Apple TV Back In Business
April 4, 2008 | 08:37Patchstick didn’t work for me, so I had to figure out something else. Everything is back to normal (software version 2.0), thanks to this forum post, which is a bit sketchy, so here is the correct version:
Open a terminal
diskutil list
You should see something like this
/dev/disk1
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *232.9 Gi disk1
1: Apple_HFS Media 231.4 Gi disk1s4
2: Apple_Recovery 400.0 Mi disk1s1
3: Apple_HFS OSBoot 900.0 Mi disk1s2
4: EFI 200.0 Mi disk1s3
The partition important to us is Apple_Recovery, which, in my case, is located at disk1s1
You may have to change disk1s1 to something else, depending on your system!
cd /Volumes
mkdir recovery
sudo mount -t hfs /dev/disk1s1 /Volumes/recovery
cd recovery
sudo cp -p OS.dmg /Users/<yourusernamehere>/OS.dmg.backup
We copy the original recovery image to our user folder, just in case something goes wrong.
Download the Take 2 Recovery Image at
http://mesu.apple.com/data/OS/061-3561.20080212.ScoH6/2Z694-5274-109.dmg
sudo cp -p /Users/<yourusernamehere>/Downloads/2Z694-5274-109.dmg /Volumes/recovery/OS.dmg
Eject the drive with
diskutil umountDisk /dev/disk1
Put the Apple TV back together, do a factory restore and everything should work fine!
Use this How-To at your own risk! I can not held be responsible if something goes wrong!
