Hi,

I have ATV2 running XBMC, configured to boot directly with apt-get install org.tomcool.xbmc-booter


However now, after months of working it will not startup, I see the Apple Logo then a black screen.


I realise now 'should' have enabled USB support as per http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=117256


But alas I had not, is there any other way I can get into the black box, through usb, ftp, ssh, esp etc

Or is the only option I have to reflash, loose all my customizations and learn to back stuff up in future.

thanks

Just use SSH. Then run

Thanks Dean,

But because it is in a boot loop I can't connect to it via ssh or ftp, so unless there is some kind of safe mode or usb access I think i'm stuffed...time to reflash.

Oh right. Nah you won't be able to use ssh if it doesn't boot properly. Restore/jailbreak is your only bet probably.
