Seas0nPass is the go-to Jailbreaking tool for the Apple TV. If you are planning on Jailbreaking your Apple TV then it is recommended that you use Seas0nPass, even though other Jailbreaking tools like Absinthe do indeed support the Apple TV.

The only difference between Seas0nPass and other Jailbreaking tools is that Seas0nPass creates a pre-Jailbreak iOS firmware (IPSW) that must be restored to your Apple TV. Although this means you are restoring your Apple TV to factory settings, as very little information is stored on the Apple TV, this is not as bad as having to restore the iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad.
Step 1: Download the latest version of aTV Flash from your account. Step 2: Open the DMG and drag the application to your Applications folder. Step 3: When running the aTV Flash Installer you will be prompted to select the flash drive you wish to use from the drop down menu. Step 4: The flash drive will be erased during installation. Step 1: Download the latest version of aTV Flash (black) from your account. Step 2: Mac: Open the DMG and double-click the installer. Windows: Double-click the downloaded.exe file to extract the files, then locate the installer in the aTV Flash (black) folder (usually found on the Desktop). ATV Flash (xbmc edition) is finely tuned, optimized for speed, and provides a complete replacement for the standard Apple TV software. The new version is different from the original aTV Flash (silver): while the older version installs add-ons alongside the native Apple TV software, aTV Flash (xbmc edition) replaces the Apple TV software entirely. Aug 28, 2015 We’ve covered aTV Flash (black) plenty of times in the past, and it continues to be one of the reasons for owning (and holding on to) an Apple TV 2. This latest update to aTV Flash (black) brings the version number up to 2.6, and adds YouTube functionality back into the mix.
SeasonPass was created and is maintained by the FireCore Dev-Team. These are the same developers behind the most popular Jailbroken extension for the Apple TV – aTV Flash (black) and also MiRow for Mac OS X. You will also be glad to know that Seas0nPass is also cross-compatible with both Mac OS X and Windows. In the past some Jailbreaking tools have been operating system specific, and this really limited the userbase of that said tool. Seas0nPass is always available for both Mac OS X and Windows at the same time, so no usergroup is left in the dark.

Seas0nPass Firmware Compatibility
Seas0nPass is compatible with almost all firmware versions of the Apple TV 2G. Unfortunately at this time the 1080p Apple TV 3G and new Apple TV 4G is not supported, but it is being worked on by FireCore at this very moment. You can take a look at the firmware versions Seas0nPass currently supports below. Keep in mind that we will update the Seas0nPass compatibility chart when new versions of Seas0nPass are released to ensure it is always up to date.

