PS4 UPDATE 5.05 faulty BD disk drive

Shoot its been a while. I believe I got mine working by removing ribbon cable since I had a faulty drive. Still took many tries. Also make sure you are running the correct jailbreak or it will never work.

 

Both ribbons unplugged.
I use HEN with confirmation.
Maybe I should actually send syscall9 payload instead of loading hosted.

 

If you haven't already:

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

 

@Dark Ronin Have you used FTP and checked that the 'update' folder on the PS4 (not the USB drive) is empty.
If it is not empty that will stop you from updating.
If you have folders named 'PS4UPDATE.PUP' and 'PS4UPDATE.PUP.net.temp' in there, delete them.

 

I did, and deleted.
It's been advised above several times. I totally did my homework.

 

Well, got it working by actually sending payload over network instead of loading one from zecoaxo's github.

 

Kind sirs, thank you for your response, It's always much better with some support and encouragement than without it.

 

Happy you got it working in the end.

 

Thanks. good work. all is fine.

 

Any chance to update from 5.00 to 5.05 with this instruction?

 

Heya again. This thread helped me to go from 4.74 to 5.05 without a BRD

Have they worked out how to do it to go from 5.05 to 6.72 as I just tried but cant update...

Any help is super much appreciated.

 

They are working on new tools to update from 5.05-6.72. I’ll link whatever I can here when I get time.

 

Cheers bud. Is it safe to assume that I can continue playing my games on 5.05 and whenever this workaround comes out and I'll manage to update to 6.72, I wont lose any game save files ?

 

Is there any way to get to the latest official firmwares with a bad BD drive?

 

No.

the tools used to update 4.74 to 5.05 or 6.72 are hard coded not to let any update take place, it’s restricted for jailbreaking.

 

So ehm Hi
So i have ps4 with bd which i guess was installed after first one broken.
And i can't update from 4.55 to 4.74 cuz of error 35888-2
So can anyone tell me my options ?

 

So I was able to update to 4.74 by unplugging my BDR which i plugged back after updating
and I can't get to h t t p s : / / zecoxao.github.io/ cuz There isn't a GitHub Pages site here.

 

Any news on a No BD tool to update from 5.05 to 6.72 yet? Im starting to fear that no BD units will be stuck on 5.05 forever ? :/

 

The tools exist, but I have decided against posting them here because of what they (legally/illegally) contain. I will DM you information.

[QUOTE = "HitchensRIP, post: 9283630, member: 419643"] Alguma notícia sobre uma ferramenta No BD para atualizar de 5.05 para 6.72? Estou começando a temer que nenhuma unidade BD fique presa no 5.05 para sempre? : /
