How to jailbreak Apple TV 2 5.0.2 using Seas0nPass

If your Apple TV 2 is still running iOS 5.0.2 (iOS 5.1.1) here is a quick guide to get it jailbroken.

Before you start make sure you are running the latest version of iTunes and download FireCore‘s Seas0nPass.

Step 1: Unzip the ‘Seas0nPass.zip’ file and launch Seas0nPass.

Step 2: Select the ‘Create IPSW’ button

Step 3: The latest Apple TV software will be downloaded and a custom ‘jailbroken’ file created.

Step 4: When prompted, connect your Apple TV using a micro-USB cable you may need to leave the power disconnected.
Once the light on the front of the Apple TV begins to flash rapidly, point the remote at the AppleTV and hold both the MENU and PLAY/PAUSE buttons for 7 seven seconds.
This step will require the silver (aluminium) Apple TV remote that was included with the ATV2. The older, white (plastic) remotes will not work.

Step 5: iTunes will open automatically and restore using the jailbroken file that was created.

Step 6: iTunes will confirm when complete and your Apple TV should be jailbroken.

To confirm the jailbreak was successful a (temporary) red FC logo will appear in the lower right corner of the Apple TV home screen.
