Apple TV 3 Jailbreak Status Update and $2500 Bounty Launch

Posted by: John

We know how much you’ve been waiting for this status update and we’d like to apologize it took us so long to get back at you in a post.(Why is Apple Tv 3 Jailbreak Taking So Long?)
We’ve been communicating with you over the past few weeks via comments, emails and messages and you’ve been of so much help, thanks are in order. I know you’d love more to be thanked with a public jailbreak release for ATV3, but you’re going to have to wait just a little bit more.

We’ve decided to make another call for fellow jailbreakers to get involved. This time around there’s a $2500 bounty and Future Donations Credits to get you motivated.

But first things first. We’ve made a lot of progress and a lot of that is thanks to you. We have currently so many exploits to test we just can’t do it by ourselves.

Like Mike Davies mentioned before, there is an army of global hackers and testers helping with this. Small in numbers, that’s true, but even so big in brain power. Jailbreaking Apple TV 3 is difficult, but it’s not impossible. Remember there’s always a solution, you just have to look for it consistently. We are optimistic about the release of the ATV3 jailbreak in the upcoming weeks, so stay positive, you’ll soon have a reason to unbox your device.

How Can You Help

• Help Us Spread The Word

• Follow Mike Davies - Join the Discussion, Share ideas, Donate...

• Share any Alternative Solutions for ATV3 Jailbreak and help the community

 Thanks to everyone and anyone who decides to help us and bring something useful to this project! 

Please don't waste our time with comments like :"This is scam", "Where is the Jailbreak" " The Jailbreak will never come out"

If you don't like this website leave it.

And now for the most appealing part of our Apple TV 3 jailbreak status update: the $2500 bounty. Remember we are understaffed and poorly funded, but we decided to award the person that delivers a bullet-proof jailbreak fix for ATV3 with a bounty worth $2500. The money is already set aside to make sure we are all ready to go with a public release as soon as the jailbreak is delivered.

The only condition for the $2500 bounty is to agree to have the ATV3 jailbreak code released publicly for free. We are also ready to give you the Future Donations Credits, so if you’ve been waiting for a good reason to actually set up your mind on developing the ATV3 jailbreak, it doesn’t get any better than this.

Please remember we are all doing our very best to release this jailbreak as soon as possible and that’s why we have decided to launch the $2500 bounty out of my own pocket . Hope that is a good-enough motivation for all of you great hackers out there. Just contact us by email, by comment or via a social network for more details. 

I know you’ve been waiting for news on this, so here is where we currently stand with the Apple TV 3 jailbreak. We are currently testing several exploits and most are giving us a handful. A reader reported that xmbc works on atv3 with airparrot via a file called Bonjour64.msi which is obtained from an iTunes file download. We tried that and used it with airplay to try mirroring on atv3 via an iPad with xbmc. So that’s one hack that’s been causing  a lot of headaches.

We’ve also received an ATV3 restore.ipsw file and a key said to be directly from Apple and we are currently testing the jailbreak using that particular code. There’s a lot more that’s going on, just enough hacks to keep us busy night and day. If you want to help, please contact us and we’ll give you a full update.

Also, thanks for the financial support. That’s been very helpful since during the development of the ATV3 jailbreak we’ve burned a lot of devices.

I know the last ATV 3 jailbreak status update article became difficult to scroll for comments, so you can stay in touch with us via the rss feed for comments available here: www.appletv3jailbreak.com/feeds/comments/default. I have also set up a widget to help stay in touch and now you can follow us by e-mail. You can find it in the right sidebar.

While we’re still working on the jailbreak for ATV3, you will have a new section at hand to browse on our website. We have put together a comprehensive selection of How To articles that will help you make the most of your ATV and it will be available in the next days.

Articles vary from teaching you how to set up your Apple TV and how to set up home sharing for Apple TV or how to use AirPlay Mirroring, as well as troubleshooting for common issues. Our Apple TV hacks, how-to articles and guides will apply to all generation-devices, not just ATV 3.
Thank you all for being so patient and remember, stay positive and don't give up on getting the jailbreak for ATV3.

Why Is Apple TV3 Jailbreak Taking So Long - Beware Of Scams

A lot of you have pointed fingers in disbelief calling our project a scam and accused us of doing all this for the money. I’ll say it one more time and that’s it: this is not a scam, we are all in for the challenge of jailbreaking one of Apple’s toughest devices and we all want to deliver a jailbreak that will work for all of us. We’ve been having the busiest time of our lives and it’s been quite difficult to find time to stay connected and keep you updated daily on our project status.

Jailbreaking iOS and A5 devices is difficult, but not impossible, and like evad3rs proved before us, it takes effort and time to release a jailbreak.

iOS 6 on iPhone 5 took them several weeks, but that’s a device that offers a lot more opportunities for exploits than Apple TV 3. The ATV on the other hand offers a very small space of action because there are less services and process running on the $99 device.

That means it is consistently harder for us to achieve full root access because the doorways to do that through are limited in number and better sealed by Apple than other devices. Remember, that it’s not impossible, it’s just a matter of time before we lock in that exploit so stay positive. We get most of our motivation from you, so claims that the jailbreak is never going to be released, accusations that this is a scam and so on can only hurt the project.

Secondly, the Apple TV 3 jailbreak takes so long because we are understaffed, so there are only a few developers working on this. This is particularly the case because most of the hackers familiar with iOS exploits and jailbreaking are focusing on iPhone, iPad and the iPod.

Because ATV exploits are limited and difficult to lock down, only those that love a good challenge are working on the jailbreak. Hopefully, the $2500 bounty will motivate some of you to get involved.

