#tvos-jailbreaks
1 messages Ā· Page 42 of 1
okay, im guessing i can use unc0ver TV
will read about it now
It seems that not the whole numbers are visible on itunes
Unc0ver TV only works with 13.4.5 and lower
if you have blobs @analog elk, you could downgrade...
Hi I have a atv3 which is jailbroken..is there any thing I can use it with what app
ah, cool
ugh I got a apple tv and wanted to jailbreak it with checkra1n but it keeps erroring out
Whatās that?
Ooohw oki Iāll try!
Same result....ffs
Iām kinda reviving my@old iMac so Iāll try that next
I have the feeling I messed up what you guys said though
Try another port
Im@gone head to bed but Iām gone try that tomorrow!
What does the -c argument do though?
Oohw okay
Wait what?!
Please donāt....
Im@gone try some more tomorrow and on the iMac, hopefully Iāll get it working
I'm on unc0ver 13.4.5 for Apple TV 4K, want to switch to checkra1n. Do I have to restore rootfs before switching over?
yes
how do I get my 4K into DFU mode? I couldn't find a guide in the pins
I tried Apple TV 4K>golden eye>DCSD>mac but nothing is detected
lights turn on the gray DCSD box section of the cable
@urban arch have you tried rebooting?
@fleet parcel hey I just tried to reboot. It goes straight to normal booting, here are my cables
checkra1n isnt detecting the device, but i can see that it's plugged in here
do i need additional software for the DCSD cable?
Nope, my mac does but not checkra1n itself
Because plugging your device in to checkra1n should at least say "normal mode"
MBP 2017 13" im on latest catalina
what kind of adapter? im using an adapter for the regular usb to usb c to plug into my laptop
i've used checkra1n fine on my other apple tv 4th gen
i just tried using the DCSD cable with my adapter on my Xs Max and that shows on my checkra1n
I believe 2017s use usb c connections?
yes, so i got the old usb to usb c adapter
that pic is using an adapter too, that silver thing
Ah, it may work.. Apple's cables are finicky with the newer Macs
@fleet parcel I just tried these cables with a macbook air (2013 I think) still doesnt detect the apple tv but i can detect a Xs max, ipad pro 10.5 with the DCSD cable
Odd...
You need to place the device in recovery mode @urban arch
Once done, it asks you if you'd like to use DFU
Press and hold menu and play/pause
That works for the apple tv 4k?
Yes
Okay will try again, let me type out the steps imma do as a sanity check
Holding those two buttons forces the Apple TV to reboot
plug golden eye with lightning and plug into my mac and my apple tv 4K, enter recovery mode via checkra1n. swap lightning cable with DCSD and it should go into DFU?
But with that dscd cable, it'll rout it to dfu
No
Plug in goldeneye
Plug dcsd into goldeneye and hook it to your Mac
Press and hold menu and play/pause and wait for Apple tv to rapidly blink
Then release buttons
Did you get it @urban arch?
just tried it and it rebooted into normal mode... I can't even get checkra1n to push the device into recovery because it isnt detected
im on latest checkra1n
Try just using dscd
no golden eye? I can't connect to apple tv 4k with just DCSD
Do you have a lightning cable connected into goldeneye?
not right now, but i can
one sec
thanks for helping btw
golden eye with regular lighting cable connected now
@fleet parcel
Ah, what'd you do different?
golden eye to regular lightning cable works, but golden eye + DCSD to laptop doesnt show in checkra1n
im thinking it's the cable, but this exactly cable works for my xs max and ipad pro
If you start the process as usual in checkra1n, it'll place it in dfu automatically
It starts with recovery, then once in recovery, dscd will kick in DFU
Although.. 13.4.5, you could use unc0ver too...
i know, i want to jump to checkra1n in case tvos 14 checkra1n works
Ah ok, so go ahead and get checkra1n to place it in recovery
i can only do this with regular lightning cable and golden eye, gonna try now and swap to dcsd after
Ok
I did that process a long time ago and forgot some of the steps i did to get it to work..
i see the usb plugged in and everything but checkra1n isnt picking it up
maybe it's a catalina thing idk
I give up for now, just gonna make a thread on reddit and see for other ideas
Try this: plug in the goldeneye and lightning cable
Let checkra1n pick it up in normal
Press start, then when it tells you to proceed, add the dscd cable and checkra1n would trigger recovery
@urban arch
i got it to work, so i've been plugging it wrong the whole time
someone on twitter told me
flip lightning plug from dcsd into goldeneye
and it finally showed up on checkra1n
but now i have this issue
@fleet parcel
Reboot, try it again
im so annoyed that all i had to do was flip the lightning connection
Lightning is annoying
I have to do that just to charge
But yeah @urban arch reboot the Apple TV, then retry checkra1n. No need to close checkra1n
I fixed that problem. I had SIP turned off (because i was doing altstore on big sur), but im back on catalina so i turned it back on and no issues
@fleet parcel Any idea how to get past this?
My ATV4 was rebooted. Unc0ver 5.1.0 b2 was still signed from reprovision so I ran it and got this error about extracting an archive.
Un0ver doesn't open again after this happens until the ATV is rebooted.
I updated unc0ver to 5.3.0 with xcode but still get the same error.
