After Cydia/NitoTV update, ATV2 won't boot
#1
ATV2 running iOS 4.2.2.
For the past few days XBMC hasn't been starting half the time (just hangs at a black screen), so I wanted to clean up and reinstall XBMC. I went into NitoTV and it said it had to update Cydia and a few other things. After the update I rebooted. Now I'm just just stuck at the Apple logo. Tried disconnecting and reconnecting power several times.
Problem is, I can't find my blobs anywhere to restore to 4.2.2 (I though I stored them, but stuff on my HDD has been moved around a lot). I do still have the IPSW created by Sn0breeze, but iTunes won't restore it (likely because they're no longer signing 4.2.2). I'm hoping there's another solution than doing a normal restore, because that would push down iOS 5.1 which AFAIK doesn't have a jailbreak yet.
Anyone have any tips?

(maybe it's time to get a cheap Windows box to run XBMC instead)

Good news. It looks like Apple is still signing the 5.0.2 firmware, so I'm restoring that (though I hate the iOS 5 GUI) and will do the jailbreak.
