- An Apple TV (second generation).
- A micro USB cable.
- A working computer
- Intel based Mac running Mac OS X 10.6 or above, or
- PC with Microsoft XP or later.
- The latest version of iTunes.
Step 1: Download the latest version of Seas0npass for either Mac or Windows depending on your operating system. When downloaded, unzip the ‘Seas0npass.zip‘ file and launch Seas0nPass.
Step 2: As mentioned above, Seas0npass is based
around a restore based jailbreak and therefore requires a custom built
IPSW. Select the ‘Create IPSW‘ option to begin the process.
Step 3: The latest Apple TV firmware (4.4.4) will be downloaded and Seas0nPass will use this file to create a custom jailbroken file.
Step 4: When prompted by the tool, connect your Apple TV device to your Mac/PC using the Micro USB
cable. Do not have the power cable connected at this time. The light on
the front of the Apple TV will begin to flash rapidly, it is now time
to point the remote at the device and hold both the MENU and PLAY/PAUSE buttons for seven seconds.
Step 5: After the seven seconds has elapsed, release
the buttons. iTunes will automatically open and begin the restore
process. Don’t be alarmed by the windows that you see opening on the
screen.
Step 6: After the process is complete, iTunes will
confirm the successful restore. Your Apple TV is now jailbroken. You can
check this by connecting the device to your television and viewing the
interface. In the bottom right hand corner you should see a temporary
‘FC’ logo which confirms a successful restore.
