HAVE I HELPED YOU? WANT TO THANK ME? ko-fi.com/kiiwiiaioguide

With this guide you will have your PS4 on or updated to 5.05 (5.07 works too), and you will prep it for running exploits in just 4 steps!

You will need:
USB (2.0 or 3.0) HDD formatted as exFAT. 64GB+ Is recommended for even the biggest games, but you can use a 1GB thumb stick just for 5.05 update/recovery update)
PS4 (any model) running 5.0X FW or below. (Linked to FW Bundle Guide by @Scarecrow B )
A PC on same network as PS4, and/or an internet connection.

Preparation:
If you have a PS4 console running 5.01 or below follow the SAFE UPDATE section to upgrade to 5.05 via USB. If you have a PS4 above 5.07 FW you are out of luck for now....

NOTE: If you have had ever run an Update Blocker payload before: you must use an 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. Use any FTP payload and use filezilla on PC. Once these are gone you will be able to update through USB (BE CAREFUL NOT TO UPDATE VIA WIFI)

Begin here:

Lets Get Started:

Files To Download:

5.05 UPDATE PUP: HERE (MD5: F86D4F9D2C049547BD61F942151FFB55) Rename this to PS4UPDATE.PUP
Latest version of my SELF HOST EXPLOIT PACK: HERE
or Latest version of Al-Azif's PS4-exploit-host-win-X.X.X.zip: HERE (FAQ HERE) ~ OR USE AL AZIF DNS = WORKS ON 5.05 as does http://crack.bargains/505k/

SAFE UPDATE: Update PS4 to 5.05 via USB:

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.

NOTE: If you are on 1.00-5.01 and have a pending 5.x update in your notifications, 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]

NOTE: If you are on 5.05 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 doesnt work a full factory format will be required to remove the pending update.

(1): Prep PC: Set up Exploit Host Offline:

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.

Alternative: DNS method Online:

First go to [Settings] > [Network] > [Set up Internet Connection] > [LAN / WIFI] (your choice) > [CUSTOM]
Set IP as AUTOMATIC.
Set DHCP as DO NOT SPECIFY.
DNS PRIMARY: 165.227.83.145 / DNS SECONDARY: 108.61.128.158 (Primary/secondary order does not matter)
Do not use Proxy Server.
When "Test Internet Connection" appears hit Circle to back out.
Go [Settings] > [Network] > [View Connection Status] to get your IP address ready for FTP or other payloads.

Now open your browser or user guide and you should see the exploit host.

(This method is RISKY if the DNS is down for any reason)

Alternative: ezShare Wifi SD Card Self Hosting Offline:

Grab THIS PACK, extract and place on root of SD card: https://gbatemp.net/threads/aio-ps4-exploit-guide.497858/#post-7858030
Connect PS4 to the card (Password is "88888888")
Open PS4 web browser, and navigate to "ezshare.card/index.html"
You can now bookmark this for ease of access.

Alternative: Sandisk Connect Wifi USB Stick Self Hosting Offline:

Grab THIS PACK, extract and place on root of USB stick: https://gbatemp.net/threads/aio-ps4-exploit-guide.497858/#post-7858030
Connect PS4 to the USB stick access point.
Open PS4 web browser, and navigate to "172.25.63.1"
Select the "index.html" file to load the host.
You can now bookmark this for ease of access.
(Thanks to @mech for the explanation)

Alternative: PC Exploit Hosting Offline:

HFS Host With Instructions
Grab THIS PACK, extract and place on root of USB stick: https://gbatemp.net/threads/aio-ps4-exploit-guide.497858/#post-7858030

(3): Launch The Exploit:

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 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 as its auto enabled by default.

(4): Install & run PKG's!

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, or ORBISMODDING.com will not run on HEN as they are NOT fake signed!

Congratulations, you have just learned how to run kernel exploits and HEN on your 5.0X console!

Below is an index of other things you can do do further enhance your console:

CACHE YOUR EXPLOITS

Store them offline! :

Change line at the top of the index.html from:

Code:

<html>

To:

Code:

<html manifest = "offline.manifest">

Then make the file (txt) containing all file names you want cached, for example:

Code:

CACHE MANIFEST

index.html
vtxhen.html
vtxftp.html
vtxdump.html
css/style.css

Save as "offline.manifest" in same folder as index.html.

