Hey guys, by no means am I a jailbreak newb (been doing them since 2007) but this Apple TV is throwing me for a loop.
I've created my custom bundle with pwnagetool so now I'm trying to get the thing into DFU mode.
I only have the micro-usb cable connected into my Mac. When I first plug it in iTunes recognizes the Apple TV in regular mode and gives me the option to restore. I ignore that and continue on with the DFU mode instructions.
I've tried following the prompts in pwnagetool and I've tried doing the menu+down for 6 seconds followed by the menu+play method and neither work.
When I hold down either set of buttons after about 6 seconds it starts blinking but neither combo ever makes the ATV disappear from iTunes which makes me think it isn't even restarting.
Any tips / tricks to help me get this thing into DFU mode would be GREATLY appreciated, this is so frustrating.
EDIT: When I first set up my Apple TV yesterday it requested that I update it which I did, so it's sitting on the newest firmware. Does the newest firmware disable the menu+down and menu+play remote combos?
