Checkra1n Jailbreak Released for Apple TV 4

The checkra1n jailbreak has been updated with support for the Apple TV 4. The release was announced on Twitter by @nitoTV.

At this time the checkra1n jailbreak for tvOS only works on the fourth generation (HD) Apple TV. Support for the 4K Apple TV is possible but it will require a cable that doesn't exist yet and a reliable way to get into DFU mode. There are no ETAs on either.

If you have a 4K Apple TV that is jailbroken, stay on that firmware version.


Currently, there are no plans to bring checkra1n support to older Apple TVs but nitoTV is willing to lend a minor hand to anyone who wants to take on that project.

You can download checkra1n for tvOS from here or at the link below:

Please note that SSH isn't on port 44 and isn't enabled over USB. It's on port 22 in preparation for 4K support.
