PS4 Exploit Guide
WORK IN PROGRESS CHANGES BEING MADE: USE "DEPRECIATED" SECTION AT BOTTOM FOR OLD GUIDES!
With this guide you will be running exploits in just a couple of steps. It is important that you read and understand a few key points before you update or jailbreak in order to best decide which steps you will follow. Please take a few minutes to read through the Exploit Stability, Quick Info, and Important Notes sections at the very least before proceeding to the jailbreaking section.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
- *.PUP SOFTWARE "DOWNGRADERS" ARE FAKE!
- DO NOT ASK FOR PIRACY OR SDK LINKS: IT IS AGAINST FORUM RULES!
- ONLY GAMES THAT HAVE BEEN DUMPED & DECRYPTED CAN BE PLAYED
- PKG's (FROM SONY'S SERVERS OR ANYWHERE ELSE) ARE NOT PLAYABLE WITHOUT THE LEGIT RIF
- UPDATE PKG's FROM SONY SERVER CAN BE INSTALLED, BUT TO THE A LEGIT GAME (DISC/DIGITAL)
- SAVES BACKED UP (FTP OR DB/SG PAYLOAD) CAN ONLY BE RESTORED TO THE SAME USER/CONSOLE(TRY APOLLO INSTEAD)
- IF THE BD IS BROKEN & YOU CAN NOT UPDATE YOU WILL SEE "E-801809A8" ERROR. (5.00 WILL BRICK IF TRYING TO UPDATE!! 4.74-7.5X CONSOLES SHOULD USE https://orbis.repair/)
- PUP UPDATE/RECOVERY FILES MUST BE PLACED IN USB:/PS4/UPDATE/PS4UPDATE.PUP
- 5.07 AND NOBD USERS: KEEP A CLONE OF YOUR PS4 HDD TO AVOID BRICKING!
- DO NOT USE ONLINE DNS IF YOU HAVE LEGIT PSN CONTENT ON YOUR CONSOLE: IT WON'T BLOCK SONY 100% & CAN DEACTIVATE IT
IDU exit combo:
HOLD: L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 + D-Pad UP + Options button for 15 seconds.
BEGIN HERE:
YOU WILL NEED:
- A PS4 running <=9.00 FW
- A USB (2.0 or 3.0) HDD formatted as exFAT 64GB or bigger is recommended for the biggest games, but at minimum, you can use a 2GB stick just for 5.05/6.72/7.02/7.55 update/recovery update)
- An internet connection or a PC/Mobile Phone/Raspberry Pi on the same network as your PS4
NOTES:
- If you have a PS4 console running 5.01 or lower, follow the below section to upgrade to 5.05 via USB. If you have a PS4 above 5.50FW you should aim to update to the next closest firmware that supports jailbreaking: 6.72/7.02/7.55, or lastly 9.00. The lower the better!
- If whilst on 5.05 or below you have ever run Update Blocker payload: you must use Update Unblocker first or FTP into your PS4 (port 1337) and delete the PS4UPDATE.PUP.temp.net and the PS4UPDATE.PUP folders in the /update folder.
- If you are on 1.00-8.52 and have a pending update, then update via SAFE MODE
To enter SAFE MODE, shut down your PS4, hold power to turn it back on and keep holding until you hear the second beep. Now update via option [3 Update System Software] - If you are on 5.05/6.72/7.02/7.55/9.00 and have a pending update try this: FTP in and delete the PS4UPDATE.PUP file in the /update folder, run update blocker, change your DNS to the ones at the top of this guide, reboot. If this doesn't work a full factory format will be required to remove the pending update nag.
Safely Update PS4 to 5.05/6.72/7.02/7.55/9.00 via USB:
On PC: Format your stick to EXFAT using any suitable formatting tool.
(or on PS4: [Settings] > [Devices] > [USB Storage Devices] > [YOUR DEVICE] > [Options] > [Format as exFAT]).
