FireCore has updated Seas0nPass and aTV Flash to Jailbreak Apple TV 2 on Apple TV firmware 5.3. Apple TV firmware 5.3 is equivalent to iOS 6.1.4, released back in June.

Today we're excited to announce the release of new versions of aTV Flash (black) and Seas0nPass that allow for an untethered jailbreak of Apple TV 5.3 (ATV2 only). Big thanks goes out to @iH8sn0w, @winocm, and @SquiffyPwn for their help with the new version of Seas0nPass. Additionally, there has been some encouraging progress made on Apple TV 6.0+ thanks to our friends @evad3rs and @nitoTV, and we hope to have more news available soon.

What's new in 2.4?
● Added support for untethered Apple TV 5.3
● Improved reliability of installation process
● Improved diagnostic reporting
● Other various fixes and improvements

Those who are not on 5.3 should not worry, as Apple is still signing Apple TV firmware 5.3! You can download that firmware from here. The team is however working on getting the untether working on the latest Apple TV firmware (6.0.2), but it is proving to be a challenge. Please note this is ONLY for the Apple TV 2nd generation (720p version).

You can find instructions on how to jailbreak your device with Seas0nPass here: Windows, Mac.
