Over the last few days, there have been groundbreaking jailbreak releases floating over the Internet, thanks to invaluable contribution from the elite group of hackers comprising MuscleNerd, Pod2g, i0n1c and the iPhone Dev Team. It has hardly been 48 hours since the release of Apple's new update and we hear the great news of unprecedented jailbreak updates available for download.

Meanwhile, the Firecore team of hackers have unleashed a new update of Seas0npass which jailbreaks Apple TV 2 / 3 on iOS 5.0.1 and iOS 5.1.1 for both Windows and Mac.

Seas0nPass's latest version - 0.8.4 has seen the light of day in such a short span of time with an apparent minimal effort from jailbreak developers that it is almost a joy ride for the worldwide community of jailbreakers. According to Jailbreak Untethered, it is a given fact that any jailbreak would take more than just hard work from jailbreak developers to breach Apple's security barriers in a short time and still pull off a blinder.

With due credit to jailbreak developers, Apple TV 2 / 3 users can now run Seas0nPass 0.8.4 for a successful tethered jailbreak on iOS 5.1.1, which is Apple's latest software update.

There are a couple of Apple TV software versions that need you to get your Apple TV connected to your computer during startup in order for the jailbreak process to be completed successfully. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to Jailbreak Your Apple TV 2 tethered on iOS 5.1.1 Using Seas0nPass 0.8.4 and accompanied by a step-by-step guide on how to use Seas0nPass for a "Tethered Boot".

There are a few pre-requisites you need to accomplish before we start jailbreaking your Apple TV 2/3 on iOS 5.1.1 with Seas0nPass tethered jailbreak tool.

4. When prompted, connect your Apple TV to your Mac/PC using the micro-USB cable

5. Once the light on the front of the Apple TV begins to flash rapidly, point the remote at the Apple TV and hold both the MENU and PLAY/PAUSE buttons for 7 seven seconds. Note: This step will require the silver (aluminum) Apple TV remote that was included with the ATV2. The older, white (plastic) remotes will not work.
