How to Jailbreak Apple TV 2nd Gen as of 3/17/12 Almost all Android devices have these as part of their chargers and this is what I used. NOTE 3: You need a micro USB to standard USB cable. NOTE 2: You must use Windows for this method to work! SHSH Blobs are specific to only your device. You need the SHSH Blobs to sign custom firmwares (like the jailbreak hack below) otherwise, iTunes will not restore this custom firmware. If you let iTunes upgrade you to 5.0, there is no current jailbreak or downgrade to 4.4.4 without SHSH blobs. NOTE 1: From everything I’ve read, you need to make sure you have firmware 4.4.4 and not 5.0. When it checks legitimacy of firmwares, it will reject ones created without the signed unit unique SHSH blobs embedded. This means that iTunes no longer recognizes 4.4.4 as official. Most methods written in the last few weeks and days didn’t work for me and tons of other commenters all over the web because of Apple no longer signing firmwares from their website. I’m watching my network shares on XBMC as I write this. Finding an Apple TV 2 in-stock was a chore in itself as the Apple TV 3 was just released.

If you run into any troubles, check out the support pages of Firecore, the makers of the Seas0npass app.UPDATE 4/2/12 – If you have updated to AppleTV 5.0, there is now a jailbreak method and XBMC available.
