View source for Safe Update 1.1 Step by Step

== Requirements ==
To follow these steps you will need to have:

* SSH enabled on your AppleTV (I won't get into that but [[Main_Page|the main page]] is a good start).

This can all be done with the built in safe update from nitoTV's installation manager:
[[NitoTV#Safe_Update]]


== Step One: IP Address ==
Make you sure know the ip address of your AppleTV. You can find this in your AppleTV menus under Settings:Network.

== Step Two: Download ==
Download the update from apple. 
The DMG is accessible from http://mesu.apple.com/data/OS/061-2988.20070620.bHy75/2Z694-5248-45.dmg and it weighs in at 179MB (188,072,708 bytes).

== Step Three: Send it to the AppleTV ==

=== From Mac OSX ===
* Open a new Terminal window from your OSX Applications:Utilities folder and navigate to the folder you stored the update DMG in;
* Type <pre> sftp -1 frontrow@apple_tv_ip_address </pre> into the terminal window (substituting ''apple_tv_ip_address'' with your apple tv's ip address). Note: the password is "frontrow";
* Enter <pre> put 2Z694-5248-45.dmg </pre> The dmg will now copy to your AppleTV. Once transfer is complete type <pre> bye </pre> which will close the sftp connection.

=== From KDE ===
* Open Konqueror;
* Navigate to the folder where you put the update DMG in;
* Right-click on the DMG, select "Copy" from the context menu;
* Open a new tab;
* Type <pre> fish://frontrow:frontrow@apple_tv_ip_address/Users/frontrow </pre> in the address bar (again, substituting ''apple_tv_ip_address'' with your apple tv's ip address). You may have to accept the ''apple_tv_ip_address'' to continue, and you may have to type the "frontrow" password again; 
* Select "Edit" from the main menu, then "Paste 1 file".

== Step Four: SSH ==

* Type <pre> ssh -1 frontrow@apple_tv_ip_address </pre> in a terminal window (once more, substituting ''apple_tv_ip_address'' with your AppleTV's ip address). You will have to type the "frontrow" password again;
* Next type in <pre> sudo mount -uw / </pre> and if prompted enter "frontrow" for the password.

== Step Five: Backing up ==
Now you can execute the following commands to make a backup of your 1.0 Software.

  mkdir 1.0.backup
  cp -p -r "/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Backrow.Framework" ~/1.0.backup
  cp -p -r "/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app" ~/1.0.backup

== Step Six: Extracting ==
Now execute the following commands to extract the files necessary from the 1.1 update.

  mkdir 1.1.files
  hdiutil mount 2Z694-5248-45.dmg
  cp -p -r "/Volumes/OSBoot 1/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/BackRow.Framework" ~/1.1.files
  cp -p -r "/Volumes/OSBoot 1/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AppleTV.Framework" ~/1.1.files
  cp -p -r "/Volumes/OSBoot 1/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/iPhotoAccess.Framework" ~/1.1.files
  cp -p -r "/Volumes/OSBoot 1/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app" ~/1.1.files

== Step Seven: Replacing ==
Execute the following commands to remove the old files and replace them with the newly extracted ones.

  sudo rm -r /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/BackRow.Framework
  sudo rm -r /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/iPhotoAccess.Framework
  sudo rm -r /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app
  sudo cp -p -r ~/1.1.files/Backrow.Framework /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks
  sudo cp -p -r ~/1.1.files/AppleTV.Framework /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks
  sudo cp -p -r ~/1.1.files/iPhotoAccess.Framework /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks
  sudo cp -p -r ~/1.1.files/Finder.app /System/Library/CoreServices

== Step Eight: Fix 'sleep' ==
To fix an issue with the sleep fuction no longer working please execute the following:

  sudo chmod u+s /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AppleTV.framework/Resources/SettingsHelper
  sudo chown root:wheel /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AppleTV.framework/Resources/SettingsHelper

== Step Nine: Prevent new upgrades ==
To make sure the software update doesn't automatically do a full upgrade to 1.1, make it impossible to reach the update server.

  sudo bash -c 'echo "127.0.0.1       mesu.apple.com" >> /etc/hosts'

== Step Ten: Reboot ==
Reboot the AppleTV by executing

  sudo reboot

and you should have your AppleTV working smoothly by now...
