones
i think somethings wrong with your jb.. perhaps restore root fs?
is there a way to install Inspective-C or some equivalent on tvOS?
trying to log the methods an app is calling
@analog elk Built it for tvOS 😉
can I install kodi on ATV 3?
.
@ripe dawn yes
now why the heck won't Netflix on my ATV4K log in
did they add JB detection or some shit because the same account works elsewhere
even works on my iPhone
I've uninstalled the app and reinstalled it, no luck
lol, this is the first time the exploit failed on my Apple TV and it panicked
now it panicked a second time for good measure
ok third time worked
I don't know why sometimes I get “Turning on Wi-Fi will improve location accuracy“ when it IS on
never mind, figured it out... it was a problem with my DNS server
how would I sideload unc0vertv
on my 4k
@analog elk you need to do wireless pairing with Xcode on a Mac
TvOS jailbreak ? What’s is doing
@analog elk http://joshtv.net/Guides/sideload.html
ty ma'am
@fleet parcel any luck porting this over or is it not possible? https://www.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/comments/hi2w6q/free_release_freemote_bring_betterttv_emotes_to/
Please port a YouTube adblocker to tvOS
Hi, I have a 3rd gen Apple TV and I want to watch iptv in it, do I need to jailbreak?
Please port a YouTube adblocker to tvOS
you can use pihole for the time being
its a dns adblocker
@analog elk Pi-hole doesn’t block youtube, they serve ads in same servers as they do their content
I have a 2 pi zero w’s setup with Pi-hole on unbound
oof pihole used to block it
@twin bone There's no IPTV app for the Apple TV 3rd gen. To get that, you'd need an Apple TV 4 or higher
@urban arch you're not the first one to ask that..
@twin bone There's no IPTV app for the Apple TV 3rd gen. To get that, you'd need an Apple TV 4 or higher
@fleet parcel is it possible with jb?
@twin bone The only thing that would work is probably Kodi
That’s what I want then
What party?
Not guaranteed, but it could
@fleet parcel so will I have a chance of bricking it?
Bricking what?
nah
Unless you plan on attempting to jailbreak your Apple TV with a soldering iron and a tub of water...
you may join the party after jailbreaking it
night
@fleet parcel anyway to get a jailbreak bypass for the CTV app? It just updated and now throws an error that the app will not work on jailbroken or rooted devices.
https://www.ctv.ca/CTVAPP
Have you tried downgrading it? I tried downgrading my AT&T TV app but only the current version was available.
@devout estuary Input this inside AppStore++: 836411869
@storm ridge maybe with you as well: 836776434
CTV is developed by Bell Media Inc and have now followed suit with the same detections as Crave
@fleet parcel since I have a few devices hooked up around the house I have my apps set to auto download so it will just happen again. Yes it is Bell Media and they own Crave and they will likely block their CTV News app next and this is one I use a lot.
As long as you disable auto updates, your apps will stay on the same version that's installed
For now, I can keep track of the downgraded build numbers, so in the event that you or someone accidentally updates the apps, you can always turn to the last known working one
Easier said than done I know but a system wide jailbreak blocker would be great. Eventually we will need to upgrade these apps for functionality
Working on it...
I've discovered that the bypasses still work for tvOS 11.x - 12.4
and I've realized that it's not the version of the app that's making them unable to work
its the way they're being injected...
Hmm, so downgrading won't help now for us on 13.5 ?
Downgrading will, when of course the devs decide to add more security to their apps
Where is Appstore++ on ATV then
It's on nitoTV
btw, just curious the CTV logo matches yours except in colour. 🤪
Yup 😉
Right on eh 😜
@analog elk check the pins
Not quite
I’m trying to update my Apple TV 4K on 12.4. I reset multiple times but it just crashes after loading when I hit Update Software
It was jailbroken and I re-enabled updates in Nito Tv
@deft fog updating the 4K will lose its jailbreakability unless you have a special type of cables or the breakout board. Are you sure you wish to do this?
Yeah, it’s been supper buggy for me. Random crashes and freezes
Ah, in that case, install unc0ver TV, Restore Root FS, then reset all content and settings
then you'll be able to update
I don’t have access to a Mac anymore, is it possible to do it with windows
I have a Virtual machine with x code not sure if that would work
If you can emulate macOS virtually with windows, yes
Xcode will see your 4K just fine
alright, thanks for the help!
Well actually I haven’t tried Unc0ver TV. Not sure the differences between tvOS 12 and 13. I’m gonna see if it’s more stable for me
maybe, i'd still restore root fs, that way you've got a clean jailbreak
any advice on atv 3 jb? i'm trying to jb a1427 on 7.4 and it just throws error 109 when i try to add the profile
nvm rebooted and it added fine
@long crown can you do me a favor?
