Today we have a hot and fresh new beta version of Seas0nPass for your testing pleasure.

Added ability to use those extracted signatures to restore an ATV2.
What are iFaith signatures?
iFaith signatures are useful since they are based on whatever version the Apple TV is CURRENTLY running, allowing you to re-install or jailbreak that version even if it is no longer being signed.
Saving iFaith firmware signatures (Mac)

The 0.9.3 release version now supports blob extraction.
Thanks ultrapop. I will try a few more time using iFaith. Seasonpass probably will not work for me because this particular ATV2 I have is still on 4.0 (virgin). The newer seasonpass starts with 4.2.1 or 4.1? Anyway I bought it from an auction site, the previous owner probably never used it or just never bother to update it. I have other ATV2s jailbroken, so this is more like a learning unit for me. :P
Interesting and frustrating as heck on how iFaith signatures are extractable with an OSX platform tool like this and the author of iFaith can’t seem to get his crap together to produce an OSX version of his tool.
I’m not dissin anyone, just frustrated after spending tens of hours using iFaith on windoze to finally have iFaith puke up blobs.
Good work here folks, glad to see progress on this. I’ll give it a go on my newer ATV when you’re out of beta.
