App2USB / AppToUSB by Stooged: A Modification of PKG2USB for PS4

I will post this as a separate thread from the PS4 PKG2USB as the 2 payloads vary and it saves confusion.

Original Post: I was playing around with the ext0 mount and recreating the file structure that would be there if the pkg was installed to external storage.

There is a trick I found where if you copy the CUSAXXXXX folder from /user/app to /mnt/ext0/user/app and then unplug the hdd and plug it back in it causes the ps4 to do a repair and then the game is recognized as installed on external storage and from there there are other issues.

BUT with the great work SiSTRo has done in PKG2USB with the symlinks its a lot easier to manage with exfat and just normal USB.

So building on his PKG2USB and symlinks I modified what I was working on for the ext0 mount to work with the usb0 or usb1 and symlinks.

This payload searches the entire /user/app folder and copies all installed fpkg games to usb from the system drive and creates the symlinks like SiSTRo has kindly shown us the ability to do.

If you want to target a single game not the whole folder use PKG2USB.

If you install more games just run the payload again and it will copy any new games to the USB and so on.

With symlinks you are making a link to a directory so you want to pick which USB port to have the hdd on and keep it on that same port or the links will point to the wrong directory. USB0 is what I use.

Thanks again to SiSTRo, xVortex, Anonymous, CelesteBlue!

@dbsuarez
thanks for changelog, good idea.

@stooged thanks. So if you use a 1080P picture does it work?

@FFTHEWINNER

I have not tested the limitations but the pictures I used were all different sizes from google images and they were all scaled to fit.

you can just make a backup of the images on the usb and try the 1080p image and if it does not work then you can just restore the backup one.

finally a month and a half later my new 8tb drive arrived at work. I desperately have to clear out my internal drive because it is full tonight. One quick question - I currently access the exploit by going to the exploit web page. The ONLY way to use this app is to host the exploit locally from the pc right (or phone etc) correct? ((to bad it isn't on the web page:S would have made things soooo much easier))

Just in case that is the way to use this app can someone shoot me a link to all the needed bins to host locally (and playgrounds, i don't know what the playgrounds are etc?)

I will be moving all my internally installed games and their updates entirely to external so wish me luck

Thanks in advance - heading home from work to give this all a shot tonight

@stripnwild, I'm using PS4Serve2 by stooged for android, there are 5 bins already there and you can add app2usb.bin in the internal storage of the phone "PS4_455_PAYLOADS" directory.. I tried other online and offline exploit but this is the one the gives me 9 out of 10 success in sending payloads..

Can we modify icon0.png on the internal hdd by ftp in the folder user/app/cusaxxxxx/ ?

 

[seanp2500]

stripnwild please port make n model of drive n if success thx

 

[WarCoZes]

After search it's in user/appmeta/ that we modify icon0.png.

 

[DEFAULTDNB]

@stripnwild I have had it working converted to JS from a webpage since the BIN first came out. Just seems no one else has done it and added it to their sites for some reason.

If you need it its included in HERE.

 

[Lidor Baum]

@stripnwild if I get you right, you want it to run from the webpage like hen ftp update blocker etc.? You can download from github the js zip (not the bin) and extract it to - exploits-4.55-app2usb and then you see this in the webpage in the ps4
