[@DXcool223]

A new updated tutorial will be coming out soon it will fix most of everyone’s issues including how to install Minecraft on newer firmwares subscribe and turn notifications on 😊

Hey, so far this tutorial here was working. After my AppleTV was shut down by power shortage I can’t make it work. Everything seems to work fine and when it reboots it’s just like the jailbreak never happened. I tried 3 times.

[@americanescu]

it's probably cooked. If it shut off during a critical boot strap update, you can't recover anymore since the original Apple OS is gone and cannot be be recovered.

DXcool, thank you for everything.

Trollstore seems to be broken on tvOS 18.1 - always freezes and i cannot do anything with it. Any workarounds? I simply want kodi and a youtube ad free app if possible

Thanks to you, I was able to do JB. Thank you very much. Where can I find Apple TV apps other than appdb and you? I installed kodi 21, provenance, streamer tvos,yattee and dead cells. All of them are beautiful. Is there any app you can recommend?

[@overcomingwithin]

where'd you find these direct urls? jailbroken, but can't find any info on how to actually install them

[@DXcool223]

Follow me on twitter dxcool223x for apps !! I have a lot of apps, and I even have private apps

[@DXcool223]

If you want direct URL’s message me, it does cost because I have to maintain the server, but it also comes with apps that no one has access too

Anything worth installing through troll store on tvOS? Can you convert iOS apps into tvOS apps????

No it’s very unlikely that something like that would come out, go to iosgods to get stuff for Apple TV google this -> “DXcool223 iosgods”

[@lisaling350]

Funny I was able to jailbreak but when I installed Trollstore I no longer have palerain and when I rejailbreak it doesn’t show up anymore. I still have Trollstore.

[@DXcool223]

Make sure to update to the nightly this will fix this problem. It’s hard for me to continuously update the URL every night.

[@DXcool223]

This jailbreak is in beta so it’s technically, for beta testers, so there will be bugs like this all the time until it gets more stable

[@markStuber-gx8mf]

Thanks for this. I read a post of X that if you jailbreak, install Trollstore & apps via Trollstore, if you restart the device Trollstore remains along with the Apps. However the jailbreak does not. Is this true for 17.1-5?

[@DXcool223]

No, that’s incorrect. The coretrust bug is only present in 15 - 17.0, so if you turn your Apple TV off, you’re going to have to re-jailbreak it

[@prod_yhoo]

@@DXcool223 when you say turn off do you mean un-plugging it or pressing and holding down the power button on the remote

[@DXcool223]

@@prod_yhoo yes that’s what I mean, as long as you keep your Apple TV plugged in trollstore will work… you can even let it sleep but if you unplug it, you will have to rejailbreak the Apple TV

[@Yakirmanz]

cant get my device on DFU for some reason. I tried number of times. BTW does it support 17.5.1? Thats what i have on both Apple tv's 4HD and 4K Thanks.

[@Ttroen1]

How do you connect the Mac and Apple TV

[@DXcool223]

If you do not have a USB C on your Apple TV you can’t jailbreak it, because it’s a 4K Apple TV if it’s on 16.5 then you can install trollstore if it’s above 16.5 buy a Apple TV HD on eBay

[@TheRestiance]

My Apple TV doesn’t have a usb plug too plug into my computer. I just have the HDMI, the power port, and the Ethernet port.

[@DXcool223]

This is a Apple TV 4K not supported in my tutorial

[@prod_yhoo]

For new people who aren’t even on TV OS 17 or earlier (TV OS 18 and above depending on when this is seen) I will try this again SOON not currently and see if it works on TV OS 18.1 on the TV HD and update this when I can. And keep in note you need an apple Mac device, atleast that’s Big Sur and above I’d assume. AND this doesn’t work with the TV 4K models as seen in the title, I saw a few comments while scrolling, yall needa read😭 anyways This original message will be updated depending on changes that I find and if it doesn’t work then I’ll just say it doesn’t work, anyways to the new people who don’t wanna risk doing this on something not tested I will try it.