Make a folder on the root of your USB stick called [PS4], inside that a folder called [UPDATE], and put the [PS4UPDATE.PUP] for your chosen firmware in there (PUP's are found below).
MD5 CHECK ANY PUP FILES BEFORE INSTALLATION! - HERE
Remove the USB from your computer and plug in to the PS4
On PS4: Remove any discs, go to [Settings] > [System Software Update] and update via USB.

(Note: Either is fine to use, Exfathax_pico.img is simply smaller in size)
Etcher: HERE
Recommended Tutorial (BASIC ONLINE METHOD):
You will need a dedicated USB stick with the EXFATHAX *.IMGimaged onto it in order to exploit 9.00 firmware:
THIS CANNOT BE AVOIDED, IT IS REQUIRED FOR THE EXPLOIT!
(Minimum 8MB USB stick is recommended, USB 2.0 is preferred over USB 3.0)
On PC:
Open Etcher, select the Exfathax or Exfathax_pico *.IMG file, plug in your USB stick, click flash, wait until done and eject USB.
(This USB cannot be used for anything else now unless formatted back to blank)
On PS4:
Go to [Settings] > [Network] > [Set up Internet Connection] > [LAN / WIFI] (your choice) > [CUSTOM]
Set IP as AUTOMATIC, and set DHCP as DO NOT SPECIFY.
Set one DNS to: 165.227.83.145, set the other to: 192.241.221.79 (This prevents system updates).
Back out of network test with CIRCLE.
Go to [Settings] > [Network] > [View Connection Status] to get your IP address ready for further on.
NOTE: From here you can use any exploit host that supports 9.00 firmware exploiting.
Open the browser or user guide and by default you should see AlAzif's exploit host.
Run 9.00 exploit, insert Exfathax USB only when prompted, click OK, finally remove Exfathax USB only when prompted.
If using other hosts (LEEFUL/PRB/KARO etc) you may have already auto loaded GoldHen, if not: using Alazif's DNS,
Run BIN LOADER for 9.00 > send the latest GOLDHEN *.BIN to your PS4's IP address and port 9020 using Netcat GUI.

On PC: Format your stick to exFat through windows 7/8/10 built in formatting tool
(or on PS4: [Settings] > [Devices] > [USB Storage Devices] > [YOUR DEVICE] > [Options] > [Format as exFAT]).
Now make a folder on your USB stick called [PS4], inside that a folder called [UPDATE], and put the [PS4UPDATE.PUP] in there.
MD5 CHECK ANY PUP FILES BEFORE INSTALLATION! - HERE
Now remove the USB from the PC and plug in to the PS4
On PS4: go to [Settings] > [System Software Update] and update via USB.
On PC extract the files from the zip archive you got from Al-Azif's github to your desktop and run (as ADMINISTRATOR) the ps4-exploit-host.exe within, taking note of the DNS IP it gives you. You can put any additional payload BIN files in the [PS4-Exploit-Host] > [Payloads] folder.
First go to [Settings] > [Network] > [Set up Internet Connection] > [LAN / WIFI] (your choice) > [CUSTOM]

If you are using Al-Azif PEH or DNS or ESP device: Go to [Settings] > [User Guide].
If you are self-hosting: Use the web browser to access the index.html
When the exploit has loaded always hit the PS button to get back to XMB.
There is no need to enable the web browser in 5.05-9.00 as it is auto-enabled by default.
You can now disable internet setting on PS4 [Settings] > [Network] uncheck the box next to [Connect to Internet].
Don't forget to re-enable after you restart your console to launch exploits!
Go to [Settings] > [Debug Settings] > [Game] > [Package Installer] to install a game. (Game PKG must be fake signed and must be placed on the root of the exFat formatted USB stick)
To start a fake signed game, HEN must be running otherwise they will not load.
