Got the same error code on Apple TV HD on 14.0 too and the same setup. Any idea how to resolve it?

I Just downgraded to tvOS 13.4.8 and I'm having a similar issue. I can jailbreak but it doesnt load the installer :/

Edit: using checkra1n version 0.10.2 solved the tvOS 13.4.8

Is anyone successful?

[mycastlex]

Same here.

[dougmcarthur]

I wonder if anyone has successfully jailbroken on tvOS 14? I just tried on 14.0.1 using checkra1n beta 0.11.0 and got the same result. :/

[timemaster5]

Same here, tested on tvos 14 and 14.0.1

[Mysticales]

Same issue here, Installed fine using Ubuntu, but on 14.0.1 it gets stuck on that check snapshot..

Btw is it possible, even after a DFU that some jb files or fs from what was it greenpoison? Was left here messing it up?

[bosu1787]

same here on 14.0.1 using raspberry pi 4, installed fine but get check_snapshot_error_code......

[Mysticales]

Anyone try the tvos beta profile to prevent ota download? And speaking of ota. Anyone know where the ota file is stored on tvos? Cause could be there is something there and its not being purged on the jailbreak like other ios devices are.

[cs59]

Getting same issue here

[MDausch]

I’ve tried it on 14.0, 14.0.1, and 14.0.2 and get the same error

[timemaster5]

It seems to me like nobody can use checkra1n on tvOS 14. I know there is a lot of other work, but this looks like the originally introduced functionality doesn't work at all. So I think it should be either removed from the list of features on the official page (https://checkra.in/releases/), which would prevent more people from reporting this as a bug, or fixed with some priority. As it is probably a result of some small mistake/typo, to comply with the original statement.

Also not working with checkra1n 0.12 on tvOS 14.2, same error

[getafe83]

Not working on tvos 14.2 and checkra1n 0.12

[timemaster5]

Same for me :( I tried the Mac GUI version, and also Linux CLI, but the result is the same every time. I have just also tried to restore the factory defaults, to be safe.. no difference :(

[Apple4Barres]

I have an Apple Tv 4k in 14.4, I use GoldenEye and DSDC cable with Checkra1n 0.12.2 and it gives me an error "check_snapshot_error". I have tried to use Checkra1n 0.12.1 but I can't get past "Booting" and it restarts. Any solution? I have another Apple TV 4K also in 14.4 and in that second device the error "check_snapshot_error" does not appear