So I had that problem earlier today that I mentioned in my first comment. Where it wouldn’t install troll helper. At that time I unplugged my Apple TV. Then I come back to try to ssh and plug it in and power on and I notice I have to re-jailbreak. I did so and what do you know…troll helper is there now. I guess it did install from that first time. I installed and also now installed trollstore. We are good to go now!! Thanks again for your help. I am still looking forward to your new video.

[@prod_yhoo]

I didnt get the repo that you had at 6:57 (edit) I clicked in palera1n instead of restart springboard (or pineboard) I clicked “user space reboot” im on tvOS 17.5.1 and I am doing this later than this video so I’m pretty sure things are the same for installing and jb your Apple TV, it’s just updated software

[@l.w.7191]

And did I work? I just updated to 17.5.1 and also wanted to Jailbreak it. But I don't have a Mac so I don't even know if it works on Windows yet.

[@prod_yhoo]

@@l.w.7191 I don’t know if it works on windows, I use macOS, you can probably use a cheap Mac for 100 USD.

[@dodo_1124]

Hey friend, I haven't been in the jailbreak scene for two years. I have a first generation apple tv 4k, foxlink x892 cable, dcsd cable and tvOS is 17.5.1. Will your method in the video work for me?

[@DXcool223]

If I were you, I would go to the jailbreak Discord and ask around... they might have fixed the bugs because this can brick your apple TV 4K and it would be a paper weight.. and I never done this to a 4K 1st Gen before there are probably going to be some extra steps

After I put my apple tv into dfu mode it executes checkra1n but then it stops at the checkm8 setup stage

[@DXcool223]

Did you hit Ctrl & C to stop Palera1n and retype the command if so try a different version of the nightly and follow the video step for step also make sure your using the right binary for your example a Mac intel system is X86_64 or try the universal one

So I would need to buy an Apple TV HD 2015 and put it on tvOS 17.5 or 17.0? Title says 17.5

[@DXcool223]

I haven’t tested anything past 17.5 but it works on 17.5.1 anything above that I have no clue I would need to test it out and atm I am extremely busy.. I Know that Palera1n is broken on iOS 18 I would expect the same for tvOS, if you can get a device on 17.0 or below it has a coretrust bug allowing you to use trollstore even when the device is not in a jailbroken state .. you can also install trollstore on a Apple TV 4K “not a JB just Trollstore” if it’s below 16.6 with misaka but if it’s on 17.0 you will have to wait for a install method

[@Jkingnick]

@DXcool223 I bought an Apple TV 4K 2022 like 7 days ago and it came with tvOS 17.5.1, and as you’re saying, it won’t work since there isn’t any support for it. Is there anyway else besides these methods to get troll store somehow on it, or should I go ahead and purchase a 2015 TV?

[@DXcool223]

@@Jkingnick yes, you should go ahead and buy an Apple TV HD on eBay if you want a jailbreak, but if you just want trollstore I highly suggest you get a Apple TV 4K go on eBay and ask around and see what firmware it’s on, I got my Apple TV 4K 3rd gen sealed in the box on 16.6, you can try to go to Best Buy and pick up a Apple TV 4K and see if it’s on 16.6 if not just return it… but the best bet is eBay message a lot of people and ask them what firmware the device is on

[@DXcool223]

But if you just want a cheap solution, go for the used Apple TV HD, I’m going to see if tvOS 18 can be jailbroken

[@Jkingnick]

@@DXcool223 yeah I like the eBay route since it’s cheaper and I can confirm the firmware. Thank you so much for all of your help and insight, and let me know if tvOS 18 will work. I’ve just started this jailbreaking project since I saw of a video you were featured on for Minecraft Apple TV edition. Thanks 🙏

[@eropoke]

Is there a palen1x version of this? Too broke for mac

[@DXcool223]

No there is not…and I heard it’s more difficult to do on Linux and just doesn’t seem to run that good but it does work, but I seen nothing but problems with other people attempting to jailbreak their Apple TV on Linux so I suggest Mac, Make a hackintosh that’s what I did VMware will not work btw it has to be a hackintosh

@@DXcool223 for me, it was easier and took less time then it took you to do it. Instead of a long command to make a file executable, it's just chmod +x and its basically the same from there on
