Why is Saving Apple TV SHSH2 Blobs Important?
Finally, development of tvOS 10.1.1 jailbreak is currently underway. Just like iOS devices, you must save SHSH2 blobs for Apple TV to stay on the safe side.
For those who don’t know, SHSH blobs allow you to upgrade or downgrade to unsigned iOS firmware. Think of it as an insurance policy for your iOS device.
Here are a few scenarios, and the appropriate plan of action –
- If you are on tvOS 10.0-10.1, jailbreak with LiberTV. If you have already jailbroken your Apple TV 4, DO NOT update and and save your SHSH2 blobs.
- If you are on tvOS 10.1.1, stay there and DO NOT update. Save your SHSH2 blobs before Apple closes the signing window.
- If you are on tvOS 10.2, downgrade to tvOS 10.1.1 while it’s still being signed. Save your SHSH2 blobs as well.
Saving SHSH2 blobs is really simple. You just need to enter a few details in the TSS Saver tool and that’s it. The tool will handle the rest for you.
Now onto the tutorial.
Requirements
- Apple TV
- A USB cable
