Yet another official firmware update is now available for Sony's Playstation 4 console. Just like other recently released updates, system version 6.72 appears to be yet another "stability update" with no new features added for the end-user. You know the drill: people interested in hacking & homebrew are advised against installing it. Information about what's been changed under the hood is scarce at the moment but if anything worth mentioning is found, this post will be updated with all the relevant info. As previously anticipated, the official changelog reads as follows:

Main features in system software update 6.72
This system software update improves system performance.

But its the one that was used for iphones, its like people calling all nintendo consoles "nintendo"
Also I am not upset about it, just annoyed that everybody calls it that. Never saw anybody comment on it before

 

[kevin corms]

- iPhone is manufactured by apple

tablet

Stability: Its like Sony knows patching their FW is the source of exploits.

Or kernel exploit, which is what i mainly use. I hate the term Jailbreak too which is overly used for modding/exploiting consoles, unless it's an iPhone.

 

[ClickCLK]

I'm staying on 5.05 until new kexploit is made available. In the meantime I'll continue to play on my mega drive.

Wow, 30 minutes? May be better for all of us if you don't update and play online...

It doesn't take 30 minutes to download the update. Most of the time is all the crap it does before and after downloading the update. It likes to sit there and think about the update it just downloaded before actually installing it.

Great another "stability update"

with every update more people are in my Sony sections which i mod asking for "jailbreak wen"

1st. its not jailbreak, jailbreak is for iPhones
2nd. fuck knows the future

I prefer the term "instability update" instead of softmod for ps4/switch.

Wasn't the only reason it was called jailbreak because of GeoHotz being the dev for the CFW hack on the PS3?

Well think of it how much anime fans hate being called weeb when its being used incorrectly as an insult.

Jailbreaking is when you break out from jail. iOS puts everyone in a closed environment that is like jail. Android's environment is still a little closed off to the end user, but not nearly as much. Jailbreaking is a moniker coined by the iOS exploit that establishes root, and then removes the restrictions. Android doesn't have those "no 3rd party" restrictions, so in that sense, there is no jail to break out from, comparatively. In iOS rooting is only really useful as a method to be able to remove the "no 3rd party" restrictions and make some other known system level modifications. In Android, rooting is a method to give you the ability to customize the full system. The reason for this difference is because one operating system is closed-source while the other is open. I don't think it's a big deal to mix these words up as long as whoever you are talking to knows what you are talking about. If I say,"I want to jailbreak my Nexus", it's going to be obvious what I mean. It's not like inviting you over to "play nintendo" and all I have is a shitty xbox.

There are CVE’s being worked on right now for 5.05+.

It just takes time and effort.

We will have stable PS4 emulators before PS4 Homebrew on updated FW.

I have a slight hope that this will fix my CE-34878-0 error code on my PS4 I bought used but I don't expect much.
Like I can't even boot anything on it even after swapping the standard HDD out for a SSD.

EDIT: it didn't do shit to be honest.
