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.

Apple TV 3 News: When Will The New Apple TV 3 Jailbreak Be Released?

There have been a lot of discussions on the Internet related to the release of the much-awaited Apple TV 3 jailbreak, but the exact date hasn’t been disclosed yet. Developers have been forced to postpone the release of the jailbreak because the creation of the hacking software is a detailed process that requires a lot of effort and preparation. Nevertheless, the news that the jailbreak for Apple TV 3 is in progress is true, so here are the latest updates on developers’ work.
 Apple Tv 3 Jailbreak : Stay up-to-date and get involved to Jailbreak ATV3

The jailbreak for Apple TV 3 has been through various stages since it was first announced by developers at Chip Jailbreak Group in 2012. The first version that was released on the market was tethered, so visitors were not very pleased with the performance of the software. The majority of them complained that they had to use a computer connection in order to boot the device. The information that has been stored on the device before the boot was deleted when the digital media receiver has been restarted.

As a consequence, developers were forced to start a new research in order to create an untethered version of the jailbreak. The software is currently tested and re-tested because engineers want to make sure there will be no flaws once users decide to install it.

 The first tests were good, but then, developers noticed that part of the information was lost during the reboot process, so they had to start everything all over again.

The software is almost ready now, so developers estimate that it will most likely be released before the beginning of March. Chip Jailbreak Group assures people that the jailbreak will be worth the waiting as the software will be endowed with many advanced features and options.

The installation process will be as easy as possible because engineers want to meet their visitors’ expectations. All users have to do is download the software and run the program, which will automatically create a wizard that will guide you through the installation process. At the end of the installation, users will have many features to enjoy on their Apple TV 3 streaming player.

Customizing the screen to showcase the information that is more important for the user, as well as, sharing photos and videos with the help of other iOS-based devices is another great feature that developers have prepared for Apple TV 3 owners.

Meanwhile in Jailbreak Land :
Most people fear jailbreaking their modern devices because they think their gadgets might be forever compromised.
Those few people who have had the courage to take the big step and control their electronic devices, have been very satisfied with the benefits they have obtained. So, is it worth jailbreaking your Apple TV 3 or not? Here are some pros and cons that will help you make up your mind.

The process of jailbreaking digital media receivers has been described both as a legal and an illegal act. The existing laws do not cover these cases, so it is up to the manufacturers whether they want to file a lawsuit or not. Apple, however, is encouraging the production of Apple TV 3 jailbreaks, so the software could soon be acknowledged as legal.

The safety of your Apple TV 3 is much more important than any legal grounds related to jailbreaks, which is why you should take the time to think the risks through. Once you break into the software of your digital media receiver, your Apple TV 3 will be more vulnerable to viruses and malwares. These incidents can be easily prevented by simply choosing to manually update your device and by downloading apps from trustworthy websites.

Skeptics will try to prevent you from jailbreaking your Apple TV 3 by claiming that you will lose the product’s warranty. There are many other situations that will cause you to lose the device’s warranty, so you should not be set back by their argument. As long as you take care of your digital media receiver and you carefully follow the jailbreaking instructions, your Apple TV 3 will be safe.

Now that I have enlisted the three main disadvantages of jailbreaking your Apple TV 3, it is time to move on to the long list of benefits. The software is a blessing for customers who want to get rid of Apple’s control and be able to use their devices to their fullest potential. The jailbreak enables users to install all the applications they want and to improve the device’s performance with the help of additional functions.

Moreover, the digital media receiver can be customized to display the information that is more relevant for the user once the original software has been breached.

In the end, jailbreaking your Apple TV 3 is not a risk-free process; on the contrary, both the hardware and the software components may be compromised if you don’t follow the instructions. Yet, as an owner of a jailbroken Apple TV 3, I can guarantee you that the risks are just a small price to pay compared to the numerous benefits you will get.

Jailbreak: Updates on Apple TV 3 Jailbreak

 Jailbreak Status Update
Tech lovers who recently bought their Apple TV 3 device might want to get familiar with the most recent details concerning the release of the untethered jailbreak. The software went through different stages as developers initially thought the media receiver was impossible to breach and later on, discovered that the hacking software was possible, after all.

Just the other day, developers at Chip Jailbreak Group released a statement announcing that the untethered version of Apple TV 3 will be available by the end of the year.

The press release wrote: “The hacking software is undergoing tests before the final version will eventually be uploaded on the company’s website”. No exact dates were provided, which means we will have to keep on pressing the refresh button for new information.

The team was the first to create a breaching program for Apple TV 3. However, the first users who downloaded the software claimed the jailbreak needed a PC connection for the device to preserve its features after the turn-off. As a result, developers got back to their labs to produce an untethered version of the software, that is, the version that will no longer require a PC connection.

Close sources have stated that the team has already accomplished the first steps towards the creation of the untethered Apple TV 3 jailbreak, but the rumor was not confirmed by developers yet. They only declared in their press release that they will continue to test the program they have for one or two more weeks.

These tests are necessary, in their opinion, because they help developers establish whether the program can hack all devices and whether it will bring the same benefits to all customers who will install them on their digital media receivers.

