atvwindows Creating Patchstick for Apple TV Take 2 under Windows

Good news for you Windows folks. Now, you, too, can create Patchsticks for modding your Apple TV without the need of an Intel Mac.

The guys at ATV4Windows have finally figured what thought to be impossible only a few weeks back: a way to create Patchsticks under Windows. Not only that, they even have a video to prove it.

Congratulations, ATV4Windows team.

    @TGS ... I tried myself with three different usb memory sticks before success... the two first never booted my ATV (brands are not common) but the third one did it well (a black 4Gb sandisk cruzer mini)...

    Just did a factory reset om my ATV1.1, updated to 2.0 and tried to patch it - but it just reboots with no patch installing. What am i missing?
  • sambo
    hi j.canal. i had the same problem, today i try to patchstick it, and works fine.
    now we have 2.0 firmware unlocked
  • chiperman
    Did this a couple of months ago.
    Used a ready Patchstick img file.
    And put it on my USB stick with WinImage (http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/gvolla...)

    Guys,

    Anybody a mirror of dd for windows? Seems like the host is down..

    Cheers
  • Spids: I have been in talks with the awkwardtv admin but he has been really busy lately. He said he would do a post soon on it. I hope so! He was actually the person that gave me the idea to open atv4windows.com

    Awesome. Easiest ATV fix I've done. Nice work and excellent guide.

    I had an ATV 1.0 which I updated to 2.0 just before the patch stick. Doing a factory restore, will reset the ATV back to 1.0. I suspect that what's happened to the poster above -- as it happened to me.
  • spids
    someone should put this on the www.awkwardtv.org wiki?
  • ben
    Super easy - can't thank you enough
  • No that is not normal. I would try again.
  • sambo
    it try it and it runs perfect on appletv 1.0 upgraded to 2.0.
    But, after patchstick, The firmware return to 1.x version. Is it usual?
    Thanks. Great job!!!!
  • Congrats! Hope more try it out!
