Do you want to test the PS4 firmware 2.50 right now? – SKFU can grant you this wish!
Important note: Some people on external sites are saying this could brick your PS4, or that this could install some sort of “backdoor” on your PS4: those statements are false and based on nothing. The technique below does not install anything harmful on your PS4, it points the console to the official (but hidden) PS4 2.50 file, hosted on Sony’s servers. This is the exact same file that Sony is sending to their beta testers.
Sony has published an official changelog of the upcoming PS4 firmware 2.50, which will be released in near future.
Some users are already running the beta (preview) firmware of version 2.50, which is only available to the MVP members of Sony, or is it?
Developer SKFU has published a method which allows any person to install the beta firmware 2.50 onto their PS4, as long as they are going to follow SKFU’s tutorial.This basically consists in finding the PUP file and tricking the PS4 into downloading it through SKFU pr0xy.
Keep in mind that a beta firmware is prone to have flaws, and that you are unable to downgrade your PS4 back to the most recent (public) firmware, which is 2.04.
It is also worth to mention that the Remote Play feature, the one that lets you use the PS4 screen on your PS Vita (TV), requires the PS Vita to run a firmware that has not been released yet (a firmware higher than 3.36).
This pretty much makes it impossible to use this feature, until Sony publishes the public PS4 FW 2.50 and a new PS Vita firmware alongside it.
From SKFU:
- Get any SKFU’s Pr0xy server (wololo.net)
- Start & setup the Proxy Server on your PlayStation4
- Redirect “http://feu01.ps4.update.playstation.net/update/ps4/list/eu/ps4-updatelist.xml” to “http://zload.net/ps4/beta/ps4-updatelist.xml”
- In case your from another region, change “/eu/” to your regioncode!
- Search for an update on your PS4
- Download, install and enjoy 2.50 Beta 🙂
- In case this does not work, try the installation via safemode “Update using Internet”. If you have setup the proxy already, it also works in safemode.

keeping getting error NW-31456-9
nm.. figured out the issue 😛
I’m dumb can someone please post a video tutorial
Lol so my system got bricked after doing this. Took it a good 5 hours though. Time to buy another new harddisk
Worked here in Germany without problems. Some nice features also the backup feature under system 😉
My PS4 didn’t brick after installing 2.50, works normally.
Suspend/resume works great, really impressed how quick it loads from rest mode into game!
I’m using vitapr0xy for mac, but its not working, any inputs?
I’ve been searching everywhere for months 🙁 didn’t find the mac v
can you please upload it for me! i will be so thankful
still not working.. it never shows up in my downloads. Tried this in safemode and from the dashboard
all I get is the SU-35941-2 error this file cannot be used with the PS4
i cant even get the proxy to connect to my ps4
I just get something about already having latest update.
Will this get you banned?
WILL THIS GET YOU BANNED OR NOT?
US Only, tested and working.
Download the ZIP
Extract ZIP
Run .exe
Go to the tab HTTP(S) Rules
Enter http://fus01.ps4.update.playstation.net/update/ps4/list/us/ps4-updatelist.xml into Source
Enter http://fus01.ps4.update.playstation.net/update/ps4/beta/list/us/ps4-updatelist.xml into Target
Set up PS4 to connect to the Proxy by selecting Manual setup and proxy on. Connect with what it gives you on the bottom. For example, Proxy IP 192.168.1.166 Port 8080.
Start Proxy
Test Connection
Turn off PS4, NOT REST MODE!!!
Enter safe mode by holding power on the system until you hear the second beep
Go to Update PS4>Via Internet
Let it “Install” the file and fail at the end
Restart PS4 and sign into account and go into downloads, it should now be in the download queue.
Let it download the file and prepare it for installation.
Start the update, let it restart PS4, and enjoy your 2.50 beta ladies and gentleman.
If anyone is having problem follow these instructions. I could not figure it out then I read this and
it worked thank you sooooo much!
i really had trouble with this but it did eventually work. my solution i believe was when copy/pasting both
“http://fus01.ps4.update.playstation.net/update/ps4/list/us/ps4-updatelist.xml”
“http://fus01.ps4.update.playstation.net/update/ps4/beta/list/us/ps4-updatelist.xml” into the “HTTP(S) Rules” tab. it left a “space” at the beginning of both fields and all i had to do was “Backspace” to get “http” to hit the very beginning text field.
i think the space issue was causing me to keep getting the “Network error” on the PS4.
but just to be safe i also opened the port 8080.
hope this helps other users in the future.
Has this been fixed? I keep getting error NW-31456-9
Thats what I would like to know too, I don’t want to be banned lol
I tried using the proxy server and my ps4 is not letting me connect to the internet through the proxy. if someone can help me out i would really appreciate it
I tried using the proxy server and my ps4 is not letting me connect to the internet through the proxy.
thats an issue I have been having , if I use the IP that the program is giving me it doesn’t work. If I change the Ip to something different in my range it works, but it never shows up in my downloads. What do you suggest I do to correct that problem ?
I see the issue with the IP, it was pulling it from my vm. I disabled all the vm network adapters and use an IP I could use, but i am still having the same issue. I download it from safe mode, said this file cannot be used and then I restarted and nothing.
If you got PS+ then you should go to System -> Automatic Downloads and Uploads check the box that is responsible for firmware system downloads.
Then download the file in PS4 system (NOT SAFE MODE). The download will not start and you will get an error. Turn of your PS4 and wait a while. Then go to your downloads and the update file should be downloading.
Thank you so much, I was searching for a way to work without to enter safemode and your method works perfectly
I tried this, think I set it up correctly, but no dice.
Won’t connect either directly or through Safe Mode. Just gives me error code “SU-30697-5”, which i can’t even find online.
Anyone else seen and overcome this obstacle?
It worked for me! Posted a video of it on YouTube.