NOTE: Non-fake signed PKG's aka downloaded from PSDEVWIKI, PS4DATABASE.IO, ORBISPATCHES or ORBISMODDING will not run on HEN as they are NOT fake signed!
NOTE: remember to enable rest mode application suspending to allow HEN to remain through rest mode.
([Settings] > [Power Saving] > [Set Features] > [Keep Applications Suspended])
Congratulations, you have just learned how to run kernel exploits and HEN on your 5.05-9.00 console!
Below is an index of other things you can do to further enhance your console:
CACHE YOUR EXPLOITS
Change line at the top of the index.html from:
Code:
<html>
Code:
<html manifest = "offline.manifest">
Code:
CACHE MANIFEST
index.html
vtxhen.html
vtxftp.html
vtxdump.html
css/style.css- Each exploit page needs to be listed in the manifest, as well as its sub files/folders, but you don't need to include the name of the manifest file.
- You can name your manifest anything you like such as: CACHE.CACHE, offline.cache, whateveryouwant.something.
- Once cached no need for self host device again unless you want to update the files in anyway.
- If you are payloads are out of date: Delete your cache, and input DNS or sort your own files out and re-cache.
Dumping and repackaging your games:
CHECK GAME FIRMWARE DATA: HERE
NOTE: Your disc/psn games can be updated to latest 5.05/6.72/7.02/7.55/9.00 compatible update before dumping to dump the updated game (use https://orbispatches.com/homebrew to install directly to console)
NOTE 2: Running HEN payload followed by dumper payload has been proven to speed up the dumping process massively (Thanks @Leeful)
NOTE 3: You can select the dumping mode in dumper.cfg (place it on your exFAT USB root):
0 - Do not split app and patch, dump into the CUSAxxxxx folder (split=0)
1 - Dump only app into the CUSAxxxxx-app folder (split=1)
2 - Dump only patch into the CUSAxxxxx-patch folder (split=2)
3 - Dump app and patch and split it into different folders (split=3)
IMPORTANT: IT IS UNIVERSALLY RECOMMENDED TO USE SPLIT=3 FOR EVERY DUMP!
Full CFG is here: https://github.com/xvortex/ps4-dumper-vtx/blob/master/dumper.cfg
- Insert an exFat formatted 64GB stick into your PS4 and power the console on.
- Open User Guide and launch HEN first, then reload and launch DUMPER payload or send the payload to BIN LOADER (port 9020)
- (Alternatively: open the browser and launch HEN followed by DUMPER payload via browser or self host).
- Press PS button to minimize the browser.
- Start your game/disc and get to the main menu of the game.
- Press PS button to minimize the game.
- When the console turns off: this means its done dumping. (It's normal)

SAVE MOUNTER:
NOTE: Save wizard saves are not supported, not all games work yet wait for Save Mounter updates!.
ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR SAVES (through FTP/db_sg payload or preferably through official backup/restore options)
Do not overwrite the SCE_SYS folder, it will corrupt your save.
Required files:
Save Mounter Latest: HERE
Any FTP app for your computer.
Any suitable payload host.
SQLite editor: HERE
An EMPTY save file: Start the game, make a basic save that you want to overwrite with someone else's save file.
An obtained save that someone else has dumped DECRYPTED.
Begin here:
ON PS4: Load HEN followed by SAVE MOUNTER payload through X-Project or another supported file host/payload sender (JKPATCH.BIN/PS4DEBUG.BIN), start your game, PS button back to XMB, grab your PS4 IP address and load FTP payload (saves and files copied via FTP are automatically decrypted).
ON PC: Start SAVE MOUNTER EXE, enter your PS4 IP, hit CONNECT, hit REFRESH, pick the EBOOT.BIN from the dropdown, click SET UP, click DIRS (if no DIRS can be found see FIX below), choose the save you want to mount, select READ/WRITE from the MOUNT dropdown and click MOUNT.