I've restarted the ATV a few times but it didn't help.
ATV4(HD), tvOS 13.4.5
@frigid moat Restore RootFS, reboot, re-jb
ā¤ļø
For tvOS what tweak I can get for the last version
Does not have a lot of Cydia Tweaks
@plush cedar wdym?
Most tweaks do @lyric crest
I got my jb working, finally. does anyone know a easy way to install ipa's?
@real valley ReProvision, or via Xcode wireless pairing with a Mac
how would I install an ipa with Reprovision?
why isn't there actually any easier way to installipa's on a jailbroken apple tv
@real valley airdrop
Ooohw okay
Iām using a Mac that was made before airdrop....so that isnāt a option
Damnit
No iphone? Yah then xcode
Can you also airdrop it with an iPhone to the Apple TV, I do have an iPhone 11 so I could try that
Should pop up in reprovision and click install
Might not be a compatible ipa
Weird...
It doesnāt show anything in the airdrop logs so Iām guessing itās soemthing els
Someone with more knowledge might be able to help. All else fails try xcode
Now@it doesnāt even see my Apple TV anymore so weird
@real valley restart sharingd inside Settings
Which version of reprovision from which repo should I be on?
I was getting Xcode 7.6 error after a fresh install.
I then ran an update and now it crashes when trying to resign.
Currently on 0.5.1~Release.
do you have 2fa?
no, not on the account i'm using for that device at least
I logged out, signed in again. That worked fine.
It just doesn't sign š¤
how did you install it?
Searched for available packages in nito after a pretty fresh install
Installed the only package I could see labelled reprovision
I haven't added any 3rd party sources since restoring rootfs & re-jailbreaking
Signed out, then in again.
Crashing stopped but now I'm getting this:
Getprovisioningprofileforappid: āYour team has no devices for which to generate a provisioning profile.ā
š¤
Revoked everything and tried again but I still get the same error
Do it have any source for Apple TV to get free games
Do you have xcode @frigid moat?
@fleet parcel Yeah I have xcode. Running on catalina.
It started working after I closed xcode on the machine I used to sign uncover, revoked all certificates, and then ran resign from reprovision.
ah
I haven't seen that error before. Pretty sure I've resigned with xcode open before i updated to catalina š¤
been too busy updating theiphonewiki
Anyone got some cool themes for tvOS?
Dark neon with snowytv to kick it up a notch @analog elk
ohhh damn!
i like that! haha
also! any good repos out there? or still just stock ones still cause no one devs for apple tv still lol?
Hey I just downloaded my first tweak app (snowboardtv) and dark neon and got it going but after respring can anyone tell me why the Apple TV is quite laggy?
@analog elk SnowBoardTV has yet to be optimized for the latest version of tvOS. Until SparkDev gives me an updated build, it'll remain with some bugs and the lagg that you (among lots of others) also experience...
Oh okie š thanks for the heads up!
hi anyone know Jin_Store on twitter, is it a "real" shop
From what I've seen he looks legit.
@finite leaf it is
thx
Erm, does jailbreaking (and using the relevant tweaks) help with forcing the Apple TV 4K to stay in SDR?
I need it to remain in SDR but my capture card is forcing it back to HDR
@small flower you can try turning on/off a few settings
like match content - OFF
then set SDR - 4K on
I tried that, somehow the screen will flash and then return back to 4K HDR
Ok this is very bizarre cos it just allowed me to go to 4K SDR
Somehow this time round I can stay in 4K SDR without being booted out to 4K HDR
what tvOS are you on?
Trying to load TVControlCenter onto my 4k, keeps saying package is not available. Recently reset and jailbroke on u0, any ideas why it's not showing in any Source even though it's on the main Nito screen?
Is there any tvOS jailbreaks that support the 2nd generation running tvOS 6.3.? (I have to check to know exactly what OS it is running)
@devout estuary yeah, check your sources. Delete the old nitoTV one and add https://nitosoft.com/checkra1n
@analog elk yes, check the pin
JTV thanks, got it going. Should I update the repo on the other atvās?
What jb do the other ones have?
quick question: I got an Apple TV 4K. Can I jailbreak it without a mac?
I mean I do have a mac... that runs fucking Lion
@raven sluice VM with an OSX guest works, as long as the 4k is on a vulnerable version of tvOS.
JTV all on u0
Don't you kind of need to already have a mac to get a macOS VM?
@raven sluice nah it's just easier to emulate mac on a mac.
i think i have a bootable Mojave USB stick
Are you able to update your current mac to Yosemite or el capitan?
Oof.. Yeah, I'd use a VM
I could get ElCap working if I got over 12GB of DDR2 ECC RAM...
It's slow, but if you can get at least high Sierra, you're good
It's funny, because I got the AppleTV just after I sold my Macbook
it was a really badly timed gift
i heard there's a kit to add it back
JTV all on u0
@devout estuary yes. Update the repo on them too
There is, there's also a couple of cables you can purchase too.. But they're expensive
I wanted to get just the pads of where I need to solder
but nO
can't have that leaking out
i'll stop now before I rage into a ban
Do you know what tvOS the 4k is on?
