Apple TV 4K

Last chance to downgrade iOS and tvOS, and save blobs for a jailbreak!

Update: tvOS 11.1 and iOS 11.1.2 are now unsigned.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RESTORE TO THEM!

New exploits for iOS 11.1.2  and below have made the possibility of upcoming jailbreaks very real. However, without the proper preparation, you could be left in the cold, without blobs to restore, or on the wrong firmware. Also, not everyone should update, so you need to be sure it's for you. Let's go through the options.

How to block automatic updates and prompts on non-jailbroken Apple TV 4 and 4K

With the release of Ian Beer's new exploit, some hope for a future Apple TV 4/4K jailbreak has appeared. The exploit will theoretically work on firmwares up to and including tvOS 11.1, but not 11.2 and higher. For this reason, I advised in my jailbreak guide that Apple TV 4/4K users who want to have a chance of jailbreaking manually restore now to tvOS 11.1, before it goes unsigned. You can use our guide on the topic to do so.

tvOS 11.2 release notes

Released on December 4, 2017, the tvOS 11.2 software update brought a pair of new HDR viewing options for Apple TV 4K owners along with access to a brand new Sports tab within Apple's TV app and assorted under-the-hood changes and fixes.
