NOTE If anything goes wrong you can restore to a factory default using iTunes

Use the USB connection without the power cable plugged in for a restore

(For iOS 4.3.1 or 4.4.4 see Jailbreak then proceed to Step 6)

Download GreenPois0n RC6.1 for Mac or Windows

The Mac version is a lot easier to use than the Windows version

Step 1: Run GreenPois0n and click “Yes” when it prompts for jailbreaking Apple TV

Step 2: Connect your Apple® TV 2G to your computer using a micro USB cable

Windows version: Click on “Prepare to Jailbreak (DFU)”  Goto Step 3:

Mac Version: Follow the on screen instructions Keep the power plugged in Skip Step 3:

Step 3: Windows Version (Continued) Follow the following onscreen instructions to enter DFU mode:

     Plug the Apple® TV in to a USB port (Wait 7 seconds)

     Plug in the power adapter (Remove after 3 seconds)

     Press and hold MENU and PLAY (7 seconds)

     Release both buttons

Step 4: GreenPois0n will start “Jailbreaking” the Apple® TV 2G. The process will take 3+ minutes to complete on a PC (less then a minute on Mac). Leave it plugged into the USB for 1+ minutes before disconnecting it.

Step 5: Your Apple® TV should now be successfully jailbroken. Once done, unplug the USB from your computer and connect your HDMI TV/monitor. Navigate to “greenpois0n” menu and select “Inject Software” option to install Cydia package. Make sure you have it connected to the Internet with the ethernet cable.

(To reboot navigate to nitoTV > Settings > Reboot AppleTV)

Step 6: SSH console (Putty) (Your Apple TV® IP) CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD !! passwd

(default login is root password is alpine) Note only the first 8 password characters are recognized
