Hi guys,

I have tried to jailbreak my atv2 and install xbmc but I'm having no luck! It may be because the atv is running iOS 5 and I do not know how to revert to an older version?

Can anyone offer some help please or even better is anyone willing to do it for me? :) I'm based in Midrand/Sandton.

Thanks
 
Thanks

I read up on the tethered jailbreak, apparently it does not support xbmc yet? Unfortunately I got the atv with 5.0 already installed :(
 
That's what I hear too. I'm stuck with that now, I've been waiting for the ATV to come with 1080p, and now that it does, I can't run XBMC on it (yet). Without XBMC I have little use for it, since I don't consume any video from the iTunes store, couldn't care less about NFL, and have NetFlix on the XBox.
 
So I discovered that xbmc is available on ios5.0

However I'm having problems with the tethered jailbreak. The restore in iTunes returns an error. The guide I have been using from the xbmc wiki page says if that happens to restart the entire process... Tried this and still get the error :(

Does anyone hopefully have a fix for this? Anything I can try? Thanks
 
So I successfully managed to jailbreak my atv2! Untethered! :D

Was about to attempt the xbmc install (apparently it's now supported on ios5.0) but unfortunately the download link is down at the moment... Eager to give it a bash once it's up again. Hopefully it works!
 
Check out the xbmc wiki page... There's a tutorial for installing on iOS 5. And I used the latest version of season pass.

Now I'm having a problem setting up smb share... I either get error 2: share not available, or nothing shows up under network locations. Google has not helped yet :(
