PS4 UPDATE 5.05 faulty BD disk drive

This is a known problem, there is no known fix yet. Maybe one will appear eventually.

Mira CFW is being ported to 4.73 for this reason.

 

I have that same problem. Did you solve it?

 

Someone on FB today told me that there's a work around now?
He told me that there's an app that avoids disc check to update from 4.74 to 5.05. Is it real? Cant find anything

 

I forgot how I update mine from 3.x to 5.05 with swapped out drive. Took me a few hours but got it to 5.05 with no drive. So it is possible.

 

Well thanks for the information, how though xD

But yeah, thanks, looking forward to learn a method as Im stuck on 4.74

 

I believe when you make it to 4.74 there is 5.05 pup that lets you update to 5.05 (I had to remove ribbon cable from bdr) ( I found it on psxhax) Pretty sure thats how it went.

This can be it, and its quite recent too!

I'm gonna try immediately and report back.. You're a star! (if it works)

 

I'm starting to remember

I update all the way to 4.74 with removing bdr ribbon trick

Then I used this to update to 5.05 but I don't remember if I had to mess with the ribbon cables to get it to work.

 

My ps4 bdr has been disconnected years ago and I replaced my console but kept this one for the hax day

Been stuck on 4.74 for ever...

 

Trying to figure out how to inject a payload on ps4 :/

 

Grab ps4 payload sender

Just found my steps





Be on 4.74

Run hen with notify zecoxao.github.io

Install 5.05 pkg

Run payload sender 100% zecoxao.github.io

Send payload with ps4 payload sender port 9020

Put 5.05 update on root (Worked with exfat)

Run 5.05 updater from main menu

 

It worked! I love you <3

 

Going into 2020 strong

 

No better way to start it mate.

Thanks so much. Have a great year!

 

does anyone have the magic_update.7z somewhere else i can download? the psxhax site wont let me download it even after i signed up. stuck on 4.74 and cant play certain games due to needing 5.05.

 

Have you verified your email on psxhax? ( they should have sent you an email upon registering)

Anywas, if that dont work, try this:
