Parts Needed
- External USB Drive
- partition.img repair.img and efi.img from an apple tv drive
The Steps
I AM WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DO A SECONDARY CONFIRMATION PLEASE REMOVE THIS NOTE IF YOU HAVE CONFIRMED We are going to modify the repair image and the os that it installs when you factory reset
- Mount repair.img on your Intel Mac OS desktop/laptop
- Convert the existing OS.img to one that is writeable:
hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o RW.dmg /Volumes/Recovery/OS.dmg
- Mount the new RW.img
- Copy sshd and the plist file onto the new OSBoot you created
cp /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ssh.plist /Volumes/OSBoot/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ssh.plist cp /usr/sbin/sshd /Volumes/OSBoot/usr/sbin/sshd
- Convert the new RW.img back into a readonly compressed image
hdiutil convert -format UDZO -o NEWOS.dmg RW.dmg
- Copy the NEWOS image onto the repair image
cp NEWOS.dmg /Volumes/Recovery/OS.dmg
- unmount the recovery image
- Now we are going to setup the external drive:
dd if=partition.img of=/dev/disk# bs=1024k count=100 dd if=EFI.img of=/dev/disk#s1 dd if=repair.img of=/dev/disk#s2
- plug in the usb drive to the appletv after its booted
- press menu and - on the remote
- then run factory restore
