PS4 hack: dlclose exploit updated to enable dev menu
PS4 Hacker Cturt updated the PS4 dlclose exploit yesterday to include a patch that enables the PS4 debug menu. This is of course valid only if your PS4 can run the dlclose exploit, meaning it has to be running firmware 1.76 or below.
The Debug Settings on the PS4 give access to a series of additional tools that could be useful for PS4 tinkerers, modders, and hackers. These settings include some boot parameters to check the console’s health, the infamous “package installer” that could also be found on the PS3 and PS Vita, and a bunch of other options (full list can be found on psdevwiki).
Normally, debug settings are only available on “devkit” consoles sent to PS4 game developers. Unlocking these settings on a retail PS4 therefore gives us access to lots of additional options. These settings don’t give you magical access to unprotected features of the PS4, though. It’s not like the package installer would let one install unsigned content (homebrews or pirated games), but it could certainly opens some doors.
It is unclear if the settings we get through this patch are the full range of Debug options that can be found on devkits, and what can be achieved with those (I still don’t have a PS4 1.76 – a choice I’m regretting more and more every day – so I couldn’t confirm myself). Early testers over at playstationhax are reporting that the package installer doesn’t seem to open, although it could be related to a known fact that the package installer screen won’t load if there’s no package to actually install. However, the package installer now requires package-specific passkeys according to members of playstationhax. Again, just because the option is here doesn’t mean Sony added a completely unprotected backdoor to its own system.
Update: developer fx0day confirmed to me that the package Installer works as long as it finds packages to install, but the installed software will not work due to lack of license. He also confirmed that the debug settings patch gives us access to slightly less options than one could find on a PS4 devkit.
Cturt has also confirmed that the package installer works, but it won’t install a valid license file, meaning the installed pkg can’t technically be run (unless we’re talking demos or packages that do not need a license)
Nevertheless, it’s certainly a very cool new feature for those of you with a 1.76 PS4, and adds a good list of new things to explore. The package installer has been used in the past on the PS vita for things such as installing Netflix in countries where Netflix wasn’t officially supported, for example.
Download
The PS4 dlclose exploit can be downloaded from KR105’s github here. You’ll need to compile it with the PS4 SDK, until a good soul decided to share a compiled binary.
Update: Twitter user @Di_Scala_ published a binary (untested, use at your own risk!)
It’s interesting to note that CTurt submitted this change in KR105‘s repository, to me a great sign that the PS4 scene is starting on good collaborative grounds 🙂 CTurt also credits long-time scene dev flat_z for the patch.

Not least
WOW STOLE MY POST!!!1!! Jk thanks for updating us on this been waiting for your news on it as soon as I saw and posted it on the forums.
Noone stole ur post. This is an informative site. Get over it and thank WOLOLO for all of the great news!
jk breh 😉
Can anyone provide a complied binary of this exploit
can someone post the complied updated dl close exploit with debug setting
Well demos you say… maybe it’s time to test if the PT demo can be installed, people have been selling consoles on the internet with the PT demo for $500 $600, that option could be usefull.
It can be installed, i’ve just done so. However you can’t load the PT demo as the PS4 states you don’t have a licence for it.
Could this be used to install themes from the store, if they’re free content (for example pre-order bonus themes you get for free while placing a pre-order, but not necessarily paying until the release date)? Or does it only count for demos?
In original ps4 (without hack),wiiu and xboxone,if bluray drive broken (for pcb\motherboard of the bluray drive electronics problem) can be changed with a new one or CANT like on ps3\360?
If i get one bluray drive from another console PS4 it work to another PS4 when i change it or not?
Or it’s the drive lock by a code like on 360\ps3?
And on a ps4 or wii with hack is possible to change the pcb?
PS Vita PS4 hack continue???
“Add Content Manager”
Is that the Vita Content Manager?
Built this earlier today but keep getting ‘out of memory’ errors when running it (sent via netcat)

Default ip and port unchanged from original source.
Good Luck!
Thanks man ill be testing in a sec
It looks like you compiled it incorrectly as I also get a out of memory error when running it.
My toolchain should be fine as the ps4sdk examples build and run great.
Didn’t get any errors on compile, kinda hard to mess up ‘make’.
Not too sure why then that’s pretty strange. I would try compiling it but I know nothing about ‘make’ and have never worked with it.
If you are still interested or havent fixed your binary a kind soul gave me this to download.

I also saw it (and your post) on playstationhax.it, so i’ve already got it running 🙂 Thanks though, I’m sure others will be thrilled to see a link.
Do you also get lots of “An error has occured. CE-30129-5)” while paging between debug menu pages? We dont have anything to do in here yet so I’m not complaining, just making sure it’s an issue everyone is having.
Sorry for the late response but yes, in every option an error will appear and I believe a few of the options are disabled when you don’t have psn access and or because not all dev software is patched to run every option.
Sorry for the late response but yes it seems like every option gives off an error which is probably caused by not having all developer settings patched to run.
Great news I have PS$ updated so its uncertly disapointing but i like verymuch online experience.
Anybody knows if a PS4 with that menu can install for example the Sillent Hills DEMO, I’m just curious. THANKS, and yes I read the CTurt’s update but didnt make clear to me.

How i can inject your binary files on my ps4 1.76 ? You can explain.
Thank you
You use the ‘code execution’ block/button, then when it’s waiting on payload you send the binary through netcat to your PS4’s IP address like this — nc -w 3 192.168.1.104 9023 < PS4-debugmenu.bin
Go to PS4 playground and click on ok button in the code execution tab make sure you have some sort of way to run netcat commands on whatever os your running on and run ( nc -w 3 192.168.0.7 9023 < "nameoffilehere.bin" ) and have the binary in the same folder of netcat. Also if your running windows your going to have to download netcat compiled for windows.
If you need more help just ask. 🙂
Oh *** lol forgot to say you need to change that netcat command to the ip of your ps4.
I ‘m the webkit on ps4 but I was unable to launch the bin file via netcat
Thank you for your reply
Apparently my comment is awaiting moderation so if you know another way for me to show you how just let me know.
This post gave me a tummy ache now i gotta dung drop some mean eggrolls down the youtuber such a waste. Playstation 4.5 was really made to be like its its former self the super ps3 slim. With the stength of its updated secure hardware the super slim still holds the hack scene down and with ps4.5 already in final production its sure to have both the protection measurments of the ps vita and super slim ps3
how do i inject compiled bin to my ps4 ???
Made this video just for showing people how to do that,
Thank you for your help and your working.
Nice video
Thank you very much for your help and your work.
Nice video
its is fake or real?cfw for Ps4:http://community.eu.playstation.com/t5/PS4/NEW-CFW-SCOPERTO-IN-UN-FIRMWARE-PLAYSTATION/m-p/24234787
Fake and/or misunderstanding, they misunderstood the custom themes discussed here: http://wololo.net/2016/04/26/ps4-custom-home-menu-the-early-steps-of-ps4-unofficial-themes/
Fake until someone well known confirms it. Othwrwise it’d probably be on here first. Unless it’s a leak of course which i for one hope its not a leak which would mean its fake.
Thank you very much 🙂 😉
