Hi,
I don't know what to do anymore. I tried to JB my ATV2 today but I can't get it to work. I used Greenpoison RC6-1. Updated ATV to 4.2.1
Plugged USB cable, opened Greenpoison, pressed "Yes", started the JB and got the ATV into DFU mode. JB in progress -> Complete, I wait around 1-2 minutes then press Complete. Remove the USB and plug in the power cable and HDMI.
ATV starts, connects to WLAN but I get no greenpoison menu entry and can't connect via SSH (the command should be ssh root@atvip or not?).

I tried that in all kind of different forms alrdy. Always restoring the ATV via itunes before the next try. I never get the greenpoison menu or can establish SSH connection.

Any ideas?

edit: I finally found the problem.... I updated to the new firmware that apparently came out today while I restored the ATV and there is no JB available for that yet... 4 hours of work for nothing

I have the same problem. Is it because we updated to 4.2 (that is the firmware that shows after I updated) is there a way to downgrade to a lower firmware? That you know of
 
RULE of ATV 2 - NEVER UPDATE Firmware.

Yeah..I have same problem.
Once I did the update the patch no longer would work.
