Well ive been loving having a Jailbroken PS4 for around 2 weeks im on FW 9.00 Goldhen everything has been fine and dandy but all of a sudden i restarted my PS4 and all my SYSTEM STORAGE GAMES Have been locked into a OTHER FOLDER .. which i cant delete or anything they are just locked in there
BUT .. all my Games on my 2TB hard drive work fine and i can still install games to my EXT HD ...
i tried going into Safe Mode and rebuilding DataBase ... no luck
another person said to completely unplug everything from the PS4 & wait 3 hours ..but no luck there so im kinda stumped & stressed
So my Questions
1 Can this be FIXED >?
2 if i Formatted This PS4 then rehacked it with Goldhen 9.00 would i still be able to play my games from my EXT HD >? or would they be unplayable
?
im sure there must be a easier way to fix this ... so if you know how please help me out

I don't know how that happened. you might look at the app.db, there's the possibility the category type has changed to the wrong thing. I heard yesterday that the script doesn't work for 9.00. you can get all external games back if you format, yes. just plug in the external drive right after deploying hen. I've done this before, so I know it works. the app.db is in system_data/priv/mms . open it with sqlite browser. it should say gd for gamedata for all fpkg games.

i tried the re build database thing ..im trying this now ..might sound off but do i setup fileZilla on my pc 1st then try and do the powershell part? as i just also get a error code on powershell after entering my IP Address... you know what if you're100% sure i can keep my games after formatting it i might juts go that way ... ( My wife is in the middle of a game atm if i loose that save im a dead man ) ...
ive never used sqlite browser very unfamiliar to me ...

backup your saves. your account will be lost if you format, but you can get it back, just need a backup of all saves. I've never tried the script, but you can look in the app.db without it.

you can look in the app.db without it. how would i do that .. btw none of the accounts on this ps4 have any psn connection so if say i formatted and tried to re add the save to her game would that work ?... btw im not going to im just asking ... she would be pissed if i lost that save man ...!!! i'd rather punch the devil in the face then mess with my wife when she is in a mood ....... anyhow i will check the app.db if you tell me how & report back .... what exactly am i looking for
i really have no issue formatting & re adding my games still to lose about 500 gb of games feels like a swift kick to the nuts ..

you want gd in the category position. gdi and gda are for default apps, so games use gd which stands for game data. you can open it with sqlite browser. you can check what the account id is, probably all 0s, with the savedata.db. it's right next to the user id. I forgot exactly where the savedata.db is, but I think it's somewhere in the user partition. you might try creating an account with account activator or you could use apollo or save mounter to decrypt the save, then transfer it over once the format has gone through. you do need a new save with the game for that to work.

chances are high that you're account id is all 0's (16 of them). I think that's normal for an unactivated account, so use save mounter or apollo to transfer over all files for each mount except the sce_sys folder. I don't know if that would make a difference or not, but the sce_sys folder contains the account id in little endian at offset 0x15c of the param.sfo, so it's byte reversed. anyway, that's what prevents other accounts from using the save. it's most likely all 0s, but I wouldn't use it in case there's some sort of check, plus it's unnecessary.
