PS4:Standard Jailbreak

This page will walk you updating your console to an appropriate firmware (if needed) and enabling homebrew.

Determining your Firmware

• Jailbreaking can only be achieved on a firmware lower than latest.
• To determine your firmware, navigate to Settings > System > System Information on your PS4.
• Take note of your firmware. If you're on 11.00 or anything lower you can continue.

What firmware is the best?

To keep it short, different firmwares will need different exploits, thus can lead to various levels of stability and success rates. Please do keep in mind that they can be updated in the future.

If you are on:

• <5.05 - either keep it for archiving purposes or update only up to 5.05 - 9.00.
• 5.05 - it’s considered the gold firmware because of its stability and success rate. Either stay on it or update to 9.00 (note that you will need to backport most of your new games in order to play them)
• 6.72 - stay on it (or update only up to 9.00)
• 7.02 stay on it (or update only up to 9.00)
• 7.5x (7.50, 7.51 & 7.55) - stay (preferably update to 9.00 not above)
• 8.0x & 8.50 - update to 9.00
• 9.00 - stay (much easier to use than 11.00 try PPPwn on 9.00 before updating)
• 9.60 - stay (you will use PPPwn but will have access to a userland called psfree for a chance at a better exploit in the future)
• 11.00 - stay (currently the latest exploitable firmware do not update)
• For non listed firmwares check goldhen compatibility or update to the nearest from the list.
• No firmware after 11.00 can be jailbroken meaning 11.02,11.52 and 12.00 cannot be jailbroken.

Updating to desired firmware

• On the darthsternie website Retail/Official Firmwares are update files that let you update from for example firmware 8.50 to 9.00
• On the darthsternie website Recovery Firmwares are firmware reinstalation/recovery files that wipe the console of all user data this option is used when replacing the HDD and in either case you can stay on the same firmware you are currently on.

1. Download the 9.00 Retail Firmware (or your desired version) file onto your PC by visiting one of the following sites. Do not get beta firmwares.
   • DKS - PS4 Official Firmwares - Recommended because of the faster download speeds.
   • PS4 Firmwares - Darthsternie's Firmware Archive - No account or CAPTCHA required, but slower download speeds.
   • If you want to start fresh and reset the console, you will need to download a recovery update file. These will always be around 1 GB in size.
   • If you want to update an existing console, do not use a recovery file an only use a normal firmware update. They will be around 500 MB or less in size.
2. Unpack your archive and or rename the file to PS4UPDATE.PUP (must be in all caps).
3. Prepare a USB stick drive by formatting it to FAT32 or exFAT and creating a folder on the root of the drive named PS4 and another folder inside PS4 named UPDATE. Copy PS4UPDATE.PUP into the UPDATE folder. The final structure should look like this: PS4 > UPDATE > PS4UPDATE.PUP.
4. Plug the USB stick into an empty slot on your PS4.
5. Boot into PS4's recovery settings by turning off the PS4 and holding the PS4 power button until it beeps 2 times. Recovery mode should look like this:
   • 
6. Once in Safe mode choose option 3. Update System Software
7. In the following menu choose option 1. Update from USB Storage Device
8. Press YES, NEXT or ACCEPT to any additional options.
9. The PS4 will now install the firmware on the HDD.
10. REMOVE ANY ETHERNET CABLE AND/OR SKIP WI-FI SETUP. Keep everything offline during and after setting up your PS4.
11. After setup, navigate to Settings > System > Automatic Downloads > Uncheck Featured Content, System Software Update Files, Allow Restart and Application Update Files.

Replacing/Upgrading internal storage

• or factory resetting while updating.
• Notice: Any replacement HDD will be treated as new by your ps4. So you cannot have multiple internal HDD's and swap between them.
• After replacing your internal storage (Guides for replacing PS4 internal storage)
  • NOTICE! Do not download firmware from the PlayStation website. In this situation only refer to the hardware replacement details in the guide.

1. On the darthsternie website Retail/Official Firmwares are update files that let you update from for example firmware 8.50 to 9.00
2. On the darthsternie website Recovery Firmwares are firmware reinstalation/recovery files that wipe the console of all user data this option is used when replacing the HDD and in either case you can stay on the same firmware you are currently on.

Troubleshooting 5.05-9.00

• An error "Not enough memory" appears.
  • It's a common error. Keep pressing OK until you pass it.
• The PS4 just shutdown/rebooted itself.
  • Another common error. Do not worry, remove the USB drive if on 9.00 and keep trying the same procedure starting with User Guide.
• I rebooted the PS4, and now I can't launch my games/apps.
  • Jailbreaking is not persistent/permanent and as a result you need to re-jailbreak your PS4 every time you reboot/shut down your PS4. As a alternative, you can put your PS4 on rest mode and you don't need to re-jailbreak.
• Will my PS4 die from doing this?
  • No, even forced reboots won't kill your PS4.

Enabling Homebrew 9.00, 9.60, 10.00, 10.01, & 11.00 (PPPwn)

Troubleshooting PPPwn 9.00, 9.60, 10.00, 10.01, & 11.00

• The PS4 just shutdown/rebooted itself.
  • A common error. Do not worry turn on the console and try again (you may need to press the power button on the console twice)
• I rebooted the PS4, and now I can't launch my games/apps.
  • Jailbreaking is not persistent/permanent and as a result you need to re-jailbreak your PS4 every time you reboot/shut down your PS4. As a alternative, you can put your PS4 on rest mode and you don't need to re-jailbreak.
• Will my PS4 die from doing this?
  • No, even forced reboots won't kill your PS4.

Windows Desktop side troubleshooting.

• • Troubleshooting on windows is not straightforward but you can try the following things.
  • Confirm your ethernet adapter is NOT bridged with anything.
  • Try changing the Npcap version to an older one.
  • If you get an error that says Packet.dll not found then make sure Npcap is installed and if it is from C:\Windows\System32\Npcap copy the file Packet.dll to the same location as the pppwn.exe C++ implementation for the GUI you are using or the CLI method.
  • Confirm your ethernet adapter is functional by going into device manager and looking at "network adapters" if there are any issues try reinstalling your adapter driver.
  • If using Python version make sure Python , Pip and Scapy are installed.
  • Try a different windows device as sometimes no matter what you do issues cannot be resolved without reinstalling windows.
  • If using a USB to Ethernet adapter the adapter may just not be compatible.

PS4 side troubleshooting.

• • Failed to get IP when pressing on "Test Internet Connection" Usually a PC side issue look above for troubleshooting or check your PS4 internet settings by looking below.
• PS4 Connection Troubleshooting
  • Go to Settings and then Network
  • Select Set Up Internet connection and choose Use a LAN Cable
  • Choose Custom setup and choose PPPoE for IP Address Settings
  • Put in anything as Username and Password it is recommended for it to be 1 letter that's the same in both fields for better compatibility.
  • Choose Automatic for DNS Settings and MTU Settings
  • Choose Do not use for Proxy Server
  • Go back and be ready to press on Test internet connection
  • Sometimes if you get no IP or are stuck on "[*] Waiting for PADI..." you need to redo these settings and test again.

Putting the goldhen or VTX payload on a usb
