Seas0nPass the popular Apple TV Jailbreak took has just been updated. This new update provides a jailbreak for the 2nd generation model running on the very latest 5.2.1 (iOS 6.1.3) software.
Jailbreak developers have been focusing their efforts on the portable iOS devices and only those of you that own the older model have been able to see any kind of jailbreak for this device. The latest firmware 5.2.1 for Apple TV was released on the 19th of March and this patched the Evasi0n untethered jailbreak that was available for Apple TV2 users on 5.2 firmware. The newly updated Seas0nPass jailbreak that is now available for the 5.2.1 firmware is tethered but the nature of Apple TV means that this is just as good as an untethered jailbreak as most Apple TV owners tend to leave their little black box connected to the mains and if you do this you won't need to connect it to your PC or Mac to reapply the jailbreak.
There are plenty of benefits to using an Apple TV jailbreak and this includes the ability to run unsolicited apps whenever you want. The main reason that most people jailbreak their Apple TV is XBMC. If you do own an older 2nd generation Apple TV then the jailbreak process is really not that difficult. There are plenty of tutorials available and these still apply with the newly updated Seas0nPass tool. You will need to download the latest version of Seas0nPass before you jailbreak your Apple TV.
It is hoped that we will see a jailbreak made available for the 3rd generation Apple TV but seeing as though it is well over a year since it was released there doesn't seem to be anything happening in this department. If you have an older model you can still jailbreak by using the newly updated Seas0nPass tool.