Start FTP app, enter your PS4 IP and port (1337), then either:
TO BACK UP SAVES: copy either the: /MNT/PFS/SAVEDATA_XXXXXXXX_CUSAXXXXX_YYYYZZZZ or /MNT/SANDBOX/CUSAXXXXX_XXX/SAVEDATA0 folders to a memorable location.
On SAVE MOUNTER and click UNMOUNT
On PS4: close your game down.
TO RESTORE SAVES: Using the EMPTY save on your game: follow the above steps and go to either the: /MNT/PFS/SAVEDATA_XXXXXXXX_CUSAXXXXX_YYYYZZZZ or /MNT/SANDBOX/CUSAXXXXX_XXX/SAVEDATA0 folders, delete the contents (EXCEPT FOR THE SCE_SYS FOLDER), then drop the decrypted save you obtained in there (DO NOT OVERWRITE SCE_SYS FOLDER).
On SAVE MOUNTER and click UNMOUNT.
On PS4: close and restart your game to use.
DONE.
DIRS FIX for DUMPING:
ON PC: FTP into your PS4 and copy the /USER/HOME/<USERID>/SAVEDATA/CUSAXXXXX/ folder to a memorable location, rename SCE_SDMEMORY.BIN to TEMP.BIN & rename SDIMG_SCE_SDMEMORY.BIN to SDIMG_TEMP.BIN. then copy the renamed files back to the /USER/HOME/<USERID>/SAVEDATA/CUSAXXXXX/ folder.
FTP to /SYSTEM_DATA/SAVEDATA/<USERID>/DB/USER/ and copy the DATABASE.DB to a memorable location (**NOW MAKE A SECOND BACKUP OF DATABASE.DB**)
Open DATABASE.DB SQLite editor, click browser data, find your CUSA ID, left click the row to highlight, right click > duplicate record, scroll down to the new record, edit "sce_sdmemory" to "temp", save changes and close editor.
FTP to /SYSTEM_DATA/SAVEDATA/<USERID>/DB/USER/ and overwrite the modified DATABASE.DB.
On PS4: Restart console, load HEN, load your game, ensure game is working, PS button back to XMB, load save mounter payload (JKPATCH.BIN/PS4DEBUG.BIN), load FTP payload.
On PC: Start SAVE MOUNTER EXE, enter your PS4 IP, hit CONNECT, hit REFRESH, pick the EBOOT.BIN from the dropdown, click SET UP, click DIRS (it should now say TEMP), choose the save you want to mount, select READ/WRITE from the MOUNT dropdown and click MOUNT.
Start FTP app, enter your PS4 IP and port (1337), copy the: /MNT/PFS/SAVEDATA_<USERID>_CUSAXXXXX_TEMP/ folder to a memorable location.
FTP to /USER/HOME/<USERID>/SAVEDATA/CUSAXXXXX/ folder, delete SCE_SDMEMORY.BIN & SDIMG_SCE_SDMEMORY.BIN, rename TEMP.BIN back to SCE_SDMEMORY.BIN and SDIMG_TEMP.BIN to SDIMG_SCE_SDMEMORY.BIN.
FTP to /SYSTEM_DATA/SAVEDATA/<USERID>/DB/USER/, overwrite the DATABASE.DB again but now with the **SECOND** back up of DATABASE.DB.
On Save Mounter click UNMOUNT.
On PS4: Restart console, start game, enjoy.
NOTE: You can overwrite the save in the /MNT/PFS/SAVEDATA_<USERID>_CUSAXXXXX_TEMP/ folder. (DO NOT OVERWRITE SCE_SYS FOLDER).
NOTE 2: You can easily swap users if you have multiple accounts but want to share saves.

www.portforwarding.com if you need more information on configuring port forwarding on your router.
Start here:
Install WINPCAP prior to starting up XBSLink (it's necessary)
Start XBSLink and go to settings tab and enter your nickname, leave everything else default, go to network tab and change CAPTURE DEVICE to your LAN connection, select bind to IP and choose the IP address of your PC as the IP to use.
