How to Jailbreak your Apple TV2 with Seas0npass – Brief Tutorial

Seas0nPass will jailbreak your Apple TV2 by creating a custom firmware file, which you will then use to restore your unit with via iTunes.

Checklist:
Seas0nPass for Mac [10.6 or later]
Seas0nPass for Windows [XP or later]
microUSB cable
The latest version of iTunes (IMPORTANT)

1. Open Seas0nPass.
2. Select ‘Create IPSW’. The latest Apple TV firmware file will download and the custom firmware will be created.

3. Prepare for ‘DFU mode’ and follow the onscreen instructions to connect your Apple TV to your computer via the microUSB cable.

Once the light on the front of the AppleTV begins to flash rapidly, point the remote at the AppleTV and hold both the MENU and PLAY/PAUSE buttons for 7 seven seconds.

4. iTunes will open and then begin the restore process. After it’s completed if you see the temporary Firecore logo in the bottom right, you’ve done it all correctly.

That’s it! Let us know how this brief tutorial works for you. Thanks to the Firecore team for the update and to pod2g for the untether.

Before you can install Kodi on your second generation Apple TV, it will have to be jailbroken. This process is fairly straight forward and hasn’t changed in years now. Once you’ve jailbroken your Apple TV 2, you’ll be able to install apps like Kodi and nitoTV. Unfortunately, not much exists in terms of apps for the jailbroken Apple TV 2, so you’ll likely be sticking to Kodi. The Apple TV 2 is much simpler to jailbreak than other Apple devices.

Seas0nPass is jailbreak tool created specifically for jailbreaking the Apple TV 2 device. It was created by nitoTV for the Firecore company and is available free of charge. Unlike other Apple devices, there has only ever been the one jailbreak tool, Seas0nPass, for jailbreaking the Apple TV 2 device. The process is pretty straight forward, so once you have Seas0nPass you should have your Apple TV 2 jailbroken in no time.

Required: Apple TV 2, Micro-USB Cable, and the Latest Version of iTunes

SeasonPass for Apple TV 2

Download Seas0nPass for Mac

Download Seas0nPass for Windows

Step 1: Unzip the Seas0nPass.zip file you just download, then launch the Seas0nPass application.

Step 2: Click on the Create IPSW button to begin the jailbreak process.

Step 3: When prompted, connect the Apple TV 2 device to your computer using a Micro-USB cable, without connecting the power cable, then point your silver Apple TV remote at your device and hold both the MENU button and PLAY/PAUSE button at the same time for seven seconds.

Step 4: Wait a couple of minutes for Seas0nPass to jailbreak the Apple TV 2 device.

Step 5: Press the Done button once notified that the Apple TV 2 firmware is successfully restored.

Step 6: Connect the Apple TV 2 device to your television and follow the on-screen instructions.

Step 7: Click on the Settings icon which should display the letters FC in red.

Step 8: Navigate to the Audio & Video settings tab, then change the Audio output field to the 16 bit option, and you’re done!

The difficult part is over, now that you’ve jailbroken your Apple TV 2, the next step would be to install Kodi for Apple TV 2.

Seas0nPass is the go-to Jailbreaking tool for the Apple TV. If you are planning on Jailbreaking your Apple TV then it is recommended that you use Seas0nPass, even though other Jailbreaking tools like Absinthe do indeed support the Apple TV.

The only difference between Seas0nPass and other Jailbreaking tools is that Seas0nPass creates a pre-Jailbreak iOS firmware (IPSW) that must be restored to your Apple TV. Although this means you are restoring your Apple TV to factory settings, as very little information is stored on the Apple TV, this is not as bad as having to restore the iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad.

SeasonPass was created and is maintained by the FireCore Dev-Team. These are the same developers behind the most popular Jailbroken extension for the Apple TV – aTV Flash (black) and also MiRow for Mac OS X. You will also be glad to know that Seas0nPass is also cross-compatible with both Mac OS X and Windows. In the past some Jailbreaking tools have been operating system specific, and this really limited the userbase of that said tool. Seas0nPass is always available for both Mac OS X and Windows at the same time, so no usergroup is left in the dark.

Seas0nPass Firmware Compatibility

Seas0nPass is compatible with almost all firmware versions of the Apple TV 2G. Unfortunately at this time the 1080p Apple TV 3G and new Apple TV 4G is not supported, but it is being worked on by FireCore at this very moment. You can take a look at the firmware versions Seas0nPass currently supports below. Keep in mind that we will update the Seas0nPass compatibility chart when new versions of Seas0nPass are released to ensure it is always up to date.

How To Download Seas0nPass

Seas0nPass is maintained and developed by a group of developers by the name of FireCore. As such you can always find the latest version of Seas0nPass from their website. iJailbreak also maintains a downloads section that always contains the latest version of SeasonPass. You can visit the iJailbreak Downloads Section and download the version of Seas0nPass that is bold. This signifies that it is the latest version.