How To Download Seas0nPass
Seas0nPass is maintained and developed by a group of developers by the name of FireCore. As such you can always find the latest version of Seas0nPass from their website. iJailbreak also maintains a downloads section that always contains the latest version of SeasonPass. You can visit the iJailbreak Downloads Section and download the version of Seas0nPass that is bold. This signifies that it is the latest version.
The Basics Of Seas0nPass
SeasonPass is a Jailbreaking tool that forces your Apple TV to be restored to a pre-Jailbroken IPSW that it creates. As such you Apple TV will return to factory settings once the Jailbreaking process finishes. As mentioned previously, because content is not stored on your Apple TV, this is not as big of a deal as restoring an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad would be.
The difference between a Tethered and Untethered Jailbreak
There are two types of Jailbreaks available when you go to Jailbreak Apple TV – a Tethered Jailbreak or an Untethered Jailbreak. An Untethered Jailbreak means that your Apple TV will function as normal once Jailbroken. A Tethered Jailbreak on the other hand is different. It means that when you Jailbreak you cannot power your Apple TV off. When you do this while your Jailbreak is Tethered it means in order for your Apple TV to turn back on you will need to plug it into the computer and re-run Seas0nPass over again. Once you do this your Apple TV functions as normal… no data is lost. Hence the term tethered, because you are Tethered to your computer.
Now why would a Jailbreak be Tethered? Well the only reason a Jailbreak would be Tethered is if the developers behind the Jailbreak for a specific firmware version are having a hard time Jailbreaking it. If this is the case often times they will release a Tethered Jailbreak and then an Untethered Jailbreak later on once they find a suitable exploit.
How to launch Seas0nPass correctly
Seas0nPass needs the proper permissions to run on both Windows and Mac OS X correctly. If you are running Seas0nPass on Windows you will need to ensure you grant it administrative privileges by right clicking it and selecting the run as administrator option. On Mac OS X Mountain Lion, because of the new Gatekeeper software, there is also a trick to running Seas0nPass. You will need to first hold down the control button and then select the open option.
How To Jailbreak With Seas0nPass
Now that you understand the basics of Seas0nPass you can actually use Seas0nPass to Jailbreak your Apple TV. iJailbreak has written numerous guides for Jailbreaking your Apple TV with Seas0nPass that can be accessed from the How To Jailbreak Section. These guides include screenshots, and are specific to each firmware version Seas0nPass supports. As the Jailbreaking process with Seas0nPass is essentially the same for all firmware versions however, you can follow the generalized guide below as well.
- The first thing you will need to do is download Seas0nPass. As mentioned previously this can be done from the iJailbreak Downloads Section.
- Launch Seas0nPass; keeping in mind the points discussed previously on how to launch Seas0nPass correctly on both Mac OS X and Windows.
- Once you have launched Seas0nPass click the Create IPSW button and the latest Apple TV software will be downloaded and used to create a pre-Jailbroken IPSW.
- When you are asked to plug your Apple TV into you computer via the micro-USB cable, do this now and then follow the on-screen instructions for putting your Apple TV into DFU mode. When you successfully enter DFU mode on your Apple TV iTunes will automatically begin the restoration process. When iTunes finishes restoring your Apple TV then your Apple TV has been Jailbroken (to confirm this you should see a temporary FC logo in place of the Settings icon).
- If your Apple TV was Jailbroken tethered then you will need to disconnect your Apple TV from your computer, launch Seas0nPass again and click the Boot Tethered button. Then simply follow the rest of the 0n-screen instructions.
Seas0nPass is the best tool for Jailbreaking the Apple TV and hopefully this in-depth analysis has gotten you more comfortable with using Seas0nPass. Once your Apple TV is Jailbroken you will want to install aTV Flash (black), which can be purchased from the FireCore website.
How to Hack your Original AppleTV 1G (Updated for XBMC v11 and Mac OS X 10.8)
I bought and hacked my “Silver” AppleTV over 2 years ago, on the day Apple announced the “new” black AppleTV (2nd generation). They have serve me very well, and are still going strong. But after all these times, I felt the set in my Living Room needed a refresh. Somehow XBMC dies whenever I leave it idling for a while. So off I went to restore it and re-hack it, reading my own how-to as I go along since I’ve forgotten how to do it.
Much to my horror, 2 years is a long time and the USB stick failed to be created in Mountain Lion! So I went looking for answers on how to hack my original AppleTV in Mac OS X 10.8.2. Well, I’m glad it’s still possible, and here I detail the how-to. This time around, however, I’m not spoon-feeding you with very detailed instructions, but I hope it’s still easy enough for most of you.
Preparing the ATV USB Stick in Mac OS X 10.8
- Download atvusb-creator-1.0.b13.zip from here.
- Unzip it.
- Right-click on the atvusb-creator app, and select “Show Package Contents” from the pop-up menu.
- Navigate to /Contents/MacOS/atvusb-creator
- Drag & drop the “atvusb-creator” executable file into your Terminal.app (it’s in your OS X “/Application/Utilities” folder).
- Hit Enter to launch the app into OS X, and follow Step 2 of this guide to create the USB stick. Come back here after that to start hacking your AppleTV.

Preparing the AppleTV by Restoring it to Factory Condition
- Press and hold the Menu+Down buttons until the white LED turns amble, to go into Restore mode.
- Select Factory Restore.
- After restoring, set up and sync your AppleTV with iTunes, making sure everything works as it should.
- (Optional) Setup Network, changing it from DHCP to Manual, if necessary.

