An untethered jailbreak is a one-time affair which jailbreaks your device before allowing you to continue normal usage – rebooting until your heart’s content. The difference between tethered and untethered, as many of you will know, is that the former requires a connection to a Windows or Mac machine in order to ‘boot tethered’ every time it is rebooted or switched off. The only difference between Seas0nPass and other Jailbreaking tools is that Seas0nPass creates a pre-Jailbreak iOS firmware (IPSW) that must be restored to your. The latest version supports OS X 10.11 El Capitan, as well as the Apple TV 2G’s last firmware 6.2.1, which equates to iOS 7.1.2.

Still, if you are one of those lucky individuals, you’ll likely have been waiting patiently for an untethered jailbreak on the latest firmware, and now, it has finally arrived. FireCore has released a version of Seas0nPass that takes the jailbreak tool to version 0.9.7 and puts it into a beta state for those who wish to go down the route of testing out the updated tool. Even now – almost a year after the release of the 3rd-gen Apple TV, the only way to enjoy a jailbroken set-top box experience with all the trimmings such as XBMC, is to own the older model.

With no real indication of a 3rd-gen Apple TV jailbreak in sight, it’s little wonder the older, 720p version is selling for more than its as-new price on the Internet auction site eBay.

Please bear in mind that this update to the renowned jailbreak tool only works on the second-generation Apple TV device, and will not jailbreak the third-gen, 1080p version. (Seas0nPass also has a tethered boot tool) A micro USB cable will be required to complete the jailbreak. Following the Evasi0n jailbreak for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, the same exploit used on that occasion has been utilized by FireCore, the team of individuals behind the Seas0nPass jailbreak tool, to provide an untethered jailbreak on the very latest Apple TV 5.2 firmware. A tethered jailbreak requires the AppleTV to be connected to a computer for a brief moment during startup. The Apple TV may not strictly run on the same software as the likes of the iPad or iPhone, but it still has to be considered an iOS device, because, well, it runs on a variant of iOS.
