PS4: How to get your hands on a PS4 with a 1.76 firmware or lower
A fully functional PS4 Jailbreak is now available for PS4 running on Firmware 1.76 or lower. The Jailbreak allows to run native code and/or Linux. All files for that exploit have been released here. As such, PS4 models running firmware 1.76 will probably skyrocket in prices very soon, and now might be the last time to get one at a reasonable price.
About PS4 Firmware 1.76
PS4 Firmware 1.76 was released on 2014/08/20 (August 20th, 2014). Any bundle released before that date will have a firmware below 1.76.
Some advice when shopping for a PS4:
- It’s easier to ensure you have the right firmware version if get the device new and sealed, not “used”
- If you get a “used” console, be careful: most sellers update the console to the latest firmware before selling it. Ask them to confirm the firmware version before buying anything. This is true both online and in brick&mortar stores.
- On Amazon and eBay, some sellers sell a different product than what the description says. I have seen some sellers offering the Star Wars bundle instead of the Killzone Shadow Fall bundle, for example. Be careful here, as always, ask the sellers for details if possible.
- Amazon have a great return policy. Use it if the PS4 is not the one you expected!
Buying a PS4 new, with a guaranteed low firmware
The ideal way to get yourself an “old” PS4 firmware is to buy one of the old bundles, and to get it new. The ps3devwiki has a page listing these old bundles shipping with the old PS4 hardware, which are guaranteed to come with a firmware <= 1.76, if you buy them new.
On eBay, you can look for PS4 Launch in the Game consoles category. Make sure to get a “sealed” unit.
Specific bundles below:
- Killzone Shadow Fall Launch Bundle (EAN: 0711719260783) – on Amazon
- Battlefield 4 Launch Bundle – on Amazon
- Knack launch Bundle – on Amazon
- “InFamous Second Son + Killzone Shadow Fall + Knack” Bundle – on Amazon
- NBA 2K14 Bundle
- FIFA 2K14 Bundle
- Dynasty Warriors 7 bundle

- Infamous: Second Son launch bundle
- Watch_Dogs bundle
- Destiny Bundle (black)

Additionally, people are reporting that consoles bundled with The Last of us usually ship with firmware 1.76. Update: several people are reporting that there are 2 types of TLoU bundles, and some of them ship with firmware 2.03. Get confirmation from the seller before buying those!
If you know about other bundles that ship with a low firmware, please let us know in the comments section!
white ps3 with destiny regular yes, if a console is released on a date for sure was made months ago since they need to pack and ship them and whanot
What do you think guys about this ? http://i.imgur.com/HVBJOOx.jpg
Sadly, it’s 2.04 ! (x_x) However,
Thanks to the vendor of amazon for have teleported this to me before Santa-Clause !!
What was the manufacture date?
Mine “Glacier white” is a : 5B (April / 2015).
Without opened the box, i have no clue about this !! My luck…
Hi Wololo, please i did not receive a response to anyone with uncharted bundle being on 1.76, is South Africa the only country with that bundle, i want to buy a bundle but need confirmation, thanks
If you’re talking about The Nathan Drake Collection, definitely way newer than 1.76. I got one of those here in the USA and it came on like version 2.3
Yes I was, thanks for your reply, that sucks
I have buyed last of us remastered bundle from ebay, and for my surprise the firmware was 2.50 🙁
One friend of my had buyed one ps4 with cuh-10xxx and it came with 1.60 🙂
Hi guys
I can offer any firmware needed by this community, I have bundles of ps4 that still on shelves for
almost a year, let me know what FW you guys looking for on danysharelton@gmail.com
FYI ….. I live in Saudi Arabia
For those still looking, I can also confirm the gta v/tlou bundle was firmware 1.75 for me (usa). Amazingly, amazon themselves (NOT 3rd party seller) had 1 left, so i figured i’d go for it and can easily return it if it was not the right fw. All good. Definitely hanging on to this one. There are lots of 3rd party sellers with this bundle up if others want to go for it, but i always worry that some sellers may simply sell a “bundle” with a standard ps4 and the 2 games on the side. The one you want has the gta v packaging, with the physical game inside and a card for the tlou.
Hi, thanks to confirm gta V/tlou bundle it comes with 1.75 but I found the price a little expensive. How much you paid for yours? did you buy it from here?:

I found in ebay other people sell it more expensive $600 crzy

If you know other store more cheaper, pls let me know. Thanks
Yes, that is where i bought it from. And that is about how much i paid (amazon themselves had it for $460). I figured it was worth it since it was sold by amazon themselves, so easy returns if any issue. And i figure once these and other bundles are confirmed to have 1.76 or lower, prices will only get higher, so i just went for it.
I have a sealed launch day PS4 bundle for $1500 if anyone is interested.
Note: The controller may or may not be chargeable, due to the fact that they have been untouched for 2+ years.
$1500? You’re a *** ***. Get bent kid.
No thanks, you selfish. You money lover, go away!
I could have a bundle with God of ward 3 remastered + PS4 500 Go. Is somebody could confirm that is firmware 1.76 or below ?
Mine is 2.51 CUH-1116A 5B

