PlayStation 4 DevKit Activation Guide & PS4 DevKit NEO Downgrading with DevKit PUP
A few days ago we reported on PS4 DevKit / TestKit Settings for developers, and since the PS4 Retail / Debug Game Transfusion Guide PlayStation 4 developer ZiL0G80 spotted some code of interest in the TMServer-3_50_0_55.msi file of the PS4 *** Leak that (similar to PS Vita) may allow the activation of PS4 DevKits by unlicensed developers through 2020 following the PS4 DevKit Activation Tutorial by Jerry Yin below. :LOL:

Here are the related Tweets:

PS4 Retail / Debug Game Transfusion Guide, TestKit Trophies Working
We've seen Minecraft PS4 Edition and The Playroom running on a PS4 DevKit / TestKit and today PlayStation 4 developer @zecoxao with help from Charles and user1 shared a guide on PS4 1.76 Retail / Debug Game Transfusion with savegames and trophies working and some new demo videos below! ;-)

To quote from zecoxao: Retail <-> Debug Game Transfusion Tutorial

This tutorial would not be possible without the help of my friend Charles. Thank you Charles, for making this possible :)

You will need:
  • A retail PS4 on 1.76 FW
  • A testkit or devkit on 1.76 fw, pre-activated (i will not go through details about the activation)
  • A game you wish to backup (disc or psn, as long as it's activated on psn)
  • hitodama's ps4sdk
  • DumpFile modified to decrypt the game's binaries (again, you're on your own)
  • An ftp payload to dump the files from app0
  • Knowledge about the previous tutorials i wrote, namely pfs bypass and decrypt games
  • (Optional) The game's icons (you'll need the original pkg for this and @flatz's awesome python...

Guide to Dump PlayStation 4 Disc Games on PS4 Console by eXtreme
Previously we linked several guides for Dumping PS4 PKG Files, and with Select PC Drives outlined HERE people have been dumping (minus decrypting) PS4 games since late 2013... but if you have a 1.76 OFW console you can also dump disc-based games from the PlayStation 4 itself thanks to a brief guide from e✘treme-Modding.de alongside some DiscDump 50X Payloads that copy the disc content to a USB HDD! :veryhappy:

To quote, roughly translated: Dump Disc Games on PS4 1.76

Since not every drive reads PS4 disc games, there is the possibility to read the content via the PS4.

1. Insert the PlayStation 4 game disc
2. Open the game and create an FTP connection
3. The contents of the disc are located under / mnt / disc

:stop: To copy the files, the game must remain open. The original size of the app.pkg is not displayed during the transfer.