In the NETWORK tab, enter your PS4's LAN MAC ADDRESS into the "always forward mac" list > check "enable special mac list" & "only forward these devices".
Click START ENGINE (top left) > start a LAN compatible game on PS4 and the PS4 MAC ADDRESS should pop up in XBSLink local engine info after a few seconds.
If you get the "port unreachable/closed" message: then you need to use UPNP port forwarding to match your router, go to NETWORK tab and check the USE UPNP check box.
If you still get this error you need to port forward 31415: CMD > IPCONFIG > copy default gateway of your active internet connection (NOT LAN) > paste it into your browser to open your routers config page > go to firewall settings > port forwarding > (add game/application > name it XBSlink enter 31415 into any box that asks for port range or transfer > set protocol to any > apply settings) > select XBSLink and select your PC (or enter your PC's IP address) as the device you are running XBSLink from > and apply this setting (remember to turn UPNP off if you are manually port forwarding).
To connect to other people: Enter your friends external IP address into remote host (https://whatsmyip.com/) > port 31415 > click "directly connect to host".
For others to connect to you: Get your external IP address (https://whatsmyip.com/) > send it to your friend > they enter it into remote host > port 31415 > they click "directly connect to host".
To JOIN a game: on PS4 in LAN compatible game > Click search for local game > connect.
To HOST a game: on PS4 in a LAN compatible game > host a game > await friend connections > start game.
Enjoy!

RUNNING LINUX:
Required Files:
BZIMAGE & INITRAMFS.CPIO.GZ: HERE
PS4LINUX PS3ITA: HERE
Required hardware:
USB 3.0 Fat32 formatted drive (16gb min), USB keyboard & USB mouse.
Supports models:
CUH-12XX. CUH-2XXX, CUH-7XXX and 1080p/720p (Change cmdline in ps4-linux-loader. PS4 PRO does not support 3D accelerated GFX).
Start here:
- Copy the initramfs, bzImage and psxitarch.tar.xz to the USB root, and insert into the PS4.
- Start up your PS4, load up the Eeplinux payload using your preferred loader (X-PROJECT)
- After a black screen, rescue will load, connect the keyboard, type: exec install-psxitarch.sh
- (The keyboard layout is set to US, to write the dash you have to use the ' )
- When installed the distro should start, enter username psxita and password changeit.
- (if it fails, type: exec start-psxitarch.sh, reboot and reload the payload again.
You can also use MANJARO V2: HERE or Fedora from Fail0verflow: HERE
PSVR SET UP AND USAGE:
Set up your PSVR as per the manual.
Use HEN+VR as your go to payload for loading any games, even non VR games.
Hen+VR spoofs the firmware which means you wont get update nags using the headset.
(If you start the headset before running a non VR HEN payload you shouldnt get a nag either)
Watching videos (media player):
OBTAIN the MEDIA PLAYER 3.50 VR PATCHED NO PSN app by PS4MINER, and install through DEBUG SETTINGS.
Make a folder on the root of your USB HDD called "VIDEO".
Place videos in according to the specifications HERE
Watching 3d/180/360 videos:
OBTAIN the LITTLSTAR 1.18 NO PSN app by WuEpE (other versions do not allow you to sign in with the littlstar account or skip), and install the 2 PKGs (PATCH and APP) through DEBUG SETTINGS.
Ensure you use UPDATE BLOCKER and ALAzif's DNS settings in the NETWORK SETTINGS as this app requires INTERNET for at least first use (offline mode then becomes available for in app downloaded content).
You must make an account at https://littlstar.com/ either on your PC or on the Ps4 browser itself.
Make a folder on the root of your USB HDD called "Littlstar".
Place video in the folder according to the specifications HERE.
Start littlstar, click UPDATE LATER, click NORMAL VERSION, and log in, tap R1 until you get to LIBRARY to view your sideloaded content.
