Can we jailbreak any ATV 1st gen

just wonder if we have the ATV1 we can jailbreak and instal AVT FLASH anytime or cant with the lasted firmware?

Latest ATVFlash 1g(silver) is compatible with Apple TV 1G silver latest firmware 3.0.2

So that would allow you to watch XBMC, flashsportstreams etc.?

yes. I use it since 2008

The reason I am on the hunt for something is that my dad wants one. He wants to watch football mainly. So if I got him an ATV 1 it would work great. He doesn’t need mirroring or anything flash so ATV 1 would work great?

Thanks for your help

would work even better than atv2.

I run 1080p raw blueray on my atv1 with no issues (with crystal installed).

 Mirroring/Airplay works as soon you install Remote HD.

XBMC with live channels runs with no issues.

I have 3 atv1 , and bought upgrade 3 atv2. Sold all atv2 as it is not better .

Now bought 3 atv3, waiting for miracle…  still have atv1  

So … it will work just gr8!

crystalbuntu is linux software … Crystal HD is broadcom’s hardware.

So I suspect you have linux version software installed and set to boot to xbmc not to Frontrow.

If you have Crystal HD card installed , so it goes to slot instead of wifi, that means you loose wireless for 1080p.

No i dont have HD Card on it…i go to setting-system-video-playback and check already…so how can i restore to factory and install ATVflash can u show?thanks

You do a restore in the apple menu settings

Oh Boy…did u read from the 1st post?i cant never see the main APPLE TV Menu…when its boot it bring me direct to XBMC and when i choose exit it show the Crystalbuntu login screen

i think this unit been install the linux version of the website… http://www.stmlabs.com i just dont know how to restore to the factory ATV firmware…cant belive how can ppl use this Crystalbuntu or whatever it call…you will lost the APPLE TV main Menu and thats y cant use wifi either…so stupid and cant compare with ATVflash

Sorry missed that part.

 

Did you try booting the ATVflash USB again? Not sure if it will overwrite the settings you messed up.

 

I read this http://iluvatv.wordpress.com/2010/10/06/boot-directly-into-xbmc/ but you want to switch it back to frontrow so this might not help

 

Still looking for how to change it back

 

Did you purchase ATVflash?

Why didn’t you follow this guide? http://support.firecore.com/entries/259315-crystal-hd

No mate…i want to make sure its work if not i dont want to loss another 30 bucks.

Found this for what it’s worth http://scottforbes.net/2010/02/27/appletv-how-to-force-a-factory-restore-via-ssh/

You will lose SSH if it doesn’t work though. So until somone can confirm it works just hold off.

I might try this when I get home and report back.

 

Did you try the Down Down OK to get the diagnostic menu he talks about?

How do you use Netflix on ATV1, or can’t you?

over xbmc plugin

Magic.

Thank you very much for all your excellent help. It’s been fun :slight_smile:

 

Its doesn work with this way…my ATV didnt run ATVFLASH thats why no Frontrow folder on it…so sad no ATVFLASH for me then
