Step 1: Plug your power cable and USB micro cable in. Connect your USB micro cable to your computer.

Step 2: Download Seas0nPass, and install. Run Seas0nPass, and it will create custom firmware, and guide you through jailbreaking your device including DFU mode instructions.

Step 3: Perform a tethered boot from Seas0npass’ main screen.

Step 4: Verify that the FireCore logo is on your Apple TV’s interface.

Jailbreaking an Apple TV with Seas0nPass is simply a joy, and even though it’s a tethered jailbreak, rarely if ever will you need to perform a tethered boot. That’s because in most cases the device is always supplied with power, unlike an iPhone, iPad, etc.
