Release: Syscon Firmware decrypter for PS4
Developer Zecoxao has released the source code for Siscon, a decrypter tool for the PS4 System Controller’s firmware updates.
The tool does not come with the decryption keys, but they are easy to find.
What is the PS4 Syscon?
The System Controller is a chip on the PS4, which is in charge of powering up other components of the system and communicating with them. According to hackers, it also happens to be storing some data on behalf of SAMU, the PS4 security processor.
Recently, Fail0verflow have stated that better knowledge of the Syscon chip on the PS4 could lead to possible downgrades of the console. Not much has been released in that area since then, so it will be interesting to see what people can do with this tool moving forward.
This goes without saying, but unless you’re a developer, this tool will not be particularly useful for you.
Download Siscon
The source code for the PS4 syscon firmware decrypter can be downloaded from the developer’s github here.

So anyway Downgrade possible or not ?
if possible pls make a guide!

Even if it is possible, pretty sure there’s a min. fw ver that one can downgrade to depends on your PS4 mo-bo ver. Remember the PS3 days?
Cool. Knowledge is power.
Exciting times! The more tools the scene has the better.
Duel boot would be a great thing, then I can finally play the new dam Spiderman game as I highly doubt we will see 5.55 CFW any time soon
