Following the PS4 4.05 UART Enabler, his PS4 kernel dumping hardware project and the recent LibFTPS4 Fix PlayStation 4 developer @Mistawes shared FTPS4 on Twitter this weekend which currently offers root FTP with Debug Settings and UART output.

In related news today BigBoss announced that the Hitodama *** WIP ELF are back on 4.05 with initial work done by Zer0xFF.

@Fimo points out from a recent PSXDev Github commit that a 4.05 ELF Loader is currently in the works from PS4Link with support being added proceeding the 4.05 Kernel Exploit release last month.

As a result, it likely won't be long before the PlayStation 4 scene...

As promised, following his 4.55 Custom / Repacked PS4 Package (PKG) Files demo video and recent updates today PlayStation 4 developer @flatz made available on Twitter his method to handle PS4 Fake PKGs and SELF / FSELF write-up so that PS4 Scene developers can backport and make use of it with the recent 4.05 Kernel Exploit and 4.05 Game Dumps!

Overview

My original intent was to implement a minimalistic strategy that could lead to running stuff like fselfs and debug pkgs. I don't like methods that do a lot of patching and involve a lot of manual work, so I prefer to use built-in functionality whenever possible. While the result is not as minimalistic, it is effective. As I've said multiple times, this stuff can be ported to any firmware.

So here's the problems we have:

1. Executable files including SELFs/SPRXs/SEXEs/SDLLs are signed and encrypted. While their fake versions are not signed and encrypted, we usually can't use them on a retail console due to restrictions that are put in place by the auth manager that loads them (a secure module, or SM, that is running by SAMU, a secure co-processor that is embedded into our AMD's APU). The (S)ELF loader from the kernel use SAMU calls for everything crypto-related...

On this snowy weekend PlayStation 4 developers are keeping the 4.05 PS4 Scene fire burning with a DumpFile405 PS4 4.05 File Decrypter based off original code from wskeu and following his 1.01 Port to decrypt usermodules by VVildCard777 alongside a significant bug fix in libftps4 from IDC.
