ESP8266 support updated for 5.05 PS4 Jailbreak
If you don’t know yet what the ESP8266 is yet, check out my article on that cool device here. Long story short, it’s a $5 wifi-enabled device that lets you run the PS4 exploit locally. It works great to run webkit exploits for your favorite console, in particular if you don’t want to keep the console online.
Multiple developers are maintaining some pretty useful binaries for the device in order to let us run the latest exploits on our PS4.
Today, with the release of the PS4 5.05 exploit, we’re seeing a few great updates for the device. C0d3m4st4 has updated his binaries of the ESP8266 (ESP8266ExploitHost) to support exploit 5.05. RetroGamer_74 also has updated his github with support for 5.05.
Specific tools are required to flash the binaries to the ESP8266 device, and I won’t go into details here (the readme files give some direction). Once properly flashed, the ESP8266 will act as a “fake” Wifi router (to which you will need to connect the PS4) which only serves the PS4 exploit.

First. Nice, I can update my ESP8266 now
ESP32 is far more superior to the 8266. It has wifi built in with 4mb and can be updated to 16mb. Plus it already has an emulator for NES.
Im actually in the process of making it easier to add emulators to the system.
With a lil help from kurtE i was able to create a library that allows you to build your own hand held console and games.
The libraries for the 8266 and 32 are similar in a lot of ways. I could probably be persuaded to update the 8266 libraries for this exploit to run on 32.
The only problem is that i dont own a ps4 so i cant do the testing. I would need a patient partner to test the code.
Just message me!
i have an esp32 to test with you and my ps4 xD 5.05
nice, gonna flash this to mine right now
Great, i have one of these and works like a charm!
I use this thing, it’s pretty cool
What about vr? Is it still working? Also I am using a esp8266 too and I think I neverd updated the vr firmware. How can I safely do it?

Wish these were open sourced 🙂
i got ps4 470 formated it no user account cant use web is there a way to make account or use this ESP8266 would work with out account
The browser hack that is used with the esp8266 is the instruction manual from the PS4. Just use this device and open the manual. That’s all it needs . No psn account needed.
how do i enable ftp access 5.05 ? please help
password needed
if there is a source code would be good. i have esp wroom02 has 2mb flash in my hands and i could use it just for enabling hen. other features not be used all the time so i think 2mb flash woul be enough for this.
YOU HAVE .BIN 2M FOR THIS?
