PS4 4.55 “Holy Grail” PS4Hen released, enables pkg support (homebrew & “backups”)
Hacker m0rph3us1987 has released “Holy Grail”, a payload for the recently released PS4 4.55 exploit.
What is Holy Grail for PS4 4.55
When run in combination with the recently released exploit for PS4 4.55, Holy Grail lets users install and run unsigned packages. In practice, this will let 4.55 owners install and run homebrews as well as, yes, pirated PS4 games.

In other words, Holy Grail is the equivalent of PS4Hen that was released on Firmware 4.05.
A few developers have confirmed after this release that 4.05 homebrews work “as is” on firmware 4.55. Some users have reported that they feel Holy Grail is not as stable as PS4Hen on PS4 4.05, with some reporting some crashes or having to try the payload a couple times, although no major issue. The Video below from user Andrew2007 demonstrates Homebrew “Controller Tester” running on the console.
Other Payloads & exploit updates
In parallel, in the past few hours, multiple updates and releases have happened since a fully functional PS4 4.55 exploit was published earlier today. Besides the holy grail payload, payloads for enabling the web browser (without signing in to PSN) and for enabling Debug Settings have been released. Use at your own risk for now, until the dust settles on these very fresh releases.
The exploit itself has been updated by SpecterDev to fix some bugs and patch dlsym, a step that was critical to ensure 4.05 Payloads could be easier to port to the 4.55 exploit. This matters mostly for you if you’ve been trying to use the 4.55 payloads and ran into issues: make sure you are using the latest version of the exploit, which at the time of writing was uploaded less than 6h ago.
Al Azif has updated his ps4-exploit-host to version 0.4.0 to support the 4.55 exploits. If you plan to use it, ensure you download the latest version of the exploit from SpecterDev’s github, and replace the one in ps4-exploit-host with the one from SpecterDev, to ensure you have the latest version.

To Run Holy Grail on PS4 4.55:
- Get ps4-exploit-host
- Ensure you replace the exploit in ps4-exploit-host with the latest version from SpecterDev
- Copy the Holy Grail Payload to the ps4-exploit-host’s “payloads” folder
- Follow the process outlined in ps4-exploit-host ‘s readme (“How to Run” section). Alternatively, we have a tutorial for 4.05 that’s pretty outdated, but if you follow it loosely you should get there. We’ll work on an updated version shortly

First? im first!!
Nah, you’re a loser.
I’m genuinely impressed and happy for you 🙂
Nobody cares, you dolt. A major breakthrough like this, and you can’t contribute something more to the conversation?
updated to 4.55. waiting for CFW.
i do it otherwise like with PS3 – first CFW at least for 5.x and then i will finally buy latest version of PS4 instead of one year old bundle…
Could become very expensive to buy the ”right firmware” on the moment of a CFW release. Better to buy a PS4 and let it wait on low firmware
yup cause for some reason these “hackers” always release it after half year or more after they anounce it for e-fame 🙁
Well, most is either for self or public acknowledgement of one’s own abilities… And there is nothing wrong with that, the world’s people want all forms of it. Some, like the majority, like such recognition in cash/wage.
You, me and all else is second. Those who receive naught but goods shall not give ****. 🙂
“with some reporting some crashes or having to try the payload a couple times”
… other people said there is some lag with some games (HZD…)
I’ll stay on 4.05 untill it will be fixed.
lag? is that even posible?
Yea definitely. Still seems sketchy and lag on games isn’t good
first
4th 🙁
Second. Im second!!!
Not sure if I should wait or not. I have a launch PS4 waiting to be used for stuff like this.
I think this is a dangerous device ban. Is there a way to avoid ban while exploiting it?
Don’t connect it to the internet.
Thank you, but I knew it was a traditional way. What I want is a way to remove or bypass traces of kernel exploits. I am wondering if there is a need to remove or overwrite my traces, such as ps3, because it is a device ban, not an account ban, unlike vita. I am sorry if my tone is aggressive. Everything is due to Google Translator. I seek forgiveness.
Finally… !!! you guys are the best!!!
Holyy Grial!! Yessss. for now to wait for a more stable launch.
Someone release the 5.0 exploit ffs
Yeah hope we don’t have to wait long. They’ve already been teasing it.
I just got my hands on a PS4 Pro with 4.55. How do I use this exploit, if I can’t launch my browser without signing in to PS Network? Can I sign in to PS network with firmware 4.55?
You need to use the User Manual under Settings to launch the browser, make sure you have your net connection setup correctly.
You’ll have to use the user guide at first to provide access to the web browser
Seriously, who goes out and impulse buys a lower firmware console without first learning how the *** to use said exploit in the first place?. Stop being so *** lazy and learn to google on your own.