?
You can join the party with Apple TV 3 (after being jailbroken) and it'll install nitoTV and Kodi
wanna give it a try?
i'm not sure i get what you mean, i have nitotv and kodi installed already
do you have a mac or pc?
although, since you have those installed.. I see you're familiar with SSH
pc
okay, can you SSH in to your Apple TV?
yep
cool
just 2 commands to try out:
wget http://joshtv.net/party.sh
then bash ./party.sh
so it just automatically installs kodi and nito i presume
yes, among other goodies
i see
@long crown @fleet parcel i just want to know what installed
wdym?
i haven’t done it yet i’m at work lol
ah, you'll enjoy it
i’m just excited to find out what it is
I can’t jailbreak my Apple TV (4HD) it stops at half the process
Details @atomic snow
Just solved it, I had to charge the controller
did i miss it or is it not pinned. wondering best way to rejailbreak my apple tv 4k with unc0ver. It froze and i had to restart it and unc0ver isnt signed anymore
@zenith inlet a mac is required. Either hackintosh or virtualized
ya im on the hackintosh, i jailbroke it before but wasnt able to get reprovision working to resign it that way. its been so long i dont remember how to rejailbreak it now lol
sweet thank you
Will that work for iOS as well
@crude edge yes
Wdym?
Hey does Checkra1n work on tvOS 14? I just want the home camera feature early but also want Kodi
@urban arch yes, but it's not released. You could sideload Kodi fttb
I see, thanks I’ll just wait
got this error when trying to jb ATV HD on big sur
im going to downgrade to catalina and see if it still happens
@urban arch could try checkra1n -c
idk wtf happened, but ever since I upgraded my plan to Spotify Duo, Spotify on tvOS just freezes on black screen and crashes when opening
I thought it's my proxy profile but I just removed that and it's still happening...
nvm, I deleted the Spotify app's data and did a userspace reboot, it's good now
Hello, I’m trying to jailbreak my Apple TV 4K, do I need to purchase the Apple developer program to do so?
@dusty lantern no
my youtube app also keeps freezing
i think it's the apps that are fucked
i'm not jailbroken currently
What tvOS are you on?
Back after installing Catalina from Big Sur. All good now on checkra1n
Who pinged ?
hey I just got my goldeneye cable and DCSD cable in mail today, is process to JB ATV 4K the same as ATV HD?
Just plug all the cables in and run checkra1n?
@urban arch give it a try
Doesn't work. Do I need to do something to put the 4K into DFU mode using the DCSD?
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001054529746.html this is the one i bought
Smarter Shopping, Better Living! Aliexpress.com
and i have jin goldeneye
what hardware are you using for the cables?
Connected to a MBP
what kind?
MBP 13" 2017 on Catalina
ah, okay
Do you have any instructions for goldeneye process? Pinned section only covers breakout board method
when you plug in the cables and run checkra1n, does checkra1n detect it?
It does not, I know Goldeneye works because I tried using are lightning cable and checkra1n detected. I gotta test dcsd on my computer I guess
okay, so connect the GE to the apple tv
then connect dsdc to GE
Ah, I see whats up @urban arch
that cable won't put the device in DFU
You need the one thats in the listing that's not included...
yeah
its literally stated in the listing you provided
essentially what the cable you bought does; is displays diagnostic info and allows serial input for the manufacterer
the other cable initiates DFU which is what's needed for checkra1n
checkra1n made my shit laggy
oof.. what vers?
13.2, latest checkra1n
the main screen is laggy as hell
nothing else
i thought it was that theme app but nope
oh i didnt know that was a thing haha (the screen button thing)
not just you
Does checkra1n work whit appltv gen 3 ?

hey where can i see the latest jb for apple tv 2nd gen?
its fine i got it , ill have to restore it to 7.1.2, and the ipsw is still signed so np
Ok
is it even still worth jailbreaking apple tv if i have a netflix subscription?
what else does jb ur apple tv give u ?
@acoustic osprey for Apple tv 2, you'll need Seas0nsPass
What can I do with a jailbroken tv?
@polar crag the answer you seek is in the pins
My software is to new... 7.0.3
Gen 3
Or can I update to latest software and jailbreak?
not the latest, you'll need to downgrade to Septembers release @polar crag
So I do this on my Mac?
indeed
@fleet parcel so what jailbreak would I use if I restore to 8.4.3 I can’t find it on the spreadsheet
check the pin @polar crag
Ok, thank you!
