working in all ways. thx a lot Sam
PS:
1. download http://atvusb-creator.googlecode.com/files/atv-win-1.0.b11.zip &
unpack
2. download mk-atv-xbmc-ssh(2-4).bat from this thread
3. run mk-atv-xbmc-ssh(2-4).bat (it makes iso)
4. run USB Image Tool (in zip file), but "Run as administrator"
5. select in usb image tool device mod, NOT volume mode !!! very important
6. make usb stick & put in appletv (already updated to 2.4)
7. restart in restore mode (hold MENU and -), wait for restart
8. appletv pwned :))

Thank you, did not know to press Menu on Power up...

Glad it worked, worth noting that while MENU and - works it is best to start
the
patching process by turning it off, putting the USB in and turning it on.

Sam,
just needed to say thanx a million. My 2.3 ATV upgraded itself to 2.4, just
after
recovering from a blackout, here in Bangalore. Followed your instructions and
XBMC is
back.
Back to my movie!

Hi Guys, this worked perfectly but a couple of oddities worth mentioning:
Update to 2.4 - no probs
Jailbreak - no probs
Update launcher and install XBMC - no probs
Update Software Menu to add "Tweaks" in preparation to install Rowmote (for my
iPhone) and then restart finder - bowel prolapse...
If you restart finder from Software Menu the ATV restarts and looks Appleised
again -
no Jailbreak...
Force reboot the ATV (MENU & -) go through the motions and restart - all
Jailbreak
data appears again.
From here I went back into Software Menu where I can see "Tweaks" and installed
Rowmote and then toggled it on. Once again restarted finder from Software Menu
and
appeared to lose my Jailbreak data. Force reboot and voila, Jailbreak data back
again.
Anyone care to try and replicate? Providing I don't restart from Finder
everything
appears to be OK however there is the odd time this is required.
My next step is to restore my ATV from scratch (wiping everything), jailbreak
and
then sync all my data again :-(
FYI.
Cheers also to Sam & Problem9 for a jailbreaking solution on 2.4 - thumbs up...

Is there a way to do all of this from a mac?

my atv used to be reliable, boxee was a bit of a sledgehammer to crack a nut
but it was welcomed, but these
days its a major hassle to update anything, bugs galore and movies I download
in h264 playback jerky.
This is hardly the media centre we have been looking for is it ?

I'm trying this out for the first time and just thought I would let you know
that the
USB Image Tool is not in the zip file. I downloaded it manually though and am
trying
it out in the tools directory in the zip file (just going off reading your
code.)

From Windows XP, I can download the current version of patchstick creator. When
running either .bat file, I get a download error message. So....I turned on my
MB
Pro, and downloaded b1o. When trying to create new patch stick, it was stuck on
the
download message. I had to manually download the ATV update dmg. (i got it from
here:
http://www.trejan.com/projects/appletv/). Once i did that I was golden.... I
was able
to create the patchstick, installed in my ATV no problems - even updated XBMC,
Boxee,
and Launcher.

shawn.... did you leave the default options turned on for the patch stick?
just curious
because i would love to not have to do a factory restore to stop mine from
booting to
the recovery menu.

Awesome! I just finished repatching my tv. I downloaded the new disk image
from
http://mesu.apple.com/data/OS/061-6242.20090624.Aq20P/2Z694-5660-029.dmg
then placed that file in the folder ~\atvusb-creator-1.0.b10\downloads\
and ran atvusb-creator with the "XBMC/Boxee for Mac" option selected.
tv patched just fine. Just needed to update some of the software, but I was
probably overdue for that anyway.
I really want to thank the developers of atvusb-creator. Making this so easy,
and
having the ability to run it from my Yosemite G3.

Regarding Mac support, you'll have to check with Davilla. I wrote this script
originally for myself so I could upgrade to 2.4 but I decided to share it with
everyone, however, I am not a developer for this project so I designed this
with the
thought of it being superceded by Beta 12 shortly.

