Electra Team is back at it again with another jailbreak tool for the Apple TV community! Here’s how you can download and install ElectraTV jailbreak for your Apple TV 4k and Apple TV 4 set-top boxes below.
ElectraTV is a semi-untethered jailbreak for tvOS 11.2-11.3. It is developed by Electra Team, nitoTV and Justin Williams.
Apart from porting Electra jailbreak to Apple TV, nitoTV also seeded another jailbreak called backr00m for older tvOS firmware versions.
You can check the full compatibility list out for your Apple TV below. But before you move on, keep the following points in mind –
- Remember, Electra Team erroneously included tvOS 11.3.1 in the compatibility list. However, Apple never released such a version and you should ignore it.
- tvOS 11 was the initial release for Apple TV 4K and tvOS 10 is usable only on Apple TV 4th-generation.
- tvOS versions above 11.3 (11.4 and 11.4.1) are not supported as of right now owing to the nature of Ian Beer’s exploits.