Hacking it
- Switch off the AppleTV, and plug-in the ATV USB Stick you created earlier.
- Switch it on, and watch a bunch of text scrolling by the TV screen. Hacking is done when text has stopped scrolling, in no more than a minute or so.
- (Crucial Step) Switch off the AppleTV, and unplug the ATV USB Stick.
- Switch it on again.
It’s hacked; you’ll see a new menu item “Launcher” in Frontrow.
Installing XBMC
(Read this post to find out if you need, and how to set up MySQL on your Mac OS X.)
Before we install XBMC, let’s save some time while we are downloading XBMC later on by copying the following two large files into ~/frontrow/Documents . The files are required for the Smart Installer we will run later on.
- MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.9Intel.dmg, and
Select “XBMC 11.x – Eden”, from Launcher -> Downloads
Update Launcher after that.
(Good news) If you have XBMC v11 on another machine, you can simply copy the contents of the two following folders over. That saves you the trouble to re-setup everything! Just make some changes to identify the new setup.
- ~/frontrow/Library/Application Support/XBMC/addons/, and
- ~/frontrow/Library/Application Support/XBMC/userdata/
Enjoy your XBMC!

(Optional) Installing nitoTV
nitoTV lets me mount my remote afp drives at my MacBook Pro where I keep my collection of multimedia files. It is also required if you want to attach a USB hard disk to your AppleTV USB input.
Open Terminal on your computer, ssh into your AppleTV, and enter the following commands (one line at a time):

- wget http://nitosoft.com/nitoTVInstaller_tt.zip
- unzip nitoTVInstaller_tt.zip
- cd “nitoTV Take Three”/
- sudo ./installme
- After rebooting, install & run Smart Installer in nitoTV->Settings->Install Software->Smart Installer
- DO NOT install Perian via nitoTV. It breaks up the Intro Movie! We don’t need Perian in XBMC anyway (i think).
- Update NitoTV (0.9.5 to 1.0)
- (Optional) Change Hostname and Set Time Zone in NitoTV->Settings->General.
- (Optional) Setup auto-mount remote drives in nitoTV->Network
- (Optional) Change HDMI Output to RGB High, AppleTV->Settings->Audio & Video
- (Optional) Make & copy Symbolic Link to Thumbnails in “userdata”.
(Optional) Installing Maintenance (for Overflow)
Firecore’s ATV Flash has a nice add-on that lets me install Overflow easily, now that Software Menu is broken and I can’t install it the old way. Unfortunately Firecore deliberately put an expiry date on the ATV Flash installer I paid for. I’m not going into their lame excuses which I find unacceptable. Since I can copy a component from my expired copy, I’m not going to waste my time looking for my registration details and contacting Firecore again for an updated installer.
- Right-click on aTV Flash and select “Show Package Contents”.
- Navigate to Contents/Resources/root/Contents/maint/
- Copy Maintenance.frappliance into /~frontrow
- ssh into your AppleTV and issue the following commands:
- sudo mount -uw /
- sudo mv Maintenance.frappliance /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/PlugIns
- sudo chmod 755 /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/PlugIns/Maintenance.frappliance/Contents/Resources/mHelper
- sudo chmod +s /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/PlugIns/Maintenance.frappliance/Contents/Resources/mHelper
- sudo mount -ur /
- sudo reboot
Install Overflow, in Maintenance->Manage Plugins
(Optional) I don’t like Boxee
I don’t know about you but I never liked Boxee because its interface overwhelms me. I could never figure out what it really offers. Therefore I like to get rid of it from my AppleTV, by removing its logo in Frontrow and its entry in Launcher, and finally renaming Launcher to XBMC. Voila, bye bye Boxee.

Here’s a zip file containing the replacement Launcher logo, and two files edited to reflect above. Simply transfer them to ~/frontrow, ssh into your AppleTV, and type the following commands in Terminal.
- sudo mount -uw /
- sudo mv Preview.png /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/PlugIns/XBMCLauncher.frappliance/Contents/Resources/
- sudo mv Info.plist /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/PlugIns/XBMCLauncher.frappliance/Contents/
- sudo mv InfoPlist.strings /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/PlugIns/XBMCLauncher.frappliance/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/
- sudo mount -ur /
- sudo reboot