The Basics Of Seas0nPass

SeasonPass is a Jailbreaking tool that forces your Apple TV to be restored to a pre-Jailbroken IPSW that it creates. As such you Apple TV will return to factory settings once the Jailbreaking process finishes. As mentioned previously, because content is not stored on your Apple TV, this is not as big of a deal as restoring an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad would be.

The difference between a Tethered and Untethered Jailbreak

There are two types of Jailbreaks available when you go to Jailbreak Apple TV – a Tethered Jailbreak or an Untethered Jailbreak. An Untethered Jailbreak means that your Apple TV will function as normal once Jailbroken. A Tethered Jailbreak on the other hand is different. It means that when you Jailbreak you cannot power your Apple TV off. When you do this while your Jailbreak is Tethered it means in order for your Apple TV to turn back on you will need to plug it into the computer and re-run Seas0nPass over again. Once you do this your Apple TV functions as normal… no data is lost. Hence the term tethered, because you are Tethered to your computer.

Now why would a Jailbreak be Tethered? Well the only reason a Jailbreak would be Tethered is if the developers behind the Jailbreak for a specific firmware version are having a hard time Jailbreaking it. If this is the case often times they will release a Tethered Jailbreak and then an Untethered Jailbreak later on once they find a suitable exploit.

How to launch Seas0nPass correctly

Seas0nPass needs the proper permissions to run on both Windows and Mac OS X correctly. If you are running Seas0nPass on Windows you will need to ensure you grant it administrative privileges by right clicking it and selecting the run as administrator option. On Mac OS X Mountain Lion, because of the new Gatekeeper software, there is also a trick to running Seas0nPass. You will need to first hold down the control button and then select the open option.

How To Jailbreak With Seas0nPass

Now that you understand the basics of Seas0nPass you can actually use Seas0nPass to Jailbreak your Apple TV. iJailbreak has written numerous guides for Jailbreaking your Apple TV with Seas0nPass that can be accessed from the How To Jailbreak Section. These guides include screenshots, and are specific to each firmware version Seas0nPass supports. As the Jailbreaking process with Seas0nPass is essentially the same for all firmware versions however, you can follow the generalized guide below as well.

1. The first thing you will need to do is download Seas0nPass. As mentioned previously this can be done from the iJailbreak Downloads Section.
2. Launch Seas0nPass; keeping in mind the points discussed previously on how to launch Seas0nPass correctly on both Mac OS X and Windows.
3. Once you have launched Seas0nPass click the Create IPSW button and the latest Apple TV software will be downloaded and used to create a pre-Jailbroken IPSW.
4. When you are asked to plug your Apple TV into you computer via the micro-USB cable, do this now and then follow the on-screen instructions for putting your Apple TV into DFU mode. When you successfully enter DFU mode on your Apple TV iTunes will automatically begin the restoration process. When iTunes finishes restoring your Apple TV then your Apple TV has been Jailbroken (to confirm this you should see a temporary FC logo in place of the Settings icon).
5. If your Apple TV was Jailbroken tethered then you will need to disconnect your Apple TV from your computer, launch Seas0nPass again and click the Boot Tethered button. Then simply follow the rest of the 0n-screen instructions.

Seas0nPass is the best tool for Jailbreaking the Apple TV and hopefully this in-depth analysis has gotten you more comfortable with using Seas0nPass. Once your Apple TV is Jailbroken you will want to install aTV Flash (black), which can be purchased from the FireCore website.

Following the release of Apple TV software update 5.2.1 (iOS 6.1.3 – 10B329a), FireCore has updated Seas0nPass to provide a tethered jailbreak for Apple TV 2 running the latest firmware. Released in March, a minor Apple TV software update – 5.2.1 – added support for Music in the Cloud in Japan and Israel and included improvements for software update, subtitles, and general performance.

Here is a step by step tutorial on how to tether jailbreak Apple TV 2 5.2.1 using Seas0nPass:

NOTE: This is a TETHERED jailbreak. This means every time there is a need to reboot your Apple TV, you have to connect it to a computer. Functionally, both tethered and untethered jailbreak are identical.

NOTE 2: The current version of Seas0nPass doesn’t provide a jailbreak for the Apple TV 3.

Pre-launch checklist

1. Download and install the latest version of iTunes (check for updates through Software Update located in Apple menu).
2. Download Seas0nPass for Mac [10.6 or later] or Windows [XP or later].
3. A micro USB cable will be required to complete the jailbreak.
4. Disconnect any iPods, iPhones, and iPads from your computer.

Jailbreaking

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

Step 2: Select the ‘Create IPSW’ button to start the jailbreak process.

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

Step 4: When prompted, connect your Apple TV using a micro-USB cable (leave 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.

Note: This step will require the silver (aluminum) Apple TV remote that was included with the ATV2. The older, white (plastic) remotes will not work.