Solved, it’s 1.76
The Sony CUH-1116A B01Y Chassis B have the fw < 1.76 ?
I have an unopened 20th Anniversary PS4 and believe it to be on 1.76 but can anyone confirm this before I open it? I know someone else who has one and says his came on 1.76 and also in this video GiainBomb says theirs is on version is 1.76, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhT98hpk1R4
Many Thanks
how can we even run the webkit test now since to access web browser it ask to sign into psn and how to stop the consoel from updating just in case ?
@sig :
“To bypass the whole being logged into PSN to use a browser thing, a web browser usable without being logged in PSN can be accessed via the User’s Guide in the Settings menu.”
thank you didnt even know it was there…btw do you know is there a way to block the ps4 from downloading the update like blocking a ip or url or something on my router firewall?
Realy, i like the guys and when they bring a working Jailbreak with Homebrew, i think it is OK when they will sell it for 10 USD to support they work for future .
Nice work guys
I Bought 2 Of The GTA V & The LoU Bundle’s Here @
http://www.amazon.com/?tag=wagic-20
For $435 x 2 = $870
1 Was @ 1.71 Firmware
1 Was @ 1.72 Firmware
Just Asked The Seller If These Are The Legit Sony GTA V & The LoU Bundle’s ( Sealed ) Not Just A Ps4 With A Controller And 2 Games Added I Didn’t Have This Problem But Some People Might. Its Better To Ask 1st Than Receive It And Have To Pay And Return It … I Bought Mine Through Amazon Then I Messaged My Seller But I Am Sure You Can Message Him Before The Purchase

Hey guys,
I have a GTA V/TLOU PS4 bundle with firmware 1.70. I just opened it to check firmware, selling it for $450, if anyone is interested.
There isn’t even solid proof that when a jailbreak comes that you’ll absolutely NEED to have 1.76 fw. And you got everyone scrambling to get one. Gonna lmao when a current fw jailbreak comes out.
Is There A CFW Out At All Right Now, That Is Working ? And I Seen A Web Page Where It Says The CUH-1xxxA And The CUH-11xxA Consoles ( These Ones With The Glossy Plastic Case Over HD ) Are The Machines That Can Be Hacked .. I See People Are Showing A 3.15 CFW But I Would Like A For Sure Thing Before I Update To A CFW..
This Is My 1st Console In My Life That I Am Trying To Get CFW For And I Would Really Appreciate Some Help I Am Trying To Help Everyone I Can Find A Older Ps4 With Older Firmware Can You Help Me.? Find A Working ( PS4 – CFW DL )
I Will Need Some Help Explaining What All I Can Do Once The PS4 Is Updated With The Custom Firmware
See With The PS3 CFW It Had To Be At OFW 3.55 Then They Came Out With Other CFW’s For Updating The Firmware I Believe.. I Am A Noobie At This And Need Help With This If You Know Anything About JailBreaking A Ps3 Or Ps4 Please Let Me Know What I Need Besides
1. Ps4
2. 16Gb USB – Named CUH-1115A
3. T.v.
I Think All I Need Is A Working CFW.?

@alkla thank you so much ill try it this weekend didnt even know it was there, also is there a way to block the ps4 from downloading the update like blocking a ip or url or something on my router firewall?
no is not grantee but for now all developers have confirmed up to 1.76 is where kernal and webkit exploit works so most possible whatever come first will be for these firmware prior 1.76 since they focusing on it
Is there a list of games we can play offline that wont update us past 1.76 as well? I have a console but right now it’s just sitting sealed in the box. I’d like a list of games I could safely play as well.
It’s time to begin a game list with firmware prior 1.76. I doesn’t know how start a wiki page about this. I can say GTA5 contain the 1.76 FW. Please add infos if you have any 😉
I promote readers to fill the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_4_system_software at the section PlayStation 4 game list with system software included and required[edit source | edit]
Folks I finally opened my Batman Arkham Knight Gunmetal Bundle because I couldn’t find any confirmation about the firmware and sadly its on 2.04 out of the box. I also wanted to mention that CUH11xxA models were updated so the wiki page isn’t one to be following. I’m hoping that PSBrew is legit now lol. It will be hard for me to find a 1.76 console. Hoping Cturt can exploit the 2xx FWs too. Time will tell
I have an early firmware PS4. Is there a list somewhere of what games are pre 1.76 that I can play offline at least so I don’t have to keep it boxed up collecting dust?
Go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_4_system_software
and fill the section: PlayStation 4 game list with system software included and required[edit source | edit]
That will be perfect! !! Nice MIGWELL2 !!!
Follow me here, but could you just download the 1.76 update from the internet. Then put it on a flash drive and install the update thru safe mode by holding the power button twice while booting then selecting install from USB? Or is the file not universally available.
Jason, the 1.76 is allready avaible. But note you can not downgrade if you mistake. This method is safe if you want to test a game. If you are in 1.76 and the game ask you an update, then it required at least 2.0, if not enjoy.
GTA5 + White PS4 Bundle (UK) … wonder what that one has …
I got a TLOU bundle on 1.76 but it all depends upon the date code. Luckily my local Walmart had one sitting there for ages. I got it black Friday for $298 out the door.
I found a shop that has this last of us bundle the system is Cuh-1215A. Can you confirm what the Date code is??
Did you buy it in the end? What firmware was it on?
its the last of us bundle that say REMASTERED on the box once not the one that says REMASTERED and right under it says REMASTERISE
anyone tried to get a bundle from newegg?
FYI i recently bought the “ultimate singstar bundle” CUH-1116A Console with Datacode “4C” Firmware 1.75 installed. So be fast and get yours!!!
I just bought a Knack bundle from a online store here in Sweden. It has a damaged box, it is why it hasn’t been sold, so here’s hoping it’s on 1.76 or lower! 😀
YAY! It was a launch bundle with fw 1.05! I’m so happy 😀
any updated sites to get one of the gat bundles that bring 1.76 fw or lower?
