Pre-launch checklist

1. Latest version of iTunes.
2. Latest version of Seas0nPass (use links above).
3. A micro USB cable.
4. Disconnect any iPods, iPhones, and iPads from your computer.

Using Seas0nPass to jailbreak the AppleTV

Step 1: Unzip the 'Seas0nPass.zip' file and launch Seas0nPass.

Step 2: Select the 'Create IPSW' button to start the jailbreak process.

Step 3: The latest AppleTV software will be downloaded and used to create a custom 'jailbroken' software file.

Step 4: When prompted, connect your AppleTV to your Mac/PC using a micro-USB cable (leave power cable disconnected).

Once the light on the front of the AppleTV begins to flash rapidly, point the remote at the AppleTV and hold both the MENU and PLAY/PAUSE buttons for 7 seven seconds.

Note: This step will require the silver (aluminum) AppleTV remote that was included with the ATV2. The older, white (plastic) remotes will not work.

Step 5: iTunes will open automatically and start the restore process.

 

Step 6: iTunes will confirm the restore when complete - your AppleTV is now jailbroken!

Note: To confirm the jailbreak was successful a (temporary) red FC logo will appear in the lower right corner of the screen - as shown below.

---

Using Seas0nPass for a 'tethered boot'

Some AppleTV software versions require a tethered boot. This means the AppleTV must be connected to a computer for a brief moment during startup.

Note: The tethered boot steps described below are not required when using the latest 4.4.4 AppleTV software.

Note 2: The AppleTV MUST be disconnected from the computer (for at least a brief moment) after restoring in iTunes for the tethered boot process below to work properly.

Step 1: Open Seas0nPass and select the 'Boot Tethered' option.

Step 2: When prompted, connect the AppleTV to your computer via USB. Wait for the rapid flashing light then connect the power. Once both are connected hold both the 'MENU' and 'PLAY/PAUSE' buttons for 7 seven seconds.

Step 3: Seas0nPass will complete the tethered boot automatically. Once complete, remove the USB cable and connect the HDMI cable.

Note: Timing is key. Once the you receive the success message shown below, the USB cable should be removed and HDMI cable connected before the light on the front of the AppleTV stops flashing. (Don't worry there is ample to do this, so you don't need Superman speed).

[HOW-TO] - Jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 Untethered On iPhone3GS, iPhone4, iPhone4-CDMA, iPad1, iPod touch 3G, iPod touch 4G (A4 Devices) Using Redsn0w 0.9.10b1

Notes from Dev-Team:
Here are the basic steps for how to get it:

• The untether is for iOS 5.0.1 on iPhone3GS, iPhone4, iPhone4-CDMA, iPad1, iPod touch 3G, iPod touch 4G
• If you have one of those devices and are not on 5.0.1 yet, update now! The SHSH window is still open for 5.0.1 If you unlock via ultrasn0w or gevey, make sure you only get to 5.0.1 via a custom IPSW! See the guides at places like iClarified.com if you don’t know how. Once you’re at 5.0.1, use the latest redsn0w 0.9.10 to both jailbreak and untether.
• If you’re already at 5.0.1 with a tethered jailbreak, you have two choices: either run redsn0w 0.9.10 over your current jailbreak (deselect “Install Cydia” if you do that), or install the Cydia package prepared by the chronic devteam. The patches are the same regardless of which you choose.
• Some of you are using a hybrid 5.0/5.0.1 configuration. If so, do not attempt to install this untether over that setup! You will most likely get into a reboot cycle. Do a sync and fresh restore to 5.0.1 then install the jailbreak + untether.

For Users On Stock iOS 5.0.1:

If your device is running stock iOS 5.0.1 then you can use download the latest Redsn0w 0.9.10b1 to for either Windows or Mac to give yourself an untethered jailbreak, instructions for which can be found below.

Here are the redsn0w download links:

• redsn0w 0.9.10b1 for OS X
• redsn0w 0.9.10b1 for Windows (be sure to run in Administrator mode)

UPDATE (Dec. 30, 2011): 

Here are the redsn0w download links:

• redsn0w 0.9.10b3 for OS X
• redsn0w 0.9.10b3 for Windows (be sure to run in Administrator mode)

Step 1: Download the latest version of Redsn0w from the links given above.