• 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:

Dumping Game Discs or PSN Titles:

NOTE: Your disc/psn games can be updated to latest 5.05 compatible update before dumping to dump the updated game.
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

• Download xVortex's latest dumping tools HERE (Updated for 5.05)
  
• Insert an exFat formatted 64GB stick into your PS4 and turn it on.
• Open User guide and launch 5.05 HEN first, then reload and launch DUMPER payload through Al-Azif or send the payload in BIN LOADER.
• (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)

Building Fake PKG's:

FAKE PACKAGING DUMPED GAMES + PATCHES

Files needed:
GENGP4 (cannot be linked here)
ORBIS-PUB-GEN (cannot be linked here)
Your dumped game files (CUSAXXXXX-APP & CUSAXXXXX-PATCH folders)

Start Here:

• Using GENGP4 > Select directory for your CUSAXXXXX-APP folder > hit generate GP4 > then hit save gp4.
• Using GENGP4 > Select directory for your CUSAXXXXX-PATCH folder > hit generate GP4 > then hit save gp4.
• Using ORBIS-PUB-GEN > Select the CUSAXXXXX-APP.GP4 you just made > build > select output directory > select build > when its done close PUB-GEN
  
• Using ORBIS-PUB-GEN > Select the CUSAXXXXX-PATCH.GP4 you just made > build > select output directory > select build > when its done close PUB-GEN
  
• You can now delete the CUSAXXXXX-APP & CUSAXXXXX-PATCH folders.

You now have a Fake Signed PKG ready to install (See step (4) above)

PROPERLY REPACKING FAKE UPDATES

If you get errors installing your FPKG updates even though the CUSA ID matches perfectly, then this section will teach you how to avoid errors and enjoy more time playing games! Many thanks to @Chrushev for the tools and the tutorial

UPDATED (21/07/2018):
https://gbatemp.net/threads/release...ackager-by-duxa-aka-chrushev-v6-22-18.508723/

OLD:
Files needed:
Your original V1.00 GAME Fake PKG you made (see above) or obtained.
Your update PATCH Fake PKG (with matching CUSA ID to the GAME) that isnt installing, that you made or obtained.
GENGP4 (cannot be linked here)
@Chrushev aka DUXA's PKG REPACKAGER: HERE
ORBIS-PUB-GEN (cannot be linked here)

Start Here:

• Using PKG REPACKAGER tool > Type in the games 5 digit ID from CUSAXXXXX & hit Enter to confirm > Tab to the games PATCH PKG & hit Enter to confirm > Enter to use all 0's as pass & hit Enter to confirm and it will proceed to unpack your Fake PKG update file to a CUSAXXXXX-PATCH folder.
• Once unpacked close PKG REPACKAGER.
  
• Using GENGP4 > select directory for your CUSAXXXXX-PATCH folder > hit generate GP4 > then hit save gp4 > close GENGP4.
• Using ORBIS-PUB-GEN > Open the CUSAXXXXX-PATCH.GP4 you just made > go to Command > Project Settings > Patch > Select the original Full V1.00 GAME Fake PKG you have. NOTE: If your v1.00 GAME fake PKG is in the same directory you are building in then it should be auto recognised.
  
• Now go to Command > Build Image > Select directory to save to > Click Build.

You should now have a FPKG update that is guaranteed to install to update your v1.00 GAME Fake PKG!

DUMPING DLC FOR FPKG

UPGRADING/BACKING UP THE INTERNAL HDD:

Adding More Storage! :

• Back up your data, but don't use official methods to backup your fake signed games and apps, use FTP to copy the USER/APP/XXXXXXXXX/APP.PKG (fake signed games) to an external backup: rename them as the CUSAXXXXX folders they came out of to remind you what they were.
  You can retain SAVES by using the built in options under: [Settings] > [System] > [Backup and Restore] > [Back Up PS4] (Deselect Applications).You can also retain TROPHIES by copying the USER/HOME/XXXXXXXXX/TROPHY folder and the USER/TROPHY folder via FTP (be careful to keep them separate as they are named the same)

• Replace the HDD:
  You can internally upgrade the PS4 to 8tb max, however the dimensions of the HDD must be no taller than 9.5mm to fit in the enclosure (2.5inch Sata HDD).

