Apple TV4 9.0 Jailbroken stuck in recovery mode

[JA92]

Hi there,

Ive got a jailbroken ATV4 on 9.0 with Kodi etc installed. However today, I experienced a problem which caused the device to turn off every time the apple logo would appear on screen.

This no longer happens and the device keeps flashing now. I can put it in recovery mode but iTunes is asking me to update in order to restore (which I don't want to do, for obvious reasons).

Are there any applications out there that will allow me to just restore the firmware to its current state (9.0) without updating it?

Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Although this site is known for some pirating, I think you will find more atv-4 help if asked there.

How to fix the Apple TV 4 black screen of death
Some users have complained about being stuck in a black screen reboot loop after jailbreaking the Apple TV 4. This, as it turns out, can be easily fixed by a few simple SSH commands.

Step 1: Turn on your Apple TV

Step 2: Open Terminal

Step 3: Type the following in the Terminal window:

ssh root@<ip address of apple tv>

(password = alpine)

wget http://nitosoft.com/ATV4/fixBoot.sh

chmod +x fixBoot.sh

./fixBoot.sh

This will run the following commands automatically upon startup, which resolves the issue:

launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mobile.lockdown.plist

launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mobile.lockdown.plist