11? Very rare
Double check and make sure to turn off your updates
You won't need to modify anything on that firmware
the thing is unpowered until I can jailbreak it
Good
I just disabled autoupdates in some menu, downloaded some apps, realized that the remote sucks for gaming, powered it off
But yeah, if you're on 11.. You can sideload with the mac and jailbreak semi untethered
The jailbreak you'd use is Electra
Isn't there an untethered jailbreak?
I could just sell it. But it's a gift and I'll feel like shit for selling a gift so fuck me sideways
What I want to do is turn it into a portable
You sideload it once, jailbreak, then just set the device to sleep
If you want it portable, there is a tweak that can sign your jailbreak without a puter
It does it on-device
And yeah, a USB port would be handy in a portable
Especially if it can use it as storage
Well, hate to say it, but even with USB thats not possible..
for fuck's sake
The port is an input and made only for diagnostics
So how do you deal with storage then?
The idea is emulators on builtin storage and ROMs on external storage... hell, even 64GB sounds tiny for that use
A single PSX game is like 700MB at least
You could mount the device as a local storage, then just connect via server
Might take longer for downloading tho
kind of kills the whole "portable" thing, unless I can finangle something with a pi zero
I'm almost convinced those things can do anything
Well, Apple TV isn't meant to be portable, hence iPad's iPods iPhones etc
exactly why I want to make it portable
It's meant to be a beacon of connectivity to your big screen as well as a source of entertainment for when you just want to settle down
It can be connected to your car.. But it takes a bit of rigging
It's a bit restrictive for my taste, but as I said, precisely why I want to get it portable
I've seen people operate tvOS on the little screen in their car
It's a hassle, to be sure
things.
@worn robin there's plenty of info on the pins
Thanks
I know someone that has a Apple TV in his S65 AMG, he also has audio linked and stuff
My what?
piracy
I donāt get it, what do you mean by that
@brave raven you're mentioning words that are filtered and are deemed unsafe and/or used for theft
So realistically what can you do with a jail broken Apple TV?
theme it
@faint ember that question is in the pins
theme it
@lyric crest muuuch more than that š
oop
Is it worth it to buy an Apple TV? What an I do with it? And by this I mean What does everyone here use their for? Whatās common for people to use, and what do you all like the most about it
@lethal nacelle yes, lots, many things (all different)
The way I look at it is: say I want to do something specific. Is there a device that lets me do that well, at a price that is reasonable to me?
I wouldn't purchase a device then try to find a purpose for it.
So what are you trying to do?
The way I look at it is: Hey! a new device, wonder if it can be hacked and I can use it for anything I desire...
Hey wondering if anyone has a suggestion for me, my 4k got shut off and I need to reinstall unc0ver. How ever it wasnt allowing me to install the created file
I tried to unpair and now I canāt repair any ideas?
you're trying to set up with Xcode again?
Yup
back out of Remotes and Devices, then go back into it
the 4K should appear inside "Devices" on Xcode
In this window ya?
yes
Ya Iāve been on this window for quite a while not showing up š¤
I did that it just lists my iPhones
if you click it, it should display on Xcode, if not, try rebooting the device
Ok Iāll try reboot

Do I need a computer to download Cydia or can I just download it from my phone
wdym?
Is there any jailbreakin I could download without a computer
nah
:K
K
@fleet parcel thanks here I was resetting just the 4k and not the max...... clearly needed to restart the Mac š
I havenāt purchased it yet, I was wondering if it would be worth 40 bucks
wondering if /what/ would be 40 bucks @lethal nacelle
Mines a hackintosh so I thought it was possibly@cuz of that
3rd gens are bad?
not bad, just no jbs
taking a wild guess
Really?
indeed. I'd ask for a model number tho (on the bottom of the device)
but 40 bucks looks like the value of a 3rd gen nowadays
seeing as 2nd would be 10-20
Damn, how much is a 4th normally
Is it the 4K one I keep seeing?
HD huh okay
Hey guys I looked in the pin texts
But I donāt know the main reasons you would want to jailbreak Apple TV
Pros and cons
Hi guys? How can I install an ipa on my Apple TV HD
Question 6: What are the advantages/benefits of a jailbroken Apple TV?
Answer: There's so many. With the freedom to do anything at our fingertips, the possibilities are endless. Tweaks, emulators, multimedia, AirDrop, jailbreak bypassing, code execution... and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
More information can be found here: https://sciencography.tumblr.com/post/187244563802/growup
@tired cipher
Thanks mate
Not very many cons (other than jailbreak detection)..
How do I sign a ipa
If I install a deb for a jailbreak tweak that modifies an app whats the chances it potentially works on my TV too
slim to none @high bear
oof
Hey is the Apple TV 4 updateable to firmware mine is running 11.4.1 right now can I update to 13.4.5
@zenith inlet only if you have blobs, if you donāt then update to 13.4.8 and use checkra1n
Ok thanks
Another question you may know I just signed i to it and now itās doubled on my remote on the phone do you know how to remove
@zenith inlet i believe you can swipe left on the name to remove
@fleet parcel awesome thanks! Will try that when home. Another question my 4k kodi with venom add on isnāt working so I want to completely remove jailbreak and redo is that the guide that is pinned? Says it works for tvos13 does that count 13.x.x versions?
you don't need to completely remove the jailbreak to get a fresh start of Kodi
but if you'd like to start on a clean slate, you may do so here: http://joshtv.net/Guides/unjailbreak
and tvOS 13 counts for any tvOS 13 version
Hey guys
any idea how to sign an ipsw to downgrade my aptv 3.2
im struggling here to downgrde my aptv for the jailbreaking
@forest remnant downgrading what apple tv?
