![]() You'll have all of the features that Apple typically provides with iOS, and everything else Apple won't provide! They can extend the capabilities of your device in many ways, breaking Apple's boundaries in the process (try finding custom themes in the App Store!). Jailbreaking: The process of allowing iOS to run programs that Apple didn't approve.ZIP file.) Each device has its own firmware- you can't use an iPod touch 5G firmware on an iPad or iPod touch 4G. IPSW: Originally standing for " iPod Soft ware", an IPSW contains the firmware for a device.This mode is embedded into every iOS device, and is often exploited for jailbreaking. DFU Mode: Device Firmware Upgrade Mode.After all it's their software update that broke the units.GlossaryHere are a few terms you might come across while jailbreaking. Apple should exchange these defective units for refurbished ones. There's probably a hardware issue on some devices (different vendors?). This process was tenuous and required patience. I then had to babysit the update as there are a number of messages to be OK-ed, and, at one time, iTunes for Mac began starting up.) It (eventually after restarting iTunes, Windows etc) showed up in Devices. (Rapid flashing followed by less rapid flashing.) Step 3: Then immediately hold Menu+Play (on the ATV2 remote) to go into DFU mode. (As that did not work for me I had to disconnect/reconnect power instead.) ![]() Step 2: Hold menu+down for 6 seconds to reboot. Step 1: Connect the ATV2 via Micro-USB to computer. Note: You will need a Micro-USB cable to connect your AppleTV with iTunes-for-Windows running. Here is How to Put the Apple TV into DFU Mode: (I had to try variations on this to get iTunes to see the ATV2 in Devices.) So I tried putting the ATV2 in DFU (Device Firmware Update) mode using iTunes in Windows 7 (Pro) on Parallels (7). (I tried all kinds of permutations and two Micro-USB cables.) I could not restore it either as iTunes (via Micro-USB cable) on my Macbook would not recognize the ATV2. Then, next time I restarted it got stuck on "Whats New?" screen (the Continue button would not respond.) After about 7 minutes wait it went to the Home Screen but without response from the remote (I changed in a new battery too.) Then it went to the screensaver and stayed stuck on that. The Oct 2012 update bricked my Apple TV-2, although the update went the same as previous updates and the unit worked for a few minutes. Also, check which is kind of like the craigslist for Malaysia. but you might find someone who is reselling them. ![]() Oh, I've been told that you can find new Apple TV's at Low Yat Plaza. LAME APPLE!! The cost of all the shipping would be more than the coast of a a new unit. BUT, I'd need to mail it to a friend at home, have them take it to an Apple store, And then Apple will mail them a replacement, and then that person mails it back to me. Oh, Mine is under the hardware warrenty so, when I go home to the states (We are moving Dec 17) I'll bring the dead one into an Apple store, and they can replace it for me.Īpple, WILL replace it now. So, at this point, my replacement came, and I'm back to normal. I brought my ATV on a business trip with me to China, and tried it from there, woth with and with the VPN into my IP from Boston, and no luck. I have an IP Address I VPN into in the united states. I went to 5 computer stores, including the Apple distributors. But, I figuted, this puppy was not going to come back to life. I have found that it's not really a malaysian ebay site, but it mostly displays peoplew who will ship to Malaysia. The second day of the death of my ATV, I was still in denial, and determined to fix it, but decided to go onto ebay and buy one anyway. Nice to see someone else out in KL! Im' sad to report bad news.
