Here were the exact steps I did. I'm very precise here, forgive me
1. Installed Java JRE from http://www.java.com because tinyumbrella requires it and I hadn't installed until now
2. downloaded tinyumbrella-4.21.11.exe from thefirmwareumbrella.blogspot.com
3. totally disconnect ATV2 power/hdmi from TV
4. connect power cable to ATV2, waited 20 secs
5. connect micro USB from ATV2 to PC
6. Waited a while for iTunes to come up. Closed iTunes.
7. Ran tinyumbrella-4.21.11.exe - it immediately recognizes ATV2, Single clicked 'Connected Devices->Apple TV' in upper left of app.. shows 'The device is connected' at bottom, and automatically shows info about it at bottom of app (ECID, firmware rev, serial# etc)
8. Clicked 'Save SHSH' button at upper right
9. App shows that various firmware shsh (AppleTV 4.2 (8C150), AppleTV 4.2.1 (8C154), AppleTV 4.3b2 (8F5153d), AppleTV 4.3b3 (8F5166b)) are being saved, progress meter on bottom moving.
10. After about 1 min 50 seconds, progress meter completes.
After it's all done, under the 'Log' tab it shows this text below. SHSH blobs are saved locally to C:\Users\<user>\.shsh folder and also to Cydia servers.
Thank you. These instructions should be a sticky all of their own.
