Please help. I'm trying to JB my ATV 2. I've downloaded SeasOnPass 4.4.4 and iTunes is up to date as well. The ATV 2 software is 4.4.4 (iOS 5.0.1 - 9A406a). I've followed the steps at iClarified. It finds the device in DFU Mode and goes through the process. It even says iTunes restore script successful. Then iTunes starts to extract the software and then I get this error "The Apple TV could not be restored. This device isn't eligible for the requested build. I tried different cables, different computers, same results. What could be wrong?

Thanks,
Joe
