Cannot update my ATV #420

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I am unable to UPDATE my apple tv from 2.3 to 3.0? Tried a lot of things
suggested by forums on boxee etc.

Even checked /etc/hosts ... there is no mention of the 'mesu...' line.

How do I update my ATV?

If worst comes to worse, why don't you Restore 2.3 and then upgrade straight up 
to 
3.0.1 (fresh installs)

Sam > I spent 4 hours yesterday trying various options. In the end, I even took 
the HD out of the ATV in 
hopes of  re-installing? At this point my suspicions are (a) whenever I 
installed the Patchstick that enabled the 
USB port for external HDs, that did something to alter the boot sequence? (b) 
At the same time, the script 
probably corrupted the recovery partition or the image? 

I don't know enough to pinpoint the problem. Upon checking /etc/hosts, it is 
clean as it should be i.e. there is 
no line that refers to 'mesu.apple..' Upon performing diskutl list, I receive 
the output the way it should be with 
all 4 partitions visible and their sizes are intact too. So I am at complete 
loss as to why the ATV is not 
updating nor restoring?

I wish there was an easy way to format the HD and reinstall everything to make 
it as good as Factory new. I 
don't mind whichever version I have so I can update from there. Find it strange 
that there is no way to Factory 
Reset this after a software based hack has screwed up.

You can restore the thing like new. You can get an image of the drive from 
various 
websites.
