Been reading and testing a ton but I am stuck. Here is the scoop.
I was successfully jailbroken on 4.2 (4.1.1) using the tethered jailbreak with no issues. Like a dumbass, I decided i wanted to go unthethered to keep the wife happy in the event of a power outage.
First, I restored the system to stock. To do this, I plugged the ATV using only the microusb and no power to my laptop and did a regular restore. All went fine and the unit boots normally and can be configured. I can repeat this with no issue.
Second, I attempted the JB using the instructions in this post:

All works fine until the unit needs to be rebooted after the jailbreak is finished. The unit will come to the apple logo and hang. I have tried the method above as well as the method in the GP instructions on screen which involve leaving the power plug in. No go. I tried reloading stock multiple times and attempting the GP JB again with no luck. It always the same with the unit stuck at the apple boot logo.
Finally, I decide I will stick with the tethered method until this gets smoother. When I restore my custom firmware and tethered boot, my network no longer works. This was the same custom firmware that worked previously. I even went so far as to create another custom firmware and try it that way but im running into the same issue with networking.
So now I'm totally ****** Anyone got any suggestions??
By the way, thanks to all the guys who help out and contribute here. Us noobs appreciate it.
