    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.

    • spok says:

      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…

      • nebu_187 says:

        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

        • spok says:

          yup cause for some reason these “hackers” always release it after half year or more after they anounce it for e-fame 🙁

          • Sir Mc says:

            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.

  5. loki says:

    first

  6. josemi says:

    Second. Im second!!!

  7. Durk says:

    Not sure if I should wait or not. I have a launch PS4 waiting to be used for stuff like this.

  8. ple2man says:

    I think this is a dangerous device ban. Is there a way to avoid ban while exploiting it?

    • Charles Fasano says:

      Don’t connect it to the internet.

      • Ple2man says:

        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.

  9. Oldmanrick says:

    Finally… !!! you guys are the best!!!

  10. rit says:

    Holyy Grial!! Yessss. for now to wait for a more stable launch.

  11. Abol says:

    Someone release the 5.0 exploit ffs

  12. Vincent says:

    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?

    • PU55YD35TR0Y3R says:

      You need to use the User Manual under Settings to launch the browser, make sure you have your net connection setup correctly.

    • Alex says:

      You’ll have to use the user guide at first to provide access to the web browser

    • James says:

      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.

  15. Pitatesthe best says:

    This is such great news for people who don’t want to pay for games anymore. I want to download all PS4 games that were made. Will need to get a bigger hard drive for all this pirating.

  16. Mister X says:

    -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.

  18. Tarek says:

  19. second says:

  20. Squid_test says:

  21. Joni says:

    Wahhho its the same on psxhax.com…..

  22. Vic-20 says:

    Nice thanks to all involved

  23. DarkSeeker says:

    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.

    • JustAnotherOne says:

      yup, right there with ya on that.

    • lol says:

      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

    • lol says:

      “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

  24. feri says:

    kyaaaaaa!!!!!!

  25. Xyrem says:

    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 !

  26. TheLastOne says:

    freaking last, yay!!!!

  27. thousandyoung says:

    THE SCENE IT’S ALIVE!!! FINALLY!!! NO MORE *** DRAMA!!!

  28. Nanasemaru94 says:

    Hope the guide is very noob friendly because I never jailbreak the 4.05 (since I’m stuck at ofw 4.50)

  29. King BOB says:

    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?

  30. Crispy81 says:

    Damn, thought this might work on my 4.73 system, but alas no. Hopefully it won’t be long.

  31. Rubel says:

    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

  32. tenow says:

    Had 4.07, updated to 4.55 from softpedia and hacked with DNS method. Running backups flawlessly

  33. lollypop says:

  34. Entei says:

    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?

  35. yota79 says:

    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!

  36. hosein says:

    Hi

  37. hosein says:
