Noob Hack and firmware questions

[Pokpoko]

This series will help. I hacked my 9.00 offline. It has never been online since I got it. These are pretty clear in terms of steps and they work. There are videos in that playlist if you are completely new to how it all works on how to update to 9.00 via USB, how to set up your ESP chip for offline use and automate loading the HEN, installing emulators and all that stuff.

Thanks, I will watch the video. Is this video only to automate loading HEN or also to jailbreak the first time ?

Hello @Maupiti , so I received the ESP32 and still didn't jailbreak the PS4. I don't know if you're going to see this message but can you explain me how to jailbreak it ? I mean : do I have to do what it's written here : https://gbatemp.net/threads/ps4-exploit-guide.497858/ then this : https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-ps-phive-for-ps4-fw-9-00-exploit-host-menu.621028/
Or only the second link ?

Also, I will need Wifi only for the Step 2 of "ESP32-S2 User Instructions: [ESP MODE]" am I right ?

Thanks

Hi @OuaisdelaB, I’ve never been fan of videos, (except maybe from modded ware fare), you will learn a lot more from well written guides, the two links you posted

Okay thanks ! Can you do totally offline jailbreak with the links ? I will try to use these links and the video because I am totally new to ps4 jailbreak and I am afraid to do a mistake.

Do not worry, the jb isn't permanent.

Thanks, I have another question : do you know where can I find (like a link) what you can do with a jailbroken ps4, I only know few things like you can install pkg games but I guess you can do way more interesting things…

You can do a lot of the same things as the ps3 except most things require the system due to lack of keys.

I am totally new to PlayStation consoles (I have never owned a ps3 or a ps4). Can you tell me more about that please ? Do you have a link of what you can do ?

Might be worth a look in @KiiWii 'about ps4 guide, which is stickied.

Emulators, Linux, cheats, homebrew games. Look at modded_warfare's videos on youtube. It has guides for everything as they become possible.

Oh and injects like Saturn, PS2, PS1 and PSP games.

You will need online just one time to cache the host on the browser (except if you choose the “road” of self hosting, but if you are totally new to PS4 hack, can be a headache).

It’s totally safe to use the online method with Al-Azif’s DNS . As I wrote before, I use my PS4 with internet for updating cheats and some apps, , and watching videos online. I honestly think it’s a pity to keep always the PS4 offline, except if you are only interested with games.

BTW, self hosting suppose to run your PC , every time you shutdown the PS4. Honestly, I’m not fan of this method.

As for me, my setup is :
Esp32-S2 (connected to my hotspot)
PS4 with Al-Azif’s DNS (connected to my hotspot)
My Laptop (connected to my hotspot)

For info, I don’t have a wired internet connection, only mobile on 5G ,(lost in the mountains during winter) and everything works perfect, even ftp from laptop and PS4.

For “heavy “ ftp, like backing up games from PS4 to my Laptop (usb drive to store), I use Ethernet cable (1 Gigabytes).

I have to say I prefer self host myself. It allows me to update bins usually way before holsters. I am still online when I want with psn mode oof np mode without worrying of dsn compromise.
example I tried out this within minutes of his post.

I have successfully jailbroken my ps4, thanks for your help ! But I have an issue with pkg game (I opened a new thread since it’s not really related to this one).
