Hello!

Russian have found the problem resolution of update ATV on 4.2.2...

We load: http: //www.megaupload.com/?d=9RRLTLBU

We launch the program: /Applications/Utilities/terminal.app


sudo nano /private/etc/hosts


##

# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface

##

127.0.0.1 localhost

255.255.255.255 broadcasthost

::1 localhost

fe80::1%lo0 localhost



We leave in adjustments host only it!


Further we push alt and we select a file. We expect the termination of all checks and setting.

I have the same problem, i´m trying to upgrade with a faulty USB cable (Blackberry cable) and my ATV2 die


the solution:

-buy a reliable cable (nokia cable)

-disconnect all

-connect Only USB

-inmediatly push menu and play pause ( 7 sec)

-open itunes

- now you will see the restore option

- this is the secret part: before push restore button connect the power cord

- continue with the restore

- finish and enjoy the ATV2 with 4.3.3 8f455


Saludos.