Just an update on this: I've taken a look at the Mac version and can confirm
that it
works. Rather than select Download DMG you should manually download it at:
http://mesu.apple.com/data/OS/061-6242.20090624.Aq20P/2Z694-5660-029.dmg and
select
it by clicking Choose DMG in atvusb.

Hey there,
I have successfully updated to 2.4 with a working patchstick.
My process was Factory Restore -> v1.1
Apple official upgrade to 2.4
Patchstick on Mac OS X with v10b created for 2.4
Manual installation of ATVFiles 1.2.1 and Perian 1.1.3.
Two issues (major)
* No sound from .mkv files (never had this before) + random crashing when
trying to
play some .mkv
* Whenever I try and rewind the ATV locks up, reboots and takes 1 min to
refresh
(very painful!!
Does anyone have a fix for these? Pleaes help me sharma911@hotmail.com
Also, when I was on 2.2, I NEVER had anyone these problems. *Wishes I could go
back
to the way things were*

ok so i went to the apple store and got it restored back to factory through
there drive
and now after upgrading to 2.4 i patched it and it works fine....

Glad it worked out in the end Evan, it is worth noting that it is impossible to
brick your ATV by patchsticking, because you can always connect to a PC and
restore
from an image.
@Viv3k.Arya: This is a problem with them applications - you should check
Awkward TV
Wiki for full compatibility list. While I'm sure the devs will get there, the
reason
you say "when I was on 2.2, I NEVER had anyone these problems", is because most
devs
recommend 2.2 (atleast for ATV Files) as the most stable ATV fw version.
Hope this enlightens a few people.

Sam. Thanks for posting the above .bat file for ATV 2.4. When I download the
new
file (your file), do I place it in the same spot as the original .bat file from
Beta
11? Do I keep the old one in there, or do I delete the old one and replace with
the
one you posted? Thanks

Yes, the batch file replaces the old one meaning the path *MUST* be the same.
For
any audio issues etc try a reboot after installation.

When running the batch file, I got past the DMG download (100%)
Then, right after there was a message about Extracting the HFS partition and
how it
was going to be a lengthy process of 5-10 minutes, I got this...
Error:
cannot find archive
***********************
Some sort of error has occured, aborting operation.
Anya ideas?
Original comment by kgor...@gmail.com

Hey kgordee,
Why don't you delete the folder you were worknig in and redownload the batch
script
and a copy of Beta 11 from the Downloads page.
Then run the batch script in the same place as xbmc-atv-ssh.bat.
Original comment by Sam.Nazarko
on 31 Jul 2009 at 3:36
Some problems in running this.
1) I downloaded the script above mk-atv-xbmc-ssh(2-4).bat
2) I downloaded atv-win-1.0.b11 and unzipped
3) I located the file mk-atv-xbmc-ssh.bat in the extracted folder
atv-win-1.0.b11
4) I modified the link inside mk-atv-xbmc-ssh.bat
from http://mesu.apple.com/data/OS/061-5651.20081119.32VtA/2Z694-5573-24.dmg
to http://mesu.apple.com/data/OS/061-6242.20090624.Aq20P/2Z694-5660-029.dmg
If I do not do that I get an error.
5) I moved the script mk-atv-xbmc-ssh(2-4).bat in the extracted folder atv-win-
1.0.b11. If I do not do that and run it from another folder I get the error
that the
file is not recognized as an internal oe external command, operable program or
batch
file
6) I then run mk-atv-xbmc-ssh(2-4).bat
7) The file 2Z694-5660-029.dmg is created with no problem, but then the batch
stops
after it ways ** Extracting HFS partition... and states Error: cannot find
archive,
some sort of error has occurred, aborting operation.
What Am i doing wrong?

Solved! It needed a bit of more hacking of the bat file and the new
naming...fingers
crossed
Original comment by claudio....@gmail.com

claudio.catania,
You do not have to modify the reference to the update file, because I have done
that
in the superseded batch script. The idea is you do not use mk-atv-xbmc-ssh.bat
but
rather use mk-atv-xbmc-ssh(2-4).bat which already is an updated version.
Therefore
all you would need to do is: Download B11, Copy BAT file into same directory,
run it.
