Jailbreak Apple TV 4 on tvOS 12 with Chimera! NO tvOS 12.3 or 4K – AppleTV 4 Jailbreak (appletv4jailbreak.com)
Jailbreak Apple TV 4 – Fourth Generation Tutorial with Chimera tvOS 12.1.1 Jailbreak – Today, we’re going to show you how to jailbreak Apple TV 4 on tvOS 12.1.1! That’s right, it’s actually still possible to jailbreak an Apple TV in 2019. Similar to the Chimera A12 iOS 12 jailbreak that was recently released, today’s utility utilizes the same exploits. In fact the Electra Team has worked with nitoTV to make Chimera fully compatible with the Apple tvOS 12 firmware. Unfortunately though, your Apple TV 4k or 4th generation will need to be running tvOS 12 through 12.1.1. This jailbreak isn’t compatible with tvOS 12.3. Again, you cannot jailbreak tvOS 12.3 as of now. Also this only works with the 4th gen Apple TV, and not the latest Apple TV 4k.
Jailbreak Apple TV Support: tvOS 12 – 12.1.1
As mentioned above this jailbreak functions on the tvOS equality of iOS 12.1.1. Furthermore due to similar restrictions found with iOS, it’s no longer possible to restore back to tvOS 12.1.1 or lower because the firmwares are no longer signed by Apple. The Jailbreak will function on the following hardware/software combinations:
- Apple TV 4th gen (2015)
running tvOS 12.0.1, 12.1, 12.1.1
Neither tvOS 12.3 nor the Apple TV 4K (2017) are supported by this Apple TV jailbreak.
