That's so weird, thanks for reporting it. I've tested it may times and it always worked.Leeful another today question, this time to report an error on the 'HDD_Upgrade_Restore'.
After perform a restore with it, i obtain double folders on locations in uppercase for 'savedata' and 'savedata_meta' and also for 'user/db'. So by the way i have these folders twice but one is lowcase, the one used by the ps4, and in uppercase, the ones that the ps4 isnt using.
And of course when that happen, the system do not take the changes.
By the same way wanted to ask you about that difference, because certain payloads export the user id in uppercase, but the system use a lowercase names... So which is the correct ?
Please can you check all this issue ?
thx in advance
Sorry I don't know what you mean.Leeful, you mean that to use that payload 'HDD' i have to use previously a restore from a system backup for savegames ?
Sorry I don't know what you mean.
To successfully transfer your profile, trophies and save games to an initialized PS4, A new HDD or to another console
you must do the following:
1. Make a backup of your profile using the official Backup app in system settings.
2. Run the 'HDD Upgrade Backup' payload in PS-Phwoar!
3. Initialize, Install a new HDD or go to a different console. Whichever one you are trying to do.
4. On your freshly initialized, new HDD or different console, restore your profile using the official Restore app in system settings.
5. After your console has restored your profile, Install PS-Phwoar! again and run the 'HDD Upgrade Restore' payload.
6. After your console has rebooted your profile, trophies and save games have been restored.
If you do not do this in this order it will not work.
If you have activated your profile or made any other changes during these steps, it will not work.
Ive just done it on my 5.05 Pro to test again and make sure and everything restored perfectly as it should.^^ Leeful, but your payload 'HDD' peform yes or yes the backup restore, isnt it ? so then what about the twice folders in uppercase ?
Because, the first tried, i did exactly what you said. And see the fact, after the problems on the savegames... i decide to copy by hand all from the 'HDD' payload backup, by hand via ftp. And worked.
Of course with the manual editings for the user name and the numeric + hexadecimal values folders.
So i think that you should check a bit more that payload because something on the procedure seems not ok...
Why did you this with your psn id? and why did you try and restore the saves using the system backup? That is probably why things messed up.The backup was made the August 8 so it was the payload in the lastest PS-Phwroar! 1.4. And the backup was made with the 'HDD_Upgrade_backup' payload. Then i changed the HDD, and then i initialized all. On this position i performed the user psn id change with the tools and infos you had the kindness to give, and then i did restore savegames using the system backup for them.
What does "HDD Upgrade Backup' payload " do?
Does it do the same as "backup" payload on al azif server (ie game saves and trophies)?
And we need a usb drive attached to run this payload?
you confirm this method works so I can transfer all game saves and trophies for one PS4 consoles
running 5.05 to a second ps4 console running 6.72?
Confirmed!
The HDD Upgrade Backup and Restore payloads in PS-Phwaor! also work when transfering all your data from a 5.05 console to a different 6.72 console.
Same procedure,
Make a backup of your profile, settings and/or any games you want to move using the official backup app on 5.05.
Run the 'HDD Upgrade Backup' payload on 5.05.
Restore your 5.05 profile using the official restore app on the 6.72 console.
Run the 'HDD Upgrade Restore' payload on 6.72.
Done. Your profile, trophies and save games are now on your 6.72.
The only thing that did not transfer were the wifi settings. No idea why, they show the same but it would not connect so I had to enter them again.
In the meantime, before I get the 6.72 version of PS-Phwoar! finished, here is the 6.72 payload for 'HDD Upgrade Restore'.
Remote play is enabled via Hen or Mira.Same question as madmax2,what does this payload brings exactly ? I have successfully restore my 5.05 profil to my 6.72 new console, except trophies and Remtoe play does't work. If I use this payload I will restore trophies and maybe other stuffs ?
Thanks
No you can use the same USB to backup your profile (using the official app) and the 'HDD Upgrade Backup' payload.Hey can you answer these questions
do we need a separate usb flash drive (ie not the backup hdd) attached to usb port when running 'HDD Upgrade Backup' payload?
also does it do the same thing as the al azif "backup" payload? ie copies DB files, savedata and trophies folder)?
Please tell us what folders it is copying?

No you can use the same USB to backup your profile (using the official app) and the 'HDD Upgrade Backup' payload.
AlAzif's backup and restore payloads only restore your databases. It does not restore your Trophies or savedata like this does.
I originally made these payloads to transfer your profile, trophies and savedata if you were upgrading your HDD but it also works if you initialise your PS4 or if you want to transfer everything from one console to another. and with todays test It also works transfering everything from a 5.05 console to a 6.72 console.
Whatever reason you are using this, you MUST backup your profile using the official backup app first. In the official app do not backup your saves, only your profile(which is done by default) your system settings and any games you wan to move (if the USB drive you are using is big enough to fit them on.)
@arfgh earlier you said you restored your saves using the system backup, that might be why you had dupicate folders.
you also said that you activated your profile, that would explain the folders with the hex values.
As well as today I have tested these payloads many times before on the same console, installing a new HDD and to transfer from one console to another and it has always worked as it should transfering the profile, trophies and save games without any problems.
I have never given those instructios to use if you are using the HDD Upgrade backup restore payloads. Why would I.Leeful, remember the instructions you gave, after reinitialize, activate profile with the psn id with the offlineactivator. Just what i did, but anyways, you should check what i am saying, that is, moving by hand all the files, into the HDD payload backup, by hand and via ftp, works. Of course with the pre-edit i said. But this means, that maybe you should perform a new 'more direct' payload to perform this operation.
