I found a solution. Download the disk image for Apple TV 2.4 here:
http://mesu.apple.com/data/OS/061-6242.20090624.Aq20P/2Z694-5660-029.dmg
In the ATV-USB Creator click CHOOSE A DMG and attach the downloaded disk image.
Then the creator runs normally, and installs boxee along with the Apple TV OS.

I was having the same problem. I downloaded the image and am now getting this
message:
Creating USB Flash Disk...
umount_disk settling delay (10 seconds)
partition the target disk
umount_disk settling delay (10 seconds)
install recovery onto target disk
Unable to mount image: hdiutil: attach failed - Resource busy

Any Ideas?

I downloaded the 2.4 firmware DMG, per comment two above, and it worked great.
I did get that "Resource busy" thing a few times, and I think I simply quit the
atvusb creator, rebooted my Mac, ran it again, and it worked. If it wasn't
exactly
that sequence, it was something not much more complicated then that. I may
have had
to re-format again.

Ok, so i can't get this to work in Windows. I get the same error. Any
suggestions?

Works in Windows. Check out the batchfile update here
(http://code.google.com/p/atvusb-creator/issues/detail?id=333). Also, I was
getting a
404 issue with the batchfiles when I was running them from too deep a directory
path.
I copied the Windows atvwin folder to directly under c:\ and ran the new
batchfile from
above and it worked like a charm.

So OSX auto mounts the dmg, unmount it. There IS a dmg present or OSX would not
be able to mount it. Check
your "downloads" folder.

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, but I still can't get this thing to work.
I never should have updated to
Apple TV 2.4. My Boxee had been working fine until then...
I downloaded the disk image disk image for Apple TV 2.4 at:
http://mesu.apple.com/data/OS/061-6242.20090624.Aq20P/2Z694-5660-029.dmg
However, when I attempt to choose a DMG, I am not sure what to do next. I
don't see any way possible to
simply "attach" the DMG file because (a) there are several of them in the
download (Applications, Library,
System, SeedScratch, etc), and (b) a window opens prompting me to select a
file, but I;m not sure which open
to select, and in any event all of the possible file selections are grayed out
and not active so I can't "open" or
attach any of them.
I'm surprised that no one has mentioned this issue. Can someone please give
me idiot-proof, step-by-step
instructions on what to do next? Thanks!

monica & independencefund.... I **think** this might help.
When I downloaded
http://mesu.apple.com/data/OS/061-6242.20090624.Aq20P/2Z694-5660-029.dmg, I
downloaded it to my DESKTOP. That was the only place I could be sure it
wouldn't
get me confused.
As soon as it was done downloading, an OS Boot window opened revealing lots of
grayed
out items and random folders. Damn. What the hell is that. I don't know.
So I just said "okay, I'm going to pretend that didn't happen." Closed that
window.
Put out of my mind.
I went back to the ATVUSB-creator and hit the blue "choose DMG" button and just
selected the disk image icon on my desktop. And it's doing something now!
woo-hoo!
granted, I'm a little nervous because it's taking a long time.....
oh dang, I hope it's not stuck. It's "copying files" and has been there a
while...

I started this question. I have solved my problem and been successful setting
up both my Apple TV's. The break
thru for me was when I discovered that the DMG that I need to select was
automatically being downloaded to my
Download File. So when I discovered that, I simply follwed the instructions to
run ATV USB Creator and opened
the DMG and went to my download file and matched the DMG file there to the
/dev/disk2/ shown in ATV USB
Creator. In the end now I understand how simple this was. But from all these
responses it appears I'm not alone
with have the problem initally.

This is the last time that I'm going the mention the solution since users can't
seem to understand how to uses
the issues page to search.
Manually download the dmg and select it in atvusb-creator. Do NOT try to auto
download as the URL reference
atvusb-creator uses for autodownload is gone forever from the net.

I was able to create the patchstick finally.
-First I was not getting any message since it was looking for the .dmg.I
downloaded 2z694-5660-029.dmg
-first time running it got stuck halfway and ran forever. I ejected it.
-I then got the error message after 0:55 seconds telling me it failed
-ran disk utility, first ran disk utility-first aid-erase, then ran erase-mac

-reran atvusb creator 1.4.0.b10 and it worked!
Haven't plugged it into the ATV yet but happy to get this far. Hopefully I get
it to work with ATV 3.0.1 (might
need to telnet to the box and run some scripts)

I had the same issue initially, and this is what I did to resolve it:
- Used a 2GB USB stick
- using Disk Utility I erased the USB stick selecting the file format Mac OS
Extended
(journaled)
- downloaded the Apple TV 3.0.1 firmware from:
http://mesu.apple.com/data/OS/061-7491.20091107.TVA31/2Z694-6004-
003.dmg (you can get a list of the firmwares from here:
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/comments.php?enid=970#commentsanchor)
- Opened atvusb creator 1.4.0.b10
- Clicked 'Choose a DMG' and selected the freshly downloaded firmware
- Clicked 'Create Using ->' (make sure you have selected the USB stick)
- Once done:
- Unplugged the Apple TV. Inserted the patchstick into its USB port. Plugged it
back
in
- Once the patching is complete (a lot of text on the TV, the last output will
be
"Hostname: appletv.local .... "), do this:
- Unplug your AppleTV. Disconnect the patchstick. Plug the AppleTV back in.
Done

Hi guys,
Really helpful forum, but still, my patchstick is not working. I manually
downloaded the image and used the atv
creator to create my patchstick (I'm on macOSX) but when I plug it to my
AppleTV and start it, nothing happens (i
don't get to see the tux). I've tried several pendrives and it's the same...
Maybe I'm not formatting the pendrive
properly? can anyone tell me how to do so?
