[atv-bootloader] Re: Apple TV not using the usb drive to boot
I see this behaviour when I plug in a USB extender (powered). If I plug it in, then plug in my USB key into it, ATV skips the USB and boots directly to Apple. If I unplug the USB extender and plug in my USB key directly, then it boots via the USB key. Once booted, I unplug the USB key, plugin the extender, plug the USB key into the extender and all it good. Not sure if you are doing something similar. -- Dave -- To post to this group, send email to atv-bootloader@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/atv-bootloader?hl=en

I am not sure what the problem is but when I am using my 2G Sandisk drive I dont even have to hold the Menu + Down button. It boots directly into the USB drive. One thing I do though is power it on with the USB drive. I pull the power chord out, plug in the USB drive and then put the power chord back in. I have seen this working with patchsticks created by both the atv-bootloader and atv-usbcreator. -- Bharath -- To post to this group, send email to atv-bootloader@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/atv-bootloader?hl=en

[atv-bootloader] Re: Apple TV not using the usb drive to boot
Hi, I did that and the Apple TV restarts (correctly according to the Wiki), but instead of booting from the usb drive it boots from the hard drive and shows me the menu that I mentioned before. If I continue to hold the buttons after the Apple TV restarts, then it just keeps rebooting and never gets anywhere. So, my question is: Do I need to do something else? Or am I doing something wrong? -- To post to this group, send email to atv-bootloader@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/atv-bootloader?hl=en
Re: [atv-bootloader] Re: Apple TV not using the usb drive to boot
I would try to use a smaller usb drive. I think I used a 128m or so. Its been over 3 years since made the one I have but I just used it again last night on a new atv I just picked up. Other than that just follow the directions carefully step by step I had a few issues as you and all I did was redo the steps carefully and it worked eventually.

Re: [atv-bootloader] Re: Apple TV not using the usb drive to boot
My past experience is that the cheap USB drives do not work as well with Apple based products. You are better off to buy a SanDisk or Kensington (the smaller ones are not that much money) and save yourself the headache.

Re: [atv-bootloader] Re: Apple TV not using the usb drive to boot
Ok, at that point I think something is wrong with the patchstick you made. Check the patchstick for gpt partition format and HFS primary partition with atvrecv flag set. parted -s /dev/sdx should show you this info.