3rd (2013)
mine is currently at 7.5
it seems that the jailbreak will only work for 7.4
i didnt save the SHSH, so i dont know what i should do
there's no possibility.
@fleet parcel thanks for the link whatās the easier way? I tried uninstalling venom and then uninstalling kodi but when I reinstall kodi and reinstall venom I still get an error so I donāt think@itās fully removing
the only way is if tihmstar updates etasonATV
@zenith inlet what error are you getting?
It is possible to get the SHSH on iphone even if you didnt save previously
is it possible to do the same for aptv?
that is what i was trying
but i am damn struggling here
When I open venom it just puts an error in the top right corner it says something like venom error check log
Itās not related to jailbreak itās something with venom and kodi, happened randomly yesterday and hasnāt worked since
@forest remnant it is possible, but seeing as you don't have SHSH saved.. no
@zenith inlet what jailbreak are you using?
@fleet parcel the 4k is using unc0ver
ah, okay, you could restore root fs
Ya thatās what I was going to do start fresh just wanted to make sure I followed the right thing
yeah, restore root fs and you'll be fine
but I'd also reset all content and settings after you restore root fs
sounds good ya i dont have anything on it anyways
so restore root fs, reset all content and i still dont want to update it right? no checkrain for 4k
oh right ya no i dont want that
sweet thanks, picked up a brand new 4 cheap today so wanted to get extra one for the bedroom now fgiguring out what to do with that first
Just make sure you do it in that order
yup just like the phone
Cool
Possibly stupid question.... I have a hdd that has a bunch of movies on it is there a way to stream them through my Apple TV 4K if the hdd is plugged into my pc? Or can I plug the hdd in via USB cable to my Apple TV 4 and watch them?
@zenith inlet you can stream them via Kodi, Plex, VLC or AirDrop
Sweet thanks once i get kodi set up here Iāll give that a go
What jailbreak supports apple tv 3 tvos 7.5
@fleet parcel anyway to downgrade to the unsigned ipsw?
unless you saved blobs...
oof
yo josh
is there a jb yet for atv 4k that doesn't need the breakout box
on tvOS 13
yes
either goldeneye for checkra1n or unc0ver TV for 13.4.5 and lower @livid warren
Does unc0ver TV support Apple TV Software 7.5?
Is there a Jailbreak that supports Apple TV Software 7.5 + Apple TV 3 (2013)
no attb
):
What's the proper way to un-jailbreak an Apple TV 4K running unc0ver on iOS 13?
Gonna gift it to someone, and they don't want to have to deal with JB stuff.
@grizzled gorge restore root fs
@fleet parcel are there any other steps? Like do I need to remove all the tweaks installed first
restore root fs does that
Wonderful, just wanted to double-check. Thanks for your help.
What can jailbreaking a tv do? Is there tweaks
@foggy ember read the pin
@fleet parcel i tweeted the dev of etasonatv and they said maybe to updating it for 7.5
š
Tell 'em I said hi @analog elk
man venom still says error and check log even after a brand new install
Is there a youtube Adblock for atv
No
Is there an app or tweak for doing flex-style overrides on tvOS?
not yet
I'd love me one of those š„°
Any updates on restoring a 4k with a GoldenEye and DCSD cable?
not possible. What seems to be the problem @somber ivy ?
Just curious
are you bootlooped?
With those I'll be able to jailbreak at least
Also I wish checkra1n could snapshot the partitions before jailbreaking to allow a full restore
Any ideas what you need to restore an Apple TV 4k?
In the sense of not leaving trace files behind
it does, but sometimes there's still user files left over
Wish someone could figure out how Apple restores them
Will it show on iTunes with a DCSD and GoldenEye cable?
yes
It'll show up everywhere on the puter, but itunes will error seeing as there's nothing to connect to on their server
Damn
So they must have a special version or tool for restoring the 4k
Can one do a backup with those cables ?
nah, Apple TV doesn't need a backup
But is it possible
sure
I have iMazzing which can modify files on non jailbroken devices to some extent
yeah, that wouldn't work for apple tv
the best you could do is transfer files manually via SCP
In the sense of not leaving trace files behind
@somber ivy itās called an iTunes backup
You can't restore an Apple TV 4k
leftover traces are in /var, which also contains all user data, so you cannot exactly snapshot that and restore it without data loss
oh right ATV4K, I was talking in general
I suppose you could create an APFS snapshot yourself but not sure if you can do that before checkra1n touches the filesystem
Is it possible to downgrade an APPLE TV 3,2 to a jailbreakable firmware?
no
Can a mobileconfig contain an app ipa install?
@somber ivy for what?
00.2-0058
i don't know what that is
Is there a method to update the atv without having to completely redo everything? I mean like tweaks, because I know I can rootfs then update and not have to redo apps
@analog elk well, regardless of what way you do it, the update will restore your file system which includes deleting preferences..
