So I can report my findings trying to troubleshoot the continuous message "There is not enough free system memory" popping up each time I attempt to load any Jailbreak.
After formatting the ESP8266 board and re-installing this Exploit Host Menu, I'm still encountering the same issues. For whatever reason, it is no longer loading successfully. There is almost zero wait time from the moment I click the Jailbreak to the moment the error message pops up. On the right hand corner, it does not acknowledge neither a Pass or Fail. Both the Pass and Fail count read 0/0.
That being said, I've now had some success - FINALLY! And I have you to thank you for that bbqtool from your link below:
In your guide, you suggest running the Exploit first and then enabling Hen separately. So far, I've ran it a total of 4 times and I've had 3 successes and 1 fail where my PS4 crashed. This seems to work great using HEN 2.1.3B. I have yet to test this using GoldenHen.
Whenever I attempt to load the Jailbreak first, I get an immediate error message. It is only when loading the Exploit (Latest Exploit by Sleirsgoevy) first that I'm able to get things running OK. Can I ask bbqtool, is this the same result as yourself? Is this the reason you choose to execute the Exploit first before running the Jailbreak? Do you have success running both Hen and Goldenhen? Now that I know this method seems to be working, I'll continue to play around and see whether the other Exploit and Jailbreaks work ok.
This is all through the User Guide. I've yet to test this using the Internet Browser. Everything is currently Cached, and honestly, I'm very reluctant to delete the cache, cookies and browsing data right now considering I've only just managed to get everything up and running.
Your setup guide seems to be great bbqtool. You're voice recognition for switching the PS4 both on and off is a really sweet trick. So much so that I think I'll copy your style and do the exact same thing.
Thanks again for all the help. The more I play around with everything, the more I'll be able to know what works and what doesn't. Right now, the most important thing, is I'm able to get things going again which I'm super happy about. This board has been awesome. The quick responses from everyone has been much appreciated.
Awesome progress!
Do not use the browser at all if you are using the user guide. Anything that is cached from the browser is put into system memory which you need to run the jailbreak and having data in there reduces your chances of the jailbreak being successful. If you have good enough of a success rate just using the user guide you have installed, don't worry about this but I would suggest clearing cookies, clearing cache and browsing history if you:
- used the browser to load a different menu
- have a menu cached in the user guide and are having problems with the user guide menu.
This does mean you will lose your user guide data and when you open the user guide it will try to recache Al Azif's menu when you try to run it if you have set it up with the appropriate DNS. Since you've already done the hard work in setting up the ESP8266, recaching is easy.
- Clear cache, cookies and browsing history in the browser.
- Plug the ESP8266 into something which can power it via USB close to your PS4.
- Connect to it via wifi on your PS4 (using the DNS that comes with the user guide menu you want to use)
- Open the user guide and let it cache
- Connect to your home wifi (custom, everything is automatic except DNS. primary: 108.61.128.158 secondary: 165.227.83.145)
- Shut down the PS4, unplug, plug it back in.
- Can run the exploit as per normal, disable updates and all that good stuff.
But to reiterate, don't bother doing this if your success rate is fine using the menu guide. Just don't use the browser.
To answer your other questions:
Yes, you need to run the exploit first before you run the homebrew enabler. (Either GoldHen or HEN) I use HEN just because it works and is slightly quicker, but GoldHen v1.0 works the same for me. (I suppose when my system clock battery dies, I'll move over to GoldHen) The other reason I run the exploit first is because I use Linux on my PS4 a lot, so after I load the exploit if I want to use Orbis I run the HEN payload and if I want to load Linux I run the Linux payload. Some menus have an option which runs the exploit and the homebrew enabler in that order as a process. I just don't do that because it lowers the chance of my Linux payload working.
I haven't used any other version of GoldHen except v1.0 but from what I understand, the other versions are developed and tested on later firmwares (eg 7.55) but probably have the same success rates based on what other people have said.