Goodluck on downloading 30-50 gb games…lol
Took me an hour for 42gbs.
-If you’re not on 4.55 yet, download the firmware and update via a 1GB (or more) FAT32 USB from psarchive.darksoftware.xyz/Firmware_4.55/PS4UPDATE_SYSTEM.PUP – save it as USBdriveletter:\PS4\UPDATE\PS4UPDATE.PUP and then with your PS4 disconnected from the internet go to Settings – System Update and it should find the 4.55 file on your USB. Make sure it says 4.55 before you confirm the update.
-Download Al-Azif for 4.55 from github.com/Al-Azif/ps4-exploit-host/releases
-Save payloads .bin from mega.nz/#!LpxXEY7T!1Sqdc61vY9BXu5AIUf5GKtiKieghndkbXYyFB1ZPKD8 into the PAYLOADS folder where you’ve extracted the Al-Azif archive
-Run Al-Azif on PC, allow it through the firewall
-Point DNS from PS4 to PC: on the PS4 go to Settings – Network – Custom, set the DNS address to the IP of your PC
-Open the Handbook guide from PS4’s Settings – first option
-If you get an “out of memory” error, retry until you see “You’re all set”
-On the PC, in AL-Azif’s window, select the payload that you want to send (enableWebBrowser455.bin), it’ll probably be option 2
-Restart PS4
-Open PS4 Browser and go to ps4exploits.darksoftware.xyz
-Select 4.55 – 4.55-Exploit
-Debug menu should pop up under Settings – last option
-You can now install PKG files stored on an external hard drive
Optional:
If you want to host all the payloads yourself, you can find HolyGrail mega.nz/#!CbJwlLAY!bODx6pIdF3UXl0vm2EmYWWJQHbex6K-_Wlz8HPn0c_c and the Debug menu mega.nz/#!W9pzEYZB!on8Yl3hx8m_D5rXwos6HvTSgYvuobx_IzwkONj6KYDs, just make sure you insert them each by re-opening the Handbook guide and sending them from Al-Azif’s window on your PC by choosing the appropriate number for each payload.
Im downgrading to 4.55.
Good luck lmao
Hi can we dump games 4.06 and over right now
second? im second!!
hey there second, i’m first
Second, crying on 5.01
Wahhho its the same on psxhax.com…..
Nice thanks to all involved
Yes agreed! Thanks to all and their dedicated work! Much appreciation from the community!
Even if they were to release a cfw for the latest version, I would ignore it. I am far too invested in the Playstation ecosystem to risk it. I’d rather they focus on Switch hacking at this point and release something for 4.1, not invested in the ecosystem there, plus I’d rather give the middle finger to Nintendo because their games almost never go on sale or get a price cut.
yup, right there with ya on that.
Sony games get prices cut because nobody cares about them after one month, and Sony gave you the middle finger yesterday with ps plus with less games at month.
The truth is you’re a ps fanboy lol
“I am far too invested in the Playstation ecosystem” = i’m a fanboy pls don’t steal Lord Sony games
l f m a o
(Sony games get prices cut because nobody cares about them after one month)
kyaaaaaa!!!!!!
Haan madarchod tera byah
On 4.07 here, I feel like using the 4.07 payload if 4.55 is less stable as mentionned.
I’ll wait a couple of days to see how stable things looks then will go for it for sure !
Can’t wait for a theme plugin to show up !
freaking last, yay!!!!
I’m lucky last
THE SCENE IT’S ALIVE!!! FINALLY!!! NO MORE *** DRAMA!!!
Hope the guide is very noob friendly because I never jailbreak the 4.05 (since I’m stuck at ofw 4.50)
Hey guys. Great news. I have a 4.07 PS4 i my cupboard. Whoop Whoop
Can anyone give an indication to if there is a possibility to earn trophies with these back ups? I used to use a flash drive with my Xbox 360 RGH years ago and I would move from console to console. Could this be possible? has anyone tried it?
Who gives a *** about trophies unless you’re 10
Damn, thought this might work on my 4.73 system, but alas no. Hopefully it won’t be long.
I want an opinion.. I have found a used ps4 with firmware 4.07. It has some scracthes on top right corner. Probably 35% of the body are scratched. With one controller and 3 cds, those are 1. The last of us 2. Drive Club 3. Far cry 4. The console has no box. The seller want to sell it 210$. Will it worth it if i buy the ps4?
Sorry for my bad english
Had 4.07, updated to 4.55 from softpedia and hacked with DNS method. Running backups flawlessly
hmm buggors
seems that ps2emu on ps4 405 could need an update 🙁

get me into driving … freez at loading screens :((((
could we port pcsx2 after all ? would gta psx iso work allso ?
Hi everyone, I was able to install one game, but I have a question. It is necessary to do al the process and internet connection to be able to play a installed game (’cause I tried to play online and i couldnt). The are risks to play with the console connected to internet? Like bans or autoupdate?
I’m very lucky, I order a used PS4 PRO ( model CUH-7016B) from amazon and It’s came with the fw 4.55 :D:D:D Happy!
Hi
would somebody please tell me what would happen if I jailbreak my ps4 and play pirated game and then try to connect to the internet and download updates for genuine disks I have?
Hi. if I jailbreak my ps4, can i update games from a genuine disk?
