Hacking PS4 Jumped from 4.55 to 5.51.. But I can still run exploits.. HELP?

[x0b3chn]

So, I should probably start off by saying at the beginning of the day my PS4 was on firmware 4.55, updates were disabled. All that I've done today is make some PS2 Classics .pkg and test them until then, here's where I think I fucked up, installed the Rick & Morty VR game.. Don't ask, it's only 500mb and I wanted to see what happened if I tried to run a 5.05 game on 4.55. It ran fine, then I was planning to update my PS4 to 5.05 just now, which is when I was stricken with the horror that is my PS4 now being on firmware 5.51!

But.. As of right now I can still run games, and I also ran the app2usb payload successfully. This leaves me some hope that maybe the console displaying its firmware as 5.51 is just some kind of bug? Is there any way for me to tell without restarting it?

Did you update via internet?

No, and there's nothing in my notifications suggesting it happened while I wasn't paying attention.

Restart the PS4, on the system setting if it says 5.51 on system version you are screw.

Have you powered off and back on and checked the version number (without running any payloads) if you've not updated to that version it should be fine and reboot reporting the correct version

Well yeah, that's obvious. And since I most likely am screwed, I'm just going to avoid the console restarting at all, at least until I finish the PS2 game I've been playing (that is still running, which kinda makes no sense.)

I haven't, I'm trying to avoid that for as long as possible.. Ideally my PS4 won't be restarting at all now unless the room loses power or something. But I'll let you know what happens when it finally does.

It shouldn't be on 5.51 if you didn't have a forced update

I know, it hasn't even restarted at all today and it was definitely on 4.55 when I turned it on.

Under system -> automatic downloads is system software updates files unchecked?

 

[hippy dave]

Sounds like version spoof, doesn't the VR payload do that?

 

[fringle]

Same thing happened to me, it's prob a spoofed payload. Reboot and you should be fine.

Yes, and if it had somehow still downloaded the 5.51 firmware at some point I would have a notification about it.

Vortex 1.4 has 5.51 firmware spoof, maybe that what scared you

 

[mikey420]

Chances are your machines been spoofed by whatever payload you ran. If hacks are still working I know for a fact you haven't updated as the new kernel doesn't allow the hacked content to work. (Also a PS4 forces a reset after updating the firmware so there no way you'd be running the old kernel still with the new build installed.)

Hope this help

Holy shit, you guys just made me the happiest I've ever been to feel like a total moron.

Thanks.

Yep, I just got paranoid when I saw "5.51" and panicked a bit.. Or a lot actually.

Yeah when it happened to me I made the same type of post. I was literally shitting bricks when my ps4 froze and was forced to reboot, thinking it was a goner I checked the firmware and was quite relieved it was back to showing 4.55.

 

[mikey420]

Glad all is well. I gotta go update my PS4 to 5.05 now.... Or well in a couple hours.... I'm at work now....

I felt bad for you. I can image how you must went into panic mode Glad to hear that it was caused by spoofing

 

[warriosbest]

when i see title, pretty sure it's spoofing =))