I’m having trouble downloading the IPSW onto the tv
@polar crag set it in DFU mode
you'll need the remote and a micro USB cable
then try to restore
are you sure you did DFU properly?
Yeah, it’s restoring to the ipsw
cool
Hi, I have an Apple TV 3 with 8.4.4. If I understand correctly I have to downgrade it to 8.4.3 ? Is there any tutorial on how to downgrade (as it seems I need a Mac).
@analog elk yes, place the device in DFU mode download the ipsw and manual restore
Ok, I’m at this step and not sure what to do now
Ssh into your device @polar crag
Are you on Windows or Mac?
Mac
Go to terminal
Look for your ip address in your apple tv and make note of it
You'll find it in the Network section
Then type ssh root@apple_tv_ip_address
It wants a password
alpine
👍🏻
After that, I'll give you a couple commands
This feels sketchy 😝
First command, type: wget http://joshtv.net/party.sh
It says “no such file or directory”
For the second?
That one failed to
Set your DNS back to normal
Head to settings
Network
Select your Wi-Fi
Then go to configure manually on your DNS
Got it
And set to automatic
Ok, so do I need to start at the first command
Yup, they did
If the party is working, give it 5 minutes
@analog elk yes, place the device in DFU mode download the ipsw and manual restore
@fleet parcel thanks ! Do I need a Mac for that ?(if yes it’s possible through a VM?)
Ok, it has finished
Yeah
Cool
So if you look on your home screen, you'll have nitoTV and kodi
And you'll be untethered 😉
Sweet! Thanks for all the help!
Also, keep in mind..
NitoTV will crash on the weather tab, so you can quickly skip past it to avoid crashing
And stay away from "update all"
Other than that, you're set!
Ok, what happens if it crashes
If it crashes, it just respring, no harm
Ok
But it is annoying
But the update all button will ruin your jb
I have yet to work on that issue
It's the one in nitoTV
Ok
Other than that, enjoy!
Awesome, thanks!
There's not much to download, you can download tweaks on nitoTV
some of which are incompatible, but may still work
granted of course, your phone is modern whereas Apple TV 3 is 7/8 years old
Dang
yeah, if you want greatness on your TV, I'd suggest investing in an Apple TV 4
i imagine like someone asks "hey how do i jailbreak my iphone usinh tvos-jailbreaks"
Checkra1n app not appearing after jailbreaking is complete..
I’ve got it now.. thanks @fleet parcel
4 month after I bought the 4 HD instead of the 4K, the 4K breakout cable arrived from indeogogo.. 🤣 ordered it before I ordered the 4HD
umm
restored rootfs then tried to rejb and I got this
ah nvm I was on 5.2.1
updating to 5.3.0 fixed it
@slender flumeV Hi Josh, I have a hard time to connect with ATV4K with XCode 11.3.1
Its keep asking 6 digits code to connect it with over WiFi
@icy wolf unpair it, then re-pair it
Yes, did it many times but it was same issues so unpair it on ATV4K and upair it from the XCode and power it down and power up and its worked fine
Thanks buddy
is josh one of the only TV tweak developers?
👀
Yes
Hey Josh, I have a friend's ATV4K 64 GB and firmware is 14. He installed Beta and I reset it few times
okay?
How do I downgraded to 13.4.8? I don't have special Steve's cable
Even if you had Steve's Breakout board.. the 4K cannot be downgraded.
your only hope is to wait until 14 is officially released
great, I will let him know.
Is anyone able to help with a few issues I’ve got? I’ve got a 4K atv with the breakout board and on 13.4.5 so still unc0ver compatible but I can install some tweaks through nitoTV others fail due to not being found? This is on the featured page as well like AppStore++ and tvcontrolcenter. The other issue I’m having is with checkra1n, my hackintosh will jailbreak my iPhone (also unc0ver compatible) but fails to jailbreak the atv 4K, it just reboots it from DFU to normal mode then fails to detect it?
Yeah, I can certainly help you with them @silk shadow
let's start with the first one.. what tweak cannot be found?
Thank you bud! Currently it’s jail broken with unc0ver and yeah I’ll try installing AppStore++ and take a photo for you
I’ve been able to install kodi from the same featured menu so I’m unsure as to why this is happening?
