If you are an AppleTV user you probably know that there are no AppleTV specific jailbreak tools available for you to use – well that is until today when Firecore released Seas0nPass.
Seas0nPass was created exclusively for the AppleTV user, as previously no AppleTV specific jailbreak tools were available. Seas0nPass allows you to easily create custom AppleTV IPSW files and restore them in iTunes (similar to the existing Pwnage Tool app). Also included is a simple ‘tethered boot’ option which aids in using newer AppleTV firmwares when an ‘un-tethered’ jailbreak is not yet available.
Here is the information on Seas0nPass:
What can I do with Seas0nPass?
- Jailbreak the AppleTV with the latest 4.1.1 (iOS 4.2.1) software.
- Easily perform a ‘tethered boot’ (when necessary).
What is the difference between a ‘tethered’ and ‘un-tethered’ jailbreak?
A tethered jailbreak requires the AppleTV to be connected to a computer for a brief moment during startup. An un-tethered jailbreak removes this restriction. Un-tethered jailbreaks are are a bit more complex and take more time to complete.
How much does Seas0nPass cost?
Seas0nPass is available as a free download – no strings attached.
What are the minimum requirements?
Mac: OSX 10.6 or later
Windows: coming soon
Can I use this on my iPhone, iPad, or other iOS device?
Nope. Seas0nPass is designed exclusively for the 2nd gen AppleTV.
Sounds great! Where can I download it?
The Seas0nPass app, and user guides can be found at Seas0nPass.com
NOTE: Currently the jailbreak for the 4.1.1 (iOS 4.2.1) software is ‘tethered’. A tethered jailbreak requires the AppleTV to be connected to a computer for a brief moment during startup.
I’m going to try this shortly and will report back on how easy it is to use.
Have you tried it or are you going to try it? Let us know what you think…..
