I have never given those instructios to use if you are using the HDD Upgrade backup restore payloads. Why would I.
If you activate your profile after you initialise, your profile will be different from the backup you made so its obvious that HDD Upgrade restore would not work properly because the internal profile info would be different.
The payload could not be more direct. All it does is automatically copy the backed up folders back to the correct locations on the PS4 just like if you did it manually with FTP.
I am confused about this..
Does both ps4 profile on the two different ps4 consoles need to be activated with the offlineactivator prior to running the backup app and hdd upgrade payload?
or does the PS4 profile needs to be unactivated on both consoles when doing the official backup and payload (hdd upgrade backup and restore)?
If you can clarify in clearer steps using two ps4 consoles - PS4 and PS4 Pro as an example of what needs to be done on both and whether the profiles needed to be activated prior to running the backup and hdd upgrade payload
