Evidently today is a huge day for the jailbreak scene. We’ve just seen an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.1.1 in the form of Absinthe 2.0, untethering a tethered jailbreak with Rocky Racoon, and now an untethered jailbreak for the Apple TV running iOS 5.0.1 has also been announced! The newest version of Seas0nPass offers a fully untethered jailbreak for the second generation Apple TV. Unfortunately, it’s still not working on the newest iteration of the hardware, but we’re holding out hope.
Here’s a breakdown of the plugins that are working:
- Couch Surfer (works)
- Last.fm (works)
- Maintenance (works)
- Media Player (works)
- NitoTV (works)
- Plex (works)
- RSS Feeds (works)
- Rowmote (works)
- Weather (works)
- XBMC (works)
- Overflow (not working)
- Remote HD (not working)
As always, we’re not responsible if you break your machine doing this, and some users are reporting trouble reinstalling Media Player and XBMC. As always, caveat emptor.