Step 2: Start Redsn0w, select "Jailbreak" then check "Install Cydia". Follow the onscreen steps to place your device into DFU mode. Quickly hold “Power” button and then while holding the “Power” button, you will now have to hold “Home” button too. Now after few seconds release “Power” button but keep holding “Home” button until installation begins.

Step 3: Wait for Redsn0w to apply the full untethered jailbreak!

Once done, your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch will be rebooted into fully untethered jailbreak mode!

[Update] - Saurik helped Pod2G regarding iPhone 4S Untether Jailbreak iOS 5.0/5.01 (Before or After Xmas?)

• Pod2G was busy last Sunday to solve the untethered Jailbreak for iPhone 4S iOS 5.0/5.0.1 when he managed to get an iPhone 4S to test.
• However, on Dec. 19, 2011, he reported in his pod2g's Blog that the untether fails.
• But on Dec. 20, 2011, saurik, the iOS guru helped in solving one of the missing puzzle.
• How soon will we be able to get the Untethered Jailbreak? Is it before or after Xmas? or before New Year?
• See comments from pod2g's blog below.

New 

Hello.

Here are the news of the 4S week-end.
The untether fails right now because I'm having processor cache issues.
I'm close, but I can't figure out what happens. It certainly has something to do with the Cortex-A9 cache management.
I could sort it out quick, it's a matter of chance.
I'll report you my progress tomorrow.
BTW: I removed (sorry) the greetings messages so that only articles related to the jailbreak remain in the main page. AFAIK Blogger don't have the option to move or fusion messages while keeping the comments.
Ciao!

Tuesday, December 20, 2011
No more cache troublesOK, figured it out, the A5 cache is not a problem anymore.
I sorted it out by doing the untether in a single thread and by flushing all the dcache then all the icache in a row at a strategical point of the process.
It took me like a hundred of tests to find the key. Hard for the nerves.
For the tech guys, here is a link explaining issues related to self modifying code ( or code patching ) on the ARM platform : http://blogs.arm.com/software-enablement/141-caches-and-self-modifying-code/
Another news : I discussed with @saurik today about the launchd boot process, and he's found one missing piece of the puzzle I needed to have a perfectly stable jailbreak. He's definitly one of the best iOS gurus out there. Thank you saurik!

[SOURCE: Jailbreak iOS 4.3.1 Untethered with Redsn0w 0.9.6rc9 for iPhone /iPod Touch / iPad]

WARNING WARNING [Source: Dev Team] — ultrasn0w users don’t update yet!  We need to first release an update to ultrasn0w that fixes some incompatibilities when FW 4.3.1 is used on the older basebands supported by ultrasn0w.  And remember once we do fix ultrasn0w for 4.3.1 (we’ll announce it here and on twitter), you must only get there via a custom IPSW from PwnageTool, Sn0wbreeze or xpwn!  Don’t ever try to restore or update to a stock IPSW, or you’ll lose the unlock!
For everyone else, redsn0w is the easier program to use (and redsn0w runs on both Mac and Windows).  Please check out places like iClarified for some excellent guides on how to use both PwnageTool and redsn0w.

FOR MAC USERS
iPhone Dev Team has just released PwnageTool 4.3 to bring untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.3.1 with the help of i0n1c's untethered exploit. PwnageTool allows you to create full untethered iOS 4.3.1 custom firmware files. As you know PwnageTool is a Mac OS X tool, check out the supported devices after the jump.



Supported devices:
iPhone 4, 3GS iPod Touch 4G, 3G iPad 1 (Unfortunately iPad 2 still not supported) Apple TV 2G. Important 


Note: If you rely on ultrasn0w unlock, you MUST use this version of PwnageTool which creates custom 4.3.1 firmware with preserving the unlockable baseband to be able to unlock your iPhone again using ultrasn0w 1.2
