PS4 6.00 Firmware update
A few hours ago, Sony released firmware 6.00 for the PS4. As for any major release, PS4 owners were expecting an update with lots of new features, but it appears this new update only “improves software performance”.
It almost feels like a mistake happened, or Sony are planning something massive that for some reason couldn’t be pushed as part of this update. Many PS4 owners were expecting features such as the possibility to change one’s PSN name, among others. By comparison, firmware 5.0, released last year, had a significant number of new features.
The update is allegedly compulsory if you want to use Sony’s online services.
Implications of PS4 Firmware 6.00 for hacks and PS4 Jailbreaks
As always, if you have a hacked PS4, or a PS4 you hope to hack in the future, do not update it. The lower the firmware, the higher your chances of getting a hack. It is not publicly known at this point what potential exploits this firmware patches.
With that being said, there is to my knowledge no hacker who publicly announced they would release any new hack anytime soon, including on lower firmwares such as 5.55. The latest PS4 Jailbreak works on firmware 5.07 and below (5.05 being more common).
Anyone running on firmware 5.5x, or, now, on 6.00, are currently out of luck, and their best bet is to get a console running 5.05.

I’m stuck in FW 5.00 so no jailbreak or update for me anyway. 🙁
You could just update to 5.05.
It seems nobody remembers the issues that some of us have with our ps4 bluray drive, If it were posible to update to 5.05 for me, I would… and I almost forget… FIRST!
I can’t…my bluray drive is the problem
Why is it a problem for you?

No fix at all. Tried.everything. Right now my ps4 is just for decoration.
You can manually update to 5.05 or 5.07 via the USB file.
You don’t need a Disc that has the firmware loaded on it or something (I’m not even aware of this being an option).
That was the last thing I tried and the more s t u p i d, I lost all my installed games, and without the option to reinstall them because the ps store won’t connect
sony doesnt allow firmwares to be installed on faulty consoles. in this case his disc drive is fkd up. a lot of people have this issue and sony does not seem to care. some people dont even own disc games, and cant even play online their digital ones because they cant update.
you could try and replace the drive flex ribbon cable
Get another bd rom for the same or just the board and swap chip from faulty board to new bought and hopefully should fix the issue.
it’s no sense to me keep spending money on the ps4, but thanks for the advice. When my ps vita stop functioning will be the end of sony consoles for me, it’s just because I still play on my vita that I keep track of wololo and it’s news, and I have to admit that I have a very little hope that through the scene my ps4 can revive, but today there’s nothing to do with it.
if you may sell it on ebay, i can buy it for you. I have a cracked ps4 since my cousin dropped some heavy sht and i can use it to change the case. But that´s up to you.
Let the 5.55 jailbreak come!
Save us, Mr. Mathieu Hervais

That happened to me on the PS3, the console don’t let update if there is malfunction on the hardware, In your case the blu-ray drive, just take your PS4 to a computer repair store, and tell them about your blu-ray drive problem, they should be able to get you a new blu-ray drive and replace it on your console. I don,t know how much you would spend but it should be cheaper then buying a new console. And check if you still get warranty, In that case contact Sony and they should take carro oficial your problem for free, but be warned, if you send your ps4 to sony, they Will probably update your console to the latest update. And you don,t have to rely on the blu-ray for games, you can buy games digitaly.
My ps4 console is abandoned, I won’t give more money to sony, they ripped me off enough already. I switched to PC with steam and gog. I still use my ps4 controllers, but in pc you can buy very old games and use mods for online play where sony don’t care about its users. I’m still not very adapted to my new ecosystem but companies should show more respect for they customers, why I can’t reinstall in my ps4 all my digital games?? Just because it’s not in the firmware they want?? It’ enough for me.
Yeah you can just wait for XboxOne to be hacked.
what kind of ps4 is it? a fat system, isn’t it? I’m only asking because on slim and probably on CUH-12xx (c-chassis) the blu-ray drive is nothing else just a blu-ray diode and 3 stepper motors, thats all. So those have all their important chips on the motherboard – which means you can just plug in any other similar ps4 drive and off you go. If you – however – have those older fats CUH-10xx, 11xx then you probably cannot do it at all if something went wrong in the blu-ray drive as it has its own small pcb with controller chips.
Why do you keep moaning about your PS4 on here when it’s clear you don’t even want to fix it. Few people here have giving you options to get it fixed but you are not interested in getting it fixed……so why are you complaining about it?
Nobody who has been paying attention expected a PSN name change feature. Sony never said there would be one.
“improves software performance” lol why can’t they be more open to consumer, like “This update contains new PSN protocol and encryption key”.
system performance
not software performance
I’m not sure how much rep this guy has or even if it’s true but on Twitter @xHARDHeMPuS said “Release Exploit Kernel 5.55 coming soon” hopefully it’s legit and not just another load of bs
Heʻs from Brazil lol, definitely not legit
Yeah he deleted the tweet then released another webkit not a kernel
Man, it sucks to be on a lower firmware because you can’t play any of the newer games. Kiwami 2 and Spiderman probably force you to update, right?
Yes new games usually require the latest firmware to deter piracy
Enjoy the games you pirate or just update and buy the new games. You can’t have it all in the pirate world 😀
You can. On PS Vita with RePatch 😉
I bumped my desk and my ps4 barely moved. It’s very stable now after that new update!
hi guys. is it possible to jailbreak firmware 5.55??
Not yet buddy.
honestly doubt any of the drama queens will release anything, may as well update already
This is the new PS3 stability update 😀
I’m working in firmware 6.00 🙂
