PS4 CFW and Hacks

Recently iOS developer ktiOSz (Twitter) of KernelTeamiOS made available a Bluetooth iOS to PS4 software port called simply BluetoothOS.

Download: BluetoothOS-master.zip / GIT

Check out the details below from the README.md file, to quote: BluetoothOS

BluetoothOS, a porting Bluetooth from iOS SOFTWARE to PS4 SOFTWARE

The devices that were used are iPhone 7 iOS 11.3 and PS4 SLIM 2018 with last update 06/2018. The BluetoothOS will be updated with all firmware versions both on iOS and PS4.

Following the initial work from Duxa (Chrushev) and my testing I continued to work on my script below, which was then proceeded by PS4 PKG Repackager version 6.15.18.

What is this ?

T42-repackager is a script that make quick and easy the repackaging of PS4 FPKG updates (fully automated process).

Who did this ?

This script has been written completely from scratch by myself (inspired by duxa's unpacker).

Why should I use it ?

To resign FPKG update build with a different base because of signing problem (error ce-36434-0).

To modify and rebuild FPKG update for testing or modding purpose (don't release them as proper update).

What this script does not :

• Make coffee
• Repackaging Official Update (this script is about FPKG not PKG).
• Offer an interactive and elegant interface (you launch the script and take a coffee).

Before asking for anything :

• Read explanations in this opening post (OP) as well as the upcoming ones.
• Read comments inside my script and seek for readme.txt alongside.
• Take few minutes on search engine ...

Known issues :

• Inconsistent Software Development Kit and Required System Software versions
  • The problem is only relevant for lower firmware 4.05/4.55 owners
  • orbis-pub-cmd.exe overwrite param.sfo on the fly with higher values (see screenshots)
  • As a workaround, open orbis-pub-gen.exe and rebuild from existing cusaxxxxx-patch.gp4
  • This problem may already affect base and/or existing patch. In that case you should seek for original values then modify param.sfo and rebuild with orbis-pub-gen.exe

• Scenarios mismatch : "[Error] Number of scenarios was changed by the patch/remaster". Use proper fpkg base and/or update to avoid building errors. Otherwise try to overwrite playgo-xxx.xxx files in cusaxxxxx-patch with those present in the base fpkg.

Requirements :

1. a device with windows 7 or higher and a drive...

Yes its another esp8266 project
I made this for my own personal use but I will post it for other people to use too.

• GitHub - PS4-Server

This is a project designed for the esp8266 D1 Mini to be installed inside the console much like a modchip but to provide a wifi http server and dns server.

The D1 Mini is perfect for this project because it is only 34mm x 25mm in size and can operate off 5v using the 5v pin onboard so the usb connection is not needed and the ps4 has 5v solder points.

The firmware is updatable via http and the exploit files can be managed via http so the esp8266 board once installed never needs to be accessed again.

This is designed to use the 5.05 exploit and payloads in a single html file format like ApptoUsb.html

I would not call this a modchip but its the closest thing we have right now to having a totally self contained method for the PS4 to launch mirafw and the payloads.

Implemented Internal Pages

• admin.html - the main landing page for administration.
• index.html - if no index.html is found the server will generate a simple index page and list the payloads automatically.
• info.html - provides information about the esp board.
• format.html - used to format the internal storage(SPIFFS) of the esp board.
• upload.html - used to upload files(html) to the esp board for the webserver.
• update.html - used to update the firmware on the esp board (fwupdate.bin).
• fileman.html - used to view / download / delete files on the internal storage of the esp board.
• config.html - used to configure wifi ap and ip settings.

There is a storage limitation of 2.8mb using the D1 Mini board

The User's Guide in the ps4 settings menu will be redirected to the main index.html

Installation is simple you just use the arduino ide to flash the sketch/firmware to the esp8266 board.

Make sure you set the flash size to 4M (3M SPIFFS)

• Next you connect to the wifi...

Since the Unity PS4 leak some Homebrew PS4 PKG releases have resulted thus far, with the latest being Strike Elite from Jyuce for PlayStation 4 Firmware 4.55 or above including 5.05.

To quote from his Tweet embedded below on the release: I am releasing my first PS4 homebrew game named "Strike Elite" for firmware 4.55 or above (works on 5.05). This FPS game was developed using unity3d. Special Thanks to @SnakePlissken and @LightningMods for support.