So, in a few words jailbreaking Apple TV3 takes so long because:

1. We are only a few people working on this jailbreak
2. The number of processes and services that can be exploited is limited
3. ATV3 features no natively installed browser, being limited to on screen system access to iTunes and YouTube
4. All of this means we can’t fully open ATV3 to third party apps...YET!

We are currently testing several exploits, and although we are very close to a partial tethered jailbreak, it’s going to take us a little bit more before we publicly release a bullet-proof fix. So while we keep up the work, keep your fingers crossed and stay positive.

Apple Tv 3 Jailbreak Status: Get Involved

 Posted by: Mike Davies

Benefits of Jailbreaking Apple TV 3
Possibility to fully control your devices and to free them of any restrictions imposed by Apple. Once Apple TV 3 has been jailbroken, the digital media received will enable the visualization of a wider range of videos and the installation of a large number of applications.

Apple offers a limited range of possibilities for customers who want to customize their devices, but the hacking program enables owners to select the information they want to display on their background and the information they want to hide.

Installing the ATV 3 jailbreak has been compared to opening a window of opportunities. The software is the only one that offers access to all the major network channels, such as, Hulu, ESPN, Amazon, Last.fm, Pandora, PBS, A&E, ABC, CBS, NBA, MTV, not to mention the videos that can be watched on iTunes, Netflix, NBA, NHL, YouTube and Vimeo.

There are many apps that can be added on the device after the unlocking procedure has been completed.

Even if you don’t plan to jailbreak the device yet, Maybe you will change your mind and get it once it is released. No one forces people to jailbreak their gadgets, yet millions of users choose to jailbreak themselves because of all the benefits that come along with this process.

Apple TV2 Seas0nPass Jailbreak for iOS 5.2.1 / 6.1.3 Is Now Available

There are a lot of iOS users that have lost hope there will ever be an untethered jailbreak for iOS 6.1.3 for iPhone 5 and Apple TV 3 despite intense efforts to that end. First progress signs have already been reported and while we are working on the Apple TV 3 jailbreak, it’s always nice to hear good news to keep all of us motivated. Earlier this month, the Seas0nPass developers released for public use a tethered jailbreak for Apple TV 2 running iOS 5.1.2 (6.1.3).

 Seas0nPass Jailbreak iOS 5.2.1/6.1.3

Thanks to an updated seas0npass version, there is a jailbreak for ios 5.2.1/ 6.1.3 on Apple TV 2. This is definitely good news and we hope it’s a good sign for those of you who have lost hope your Apple TV will ever see the “light” of a new jailbreak.

The updated Seas0nPass jailbreaks iOS 5.2.1 or 6.1.3 on Apple TV 2 but performs only a tethered jailbreak, so you will have to keep your device connected to your Mac or PC when rebooting. That way you won’t have to install the jailbreak every time you reboot.

Don’t be disappointed because this is just a tethered jailbreak, Seas0nPass devs did a really good job and we’re sure they are working just as hard as we are to give you a free public release of an untethered jailbreak for ATV 2.

So, if you’re dying to rip the benefits of a jailbroken Apple TV 2, running iOS 5.2.1 (6.1.3) here’s how to perform the tethered jailbreak using the updated seas0npass tool:
Seas0nPass for Mac [10.6 or later]
Seas0nPass for Windows [XP or later]

Step 1

This is all about preparation. Prepare for the jailbreak Apple TV 2’s power cable, silver aluminum remote and a micro USB cable that is a maximum 1 meter long.

Step 2

Once you’ve got those items ready to go, it’s time to download the seas0npass jailbreak files. There are two versions available: one that works with Mac (10.6 or later) and one for Windows (XP or later).

Step 3

In the downloaded seasonpass jailbreak files, double click the folder and extract all the files. Select the .exe file and double click on it to launch the jailbreak application. You might be prompted a message that asks you to install iTunes, just click OK and proceed.

Step 4

You will have to click the “Create IPSW” option which basically activates the jailbreak app. Seas0nPass will now begin to download the Apple TV 5.2.1 ipsw file and create a jailbroken version of it. When that’s done, you will be asked to put your device in DFU mode.

Step 5

Entering the DFU mode is always something of a hassle for the first-time jailbreaker. Just follow these guidelines and you should have no problems entering the DFU mode the next time: plug-in the power cable and then the micro USB cable to your Apple TV. Wait for the front light to start glowing before pressing at the same time the Play and Menu buttons for 7 seconds. Remember to use the silver remote, not the plastic one. When the front light is blinking you have successfully entered your Apple TV 2 in DFU mode.

Step 6

Your Mac or desktop is now communicating with your Apple TV 2 in DFU mode. iTunes will launch and take over for you for the last few stages of the tethered jailbreak. It will begin a restoration process and when it will display a 1602 error message, don’t freak out. It is normal and it is a sign that your jailbreak has been performed correctly and is now completed.

Step 7

Before enjoying the perks of your newly jailbroken Apple TV 2 iOS 5.2.1, you will have to perform a few new steps to set top box on Tetherboot. Here’s how to do that. First of all, if the Seas0nPass jailbreak wizard closed after the jailbreak complete message, you will have to click on the Seas0nPass jailbreak file again and select “Boot Tethered” this time.

Step 8

Use the micro USB cable to connect your Apple TV 2 to your computer and put the box in DFU mode again. Just follow the guidelines we presented at Step 5. While in DFU mode for a second time during the tethered jailbreak, your Apple TV 2 will be taken over by iTunes.

Step 9

Remove the micro USB cable from the computer. Make sure you don’t touch the power cable however.

Step 10

Connect the HDMI cable to your Apple TV, set the Language and then just select “No Thanks” when the policy page is displayed.

Step 11

On your Apple TV 2’s home screen you should see the XBMC Firecore icon. If you do see it, then congrats: you've successfully performed a tethered jailbreak of your Apple TV 2 iOS 5.2.1.
