There isn't any downgrading method (that we know of), yet. You can only "rollback" from beta versions of 5.50 (there's an option in the menu for that). It's an official method, from Sony, to let people go back to the previous stable version if they encounter problems and they're unhappy with the beta.

All right? There isn't any "HDD thingy which allowed downgrading..." There never was. If you see a website promising you that you can downgrade, it's 100% fake. They want you to complete surveys, download a bunch of crap (viruses) and possibly even brick your console, because hey, why not.
ok thank you^^ i hate fake news... thx for clearing it up

I'm sure that if there's news about a significantly larger portion of PS4s being able to be exploited you won't have to ask to find it. It'll be all over this thread and the dozen other similar ones. Just be patient.

No kidding mate.
I'm being patient, I was just checking up to see if someone already knew something else about this since I don't use Twitter or other forum websites.

Stuck in the same boat as you mate....

Whilst I am really pleased that others are now able to take part in all the fun on their 4.55 machines, it would be really nice for those of us stuck on 5.0X to enjoy the fun too

I don't either but for the most part the forums are pretty active when it comes to this sort of thing, and whenever they're slow there's a "lag" window of only a few hours which won't kill anyone.

I swear every time an exploit gets released and my console is supported, I'm being torn between having to be able to play online or to never update and wait for a full exploit. I still have a PS+ subscription until april next year. :/

So I tried this on my 5.50 beta 3 original PS4. It works after a few reloads of the browser. It dumps libwebkit just fine. Whenever I attempt to dump libkernel, I get a PS4 error about not enough free memory. Has anyone else on a 5.50 beta 3 console been able to successfully dump their libkernel? Just curious.

that's a kernel panic and it's normal to get them

Sure, but it happens every time I attempt to dump libkernel. Every time. And I know other people have been able to dump their libkernel just fine. Hence me asking.


Can only suggest you keep trying, often these POC are quite buggy and take many times to get the desired result

It took me ages to get it to run at all, just keep trying, hope you manage to get it working
