The video focuses on performing an untethered jailbreak on certain Apple TV models using the Black Box jailbreak tool. It supports Apple TV 2G, Apple TV 3, and the 2013 version of Apple TV 3, but not Apple TV 4 or Apple TV 4K. The method involves connecting the Apple TV to a Mac and utilizing the Black Box tool, with older Apple TV 3 models requiring an Arduino setup for the Checkmate exploit, a hardware vulnerability that Apple cannot patch. The jailbreak process, detailed on the GitHub page, includes putting the device into DFU mode and following on-screen instructions, leading the tool to install Kodi, an open-source entertainment platform, making it a robust and persistent solution that doesn’t need reapplying after a reboot.

In this segment of the video, the presenter explains a method to perform an untethered jailbreak on certain Apple TV models using the Black Box jailbreak tool. Supported devices include Apple TV 2G, Apple TV 3, and Apple TV 3 (2013 model), while Apple TV 4 and Apple TV 4K are not supported. To jailbreak, you need to connect your Apple TV to a Mac, and the Black Box tool handles the rest. For older Apple TV 3 models (3,1), an Arduino setup is required to load the Checkmate exploit, which is key to this jailbreak method. The Checkmate exploit targets a hardware vulnerability that Apple cannot patch, making it a robust solution for jailbreaking. The presenter also mentions providing necessary links and details for ease of access.

In this part of the video, the presenter explains how to jailbreak an Apple TV using the Black Box tool. The process involves putting the Apple TV into DFU mode, following on-screen instructions, and then using the tool to complete the jailbreak. Once the jailbreak is done, the Apple TV will automatically install Kodi, an open-source entertainment platform, adding features like movies. This jailbreak is persistent and won’t need to be redone after a reboot. The presenter highlights that the process is straightforward for Apple TV 2 and 3 models, with detailed instructions available on the GitHub page. For some models, an Arduino setup may be required for the checkmate exploit, while others can be easily jailbroken without it. The segment concludes with a summary of steps and a sign-off from the presenter.