Step 5: iTunes will open automatically and start the restore process.

Overview

Seasons were introduced in the 2018 Winter Update, removed temporarily in the Nukes Update, and brought back in the Winter 2020 Update. Seasons offer limited-time rewards such as vehicles and customizations that often become unobtainable after the season ended, or they can give out certain bonuses, such as C4, Cash, or Rocket Fuel. There have been 10 seasons in total, and the 6th is currently ongoing.

Season 6: Race to the Top! began on October 1st, 2021, and ends at 11:59 PM EST/3:59 AM UTC on November 28th, 2021.

List of Seasons

XP Table

This table shows how much XP is required to reach a certain level. It is always updated to the current season, or, in the case when no season is ongoing, the latest season. The "Day" column shows how long it would take to get to that level from the previous level while the "Total Days" column shows how long it would take to get to that level from level 1. This assumes that the player does their full set of contracts everyday. This is not 100% accurate, but should be the case for most players.

Season 6: Race to The Top (ongoing)

Season 6: Race to the Top is the 6th and current season of Jailbreak. It is the first season to feature bonus rewards consisting on three different rewards that were exclusive, two car skins and a furniture item.

Levels are now uncapped meaning players can grind to a unlimited number of levels similar to the old system.

Players can track their progress by looking on the global leaderboards located at the Hypezone or City.

Many contracts were removed and new ones were made. This resulted in people having an easier time doing contracts as all police and criminal contracts are replaced by arresting and robbing based contracts.

The grand prize for this season is The Beignet.

Previous Seasons

Previous seasons are seasons that already gone by.

Double XP Event

A Double XP Event is an event that doubles the amount of XP on every contract. This event is for players who have not reached level 10. The event usually occurs when a season is about to end.

Old System

Seasons from during Seasons 1-4 and prior to the Season revamp contained 2 types of levels: Criminal/Prisoner level and Police level. Each type can only gain XP if the player is on the respective team (players can only obtain Criminal/Prisoner XP as a Criminal/Prisoner, and Police XP only as a Police officer). After entering the season, players will start at level 1 on each team. The XP required to reach the next level starts off at 1,000 XP and increases until it reaches 1,500 XP.

Levels

XP (Old System)

Most features of the game for both teams give XP. The following is a list of methods in-game to increase XP, along with amount of XP given.

The Donut Shop and Gas Station do not give any XP.

In VIP servers, the amount of XP a player gains is halved to prevent abuse and farming XP easily.

If a player bought the XP Boost Gamepass before its removal, they permanently had a +50% (x1.5) XP boost effect. This XP boost was discontinued in Season 1: New Beginnings, but players who bought the Gamepass got its 399-worth Season Pass for free.

In Season 1: New Beginnings, the XP Boost Gamepass was replaced with the Season Pass. This pass costed 399 and could've been purchased from the Season GUI in-game. It had the same effect as the original Gamepass, offering an additional +50% XP gain. However, if players that owned the XP Boost Gamepass purchase this, they can stack the effects and receive a +100% boost, doubling XP gain. This pass is not permanent.

Buying Levels

Players used to be able to level up with in-game cash. It was not recommended to buy all the levels, as the price and the level exponentially increased in a linear fashion. It was recommended to buy the first 10 or so levels. As of Season 1: New Beginnings, players can no longer buy levels with cash.

Season 1

All levels in season 1 were priced at $250,000.

Season 2

Seasons 3, 4 and monthly levels

Rewards

The seasons and their various rewards can be seen below.

Season 1 ($500 in-game cash entry fee) started on December 22nd, 2018 and ended on March 9th, 2019, lasting 77 days.

Police Season 3 Prizes

Season 4 ($2,500 in-game cash entry fee) started on November, 3rd, 2019, and concluded on May 3rd 2020, lasting 182 days.

Criminal Season 4 Prizes

Police Season 4 Prizes

Level	Image	Reward	Cost
5		Full Rocket Fuel	Free
10		Triple Fin Spoiler and Secret Agent Base	$10,000 in-game cash (Spoiler) Free (Secret Agent Base)

50		Dual Rockets Spoiler	$30,000 in-game cash

The theme for this season was named “Season 1: New Beginnings”, most likely to emphasise the new season system. It lasted for about 45 days. Players cannot simply purchase levels, as Contracts were introduced, and there are only 10 levels that apply to both Criminals and Police. Despite there are 10 levels, it's harder to level up compared to Seasons 1-4 due to Contracts giving less XP and requires more XP for greater levels. It also is one of the seasons to give rewards immediately without extra payment of cash. Anyone who owned the extra XP gamepass got the Season Pass for free. Players who own the Season Pass will unlock 4 more items for levels and will gain an additional contract for each team.

Prizes

The theme for this season was named “Season 2: Out of This World!”, most likely to emphasise the space-themed rewards. It lasted for about 45 days, and similar to Season 1: New Beginnings, players need to complete Contracts
