Jailbreak Apple TV 2G PwnageTool 4.1.2

The all new PwnageTool 4.1.2 brings support for the 2nd-generation Apple TV. You can use it to cook custom firmware for Apple TV 2G which in future will allow you to install third party apps from Cydia.
========================================­­­­­­­­­­===========================

Step 1: Download and install the latest version of iTunes.

Step 2: Download PwnageTool 4.1.2 and the original iOS 4.1 for Apple TV 2G. (download links given below). Move all these files to your desktop.

Step 3: Start PwnageTool and select Apple TV 2G.

Step 4: PwnageTool will now automatically detect the correct firmware for your device.

Step 5: Click on "Yes" when iTunes shows up.

Step 6: PwnageTool will now create the custom .ipsw file for your Apple TV 2G which will be jailbroken.

Step 7: Now follow the following steps to enter DFU mode:

Connect your Apple TV with your Computer via microUSB.

Now reboot your Apple TV by holding down Menu + Down buttons together for around 6 seconds.

After reboot, immediately hold Menu + Play until you see the message in iTunes saying that Apple TV in recovery mode is detected.

Step 8: You will now have to restore your Apple TV 2G to this custom firmware 4.1 file. Start iTunes, click on your device icon from the sidebar in iTunes. Now press and hold left "alt" button on the keyboard and then click on "Restore" (Not "Update" or "Check for Update").
This will make iTunes prompt you to select the location for your custom firmware 4.1 file. Select the required custom .ipsw file and click on "Open".

Step 9: Now sit back and enjoy as iTunes does the rest for you. This will involve a series of automated steps. Be patient at this stage and don't do anything silly. Just wait while iTunes installs the new firmware 4.1 on your Apple TV 2G. After the installation is done, your Apple TV 2G will restart automatically and you should now have a jailbroken Apple TV with full root access, running on iOS 4.1.
