Hey, thanks for that line by line, that's great. Unfortunately, I saw it just after I had already replaced my factory restore image with 2.2 (which worked fine). I'm just patching now, and will be crazy happy to be back on 2.2.
I didn't want 2.3 in the first place, but hadn't disable updates, and something crashed on my ATV causing it to reboot and load 2.3. Oh well, all is now good! Not only the black screen problems, but it seemed everything was a bit slower. Plus, my folks are coming here in a week for Christmas, and I can't see them trying to figure out "press up twice, and then enter twice" to back out.

I've followed the steps exactly, and it seems to have been successful, only thing is ATV hasn't budged. What is supposed to happen after I've copy and pasted these commands in? Am I mistaken in assuming that this would restart my ATV? Or is there another step I'm to do after I get the "3 rules" bit? I should mention, after doing the restore and ATVCreator, I carried out your instructions on v1.0 . That is to say I did NOT hit "Update software" before doing it.

I'm a little lost as to what to do here.....
After this process is completed I get:
bash-2.05b$ chmod 755 osupdate
-bash-2.05b$ sudo chown root:wheel osupdate
We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.
Do I need to restart the ATV, or is it supposed to initiate it's own re-start?

Fingers crossed that somebody can help me out here!? Upgraded to 2.3 (BAD decision) and now most of my ripped DVD's will not play audio because I ripped them all with just 5.1 sound. I want to drop back to 2.1 on my AppleTV but nothing seems to work for me - using simple Factory Restore simply reboots my AppleTV as normal, -/menu does the same (no Restore option). I have tried the pdf process to make restore partition 2.1 - no joy, tried the script to downgrade - errors, tried it line by line - it all seems to work but restore simply reboots as normal. No matter what I try to do the AppleTV simply reboots into 2.3 with the XMBC etc additions (atvusbcreator used after 2.3 update).
Is there anything that I can do ... or I can be pointed at - that will tell me how to force a factory restore (even tried -/menu held down for 6 restarts - still no luck). 2.3 seems stuck to the thing like glue.
Help?! Please?!
Thanks in advance

OK - I've now taken my Apple TV all the way back to 1.0 (with a 1.0 factory restore in place). I'm going to try one (or all) of the methods here to try to get it to 2.1 - I am thinking that perhaps my previous 2.3 was somehow "stuck" and so am hoping that an upward move from 1.0 to 2.1 will be more achievable. Think I'll try the script (line by line) first - and if this doesn't work then will try modifying the restore partition to 2.1. Fingers crossed.

The struggle continues..... Have AppleTV at 1.0. Have tried to run the 2.1 update script ... absolutely nothing happens!? Have cut paste the contents of the script line-by-line as suggested.... and get this:
-bash-2.05b$ sudo ./osupdate
2008-12-30 10:54:51.131 osupdate[199] Running on Apple TV 1.0

Sooooo - now going to try changing the restore partition to 2.1 - fingers crossed. Any interpretation re the error message above from anyone who can tell me what I may be doing wrong would be gratefully received. Had an AppleTV since day one and have never had any problems with the hacks etc - until now!
Thanks
