Continue reading and you’ll be watching XBMC on your Jailbroken Apple TV 2 within the hour! It might seem a bit complicated by looks, but it’s actually easy as waking up in the morning.
COMPLETE GUIDE TO INSTALLING XBMC ON THE APPLE TV 2 RUNNING 5.2 OR LOWER WITH IFAITH BLOBS, AND CONFIGURE WITH THE WIZARD ADDON
Requirements
◾Apple TV 2 Device (Running Firmware Version 5.2 or Lower)
◾Micro USB Cable (or BlackBerry Data Cable)
◾Latest Version of iTunes Installed
PART 1 – THE JAILBREAK
- IMPORTANT: It would probably be a very good idea to check what version firmware your Apple TV 2 is running before you begin following this guide. You can easily do so by plugging it into your television set and navigating to the “Settings” then “General” followed by the “About” menu and take note of the “Apple TV Software” field.
Step 1: Download and Unzip the “Seas0nPass 0.9.2 Beta with iFaith Signatures” application to your computer, there is a Mac Version and Windows Version available.
Step 2: Plug the Apple TV 2 into your computer with the “Micro USB Cable” only. If you don’t see the light at the front of the device slowly flashing at this point, you’ll want to unplug it from the Micro USB Cable then plug in the Electrical Power Supply to the device for ten seconds, then unplug the the Electricity and replug the Micro USB Cable before continuing.
Step 3: Launch the “Seas0nPass 0.9.2 Beta with iFaith Signatures” application you just downloaded in the first step.
Step 4: Go to the “Help” menu at the top of your screen and choose the “Dump iFaith Device blob…” function for Mac Users from the dropdown list. Windows Users should Right-Click on the “Create IPSW” button and choose the “Save firmware signatures…” function instead.
Step 6: Press and Hold both the “MENU” and “PLAY/PAUSE” buttons at the same time on your remote control for 12 seconds when prompted to Enter DFU Mode.
Step 7: You’ll now have to wait about a minute for the process to complete, don’t touch anything.
Step 9: Plug your Apple TV 2 device back into your computer using the “Micro USB Cable” only again. If you don’t see the light at the front of the device slowly flashing at this point, you’ll want to unplug it from the Micro USB Cable then plug in the Electrical Power Supply to the device for ten seconds, then unplug the the Electricity and replug the Micro USB Cable before continuing.
Step 10: Re-Launch the “Seas0nPass 0.9.2 Beta with iFaith Signatures” application on your computer.
Step 11: Right-Click on the “Create IPSW” button and choose the same version firmware your device was running previously, which you should have noted from the “About” menu on the Apple TV 2 connected to your television before you started following this guide. We’re using “5.0.2 9B830″ for this example, be sure to use the correct one for your device or it won’t work.
Step 12: When prompted, Press and Hold both the “MENU” and “PLAY/PAUSE” buttons on your remote control at the same time in order to Enter DFU Mode.
Step 13: Wait for the process to complete, don’t touch anything while it automatically launches iTunes for the jailbroken firmware restoration.
Step 14: You’ll receive an iTunes prompt notifying you that the device has been successfully restored once complete, you can now press “OK” and unplug your device as well as Exit the Seas0nPass application.
- NOTE: If you’re having issues restoring in iTunes, first make sure you’re running the latest version of iTunes and if that still doesn’t work, install TinyUmbrella before restarting from the beginning.
Step 15: Plug the Apple TV into your television with the HDMI and power source connected. Turn your television on at this point and make sure the right “Input” is connected for the HDMI input you’re using.
Step 16: Choose your desired language. We’re going to go with “English” for obvious reasons.
Step 17: Select your wireless internet connection then enter your internet security key. Wired ethernet users can skip this step.
Step 18: When prompted to share information with Apple, choose the “No Thanks” option.
Step 19: Verify that the “Settings” icon is coloured Red and displays the “FC” logo on it. Should it be grey, you’ll need to start over from the beginning of this guide.
Step 20: Click on the “Settings” icon, then go to the “Audio & Video” tab, then click on “Audio Output” once until it changes to the “16 bit” setting.
Step 21: Press the “MENU” button on your remote to go back one level and click on the “General” settings tab, then scroll down to “Time Zone” and click twice to toggle “Set Automatically” to be enabled.
Step 22: Press the “MENU” button on your remote once, then scroll up to the “About” tab.