Ah, so thereās basically no way to backup and restore the tweaks, just a bit annoying to have to go through and set everything to download again
there's not much tbh.. The majority of tweaks on tvOS have little to no preferences. You can queue the installations and reinstall by batch that way @analog elk
Are people allowed to ask about popcorn Tv here?
@analog elk pretty sure that's piracy so no
sooryy š¦
quick question
can I use checkra1n for the latest apple tv update?
13.4.8 I believe it's what it is on
@waxen glacier yes.
@fleet parcel Hey Josh.. I need your help signing certificate error after upgrading to Catalina
There is few certificate but there is cannot find to delete
its on my friend's laptop
all those listed certificates are okay, none of those expired
Are there any duplicate certificates? (ones wit the same email?)
Is airplay pip as glorious as i want it to be
Wow you can finally set custom photos for a screen saver on Apple TV
Oh wait you could do it before
I'm just a dumbass
Lol i was about to say im looking forward to not having to look at dtla over and over and over. At least you can change themes now .. and look at those over and over and over
I just have an album of photos
I feel like shortcuts is an underappreciated feature of ios
Specific example you are referring to?
Ah i mean any that you use that are worth noting?
I automated importing of photos from files
Using a share extension
I'm importing photos to an album so I can show them on my TV
I had the app before it was Integrated into iOS
Also if you use handoff audio you get volume control for Apple TV
Well sometimes
iOS 14 you can have a shortcut launch an app on your TV
I wish there was a good remote app for Kodi on iOS
I could just use the web interface
Am I just stupid or is PiP broken on tvOS 14
I swipe up and nothing
The PiP icon never gets highlighted
for YouTube?
No the TV app
YouTube has the stupidest UI on Apple TV
I always end up scrubbing the timeline
I'd wait till 14.2...
Iām already on 14
Got it
Itās not that sensitive
You have to swipe on the whole touch surface
Apple could have forced developers to support PiP with tvOS
Since most use the standard video player apis
thinking about jumping on 14 since thereās no viable tweak :/
@trim wagon wdym?
i don't see any reason to jailbreak on tvos13 :(
dolphinios would be neat but it doesn't seem to be ported to tvos
there's retroarch and provenance
hey trying to jailbreak this apple tv 4, i got the usb c plugged in i open checkra1n and it says its in DFU mode but when i hit start it says error code 26
first after i enter dfu mode and try and run it i get error 31 thought, 26 appears after i reopen checkra1n and try again
apparently it worked..... 5th times the charm, its instlaling.... that command would have gone in terminal o the mac?
so i unplugged it and took it to the other room and plugged in and there was no nito tv, checkra1n doesnt work like unc0ver where you can just jailbreak and rejailbreak for a week? do i have to jailbreak it in the room its staying then?
checkra1n is semi-tethered. There is no sideloadable app, so to get the jailbreak, you'll need to connect a laptop to the device or have a 100ft usb-c cable
@fleet parcel ok ya been a while since i used checkra1n forgot ill have to move the computer then thanks
im having a ton of network problems only on my TV, the internet keeps cutting out and in and I have to restart my TV like once every few days
is there really no way to reset network settings / whatever else
What tvOS/jb @high bear
13.5 unc0ver 4k
its literally only on my TV nothing else on my network disconncets like this
Think it has to do with somehow not detecting 5ghz networks for a bit; if I wait in the network list its not there and i have no internet and after a min or 2 it'll reappear but this happens multiple times a day
yeah this is crazy annoying idk wtf is happening
have you tried rebooting?
yeah i reboot it everytime it dos this and it fixes it
but it gets annoying rebooting it 3x/day
its literally only happening on my appletv so i dont think its a network issue
5.2.1
ah, okay. Restore root fs, re-jb
Can I jailbreak AppleTV 4K tvOS 14? Greetings
Hi guys, in order to jb atv 4K with checkrain, do I need to open the unit? Or using a Mac is enough
You need to mod it
So yeah? Open and solder
Yeah the only option, thing is I need to order the times which will take forever to arrive lol
Well itās worth it if you have the patience and succeed! Haha
i would like to jailbreak my appletv 4k. its on ios 12.3. unc0ver will work for this right?
also, is it possible to get unc0ver on there without buying a signing service
Please be advised
Since checkra1n for tvOS 14 is released, the bootstrap hasn't been updated to work.
What this means is, despite the exploits working, you won't be able to install nitoTV and the repos/tweaks properly.
Until this gets fixed, I highly recommend anyone with an Apple TV 4/4K to stay on 13 until things get fixed. Thank you!
