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.

like I said, there already is a 7.00 jailbreak: https://github.com/ChendoChap/ps4-ipv6-uaf

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
