How to Jailbreak your AppleTV running iOS 5.0.2 - Untethered


BEFORE YOU START


An Important Reminder



*** This guide will ONLY WORK for 2nd gen Apple TV's. ***



*** The 3rd gen Apple TV is not yet supported.  ***




Step One
Download the latest version of SeasonPass from here.

Step Two
Extract the archive you downloaded. Once Seas0nPass is extracted you will need to right click on the Seas0nPass.exe file and click the Run as administrator option (if applicable).

Step Three

Click the Create IPSW button from the main screen.


Step Four
Seas0nPass will now download the latest Apple TV firmware file.





Step Five
Seas0nPass will create a custom IPSW file for you.









Step Six
Once your custom IPSW file has been created, Seas0nPass will ask you to connect the Apple TV to your computer via a micro-USB cable and use the remote to put it into DFU mode by holding MENU and PLAY/PAUSE for 7 seconds. The power cable should be unplugged during this process.




Step Seven
Once your Apple TV has been detected in DFU mode, Seas0nPass will upload some files, ask you if its okay to automatically restore firmware, and then beginning restoring to the new firmware.








 Step Eight
That's it! Your Apple TV is jailbroken!  

To test, reconnect your AppleTV to your Television set.  If you see the RED FC ICON with the word "Settings" underneath, then give yourself a pat on the back.
