So I had been running Linux on my ATV and wanted to revert back to the regular ATV software.
I followed the instructions here: http://code.google.com/p/atv-bootloader/wiki/ATVBackup Essentially, after wiping the drive and recreating the partition setup, I copied the files from the Firmware update into the atvrecv partition. It boots with the apple logo and shows me the language selection screen. Once on the language select screen, I cannot select my language or move the cursor at all. The light on the front flashes when I press any button, and it still responds to the special key presses, like Menu & >> for pairing the remote, or Menu & - for rebooting. Somewhere somebody mentioned holding down the Menu key while the ATV boots. This does not solve my problem. I've attempted using both 2Z694-5789-067.dmg and 2Z694-5660-029.dmg direct from mesu.apple.com. I'm trying to download the 1.0 firmware from rapidshare now, but I don't really expect a different outcome. Any suggestions on how to un-freeze my Apple TV?
