Prevent PS4 from updating

ceaccount · Nov 2, 2025

Hello,
I have a jailbroken PS4 with the blue ray method using the latest Goldhen. I am wondering how I can prevent the PS4 from updating the firmaware, is there a homebew package for that or what shall I do?

Thanks for helping,
Dan

I have an OFW PS4 on fw 7.x and I remember doing something similar to the DNS method

Best method:
Block these addresses in your router:

sgst.prod.dl.playstation.net
fuk01.ps4.update.playstation.net
duk01.ps4.update.playstation.net
fus01.ps4.update.playstation.net
al02.cdn.update.playstation.net
a01.cdn.update.playstation.org.edgesuite.net
playstation.sony.akadns.net
a192.d.akamai.net

Disable automatic updates in settings and preferably block the hostnames mentioned ^above^.

Otherwise, if you use ethernet, disconnect the cable before powering on from complete shutdown. Make sure not to have Wi-Fi set up!

Also note that GoldHEN blocks updates as soon as it's loaded, so make sure to load it before starting disc games with update files on them (though I don't think that's relevant any more).

Edit: Ignore all of the above. As long as you load GoldHEN or update blocker payload at least once, updates will continue to be blocked even when the system is in unpatched state. I assume it's like on the PS3 where the directory containing update files is replaced with an inaccessible file, which always makes the updater fail to download anything.