@tacit egret @valid atlas
i sideloaded unc0vertv through a signing service but it says unsupported. i thought 12.3 was supported
@north zinc 12.3 is supported, but using a signing service is considered piracy
And yes, it is entirely possible to sideload a jailbreak to a 4K without such services
@worldly hare also not true, there's cables you can buy
Oh lol
@fleet parcel do you know what version i should download? it says unsupported unc0ver.dev
@north zinc did you download it from unc0ver.dev? or from unc0ver.dev/tvos
unc0ver.dev/tvos. when i go in the site it says tvos not supported
although i just signed 5.3.0 using developer certificate and i think its working
wdym "when i go in the site it says tvos not supported"
i am dyslexic and i read "now available" "not available" that is my bad
maybe lmao
damn it just said something about couldnt get apt repo
idk what happened but i dont see cydia
ok. just retried and got "no error occured device will reboot in jailbroken state"
cool
wait so even when the new update sais supported nito tv isn't working yet?
okay
Old tvOS seems to have had larger fonts
Comparing the music app to home sharing right now
Is it just me or do all the top paid apps on tvOS look like complete garbage or low tier crap
š¤·āāļø
I'm glad I pay apple the $99 to be a developer
Wait is it even possible to MDM an Apple TV?
And install apps remotely (without a Mac)
yes
How?
Also is it even possible to register an Apple TV without connecting to Xcode
Also it seems you need apple configurator
you'll need to pair the Apple TV with a mac
Xcode can do this, as far as any other way, I have yet to see one...
Device Enrollment Program might be a way
meh...
Though that's not an option for anyone that doesn't own a business
Since you need a DUNS number
if someone can reverse Xcode and just launch a signal to the Apple TV with a connection protocol, that would work too
actually; apple tv launches the signal, xcode receives it
One might be able to just tunnel the traffic
Though that would have to be done on a router level
hey guys I was wondering if I can jailbreak my apple tv with my pc it running windows 10
send Apple TV type and tvOS version @prime warren
So the HD version the non 4K?
tvOS 14?
Well I want to use unc0ver
then you'll need a mac or a virtual machine mac
yes, but it only works if you have a paid developer certificate
That dumb
you can thank Apple
Yea
I hate checkra1n because you have to always use your pc when you reboot your device
Checkra1n doesnāt seem to work on my Apple TV HD on tvOS 14
After it jailbreaks it launches the installer after which it takes awhile it just exits and doesnāt show any jailbroken apps etc.
Apple TV 4K? @fleet parcel
I think Iām just going to wait until I get a new hard drive and I will do a vm
What is new anyways on tvOS 14
@prime warren what tvos are you on?
please do so, it will determine if you can use u0 or not
checkra1n 
Well besides that
if you're on 13, no
it can be š
takes time
best I (or another dev) could do is compile a bootstrap for checkra1n
it'll make libhooker work in tvOS
Wait what bootstrap all ready

Whatās the proper way to update tv4 to 14? I was jailbroken and currently not jailbroken as I moved it to another room
@zenith inlet i wouldn't update to 14 yet if you care about jailbreaking..
Ok
Checkra1n is supposed to work on tvos 14 but its not rly work at all
@lethal plume scroll up
@lethal plume scroll up
@fleet parcel sorry, on my phone and didnt wanna scroll thru everything. I see now. ty
yeah my appletv is still losing connection constantly
this is so fucking annoying, it literally does this like 3-4x a day now
never happened on chimera 12.4
started happening right after I switched to unc0ver 13.5
is there no command or anything to just reset the network settings or everything related to the network
@high bear there is, inside nitoTV, head to Settings and restart system services
I did, it says its an LDRestart and again that hardly improved anything
its a pretty persistent issue
but also I had the problem 10 min after whereas a reboot usually fixes the problem for a few hours
hey having issue on checkra1n 0.11.0 on tvos 14 4k, i get a check_snapshot_error_code
i got the checkra1n icon in my CC
no nitotv installed
im using golden eye and dcsd if that makes a difference compared to the breakout board
@urban arch scroll up
WIP, gotcha
@high bear I had connectivity loss on Chimera 12.4 and ran LDRestart to try to fix it. Sometimes that worked but sometimes I played an Apple movie trailer to get connectivity back otherwise reboot and rejailbreak was the only solution. I'm on 13.5 now and for me this problem is 95% gone. Weird you have the opposite.
Is there a way I can jailbreak my Apple TV on windows?
@spice blaze yes
you can
Okay, thanks m8 just gonna go and take one from my closet
what Apple TV is it and what tvOS?
what color is the remote?
I donāt really know yet
ah
i would double check and see if you can find the model number, or turn it on and look at Settings General About
Can you give me the requirements so when I get it I can just check
requirements for what?
Like what version and Apple TV
well, yeah if you can list that info, I can help you with jailbreak options
Most likely appletv 2 or 1 and some version 12-13
it wouldn't be Apple TV 2 or 1 then
Just making sure, I can restore RootFS on apple tv after jailbreaking it with checkra1n right?
yes
Cool
Hey how do I jailbreak Apple TV TvOS 13.4.8
@analog elk checkra1n
@fleet parcel how do I connect my Apple TV to my Mac
via USB-C or pairing with Xcode
I donāt see usb c on Apple TV
ah, I bet its a 4K
Yeah it is
if you have 13.4.8 you'll need to purchase 2 cables or a breakout board
one is called the Goldeneye cable, the other is a dcsd
link to the breakout board is in the pins
either one
the breakout board is a hardware mod
requires solder
the 2 cables are plug and play.. no solder needed
I heard there are Apple TV 4K being bootlooped recently after jailbreaking?
