Cant restore the custom firmware. I keep getting error 21. Interestingly, when I restore it says restoring 4.0 and it fails right after communicating with the apple server. Can restore the apple firmware though. Apple's gives me error 1602, but it still works. Any thoughts?

You must be on WIndows, it is not currently working on WIndows, Pwnage tool need to put the ATV on DFU, you cannot do it manually

How do you find the ip of your apple tv to ssh into it?
Click to expand...

Um what am i missing. either open up your routers config page and see what address it assigned the appletv or even easier just reconnect your appletv to your network and tv, go to settings tab and under network it lists your ip address.
 
Tried it on osx and windows, but I didn't let pawnage put in edu. I did it manually. I'll try again but I couldn't get pwnage to start dfu. Seems to hang. Thanks for the quick response n

If you go to ~/.ssh and delete the file "known hosts" it will go away. You know what the device is, so the warning doesn't apply in this case.

Some of us stand on the shoulders of giants, I prefer to cower before them. More chance of getting stood on though... If you think I'm going somewhere wih this analogy, you're smarter and more philosophically gifted than I.

Really eager to see NitoTV gain all of it's features... It's an impressive start as it is, and the toolkit/template projects will be invaluable for chumps like me who need a helping hand getting started in ATV app development.
 
helloworld

Has anybody been able to compile and deploy the "helloworld" example made available by NitoTV?

Link is: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/6j58kq

If somebody could post detailed instructions as to how to compile it in Xcode and deploy to the Apple TV, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks much!
 
I downloaded custom firmware for apple tv, but when I try to restore in DFU mode, I get error 1600. Any idea? I'm on windows.
 
Custom Firmware

Hi there. I've just bought an Apple TV 2G and it's great, but a jailbreak would be great too. The only problem is that i don't have a Mac and i'd like to know if anyone could build as a greatfavor a custom firware with PwnageTool 4.1.2 and post it any site kind pf megaupload, hotfile, etc.

Thank you very much.
 
I know PwnageTool 4.1.2 doesn't work on WIndows. I can put my Apple TV in DFU mode with remote control, etc,... but what i need is that any who can build a custom firmware with PWG to make at your own Mac and post it anywhere so i can, with my iTunes 10, in my PC, make a restore with it.
 
I have Tested this in windows, and it will not work, I restored my apple TV using my mac and Pwnage tool to put apple tv in dfu mode. For some reason This version of Pwnage tool has to put your device into dfu mode. I have tried to put my iPhone4 and my Apple Tv myself into dfu mode, Without using Pwnage Tool,and i kept getting the 1600 error message on Itunes when i try to restore. You have to put your devices in dfu mode Using Pwnage tool to avoid the 1600 error message in itunes.I have found no other way around it.
 
Guide posted here: http://wiki.awkwardtv.org/wiki/NitoTV_Take_3

Shiny new Wiki Page, and probably the best place to follow the NitoTV development, next to Twitter, of course.

A pre-prepared firmware will probably not restore from a Windows computer. I may be wrong, but I believe Pwnagetool executes the exploit after it's guided you into DFU mode- "regular" DFU mode doesn't seem to work.

As for the Hello World project, you need the latest version of XCode then do this:

0) Make sure your Apple TV is turned on and connected to the network!!! It should be named the default "Apple TV" for convenience, resulting in a hostname of: apple-tv.local

1) Change the drop-down build menu to "Release | atvTwo | x86_64"

2) Fire up Terminal (On your local machine)

3) Type: "cd /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/"

4) Type: "sudo ln -s iPhoneOS4.1.sdk/ iPhoneOS4.0.sdk"

5) Enter your password, as prompted and close Terminal

6) Expand the "Targets" node in the left-hand pane of XCode

-- In theory this step should work:
7) Right click "thePlugin" and choose "Build"

-- But I had to:
8) Open up Terminal again

9) "cd ~/Downloads/helloWorld/" (This step may vary for you)

8) "sh build.sh"

-- At this point the script will SSH into your AppleTV and attempt to install the frappliance - Frontrow/Lowtide plugin.

9) Wheee! If you are prompted to continue connecting, answer "yes"

10) Enter your AppleTV password (Default is "alpine")

11) Wheee! Enter your password again.

12) If you're watching your AppleTV on a display, the screen should go blank as Lowtide gets killed and begins to restart. If it hangs on "waiting for network services" for a while, just hammer some keys on your remote- seemed to work for me.

Guys

Are u getting the 1600 error after restoring and towards the end of the process? If so ignore the 1600 error. It's jailbroken. Happened on all three of my appletvs. You should now be able to
Reboot atv and ssh in.

I don't think it'll work. PwnageTool does something when you go through its DFU mode instructions- I think its last point of call is to use limera1n to open up your AppleTV2 to the invalid firmware update.

You could try running limera1n/greenpois0n and then immediately attempting to restore- probably wont work, but worth a try!