Delivering good products is extremely important for programmers and for this reason, they always ask for customers’ feedback making sure to take their requests in consideration all the time. If you plan to get complete access on your Apple TV 3 by the end of the year, make sure you check the Featured News Category and look for updates..

Apple Tv 3 Jailbreak Beta Version: Why You Should Ditch Your Apple TV2 For Apple TV3

The third generation of Apple’s digital media receiver may not be very different than the previous ones, but analysts claim there are some benefits that could convince you to ditch Apple TV 2 for Apple TV 3.

1. Like in the case of many other Apple devices, Apple TV 3 has not been significantly improved in comparison with its predecessor. However, the A4 chip has been upgraded to A5, whereas the RAM capacity was boosted to 512 MB. Unlike Apple TV 2 which had limited streaming capacity, Apple TV 3 is now capable of streaming 1080p videos, as well, so you get better specifications at the same price.

2. Apple chose to sell its second and third generation devices for $99, but costs for Apple TV 2 have skyrocketed since developers announced that the jailbreaking software for Apple TV 3 is not currently available.
This may not always be the case as the much-awaited Apple TV 3 jailbreak is expected to be released within the following weeks. Knowing that customers will be free to use the newest model to the fullest once the hacking software becomes available, prices could get a lot bigger than they are today.
The best way to get the Apple Tv 3 Jailbreak software right in the moment it's being launched is to look for updates at Apple Tv 3 Jailbreak News website that is constantly updated.

3. Chip Jailbreak Team announced that they have finally managed to create a beta version of the Apple TV 3 Jailbreak. The software will be available for download in the last week of November, giving owners the possibility to have full access on their Apple TV 3 devices. The fact that the hack is produced by the same team that developed the iOS 5.1.1 jailbreak is reason enough for customers to believe that the software will work for their digital media gadget, as well.

Apple TV 3 is the most advanced digital media receiver there is at present, no doubt about it. Despite this, it is sold at the same price as its weaker predecessor, Apple TV 2. In addition, Apple TV 3 is one step away from being jailbreaked, so tech lovers should definitely consider ditching Apple TV 2 in favor of Apple TV 3.

3 Reasons Why You Should Jailbreak Your Apple TV 3

There are many reasons why you shouldn’t jailbreak your Apple TV 3 device, including the fact that it is against Apple’s terms of service, but the benefits are sometimes too big to ignore. Here are three of the most important reasons that could help you decide in case you are still pondering on whether to jailbreak your new device or not.

Even though a valid jailbreak for the third generation of Apple TV hasn’t been revealed yet, you should, nevertheless, get prepared for the moment when it will eventually be disclosed. Some Apple TV owners may try to convince you that the process is too risky because your warranty will become void. However, the fact that you can use your device at its full capacity should make you at least consider jailbreaking it.

Most Apple TV customers complain about the streaming quality of the videos they purchase or rent on iTunes. The download speed is not any better, either, if we were to judge by those who waited three hours for a movie. Luckily, the jailbreak enables you to free your gadget of all restrictions that Apple tried to impose and to make full use of it.

As the term might metaphorically suggest it, jailbreaking into an Apple device, be it iPhone, iPad or Apple TV gives you the possibility to gain root access to your gadget. The firmware and operating system used on the device, namely iOS, will be easily controlled by you once you have broken them. What’s more important, iOS-based gadgets are now so easy to break that it would actually be a pity if you did not take advantage of this opportunity to enhance their capacity.

All you need to do to jailbreak your Apple TV 3 is a computer or laptop and the latest version of iTunes. As soon as the jailbreaking software for the third generation of digital media receiver is released, you will be able to download and install it on your device.

Apple TV 3 Jailbreak Is In Progress

The news that the most talented team of hackers could not jailbreak Apple TV 3 has caused a mass hysteria among Internet users. A week later, the developers at Chronic Dev Team announced that an Apple TV 3 jailbreak is currently in progress.

Pod2g, the expert working on jailbreaks disappointed his Twitter followers last week when he informed them that no Apple TV 3 jailbreak was possible for the moment. “I’m not currently working on it nor anyone that I’m aware of,” he added. In spite of the sad news, rumor has it that experts at FireCore might have found a way to break into the software.

The first to announce a jailbreak for the third generation of Apple TV was 9to5Mac. They reassured followers that the person who is working on the project is familiar with Apple TV, so the jailbreak will most certainly be a success.

Various methods have been tested until now, but only one jailbreak seems to have better results. The team working at 9to5Mac was unable to provide an exact date for the release of the 3rd generation Apple TV hack program, but they, nevertheless, managed to get people to calm down. FireCore reproduced their message, but they insisted on specifying that they have nothing to do with the jailbreak process:

“There is a group of very bright and talented individuals working on a lead that could result in a usable jailbreak for the 3rd gen Apple TV. While there is no telling how long this process could take, we remain optimistic that a jailbreak for this device will be available in the future. For the record, no one at FireCore is involved in the jailbreak discovery process”.

Once the jailbreak is released, FireCore will provide many useful products to its customers. Seas0nPass and aTV Flash have already been announced on the company’s website.
