I don't care about fixing the broken blu ray drive. I would like to update to firmware 9.0 to jailbreak it. Sony does not allow me to update the firmware with a broken blu ray drive by using the official method.

Can I use the firmware 7.02 jailbreak? Does the firmware 7.02 jailbreak work for firmware 7.0? Then use the NO Blu-Ray Drive app to update to firmwate 9.0.

Thanks.

the offsets would be different, so it wouldn't work. I'm not sure if lm added support to those limbo firmwares or not. I think he was going to between 5.05 and 7.5x, but I don't really know. I could ask him for you if you'd like. in fact, I'll do that.

I just did some reading and here is where the difficulty lies. I am currently on firmware 7.00 and my ps4 slim is not jailbroken. I cannot use the firmware 7.02 jailbreak. There is no public released firmware 7.00 jailbreak.

Lightning Mods's Nobd Updater will only work on a currently jailbroken ps4. The Nobd Updater should work for firmware 7.00 as well.

Can someone confirm that with a broken blu ray drive that I cannot just download firmware 7.02 onto a usb memory stick, go into safemode and then update to firmware 7.02?

Yes. Does Chendo's exploit and Orbis repair guide require my ps4 firmware 7.00 to already be jailbroken? I just read the Orbis repair guide and I am not sure.

I don't know the exact process. someone else is asking about it on discord. I'll let you know what alazif or lm says. I did link them to this thread.

it's possible that the nobd detects the firmware, and is firmware agnostic. that's kinda the question I posed to alazif. I know that the debug.bin is now as well as alazif is working on making goldhen that way as well if I understand some of her comments on discord. I don't know how that's going. I haven't posted in that channel in many months as I haven't needed any help or help for others when I don't know the answer. ;)

Modded Warfare's Youtube video from May 6, 2022 explained the situation. I don't know if there has been any updated methods.



I have two options. 1. Fix the blu ray drive. 2. Wait for a firmware 7.00 jailbreak in order to use the package installer to run a pkg file.

    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s

  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

    run h2testw on it
