For those of you that still have their Apple TVs on tvOS 11.3 depending on your situation you can jailbreak it with one of the tutorials below.
greeng0blin is an Apple TV jailbreak tool for tvOS 10.2.2 firmware. Similar to Cydia does on jailbroken iOS. It was developed by Kevin Bradley (@nitoTV) and Justin Williams (@Jaywalker). As you may have noticed nitoTV has been very busy this week.
Many users have noticed their Kodi and other non-Apple App Store installed (side loaded) applications has been removed from their devices following an update. When clicking on Kodi they get the “Kodi is no longer available” error message. The reason is simple, Apple restores all devices to a “factory like” state after all updates. Which means if your device has a “non approved” or “sideloaded” apps like Kodi they will be removed. So if reloading your apps constantly is something you enjoy then for you this article ends here. But for the rest of us, stopping automatic updates will stop Kodi’s removal on your ATV4.
Amazing news!
The Pangu Team, responsible for many iOS jailbreaks (and most recently the iOS 9.1 jailbreak) have recently announced they are on the verge of officially releasing a jailbreak for the Apple TV 4 via tweet.
We will release jb for Apple TV4(9.0.x) next week which only has SSH access. It’s mainly for security researchers and jailbreak developers.

Previously adding Kodi to the ATV4 was a bit of a difficult task as only MAC users can do it. But with a jailbreak the task will be opened to anyone (MAC or PC users).
The jailbreak will only include SSH access (for now *fingers crossed*) which means adding Kodi may require a bit of skill but it will definately be easier than the current options.

An official version of Kodi for ATV4 is now available in it’s Alpha stage. Certain thing within Kodi will not work but it’s a move in the right direction shortly after MRMC released his version of Kodi. As it is still in the Alpha phase there are still quite a few things that do not work correctly. But this is still a HUGE step towards a full version of Kodi on the Apple TV. In the next few days the Apple TV 4 Jailbreak team will test out the Alpha version of Kodi for the ATV4 and post a video review on it’s YouTube channel.
So will you buy an Apple TV 4?
