In a tweet a few moments ago, MuscleNerd has confirmed that the exploit found by i0n1c will in fact work for the Apple TV 2G.

The jailbreak itself will be packaged up and come in the form of both an updated Redsn0w and Pwnage Tool.

If you’re anything like me, I can’t wait for the updated release of Redsn0w and the Pwnage Tool. No doubt, given time, tools like Seas0nPass and others will be updated to include the untethered exploit once it has been released.

Be sure to follow us on twitter for all the updates!…

Previously we posted that Greenpois0n RC6 had been released which provides an untethered jailbreak for the Apple TV 2G. The PwnageTool (an application for Mac users) has now been updated which allows users to jailbreak using a custom restore through iTunes.

Jailbreaking using version of the Pwnage Tool is the same as previous versions that have been released. Please click here for a tutorial on how to jailbreak using this tool.

Also, one huge advantage of using the PwnageTool is that it contains a fix for the wifi issues users have been having. Earlier today we also posted a tutorial on how to manually solve the wifi problems that users had encountered after jailbreaking using Greenpois0n, this version of the PwnageTool has this fix built into it.…
