Okay so basically the Apple TV 4K is powered by an A10X CPU, which is susceptible to the checkm8 exploit. This means the Apple TV 4K can jailbreak for life, regardless of the version of tvOS. This is just like how the iPhone X can jailbreak iOS 13 and up forever! The only problem is that the Apple TV 4K doesn’t have a USB port. Instead the device ships with simply HDMI, power, and ethernet.
However the ethernet has a dirt little secret, it contains a debugging port! We can use this (by tearing the Apple TV 4K apart and installing a breakout board) to piggyback off of it and gain USB / DFU connectivity!
Yes this is required, and it will always be required, until someone finds a better way (if they ever do). There’s talk that an easier solution may be coming, but it would be very far off. So that’s why we need a breakout box / board.
— — — — — — Installing Breakout Steps — — — — — —
Step 1 (4:41) – Pry off the bottom of the device.
Step 2 (6:11) – Unscrew the 4 T7 torx screws.
Step 3 (7:06) – Solder pin 10 to the gold contact shown in the video.
Step 4 (11:18) – Solder pins 4, 5, and 6 to the corresponding ethernet ports.
Step 5 (14:26) – Connect breakout cable and reassemble.
Step 6 (17:02) – Plug in micro USB and test it.
Congratulations, if you followed all of the steps outlined in this video, you’ll be able to jailbreak your Apple TV 4K forever! As long as Apple continues to support the device, you’ll be able to jailbreak it with this (semi) simple hardware mod. Seriously, don’t let it intimidate you, it’s doable with minimal soldering experience.