• Reinstall the System software in safe mode (option 7):
  5.05 RECOVERY PUP - MD5: C2A602174F6B1D8EF599640CD276924A (Update/Recovery pup path is: USB:/PS4/UPDATE/PS4UPDATE.PUP)

• Restore the data that has been backed up: Once upgraded restore your saves again using the [Backup and Restore] option, restore trophies using FTP, and restore games by reinstalling the APP.PKG files to internal (You can move them to external if you want using APPTOUSB: see below)

NOW YOU HAVE MORE STORAGE!

RESTORE FPKGs IN DB RESTORE:

GET BACK THOSE HIDDEN FPKGs :

In the case that your PS4 restores your game database without showing FPKG games, you dont need to manually reinstall each game, this can fix it!

Files needed:
Python: https://www.python.org/downloads/
PS4 DB Rebuilder: https://github.com/Zer0xFF/PS4_db_rebuilder/releases

• On PS4: Start an FTP server payload and note down your IP.
  
• On PC: Start terminal/cmdline and run this script: python3 fix_db.py PS4_IP and wait for the script to finish.
  
• On PS4: Logout of the PS4 user (DO NOT CLOSE THE BROWSER), log in again to see all your missing games restored.

INSTALL ACTIVATED PROFILE:

UNLOCKS SAVE COPY & PSN APPS :

WARNING: THIS WILL FORMAT YOUR CONSOLE.

Files needed:
"201807092118_00 - PS4 Hacked (5.05) v2 UK" (You must find this on your own).

• Copy the PS4 folder from the archive to the root of your exfat formatted USB stick
• Go to [Settings]>[System]>[Back up & Restore]
• Restore the "201807092118_00 - PS4 Hacked (5.05) v2 UK" profile.

USING APPTOUSB

MOVE GAMES TO EXTERNAL PROPERLY:

Having installed a game to the PS4's internal HDD you can use the APPTOUSB payload by Stooged to symlink games to an external drive!

Required Files:
APPTOUSB Latest version: https://github.com/stooged/AppToUsb-50X/releases
or my latest SELF HOST INDEX PACK HERE

• Host the payload as you wish.
• Place the included APPTOUSB.INI in a "PS4" folder on the root of the PS4 external hdd.
  
• The INI can be edited with the following options:

Code:

To check the usb root for the pkg file to save time copying from the internal ps4 drive then uncomment the line below.
but remember this will move the pkg from the root directory to the PS4 folder.
//CHECK_USB

To rename previously linked pkg files to the new format uncomment the line below.
//RENAME_APP

To disable the processing of icons/art and sound uncomment the line below.
//DISABLE_META

To leave game updates on the internal drive uncomment the line below.
//IGNORE_UPDATES

To move DLC to the usb hdd uncomment the line below.
//MOVE_DLC

To use this list as a list of games you want to move not ignore then uncomment the line below.
//MODE_MOVE

Example ignore or move usage.

CUSAXXXX1
CUSAXXXX2
CUSAXXXX3

• Plug in your USB HDD to a specific port (and always use that port for that drive)
  
• Run the APPTOUSB payload and allow it to copy your games to the external HDD.
• When done you will be notified.

DO NOT DELETE GAMES FROM INTERNAL AFTERWARDS: THERE IS NO NEED.

YOU CAN SAVE TIME BY MANUALLY COPYING THE GAME PKG TO THE EXTERNAL LOCATION BEFORE SYMLINKING IT IN APPTOUSB.

DVD/BD PLAYBACK ACTIVATION:

Entertainment:

Enable debug settings then go to Debug Settings > Licence Activation > Enable MPEG-2 and VC-1.
5.05 was released on 19 Jan 2018 so any movies released (before &) around that date should work perfectly. Anything released after 8 March 2018, might not work.

