Let's discuss 6.72 |vs| 9.00

[KuntilanakMerah]

when i had multiple shutdown streak, my hdmi port start going crazy shit, it's just like when ur PC gpu dying... and yeah i can feel the temp when touch my hands on ps4 surface, much hotter than running heavy AAA games

p/s : have multiple slim ps4 and now using ps4 pro btw

you need to make a hole on your case tho, and put dust filter on top of it

Merry Christmas I finally left 6.72 and my 9.00 JB didn’t go smoothly, a couple of failed attempts but then this happened. Scroll down for longer video version of it. Somehow I was able to load Goldhen and it never asked for the usb

 

[MasterJ360]

Might be that they implemented the exploit image into Goldhen. If thats the case we will see more ppl flock to 9.00

 

[HitchensRIP]

Came here for this

Im stuck on 5.05 as my unit has no blue ray and hence I cant update any further (unless things changed)

Should I bin it and just buy a new one below 9.00 or shall I have hope that games will start getting backported?

Backports not looking good for now

What's best for me

Hunting a 9.0 or buying a blue ray drive so I can (eventually) upgrade

Any suggestions on which blue ray drive i should get?

 

[laz305]

Well now that I stopped using bin loader inside Goldhen I haven’t had a single issue. So yep 9.00 is Golden pun intended

Hey gents, after upgrading from 6.72 to 9.00, have you noticed any difference with the HDR performances?

I'm on 6.72 now, but some games such as Guardians of the Galaxy render with very intense colors that make eyes hurt, so I'm wondering if this could be a firmware-related issue, as I read somewhere that some improvements were made with HDR after FW 7.XX.

For the record, I use a LG CX with my PS4, and the HDR works perfectly with PS5 and PC using the same TV.

Not on my side, on PS4 pro from 6.72’to 9.00 , and for the “debate “ of plug and unplug, I use Pizero2w mod that work 100% , no KP, no issues from rest mode, I absolutely don’t regret updating from 6.72 to 9.00
Played guardians on 6.72 and now on 9.00 and don’t see any differences

 

[viggen66]

6.72 is now perfect, don't need to update, also all games are being backported so why changing?

 

[MasterJ360]

To not wait on backports being released. Not all games are backported, I have a reliable source and from what I see its mainly AAA games that do get backported support other unheard/unpopular games not so much. Unless you are backporting your own games then i dont see any reason to be on 6.72. when you can just download & play on the fly without waiting for fixes. Just so you know backports are handled by user picks... meaning your fav game may never get that fix

Also Whitehawkx is fuking awesome that dude uploads his games with all dlc/latest update + Mods from PC

Thanks for your comment. The FW upgrade itself does not improve the HDR rendering indeed, but HDR can be adjusted on 9.00, so I decided to update, even if 6.72 JB worked great for me.
By adjusting the HDR colors on 9.00 now the game can be played without having my eyes hurting too much. Unfortunately the results with HDR are still not perfect, though.

Why the rush or even is it a argument of waiting for backports? I already have a huge backlog of games to play hehe, regarding the argument of not so popular games being backported, I guess devs prefer to first give priority to AAA games and then on their spare time backport the remaining, until now I haven't found a game I wanted which wasn't available to 6.72.

Also the 6.72 jailbreak is 100% pure software, don't need a usb stick, and never fails now.

I guess the main reason people ditch 6.72 or lower, is because of higher firmware regardless of it works better or not is always better, as long the number is higher.

Its an argument of preference, which i wont even dive into that b/c its a waste of time. Thing is ppl think 9.0 is bad or assumed ppl rushed into it just b/c its new. Thats insanely bias since the fw is incredibly stable. Back when I was on 6.72&7.02 I had to clear my cookies/cache every single time before I turned off the console... why? B/c on my next exploit session I would get failed attempts or the host would work for a week then it would stop working the next, so I had to flip-flop choosing older versions of the hoster that were reliable for my ps4.

On 9.0 its like a different world in exploiting I never had to clear anything or had random KP's. I rather stick a usb in than dealing with "failed to load exploit" messages then having to hard reset my ps4. Thats why many other former 6.72/7.02 users updated. We updated for stability lol pretty ironic to say that huh Nintendo..... If your ok just playing AAA's backported then cudos stay on 6.72 while the rest of us enjoy every title dumped without waiting for a fix.

6.72 rate success on previous hosts had nothing to with clearing cache or installing older exploits, it had to do with threads managing, is a common issue named race condition, which can result on random outputs, depending on how several threads talk to each other, sometimes a bad synchronization can occur which results on a kernel panic, hence the instability of the previous kernel exploits, but owing to sleirsgoevy talent and his profound experience and knowledge of the ps4 architecture he pulled a successful exploit.

A exploit which is dependent on hardware is always more stable, in the chain of the exploitation you introduce an hardware input which triggers an unexcepted bug and the change code execution to another flow.

I'm with @MasterJ360 on this. I see no point in staying below 9.00. Everything useful that the majority of PS4 users who know about hacking would want is doable already, so there is no real rush or need for a full CFW. Granted it means no perma jb right now but with the Auto USB now available for 9.0 its even easier. My esp32 cost me £7, that's all.
Takes no time at all to go from powered off to jailbroken, granted i get the occasional KP but all i do is unplug my extended storage drive, run the jb again and it works.

That's another thing, can extended storage even be used on 5.05?

I would understand staying as low as possible if it actually looked as though there was something good actually coming on the horizon but afaik there's sweet fa on the way right now.

I like zero backports, original files only as in years to come when groups like Redump or the like start to arrange their databases/collections for PS4 then they will REQUIRE the original files and all the backporting being done today will be a big pain in the arse for everyone involved.
In my eyes the sooner all this "lower is always better" preaching stops then the better the scene will be in the end, because that statement is just not true anymore for the PS4 Just as it wasn't true for many other consoles..

 

[viggen66]

Almost all games which required fw 9.0 are already dumped, or are close to been dumped, at least the main stream of them, are already available.

So no new games for jailbroken consoles going to be available, but you have access to almost 98% of ps4 library, why worry, regarding backports, the pace of availability is not as fast as straight dumped games, but normally after a week, there's a patch to make them work on lower fw.

Lots of people still prefer a full 100% software jailbroke process, instead or relying on a usb stick, or something attached to the console, is fast and never fails.

For users with fw higher than 6.72 to the famous 7.xx yes I fully understand ditching those fw, but 5.05 and 6.72 makes no sense now.

Al azif and lightning mods suggested not updating from 5.05. It's the most likely firmware to get cfw. A lot was patched on 7.5x including full access to samu. We have the keys below 7.5x.

Yep, thankfully fantastic releases are still being shared by the scene, for example: Race.With.Ryan.PS4-DUPLEX

But you are correct, the majority of games are available, many with their latest updates.

 

[Nyx24]

Should i update now my 6.72 to 9.0? Is there any good advantage of it? Besides the backport

I'm also on 6.72, I use it now with GoldHEN v2.4b5 (a huge thank to PRB and Leeful!) and it works GREAT on my ps4 slim, no KP, so no needs to update to 9.00.

 

[Tzwaq]

I was a 5.05 guy back then, skipped 6.72 and I'm now using 9.00
Best decision so far. I don't get KP often. So yeah 9.00 > 6.72
