i had to restore back to 4.2 from 4.3

no tinyumbrella needed or ssh blobs or whatever is called


You will need:
1) iTunes
2) ATV2 IPSW file for iOS 4.2.1 (Google search, took me a minute, but I found it)


DO THIS FIRST:



Locate "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\" for Windows and "/etc/" directory for Mac, then locate “hosts” file andOpen it in Notepad (for Windows) or TextEdit (for Mac OS X) and add this at the bottom of the file.

THEN SAVE IT




Just download the IPSW, connect your ATV2 to your computer with the micro USB cable, then SHIFT-click the "restore" button that you normally use to restore/update. Shift-clicking allows you to choose a file to "update" from, rather than download the latest.


I GOT THIS FROM HERE
