When I plug my ATV2 to my Macbook Pro via Micro USB; the ATV2 blinks once and then never again....ANYONE KNOW WHAT'S WRONG?

@tase1015 Do it w/o the power cord just usb cable. Be sure to put it into DFU mode.

@GMELECTROINCS I eventually tried the tethered method and that worked fine but I really didn't want tethered so I restored and set about greenpoison again. This time I fired up TinyUmbrella and with my saved SHSH's restored to 4.2.1 instead of 4.3 and voila and although the LED still never went solid, I was able to reset it and there was the jailbreak. And yes, I figured out the USB only thing - that's quite important. Thanks for the help!

@mpowereduser Im glad it worked out for you.

I haven't had any problem getting to DFU mode and the jailbreak says that it's complete but the LED on the front never goes solid. It drops from the fast blinking in DFU mode to a slow steady one will remain that way no matter how long I leave it.

If I reboot it, I have no jailbreak. thoughts anyone?

@mpowereduser Usually this happens from time to time on the jailbreaks i do. just keep on doing it until you are successful: tip use only usb to the computer and just wait a min for good measure lights do not go steady . once that is done plug it to your tv and verify.

Hi

I've followed the instructions several times on both Mac & PC and it seems to upload on to the ATV2 but when i reboot its never there. The flashing white light drops to a steady flash at the end but never returns to a solid light at the end no matter how long i leave it. Any ideas what i could be doing wrong?

thanks

@dobbatron 4.2 is the correct version . Try it in a non apple computer. or another mac. I had to do it 4 times before it worked. IF you still have any issues i will gladly help out just go to my site and ill make some time to help you out.

Thanks GME, I finally got GP to work until Complete appeared, waited a few minutes before disconnecting etc but after connecting to tv no sign of GP anywhere, just the regular ATV menus. Tried the whole process a few times but no love. Current ATV2 firmware says 4.2 (2060), Is this the problem? Tried restore but won't go lower.

Thanks again