LOCAL REMOTE PLAY ACTIVATION:

IDU METHOD LRP:

WARNING: IDU IS RISKY & CAN ACCIDENTALLY UPDATE CONSOLE IF INSTRUCTIONS AREN'T FOLLOWED.
ALWAYS BACK UP SAVES, DATABASES, AND PROFILE FILES BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS.

• Cache your exploits (namely HEN) to your browser, and disable internet.
• Rename your main profile on your PS4 to "User 1" and remove any USB devices.
  
• Run VTX HEN 1.7 and go to [Settings]>[Debug Settings]>[System] and toggle IDU mode [ON].
• After reboot turn on controller and hold R1+R2+L1+L2+OPTIONS+D-PAD UP to enter staff mode.

SAVE MOUNTER:

Who needs save wizard!?:

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.
X-Project (or a suitable payload host): HERE
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.

PLAYING ONLINE (LAN GAMES):

Broadcasts LAN connection Online:

Files required:
https://www6.zippyshare.com/v/XACc31QN/file.html = XBOX System Link fixed version 9.6.0
https://www.winpcap.org/ = winpcap
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lAPmb11nOTfTaHBzxhxqQ7nUP-zgP0mn_T8iNJFWM8I/htmlview = LAN compatible games list (OLD)

Requirements:
Your game VERSION has to match other peoples to play online, regardless of OFW version used (this means 5.05 can play against 6.00)
Your PS4 must be LAN connected to your PC (note down your LAN MAC ADDRESS)
(You can bypass your PC needing to be LAN connected to your router by setting up connection sharing: right click LAN connection on taskbar > network & internet settings > change adapter options > right click wifi connection > properties > click sharing tab > click allow other network users to use this connection > and select your ethernet connection as the shared connection.
You need to know your PC IPv4 address: CMD > IPCONFIG will show you.
Ability to add exceptions to your firewall through anti virus software. (XBSLink itself or Port 31415)
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!

Props ModdedWarfare for the video tutorial.

RUNNING LINUX:

Eeply's Linux Kernel:

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 V1.5)
  
• 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.

Notes:
You can also use MANJARO V2: HERE or Fedora from Fail0verflow: HERE

PSVR SET UP AND USAGE:

All you need to know!:

Set up your PSVR as per the manual.
Use HEN 1.8+VR as your go to payload for loading any games, even non VR games.
Hen 1.8+VR spoofs the firmware to 9.XX 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"

INSTALLING BETA OFW WITHOUT INVITE:

Warning: Spoilers inside!

WARNING: THIS IS ONLY FOR OFW USERS, NOT 5.05 OR BELOW.
Sony sets MINVER praxis to the OFW version before the BETA version you are updating to, so if you update to 6.10 BETA the lowest OFW you can "roll back" to will be set to 6.02. This is no good for downgrading.

Required: USB stick fat32/exfat formatted, the latest BETA FW PUP (links change frequently so not listed here), the latest RELEASE OFW PUP from Sony's site.

Instructions:

• Hold power on start up to get into safe mode, select option 3 (UPDATE), select option 1 (USB), insert USB with latest OFW on (PS4/UPDATE/PS4UPDATE.PUP), and let it copy data until you get the update prompt.
• Remove the USB, select UPDATE, and after it reboots but before it gets to the UPDATE screen: immediately POWER OFF THE SYSTEM by unplugging the power.
  
• Copy the latest BETA FW PUP to the stick, hold power on start up to get into safe mode, select option 3 (UPDATE), select option 1 (USB), insert USB with the latest BETA FW PUP on and let it copy data.
• Remove the USB when done, press OK, then select option 1 (RESTART PS4) to boot into update mode where the beta will now install without error.

[WIP]RESTORING FOR OFW & PSN:

VIRGINISING CONSOLES:

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 5.05 (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:

Helpful tips to get you our of trouble:

+ Use DEFAULTDNB's PlaystationPupCheck+ MD5 tool to quickly check any files MD5 hash: HERE (needs database updating... He knows )

+ 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 5.05 and under is HERE
