Apple TV 4 Jailbreak for TvOS 10-10.1
Want to Install Kodi on your Apple TV? - TURN AUTO UPDATE OFF NOW!
Good news for those wanting to run Kodi on their Apple TV 4 media streamers. Jonathan Levin just released a jailbreak named LiberTV. The bad news is it only works on tvOS 10.0-10.1 so if you updated your Apple TV 4 to 10.1.1 or 10.1.2 you're out of luck for now, because Apple already patched the hole.
If your Apple TV 4 is at the magic firmware version, be sure to turn off auto update and proceed with the instructions to jailbreak your new Kodi box below.
About This Jailbreak
FEATURES:
No NitoTV Support - Don't install it yet as it could cause problems. A working version is being worked on and coming soon.
LiberTV Can Turn Auto Updates Off - Once installed be sure not to let your Apple TV auto update, or you will lose the ability to jailbreak.
Dropbear SSH Client - After jailbreaking your Apple TV, you can then use SSH to access or side load files.
Don't Give Up - This jailbreak may not work the fist time and could require several attempts to get in. This is the nature of the Apple TV 4 and it is a bit tougher than prior jailbreaks you may be used to.
No support yet for Cydia although once more people start using this jailbreak, it may soon be forthcoming.
