I upgraded the hard drive on my first gen PS4 that is jailbroken 5.0.5. I followed what I thought was the correct order of steps, I have my jailbreak still and all my games show, but when trying to launch any of the games it says that they are corrupted and to uninstall them and reinstall them.
Here's what I did:
Made a backup using the PS4's built in backup/restore
Made a backup using the "HDD Upgrade Backup" which was part of PS-Phwoar! v1.2 in the backup section
Replaced the failing 500 gig drive with a 2TB drive
Using USB stick I went through the process of using the 5.0.5 recovery firmware file to get the drive ready for the console
I restored the PS4 using it's built in backup/restore
(at this point all the games/homebrew show up, but with the lock symbol on their icon)
I then go into the web browser and using my PC reinstall the PS-Phwoar! v1.2 Menu
I start HEN 2.1.2 and it runs correctly.
I press the PS button on the controller to go to the main PS4 menu. After a moment the lock symbol is removed from the games/homebrew. but clicking them will prompt that the data is corrupted
I open the web browser and in PS-Phwoar! v1.2 navigate to the "HDD Upgrade Restore" option in the backup section and it finds the backup on USB0 and restore it.
After it says "Data restore complete"
I press the PS button on the controller to return the main PS4 menu, attempt to run a game, and it stills says:
"Cannot start the application
The data is corrupted. Delete the application from the PS4, and then download it again from [library] on the home screen."
The only thing I can think of as a possible reason for this is that I used the "AppToUSB" with the old hard drive due to the size being far too small to hold everything. So I had used that to move the games to the 6TB external drive. But if that's the source of the problem I can't seem to figure out how to work around it, or if I'm going to have to start over from scratch and dump my discs again :-/
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!