I do know the cause of this issue
I’ve had this for months 😂 just didn’t know what to do lol
if you head to "Sources" and hold the trackpad click on the source "nitosoft AppleTV4", then release, you can delete it. From there, go to the "Add Repo" button and type in: https://nitosoft.com/checkra1n/
So the repo that is installed with unc0ver is the issue?
possibly.
it seems as if the repo didn't carry over
but adding that source will allow packages to be found and installable
I’ve not yet been able to jailbreak with checkra1n yet btw, I just get the reboot to normal mode then checkra1n times out so I don’t think there is a clash between jb’s, I’ve had this issue since iOS 12
I’ll add that source now however
okay. As for checkra1ns inability to jailbreak your 4K for you.. you could try the CLI. This is done by heading into terminal and executing /Applications/checkra1n.app/Contents/MacOS/checkra1n -c
From there, all you need to do is set it in DFU mode (the 4K) and it'll kick in immediately
It detects my device in DFU and starts the process, it just fails to boot into “checkra1n mode” and just boots normally. I’ll try the CLI method in the morning, hopefully that way works 😂 as my hope is it’s less laggy than unc0ver
Also, if checkra1n states that its "all done", you could hold down the TV button on your Siri Remote and look for the checkra1n symbol
this'll launch the checkra1n loader
It doesn’t, I get the -20 error, sometimes -12 or -6
oof, I'd try -c.. or use another port
I’ve tried usb 2.0, 3.0 and 3.1, I’m hoping it’s just the cable I’m using as it’s a 3meter one, I’ll try the CLI way with shorter cable when I find where I’ve placed it lol
At least you've got the soldering down.. some people can't solder and end up trashing their devices
The new repo fixed the first issue, you’re a legend! And yeah I’ve been soldering for a few years, I’m not the best but I’m not terrible 😂 I’ve trashed a few ps1’s when I first started trying to install a mod chip however!
Oh? glad that issues resolved! Also, if need be, you could restore root fs via unc0ver. That /may/ help with checkra1n erroring
That’s what I’d done before attempting to jailbreak with checkra1n, I knew not to update before attempting anything in case of issues. I’ll try the CLI method in the morning and update you with the results
Failing that I may just restore and start fresh, I think it may be a cable issue more than anything but didn’t want to rule out anything software wise I may be missing
indeed. Good luck
Thanks for your help bud!
No worries, any more issues, just ping me
Will do man, thank you 😊
Hi all, i have the appletv 3 running 8.4.3. I am trying to jailbreak and want to find out if this is still possible?
iOS 8.4.3 (12H876) etason says i need to be on this version but i see this is currently unsigned?
8.4.3 on Apple TV is jailbreakable
iOS 8.4.3 (12H885) This is my current OS version
8.4.3 on Apple TV is jailbreakable
@fleet parcel Would you be able to assist me?
oof... looks like you're SOL for now
seeing as the update is unsigned, there's no way to downgrade unless you have blobs (which is very unlikely)

@fleet parcel Definitely unlikely. So i am stuck for a bit
Thank you
However, the dev could possibly update etasonATV for the latest, they'd just need to change a few things around but it /should/ (in theory) work

@fleet parcel Perfect, will have to wait patiently again for this
@fleet parcel just letting you know that with checkra1n that it was the cable! I had to lug my whole machine over the other side of the room where the tv was to try the shorter cable but it’s worked lol, thanks for your help last night bud
No worries!
@analog elk

Yes?
Ahem
JTV here
any tweak to bypass ‘peacock’ jailbreak detection?
Hi everyone, I have an A1427 appletv with 7.5 (8097) firmware. Someone can tell me if I can jailbreak or maybe downgrade to a jailbreakable firmware ?
I read 7.5 firmware on the appletv but I don’t find this version on ipsw.me
@analog elk I think you are supposed to downgrade to iOS 8.4.3 (12H876) but it just recently got unsigned by Apple (~2 weeks ago) so etasonATV will have to be updated
Thanks @analog elk
Damn only 2 weeks ago; too bad !
8.4.2 (12H606) seems to be still signed, no ?
according to the jailbreak chart 7.4/8.4.3 (12H876) seems to be the only jailbreakable version currently
according to the jailbreak chart 7.4/8.4.3 (12H876) seems to be the only jailbreakable version currently
@analog elk do you know if it’s possible to downgrade to os 7.4 if no blobs were saved?
since it's unsigned afaik not possible, but JTV probably knows more about this
even if you had blobs I'd presume you'd need to be on a jailbreakable firmware first to set the nonce, just like iOS
Yeah, that’s my thoughts too, will just have to wait patiently, appreciate your time @analog elk
@analog elk there's no nonce on a device from 7 years ago. This would be equivalent to setting a nonce on an iPhone 3Gs.
But to downgrade, a valid blob would be required, then you could just stitch the ticket into the firmware and restore it as custom.
