Hey guys, I tried searching the forums and couldn't find anything. So, I apologize if this is answered somewhere else.

QUESTION: I just got a PS4 Pro today. It came with FW 4.70 out of the box which I updated to 5.05 per the internet's recommendations (jailbreaks and what nots). The problem i'm having is I cannot login to my Playstation account because I'm not on the most recent FW. Does anyone know if it is possible to login to my PS account on the console without updating to 5.55?

Thank you in advance.

No PSN access unless you are on latest firmware and being on latest firmware mean you miss out on homebrew and free games.
