The username is root and the password alpine. Now we need to logon to the ATV using a SSH terminal (for windows:, mac users can use Terminal). You can find this in ‘Settings’, ‘General’, ‘Network’. After the firstrun setup we need to know the ip-address of the ATV. Follow the instructions on your TV to setup the ATV. First connect the ATV to your TV and the network. Now the ATV is jailbroken we can install XBMC on it.

ITunes will notify you when the upgrade is complete, also Seas0nPass will display a ready message. Seas0nPass will now start iTunes and perform a scripted restore of the custom firmware onto the ATV. The normal mode probably failed because my laptop’s USB-port gives not enough power, maybe this problem wont occur on a normal desktop system. Then I’ve waited 5 seconds and connected the power cord, after about 20 more seconds I’ve hold the MENU and PLAY/PAUSE buttons on the remote and Seas0nPass detected the device in DFU mode.

The first time I tried I failed to get the ATV into DFU mode, I’ve solved this by disconnection the USB cable and reconnect it again. Now it’s time to enter the ATV into DFU mode, in this mode it’s possible to load the modified firmware onto the ATV.

#SEAS0NPASS INSTALLATIN HOW TO#

In this post I’ll describe how to jailbreak the ATV and install XBMC.įirst unbox the ATV, as we are expecting of Apple it is packed in a nice little box containing a power cord, remote, user manual and of course the ATV itself. A nice little appliance to play your iTunes content on you tv screen, but still limited to iTunes content…īecause I want to play more media formats (which the Apple TV doesn’t support) from my NAS instead of iTunes I will test a jailbroken Apple TV2 with XBMC. Steve Jobs’ hobby project at Apple was the Apple TV. XBMC is since January 2011 ported to iOS which mean you can install it on your (jailbroken) iPhone or iPad. This computer is getting a bit noisy so I’m looking for an upgrade. If you have any questions you can ask in our comment section below.I’m running XBMC Media Center ( ) for several years now on my Windows 7 based HTPC. After that, you will disconnect the USB cable and connect the HDMI cable. Put Apple TV in the mode of DFU, press and hold buttons “MENU” and “PLAY / PAUSE” together for 7 seconds. Step 2: Connect Apple TV to your Mac or Windows-based PC with a cable micro-USB, disconnect the power cord for the device. Step 1: Start Seas0nPass and check the “Boot Tethered”. Loading Apple TV iOS 5.1 in tethered mode But don’t forget that this jailbreak is tethered. Now in your hands you have jailbroken Apple TV on iOS 5.1. Step 6: iTunes will report you when the installation will be complete. Step 5: iTunes will open automatically and begin the process of installing the hacked firmware. Step 4: When Seas0nPass show the next image, connect the Apple TV with cable micro-USB (powered OFF) to the computer, press and hold buttons “MENU” and “PLAY / PAUSE” together for 7 seconds. Step 3: Wait until Seas0nPass download all the files needed to create a custom firmware.