You can download videos in app to your USB HDD for offline use.
NOTES:
V1.18 is the best out there, but doesn't support thumbnails.
Files names are very FUSSY. The extension must be LOWERCASE ".mp4" not ".MP4".
If (for example) the movie is called "About 3D 1080p.mp4" it detects the ou in "About" and interprets it as an OVER UNDER formatted movie.
Edit the movie names to avoid this by using zero (0) as "o" or use accented characters like: á à ã ă â é è ê í ì ĩ ó ò õ ô ơ ú ù ũ ư.
Quick example: To watch a regular 1080p 3D movie use the standard: "Ab0ut_3dff_sbs.mp4"
UPDATE: Littlstar became RAD and no longer functions. RAD has been dumped (8.XX) and requires an online account to use (NOT PSN).

[WIP]RESTORING FOR OFW & PSN:
WARNING: Sony is rumored to be banning consoles on OFW connected to PSN as of 16/09/2018.
WARNING: This method is not tried and tested but is the best we can guess as of today (17/09/2018)
In order to TRY avoid any sort of detection by SONY that you have previously had any fake signed or modified content on your console you need to take these steps:
Quick method:
+ REMOVE UPDATE BLOCKER.
+ REMOVE any content associated with fake signed games or apps you have used (saves, trophies, games, dlc's and updates etc)
+ CROSS YOUR FINGERS (it is unknown if the PS4 logs information in other sectors yet)
+ Please report back if you have decided for whatever reason to update to a PSN compatible OFW, and whether you do or don't receive a ban.
Ultimate method:
+ FORMAT your HDD with the your current OFW (or higher) RECOVERY PUP. This will initialize everything to factory (it is unknown if it erases all logs in other sectors or areas of the PS4)
ALTERNATIVELY:
+ REMOVE your HDD, format it on your PC, REINSTALL the HDD via recovery mode with latest PSN compatible OFW PUP (it is unknown if it erases all logs in other sectors or areas of the PS4)
+ Please report back if you have decided for whatever reason to update to a PSN compatible OFW, and whether you do or don't receive a ban.
PRO TIPS:
+ Use DEFAULTDNB's FRMCHK site with MD5 tool to quickly check any files MD5 hash: HERE
+ If you have crashes running payloads then properly reset PS4: hold power for 10-20 seconds to power off, then restart, then [Power] > [Turn Off PS4], then restart again to flush the system and start from scratch.
+ Running payload after payload on the the exploit host webpage can crash the console: shutdown in between if you have to run one after another, or find a combo that works.
+ NEVER TOGGLE IDU MODE ON IN DEBUG SETTINGS or you get stuck in demo mode (If you do: disconnect internet and press R1+R2+L1+L2+option+up to fix)
+ FTP in and back up /system_data/priv/mms/app.db and /system_data/priv/mms/addcont.db as well as your save game folders periodically in case of "rebuilding database" issue and loss of data
+ Set INTERNAL storage as default [Settings] > [Storage] > [Application Install Location] on to avoid errors such as CE-30129-5 or CE-41798-9 when installing PKG's.
+ To Move LEGIT PAID FOR Content to External HDD device (must be USB 3.0 & 8TB max) go to [Settings] > [Storage] > [System Storage] > [Applications] then Press the "Options" button on the title you want to move and select "Move to Extended Storage". Although this saves space fake signed games cannot be played from this location and have to be moved back to internal to avoid CE-38612-0 error. (Thanks @Berserker666)
+ Find compatible game updates through THIS link using the CUSAXXXXX ID of your game: beware the FW requirement must be 5.05 or below. If a higher update is installed you must delete the entire game, and reinstall the base game again to remove the game update.
+ An increasing list of compatible games 9.00 and under is HERE
+ WIP free solution to save game decryption tools is in progress: https://github.com/charlyzard/PS4SaveDataDecryptingTools
