IMPORTANT NOTES:

• *.PUP SOFTWARE "DOWNGRADERS" ARE FAKE!
• DO NOT ASK FOR PIRACY OR SDK LINKS: IT IS AGAINST FORUM RULES!
• ONLY GAMES THAT HAVE BEEN DUMPED & DECRYPTED CAN BE PLAYED
• PKG's (FROM SONY'S SERVERS OR ANYWHERE ELSE) ARE NOT PLAYABLE WITHOUT THE LEGIT RIF
• UPDATE PKG's FROM SONY SERVER CAN BE INSTALLED, BUT TO THE A LEGIT GAME (DISC/DIGITAL)
• SAVES BACKED UP (FTP OR DB/SG PAYLOAD) CAN ONLY BE RESTORED TO THE SAME USER/CONSOLE(TRY APOLLO INSTEAD)
• IF THE BD IS BROKEN & YOU CAN NOT UPDATE YOU WILL SEE "E-801809A8" ERROR. (5.00 WILL BRICK IF TRYING TO UPDATE!! 4.74-7.5X CONSOLES SHOULD USE https://orbis.repair/)
• PUP UPDATE/RECOVERY FILES MUST BE PLACED IN USB:/PS4/UPDATE/PS4UPDATE.PUP
• 5.07 AND NOBD USERS: KEEP A CLONE OF YOUR PS4 HDD TO AVOID BRICKING!
• DO NOT USE ONLINE DNS IF YOU HAVE LEGIT PSN CONTENT ON YOUR CONSOLE: IT WON'T BLOCK SONY 100% & CAN DEACTIVATE IT

BEGIN HERE:

YOU WILL NEED:

• A PS4 running <=9.00 FW
• A USB (2.0 or 3.0) HDD formatted as exFAT 64GB or bigger is recommended for the biggest games, but at minimum, you can use a 2GB stick just for 5.05/6.72/7.02/7.55 update/recovery update)
• An internet connection or a PC/Mobile Phone/Raspberry Pi on the same network as your PS4

NOTES:

• If you have a PS4 console running 5.01 or lower, follow the below section to upgrade to 5.05 via USB. If you have a PS4 above 5.50FW you should aim to update to the next closest firmware that supports jailbreaking: 6.72/7.02/7.55, or lastly 9.00. The lower the better!
• If whilst on 5.05 or below you have ever run Update Blocker payload: you must use Update Unblocker first or FTP into your PS4 (port 1337) and delete the PS4UPDATE.PUP.temp.net and the PS4UPDATE.PUP folders in the /update folder.
• If you are on 1.00-8.52 and have a pending update, then update via SAFE MODE
  To enter SAFE MODE, shut down your PS4, hold power to turn it back on and keep holding until you hear the second beep. Now update via option [3 Update System Software]
• If you are on 5.05/6.72/7.02/7.55/9.00 and have a pending update try this: FTP in and delete the PS4UPDATE.PUP file in the /update folder, run update blocker, change your DNS to the ones at the top of this guide, reboot. If this doesn't work a full factory format will be required to remove the pending update nag.

Safely Update PS4 to 5.05/6.72/7.02/7.55/9.00 via USB:

On PC: Format your stick to EXFAT using any suitable formatting tool.
(or on PS4: [Settings] > [Devices] > [USB Storage Devices] > [YOUR DEVICE] > [Options] > [Format as exFAT]).
Make a folder on the root of your USB stick called [PS4], inside that a folder called [UPDATE], and put the [PS4UPDATE.PUP] for your chosen firmware in there (PUP's are found below).
MD5 CHECK ANY PUP FILES BEFORE INSTALLATION! - HERE
Remove the USB from your computer and plug in to the PS4
On PS4: Remove any discs, go to [Settings] > [System Software Update] and update via USB.

CHOOSE YOUR JAILBREAK:

   Set IP as AUTOMATIC, and set DHCP as DO NOT SPECIFY.
   Set one DNS to: 165.227.83.145, set the other to: 192.241.221.79 (This prevents system updates).
   Back out of network test with CIRCLE.
   Go to [Settings] > [Network] > [View Connection Status] to get your IP address ready for further on.
   Open the browser or user guide and you should see AlAzif's exploit host.
   Run BIN LOADER for 5.05 > send the latest GOLDHEN *.BIN to your PS4's IP address and port 9020 using Netcat GUI.

Congratulations, you have just learned how to run kernel exploits and HEN on your 5.05-9.00 console!

Note: remember to enable rest mode application suspending to allow HEN to remain through rest mode.
