I noticed the version I have is pre 11.0, I want to revert back to 10.1 dharma since this is the latest official build. There are some repos/addons missing in pre 11. Please help me on how to do this without restarting from scratch with my database. I have everything all set up correctly and would hate to go back and setup all my shares again.

Tis not possible. 10.1 never came out for ATV2 (the code being used actually jumped that version and went to pre-11 rather than merging the ATV2-branched code with the 10.1 code).

The closest thing possible is "10.0-7", which is the last version with dharma compatible code, but is full of bugs and is a massive step backwards.

There are a few things you can do and not have to downgrade:

•Check out the add-on sub-forum and check for new/test versions of the add-ons you want to install.

•Force XBMC to use existing add-ons (sometimes works, sometime doesn't) by doing this: http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=823821&postcount=2

•Contact the authors of your missing add-ons and tell them to get their butts in gear and update either their code or check for compatibility so the add-on can be added back to the official repos.

Can you give us a list of which add-ons you are looking for? Just today I helped someone find some alternatives for their add-ons, and the end result was that we actually found something better than what was in the official repos.

ned scott I am actually looking for the original ALASKA add-on. I would like to have this running on my XBMC if its compatible with it.

Force XBMC to use existing add-ons (sometimes works, sometime doesn't) by doing this: http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=823821&postcount=2

To solve this earlier, I've just downgraded XBMC to the point where an add-on was available in the repo, installed the add-on, and then upgraded XBMC again. (In my case I went back to "10.0-7" to get hold of the "NRK" add-on.)

But now, after a re-jb, I can't quite remember exactly how I did the downgrade. I tried "apt-get install org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2=10.0-7", but I just got an error saying the 10.0-7 version was not found...

Thanks,
Rune.

Code:

Apple-TV:~ root# apt-get install org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2=10.0-7

E: Version '10.0-7' for 'org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2' was not found

Anyone?
Is the 10.0-7 version available in the repo?

Choose the correct link, step in via ssh, type

wget herethelinktoyourpreferredversion
dpkg -i herethefileyoujustdownloaded
rm herethefileyoujustdownloadedandinstalled

done.

Thanks!
Hmm. That info is actually quite clearly stated in the FAQ thread. The fact that I indeed had read it too doesn't make it better... Next time I'll try to do my homework...

I followed these steps to downgrade xbmc to 10.0-7 however I when I select XBMC from the apple menu, the atv just reboots. I thought I would start from scratch and re-jailbreak my atv and I still get the same thing. These are the exact steps I took:

1) Jailbreak ATV2
2) apt-get install wget
3) wget -O- http://apt.awkwardtv.org/awkwardtv.pub | apt-key add -
4) echo "deb http://apt.awkwardtv.org/ stable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/awkwardtv.list
5) echo "deb http://mirrors.xbmc.org/apt/atv2 ./" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xbmc.list
6) apt-get update
7) apt-get install org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2
8) reboot
9) wget http://mirrors.xbmc.org/apt/atv2/deb/org...os-arm.deb
10) dpkg -i org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2_10.0-7_iphoneos-arm.deb
11) reboot

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

version 10.0-7 will only work under 4.2 I think.

[kevthor]

Thanks for the reply. Is it possible to downgrade to 4.2 and if so, how?

google 'shsh blobs', if you don't have it, there's no way to get it.