Replying to @small flower from https://canary.discordapp.com/channels/349243932447604736/688125177820610598/759751807470796862
recently? that happened with early versions of unc0verTV for tvOS 13 but I haven't heard of anything recent
Ah thanks I see, cos I backread and saw JTV needing Goldeneye to fix at least 9 of them
I just don't want to be in a similar situation and thought it would be good to ask
Ok, finally back to being jailbroken with u0TV
Feels great at not needing to worry about accidentally updating
š
@fleet parcel your NoReset tweak cant be installed though
working on it š
yeah, somewhat. It'll be fixed later today, I promise
what tvOS are you on?
Need me to change to checkra1n?
Will do, I find tvOS 14 to be underwhelming for my use case
That's why I wanted to jailbreak my ATV today to avoid getting yeeted to 14 accidentally
Hi guys, A couple years ago with your help I was able jb my 4K (ElectraTV on 11.3)
It's been running great since, but was factory reset recently
I jailbroke again & all my jb apps are still there, but now nitotv can't install anything
Hellp AppleTV, I'm goNito. I'll be your new install manager.
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (2: No such file or directory)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
I think I need to completely uninstall and reinstall nitotv manually, as described here: https://www.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/comments/ankjkc/help_how_do_you_remove_electra_tv_from_apple_tv_4k/eg7w6q6/
Would a dev please confirm? I don't want to risk bricking the 4K since I can't easily restore it.
ok that's great to hear
I was hesitant to follow that guide so I haven't run any scripts yet š
Yes I do
Excellent
if you go to http://unc0ver.dev/tvos and download the latest Unc0ver TV, you can sideload it to your 4K
from there, you can Restore Root FS
what this does is, unjailbreaks your device
from there, you can install unc0ver TV and become jailbroken again!
wow that actually crossed my mind, restoring rootfs from unc0ver
I didn't think it'd be possible since I'm coming from Electra, but glad to know that it is!
thanks @fleet parcel! I'll try it right now
ok, I sideloaded unc0verTV 5.3.0 onto my 4K
Now head back to to the main screen
alright š¤
u0 will then verify and remove all jailbroken packages
says jailbreaking
Purging software updates 17/31 is taking a while
done

so when I clicked view log it takes me back to the main screen where the log says:

and that's where it stopped
ok I'll try again
I'm getting the same error when I tried again
and it's at the exact same spot as above
I already rebooted the device, sorry
so I'll just have to do it again unjailbroken
ok now I clicked Restore RootFS, it says
The system needs to reboot to finish the jailbreak process. When your device reboots, re-run the jailbreak to complete the process.```
if it's not rebooting on its own, should I unplug it?
i wouldn't unplug
just go to settings and hit Reboot
Settings System Restart
make sure you don't touch "Reset" š
oh yeah, lol I almost forgot there's a restart option there
rebooted, all jb app on the homescreen have blank icons now
I started unc0ver and I had to reenable Restore RootFS in Settings
clicking Restore RootFS now
okay
and it says this again
The system needs to reboot to finish the jailbreak process. When your device reboots, re-run the jailbreak to complete the process.```
good
now, you're back in motion again
just proceed to jailbreak normally
and everything will be done
I clicked OK, it exited unc0ver & took me back to the home screen
it's not restarting on its own
so I guess I'll restart it manually again?
ah gotcha ok
alright, so I'm back here https://discordapp.com/channels/349243932447604736/688125177820610598/759858444496142346
did I understand you said to proceed to jailbreak normally?
so not Restore RootFS?
okay
are you able to SSH in?
yes, jailbreak normally, not restore root fs
you probably just rebooted
yeah since I just restarted now,
I'll jailbreak normally (using unc0ver) first and then check if I can SSH in.
but you should still just jailbreak and it'll re-install everything
if u0 gives you errors, just keep retrying it (re-jailbreaking) and if the app doesn't launch, reboot manually, then re-jailbreak again
wait sorry you don't mean jailbreak using Electra right?
no, using u0
right, ok got it
electras old, time to update š
unlike electra, u0 gives you the ability to not only block updates but also unjailbreak whenever
huh nice to know š
ok so I tried jailbreaking with u0:
An error occured while installing a package from local apt repo.
OK

I can't thank you enough for taking the time to help troubleshoot with me

No worries
btw is there a HBO Max jailbreak bypass for 11.3?
if you'd like.. there's a tweak in nitoTVs featured section called No Reset
nice, I definitely need that
it might error upon installing, but that's gettin' fixed
sorry not jailbreak bypass, I meant firmware spoofer since it's telling me I need to update from tvOS 11.3
maybe I'll just have to upgrade, but I know I need the dongle first though
gonna have to take a look at checkra1n later for sure
for what app?
@small flower should be fixed now
@pliant notch more than just that š
@fleet parcel It works now, thanks!
Hi. I am on 13.4.6. Try to jailbreak and it gives -31 error. Should I update to 14 or 14.0.1?
Are there nitoTV on TVoS 14?
@worn meadow Take a look at Dales Dead Bug in the Nito repository. I used to use it to spoof my version to install apps. Not sure if it has been updated for the latest tvOS though.
@fleet parcel getting an "Unable to fetch some archives error" while trying to update net.joshtv.kodimatrix 19.0.0~alpha3-01
Anyone know how to fix this
@naive oasis what happened?
