Please again....

Can someone send me the smallatv.dmg image, so I can fully restore my appletv?
I would be happy to do the regular updates on my appletv.

Since 2.1 I am not able to get appletv updates any more.

Maybe this can help to let you update:

Type: cat /etc/hosts

if you see 127.0.0.1 mesu.apple.com

then you should type:
sudo sed '$d' < /etc/hosts > file2 ; sudo mv file2 /etc/hosts

this will make it possible to update it again.

i have seen a few people ask for alternative downloads

so......
rapidshare
h**p://rapidshare.com/files/248251989/smallatv.rar.html

that file is 170mb
if anyone would like it in 100mb parts or uploaded to any other site just shout


like this aaaarrrrrrrrrrr

hi there,
I've downloaded the image of Magistke. First of all thanks. But now, I extract the .rar files with zipeg (I have a macbook) and when I want to mount it. I can't. It has an error that says: "archive system that can't be mount".
Does anybody know why? Is the file smallatv.rar correct?
thanks.

A few weeks ago I posted a link to my ATV 1.1 restore partition, but obviously the post was deleted.

If anyone needs that file, just send me a PM.

yes please, I need this image. I've sent you a privage message. Thanks.

ok ash, thanks a lot for the image.
But, wich are the steps once I've downloaded the recovery partition? thanks!!

Depending on how screwed your harddisk is, you have to either follow this guide (ATVBackup - atv-bootloader - Project Hosting on Google Code) to recreate your whole partition scheme.
If you just lost your recovery partition, then you can simply "dd in=recovery.dmg out=/dev/diskx".

thanks again,
but nothing works...
This is that happens...

shouldn't it be

PHP Code:

sudo dd if="IMAGE" of=/dev/disk1 bs=1024k 


IMAGE is the name of the .dmg file and you need to cd in to a folder where the file is.

thats what I did with "smallatv"

I could be wrong, it was a few months back.
