In your update today (5 Dec 2018) you included details for tvOS 12.1.1 but still don’t have the Apple TV 4K listed

Hello everyone

The new interface in ATV11 is terrible now "watched or unwatched, no information other than title and poster is available for any movie... All the info and imageless was formerly a "scroll through". I hate this interface and it takes twice as long (or longer, to find the movie i was looking for, but if I make the wrong selection the process starts again. I have 1670 movies on my ATV, nothing was wrong with the previous interface which allowed much quicker browsing and selection from the library. Reversion is futile as Apple will stop supporting TVOS 10.x soon, and unlike old computers this will wreck the system again. C'mob Apple... at least give us the option of interfaces. Make it usable over someone else's idea of "pretty".

The last IOS version for Applle TV 3 is 7.2.2

LOL, so glad I switched to Amazon fireTV last year. No more drama with JB and Kodi functionality. It just work as suppose to.

I like your amazing post.thanks for share this with us. Good and full of knowledge.

I cant downgrade ATV3 from 6.1 to 5.3, keep getting 3194 error...does downgrading actually work?

100th comment. :D I am so proud of myself with whatever I comment 24/7

Hi there I'm just about to purchase a 1st gen with a 300gig hd, it says version 2.4 though I will have to update this, will I be able to jailbreak once I've updated? Ty for any help

I hate iTunes and now I hate ATV along with some of the proprietary apple hardware. I hate losing iTunes libraries and I hate having to fix things every bloody time there is an iTunes update.

I love iTunes and I can't wait for Apple TV, never had issues with either.

All: you need to check to see if you have any saved shsh blobs / signatures / firmware on your apple tv. If not, then you cannot downgrade your firmware. Firmware 5.3 now available for untethering via season pass http://blog.firecore.com

i got an apple tv for xmas its running 6.0.2 how do i know which firmare i need from the 3 listed there i guess i need to know what generation of apple tv i have

I just got an Apple TV2 running 5.3 which should allow a tethered JB, can I downgrade to 5.2 or similar to get an untethered JB? Can I use the 5.2.0 firmware above to do this?

6.0.0 v2 (ATV 3 New): AppleTV3,2_6.0_11A502_Restore.ipsw Download link not working!

WEF. You made my day

how do i break an apple tv3?? what doi need to do

Grab a hammer

Give it to me if you literally mean break it.

When it is updating, unplug it.

Hahahaa..LoL

I just got apple tv2 with 4.3, anyway i can update to 5.2 and jailbreak?

I updated my Apple TV firmware today June 21 (to 5.2.1?). Please can somebody tell me how to roll it back to the previous version?

I currently have the firmware 4.4.4 I would like to update it to 5.0.2 firmware. How can i do that or can i??? directions would be great. Thanks

You need to donload an older version of ITunes,the newest version of ITunes doesnt alowe software downgrades.I recoment Itunes 10.6 or 10.7. Install Tip:Install ITunes. Go to the Start Button (lower Left Corner of your monitor) and search for iTunes Library.itl. Delete this Item. ITunes should now work normalley.If you dont do this,ITunes will prevent the software downgrade.

He's not randomly posting it. The lasting version of the Apple TV software has rendered Home Sharing and other features useless for a lot of people. So he's trying to help.

A million tanhks for posting this information.

I currently have the firmware 4.1.1 on my Apple TV2. I would like to update it to 4.3 firmware. Does anyone know if I can do this manually to my Apple TV2??? Any directions would be great. Thanks

Good job man.

I wonder if the firmware builds are generation specific like they are with the iOS devices. I have an Apple TV (1 year old) from previous generation; could I deploy this new 4.2.0 AppleTV software to it? Does it have a different version of 4.2.0 for the older generations?

No, it is a totally different platform.

Wow its nice I agree with you.