@jade portal what Apple tv do you have and no, stay on 13
For some reason the home screen isnāt showing up
@jade portal what Apple tv do you have and no, stay on 13
@fleet parcelI am on 13.4.6. AppleTV 2015. Try to jailbreak and it gives -31 error.
@jade portal use checkra1n CLI
@fleet parcel Linux?
sudo checkra1n -c
@naive oasis reboot
@fleet parcel ok
sudo checkra1n -c
@fleet parcel Ok.
@storm ridge yeah, i was testing an updated Kodi build.. I had to remove it because it didn't work
@fleet parcel fixed. Thank you!
@fleet parcel Ok.
@jade portal Kind of worked on linux. Had jailbreak screen, but no nitoTV got installed. Weird.
we really need an adblocker for the youtube app, itās gotten horrible
@jade portal hold down the tv button, try clicking the checkra1n symbol
@jade portal hold down the tv button, try clicking the checkra1n symbol
@fleet parcel Nothing happens
Try booting in safe mode
Try booting in safe mode
@fleet parcel How?
toggle on Safe Mode in checkra1ns options
What device?
@vale pagoda ATv 4 (not 4K)
@fleet parcel ok thanks. Interesting though is that I can run my sideloaded Kodi even though the cert has long expired (I installed it over a year ago and use JB to circumvent the certificate check) I had updated from 13.5
Getting this after jailbreaking 14.0.1 on atv 4
F
I'd downgrade to 13.4.8 @worldly hare ... is it an Apple TV 4K?
yes
Okay I will downgrade right now
if you care for jailbreaking, downgrade it immediately and save blobs
Already saved blobsš downloading the ipsw now
Okay im on 13.4.8 now :)
they unsigned 14.0 but left 13.4.8 open š¤
Apple logic was probably like āunsign 13.7 and 14.0 for all devicesā... unless thereās some other reason
@analog elk it think 13.4.8 is the next 10.2.2
I need to unplug my jailbroken Apple TV. Is there anything I should do before I unplug it? I know I will have to rejaikbreak it when I plug it back.
ATV4k ios 12.3 jailbroken with unc0ver
wdym? just unplug it
@fleet parcel hi, where can I find the actual userdata files of Kodi? Itās not located in - private/var/mobile/library/preferences - like it should be
@tacit egret to reset it properly all determines on what jailbreak you have
as for your Kodi info, it should be in /private/var/Containers/Data/Applications/xxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx/Documents/Cache/
Thanx for answering, tried this path too.. tried every folder but nothing seems to be kodiās
And I have unc0ver
Alright found it, tnx
for unc0ver, head into the app and select "Restore RootFS" in settings, then go back to the main screen and click "Restore RootFS"
That'll unjailbreak it, after, head into Apple TVs settings and use Reset
If you want to stay on your jailbroken firmware, make sure you don't select "Update and Reset" @tacit egret
JTV THANX !!
Hi all
Anyone knows why ANY 4K video/movie that is streaming from kodi is all laggy?
Atv 4K
I use real debrid, everything worked great, suddenly It started to lag
as for your Kodi info, it should be in /private/var/Containers/Data/
@fleet parcel - also for some reason besides āsystemā thereās nothing here, no Application folder , only System folder
Whatās is going on with my atv lol, this is after a clean reset and rejailbreak
@fleet parcel ok thanks. Interesting though is that I can run my sideloaded Kodi even though the cert has long expired (I installed it over a year ago and use JB to circumvent the certificate check) I had updated from 13.5
@analog elk yea I was able to resign Kodi for another 365 days AFTER my developer account lapsed. Not sure how or why but I haven't had a paid account in months and it still works.
oof.. using dev certs...
if you care for jailbreaking, downgrade it immediately and save blobs
@fleet parcel Is jailbreak works on 13.4.8?
yes
toggle on Safe Mode in checkra1ns options
@fleet parcel Tried Safemode on 13.4.6. Same got button on the side panel, but when I click nothing happens. May I factory reset safely after unsuccesfull jailbreak with checkrain?
yes
How do I successfully jailbreak tvOS 14?
You can't yet @plucky token
Oh okay all good then @fleet parcel
Is it possible to jailbreak tvOS 14.0.1 APTV 4k using breakout cable?
is it possible to jailbreak a appletv that dosen't run tvos, befor appletv3
@clear gulch not yet
@fleet parcel ok thanks matešš¼
Stay put though.. Any more updates will make it worse @clear gulch
Is there anyway to jailbreak āwirelesslyā like how you can side load apps with Xcode wirelessly ?
has there been any fix to checkra1n tvOS 14?
@analog elk depends on the tvOS version, but you can sideload the JB with Xcode wirelessly and then just run it on the Apple TV
on 13.0-13.4.5 you can use unc0verTV
oh i was meaning for checkrain cause im on 14 :/
oh nope checkra1n requires USB
because it's a low level DFU exploit
it wouldn't even have a Wi-Fi connection in DFU
has there been any fix to checkra1n tvOS 14?
@lethal plume not yet
what are the advantages of jailbreaking an apple tv
@lone gust depends what device/OS
btw why cant my
tv download tvos 14
I would stay away from 14
