Seas0nPass: PwnageTool For The AppleTV 2

---

New day, new jailbreaking tool. This one is Apple TV specific and is used to create a custom Firmware that you can restore to in iTunes. Even providing a tethered boot tool for when power is lost or just needing a reboot. Seas0npass.app is Mac only and simple to use. It will even download the IPSW if you don’t have it saved on your computer.

NOTE: Currently the jailbreak for the 4.1.1 (iOS 4.2.1) software is 'tethered'. A tethered jailbreak requires the AppleTV to be connected to a computer for a brief moment during startup.

Seas0nPass makes this as easy as possible, but please do not proceed unless you are comfortable with this process.

Pre-launch checklist

1. Download and install the latest version of iTunes (check for updates through Software Update located in Apple menu).
2. Download Seas0nPass
3. A micro USB cable will be required to complete the jailbreak.

Using Seas0nPass to jailbreak the AppleTV

Step 1: Unzip the 'Seas0nPass.zip' file and launch Seas0nPass.



Step 2: If your AppleTV is not yet jailbroken, select 'Create IPSW'. (if already jailbroken, and you just need to do a 'tethered boot' scroll down)



Step 3: The latest AppleTV software will be downloaded and used to create a custom 'jailbroken' software file.



Step 4: When prompted, connect your AppleTV using a micro-USB cable (leave power disconnected), and hold both the 'MENU' and 'PLAY/PAUSE' buttons for 7 seven seconds.



Step 5: iTunes will open automatically and start the restore process.



Step 6: iTunes will confirm the restore when complete - your AppleTV is now jailbroken. Please proceed to the 'tethered boot' section below.

Using Seas0nPass for a 'tethered boot'

Some AppleTV software versions require a tethered boot. This means the AppleTV must be connected to a computer for a brief moment during startup.

Step 1: Open Seas0nPass and select the 'Boot Tethered' option.



Step 2: When prompted, connect the AppleTV to your computer via USB. Wait for the rapid flashing light then connect the power. Once both are connected hold both the 'MENU' and 'PLAY/PAUSE' buttons for 7 seven seconds.



Step 3: Seas0n Pass will complete the tethered boot automatically. Once complete, remove the USB cable and connect the HDMI cable