May be I am too Dummy - how do I get an old image (3.0.1) on ma Apple TV - I used ATVCloner - started the image dmg and go an osboot drive - using this as source drive I only get two filre (efi and recovery) boot.img is missing. Then I tried using the inage fie itself as boot.img (renamed it) - but the result was an empty atv drive... - or is there an easier way to install a firmawar?? thanks in advance.

I need the same Help.. Please help someone. get Recovery and Efi dmg I need the boot too. anyone

The location for the latest firmware 3.0.1 http://mesu.apple.com/data/OS/061-7491.20091107.TVA31/2Z694-6004-003.dmg

With the latest firmw , I don't found the xmbc directory after patch reboot , with the 2,4 firmware all is ok... Any ideas? tnx

so, if you create the patchstick with 3.0.1 firmware (from iClarified) and install with Apple TV (already upgraded to 3.0.1), the install process is smooth but nothing works except that you see "Software Menu" and if you click on any menu item, nothing happens! So i factory restored my Apple TV to 2.0 and used an older firmware 2.x to create the the patchstick and it works like a charm.

Can you update to 3.0.1 after? Or do you have to stick with 2.4 for it to work? I am having the same issue with the "Software Menu". I wonder if there is going to be a fix for this soon...

i also have same problem

The link for firmware 3.0.0 is no longer valid

come faccio a scaricare 3.0.0: 2Z694-5789-067.dmg

i can't download 3.0.0: 2Z694-5789-067.dmg please a new link

will there be any update for 3.01

thanx

need firmware 3.0

This dmg didn't work for me. I loaded it on my ATV and it was still at 2.4

Anyone have direct link to the 3.0.1 firmware?

Im trying to find the OS-dot-DMG 1.0.dmg, i have found it via rapidshare, but its two files ending with OS-dot-DMG 1.0.dmg.MD.zip .001 and OS-dot-DMG 1.0.dmg.MD.zip .002. Can anyone help me how to combine this files, i dont understand how. Or even better, if there is any other place to download the OS-dot-DMG 1.0.dmg file, need this to get the file sharing working in atv 3.0 Nito. Thanks.

.001 and .002 extentions are for hjsplit. Do a search for that and use it to join the 2 files together.

When attempting to create the ATV USB drive it stalls on the second, "copy files to target disk." I've tried three USB drives. Any help? Here's the text: 2Z694-5660-029-1.dmg selected Extracting boot.efi ... Extracting recovery seed ... extracting atv_recv.zip Creating USB Flash Disk... umount_disk settling delay (10 seconds) partition the target disk umount_disk settling delay (10 seconds) install recovery onto target disk copy files to target disk

3.0 Release here http://mesu.apple.com/data/OS/061-6795.20091029.Vbgtr/2Z694-5789-067.dmg

This 404 is driving me crazy. I've tried using the mesu.apple link that has been mentioned here and on a few other sites but my mac cannot access it. For whatever reason it's a dead link on my PC. Anyone else having this same problem?

When I download the dmg file on my Mac it converts the dmg into what it calls OSBoot. This of course isn't recognised by the atvusb-creator as it's only looking for a dmg file and given that the OSBoot file contains a few other things how do I get the straight dmg file? Look forward to a solution.

looks like 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3.1 were all recently taken down, 2.3 is still up for some reason although i doubt it will be for much longer once they realize the oversite.

scratch that, 2.3 is gone now too.

Does any one know where you can d/l then.

Has any one got a signature file for version 2.1? I'm trying to downgrade to 2.1 via replacing the image atv has downloaded for 2.4 with 2.1 (do have the image), but seems as if the update process checks the signature

Any word on 2.4.1?

Here is the link for 2.4 http://mesu.apple.com/data/OS/061-6242.20090624.Aq20P/2Z694-5660-029.dmg

Anyone has a link to 2.4?

I found it. It's http://mesu.apple.com/data/OS/061-6242.20090624.Aq20P/2Z694-5660-029.dmg

Great Thanks!
