what can you do with a jailbroken apple tv
@evomasterryan did you ever get a answer to why you got the “this device isnt eligible for the requested build” message? Thanks
@ZachsVlog For the Apple TV it uses a MICRO USB port, google that shit my friend.
It’s MINI USB, not micro USB.
@byronfoodjikla
Visit iClarified website. You have to hold down a the ‘alt/option’ key when clicking the restore button in iTunes; applies to Mac via Pwnage Tool. I don’t think Windows/Greenpois0n uses iTunes w/ key press, but rather is a patch. I think the Winblows way ends up tethered and the Mac way ends up untethered.
@KidkidGenius … You can watch free (relatively) if you don’t JB… subscribe to Netflix for less than $10 a month and you have access to thousands of movies & TV shows.
Check the Instantwatcher website fora full listing.
For those who want to know HOW-TO…
Visit the iClarified website for tuts and warez. BUT! Make sure you Read everything and follow the tuts very carefully.
There you will find info for PC & Mac.
Those who want to know the advantages of JB’ing should google it. There are just too many sites out there explaining everything to repeat it here.
Just know that you won’t be sorry you did, if you educate yourself on how to take advantage of the innumerable possibilities.
Ok guys thanks for the USB location info.
I found it right after I posted the question and unplugged everything. (2 months ago)
@RJB0U812 you have a little hole under the HDMI cable and that’s where the mini USB goes in !!
This device isn’t eligible for the requested build ??
can anyone help me out plz ??
I just picked up my my ATV2 and a Micro USB cable. when i plug the cable from the ATV2 to my Macbook Pro, Nothing happens. Anyone know why this is?
can you watch free movies if you jailbreak it?
@RJB0U812 it’s got a micro USB port … google it mate
If you have a Kindle you can use the kindle chartering cable because it is Micro USB
Is this tethered??
it wont find my firmware…AppleTV2,1_4.1_8M89_Restore.ipsw
OK, Where’s the USB port?
My ATV2 doesn’t have one… Just Power, HDMI, Toslink Audio, & Ethernet.
And SSH does’t work via the network either.
ASV: 4.2.1 (2100)
@TechStudioHD:
Really? If we can make it… We can hack it. There is no such thing as a perfect machine… they are made by imperfect people.
Winblows is the worst as evidenced by the anti-virus and malware industry.
At least these hacks require you to be present with your device and are not remote exploits which puts Apple above M$ in terms of security.
Furthermore, most of the Apple Hacks you see are here to give the device owner the functionality that should have been there to begin with.
you are the best thanks
@trinhk XBMCi shte best one, you can install the icefilms plugin and watch EVERY single movie/show at icefilms.info for free (easily 50k)
What’s the purpose of jailbreaking the apple TV. What extra features that you get after JB?