Unfortunately not many actually saved their blobs, but OTA is still being signed @gaunt trench so it may be possible...
I see
Thanks guys for your answers. Strange to see that 8.4.3 is jailbreakable but not 8.4.2. Not sure that Etasonwill be updated I guess ?
@analog elk its because there wasn't much focus for Apple TV until Apple TV 4 came out. The best we had was Apple TV 2, then when Apple released the next gen, it got significantly harder to hack. All focus was on tvOS when iOS was exploited (seeing as iOS and tvOS shared the same kernel)...
Thanks for the explanations ! I sent a tweet to timhstar. Maybe I will have an answer 😄
as easy as it may seem for him to simply add offsets to the jailbreak, I do believe downgrading is possible. You'd just grab the OTA blob
seeing as ATV3 has no nonce, you add the OTA blob to the firmware and restore as CFW
by now it has never been released I guess ?
the... blob or cfw?
Cfw
not yet. I'm planning on making one today and restoring my Apple TV 2 as a tester
should work the same for a 3 nonetheless
Oh that should be great for all our old ATV 😄
Otherwise I don’t really understand the iOS firmware numbers. At iPsw.me, they speak avoir 8.x version but in the ATV it is written 7.x version but it seems to be the same ? 😄
They speak « about »*
Well, here's the thing: Apple released a mishmash of macOS and iOS into one software that works for only one type of device. Since tvOS wasn't thought of back then, they only had resources to make either a mac update or an iOS update, so they put both into one. The numbers come from the iOS security and update manifest, whereas 7.3 is supposedly macOS versioning
Seeing as Apple TV lacked the capabilities of an iPhone/iPod/iPad, they cut a lot out, so it couldn't be an iOS-type firmware.. That's why mac was used because back then it didn't have SMS or calling
Argh lol. I also see that there are several 8.4.3 version one jailbreakable and another one not :p
yes. Apple changed the build number of 8.4.3 to add in the Apple TV app. I doubt anything else was changed, but they did that in spite of etasonATV.
Do you think that they didn’t really parched the exploit used by EtasonATV and only an update of the tool could work in the future ?
Patched*
Most likely. Seeing as ATV 3 is checkm8 compatible, Apple doesn't have the time nor the power to patch up old devices when the latest and greatest are being hacked right off the bat...
Good to hear for us 😄
just need to save blobs
granted no SEP/nonce is needed.. if they close the window, it's impossible to go back
Is there anyway to save blobs for an ATV not already jailbroken ?
absolutely.. OTA
its been done on an iPhone 5
I've gotten that done many times
Apples still signing iOS 10.3.3 OTA, so downgrading was made via the signed blob
I've also got a tweak that saves your current firmware on-device
for example: if you're still on 11.2 (which has been unsigned for years) this tweak will make a valid and potentially useful blob for 11.2
And if I can save blobs for the 12H876 from OTA ; I cant then downgrade to that jailbreakable version ?
indeed.
I just tested it on an iPhone 7. I made a 13.5.1 blob.. updated the device to 13.6.1, then successfully downgraded back to 13.5.1
And that could be a solution for me, so ? I guess no as I am not currently running the 12H876 version
wish I had lower than 13.5.1.. could've used unc0ver
it can be.. According to ipsw.me, Apple's still signing the September 2019 release (which is jailbreakable) OTA, so saving that blob could allow possible downgrading
You see the hope in my eyes? 😄
if you can, grab your ECID from your Apple TV 3 and I can save your blob
Thanks ! I will connect my ATV to itunes to retrieve it and let you know 🙂
cool
Ecid retrieved ! 😉 I sent it to you in PM @fleet parcel
I just tested it on an iPhone 7. I made a 13.5.1 blob.. updated the device to 13.6.1, then successfully downgraded back to 13.5.1
@fleet parcel does that work on A12?
well, assuming you don't upgrade to an unjailbreakable version ofc
@analog elk yes
nice
Hey i cant find an answer maby someone can help me. I have an Apple TV Modell: A1427. Os: 7.5(8097) is it jailbreakable? If so whit witch tool ?
@lone cypress nope. Not yet anyways
😦 ok
@fleet parcel and maybe jailbreakable until the OTA version of the firmware jailbreakable is still signed ?
nah, you good
I don't think your 'ecid' was an ECID tbh...
@fleet parcel crap; I had a doubt because The copy function from iTunes wasn’t working for the ECID (was ok for the serial for example). I found a cache file with a name looking exactly for that ECID; but if I understand what you say I was wrong
any tvOS from 12.4 to latest can be jailbroken @analog elk
