Hi all,

I have 2x Apple TV 2.
One is on FW 4.3, the other on 5.0.2.
They have never been JB, and so I am looking at doing this now.

Could someone please provide some clarity into the process, I ask as I figure Apple no longer signs the FW that I am on for both, so is it still possible to JB with seas0npass?

Lets say that it is possible, is it then possible to update to 5.3 jb? Thanks all

Ive seen the guide, however was unsure how it works, as the guide states it will download the latest version of fw.. however both of my Apple TV 2's are not the latest version

It automatically updates to the latest jailbreakable FW which is 5.3

So managed to JB them both. Perfect!

Only thing I couldnt do is saved the blobs for them now that they are at 5.3

Do you have AppleTV 1 or 2 ?
There is no jailbreak for AppleTV 3.
