Following the PS4 5.05 Kernel Exploit release, TheRadziu (aka @AluPL) shared a guide on dumping PS4 5.05 DLC, games, updates and PlayStation 4 themes.

To quote from TheRadziu on NGR with the details: Here is my attempt at dumping tutorial, especially that there are no DLC dumping tutorials, so here is the very first one :)

Game/Patch Dumping:

You'll need:

  • PS4 with 5.05 FW
  • USB HDD/Pendrive formatted as exFAT
  • Fake PKG Generator
  • vortex 5.05 Dumper (+gengp4)
1. Download latest 'ps4-dumper-vtx.zip' and extract it somewhere on PC, do the same with Fake PKG generator
2. (optional, but recommended) Connect your exFAT HDD/Pendrive to pc, from extracted dumper archive copy dumper.cfg (its in directory 'config') to the root of your pendrive/HDD. Now edit this file and change 'split' value from 3 to 0.
3. On the console run the game you want to dump, when it fully loads to main menu press PS button to minimalize it
4. Connect your HDD/Pendrive to the PS4
5. Run ps4 dumper on your PS4 using preferred way (either standalone (via html) or payload (via bin) - recommended ps4-exploit-host + standalone html)
NOTE: if you are using the standalone version of the dumper you'll need to keep the webpage open.
6. It'll start dumping the game + patch (into a single CUSAXXXXX-app directory, or CUSAXXXXX-app and CUSAXXXXX-patch if you didnt put dumper.cfg on the root of your USB or you did not edit 'split' value)
7. After dumping process is done your console will shut down, you can now disconnect USB from your PS4 and connect it to PC
8. Run genpg4.exe (its in gengp4 directory from ps4 dumper archive), now using this tool open CUSAXXXXX directory from your USB
9. Press 'Generate .GP4' and then 'Save .GP4', do the same with CUSAXXXXX-patch dir if you have one
10. Open orbis-pub-gen.exe (from Fake PKG Generator archive), click File -> open -> and select .GP4 file you just created
11. Press Command -> Project Setting -> Package tab, check if ContentID is correct & passcode is set to '00000000000000000000000000000000', now close that window
12. Press Command -> Build Image -> Set Output Path, this is where your fpkg will be saved
13. Press Build and wait till pkg is built, thats it, you just created fake pkg game/patch file you or someone else can install and use on their jailbroken PS4.

DLC Dumping (with Extra Data):

You'll need:

  • PS4 with 5.05 FW
  • FTP client on PC (for example FileZilla)
  • Fake PKG Generator
  • vortex 5.05 FTP server
1. Download latest 'ps4-ftp-vtx.zip' and extract it somewhere on PC, do the same with Fake PKG generator
2. On the console run the game you want to dump DLCs from, when it fully loads to main menu press PS button to minimalize it
3. Run ps4 ftp server on your PS4 using preferred way (either standalone (via html) or payload (via bin) - recommended ps4-exploit-host + standalone html)
NOTE: if you are using the standalone version of the ftp server you'll need to keep the webpage open.
4. On your PC connect to the PS4 using FTP client (IP_of_your_ps4:1337)
5. Navigate to '/mnt/sandbox/pfsmnt/'
6. Download directories that end with '-ac', those are decrypted DLC files (example -> '/mnt/sandbox/pfsmnt/EP0177-CUSA06211_00-DIVAFT39FUTURE00-ac')
7. Open orbis-pub-sfo.exe (from Fake PKG Generator archive), and then:
  • Change Category to '(PS4) Additional Content',
  • Set ContentID (for example 'EP0177-CUSA06211_00-DIVAFT39FUTURE00'),
  • Click Title Text on the left, set AC title (Default Language) to DLC's Name (for example 'Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Future Tone Future Sound')
  • Press File -> Save and save it in your DLC's directory, in sce_sys subdirectory as param.sfo (for example: 'EP0177-CUSA06211_00-DIVAFT39FUTURE00-ac/sce_sys/param.sfo')
8. Open orbis -pub-gen.exe (from Fake PKG Generator archive), click File -> New Project -> Additional Content Package with Extra Data
9. Double click on Image0, when it opens drop contents of your DLC directory inside (sce_sys directory + anything else (files or directories) it has)
10. Close this window, now press Commands -> Project settings -> Package tab, set contentID (for example: EP0177-CUSA06211_00-DIVAFT39FUTURE00) and set passcode to '00000000000000000000000000000000', make sure entitlement key is also set to '00000000000000000000000000000000'
11. Press Command -> Build Image -> Set Output Path, this is where your fpkg will be saved,
12. Press Build and wait till pkg is built, thats it, you just created fake pkg DLC file you or someone else can install and use on their jailbroken PS4.

DLC Dumping (without Extra Data - DLC unlocks):

You'll need:

NOTE: ContentIDs can be obtained from PlayStation Store Webpage, after you find the certain DLC its full contentid will be in store item's URL. Additionally, you can confirm its DLC unlock by checking Size information on the left side (under PEGI rating/Genre). If its missing its most likely unlock DLC.

Another way to obtain those is to use PSDLE web browser extension. Unlock DLCs DO NOT HAVE pkg links to them and also it will give you exact contentid for the items that do not have their store pages (for example delisted DLCs, promo DLCs or Preorder DLCs).

Easy Method:

1. Download this python3 script to you Fake PKG Generator's directory: ez_fake_dlc.py
2. Run it through CMD with DLC contentid and DLC name as parameters, for example: ez_fake_dlc.py EP9000-CUSA04943_00-ACEUCROWXXXXXXXX "Gravity Rush 2: The Ark of Time - Raven's Choice"
3. fPKG Unlock DLC file(s) will be created in 'fake_dlc_pkg' directory.

Manual method:

1. Open orbis -pub-sfo.exe (from Fake PKG Generator archive), and then:
  • Change Category to '(PS4) Additional Content',
  • Set ContentID (for example 'UP9000-CUSA03694_00-ACUSCROWXXXXXXXX'),
  • Click Title Text on the left, set AC title (Default Language) to DLC's Name (for example 'Gravity Rush 2: The Ark of Time - Raven's Choice'),
  • Press File -> Save and save it in somewhere, in sce_sys subdirectory as param.sfo (for example: 'DLC_unlock/sce_sys/param.sfo')
2. Open orbis -pub-gen.exe (from Fake PKG Generator archive), click File -> New Project -> Additional Content Package without Extra Data
3. Double click on Image0, when it opens drop sce_sys directory with param.sfo you just created inside,
4. Close this window, now press Commands -> Project settings -> Package tab, set contentID (for example: UP9000-CUSA03694_00-ACUSCROWXXXXXXXX) and set passcode to '00000000000000000000000000000000', make sure entitlement key is also set to '00000000000000000000000000000000'
5. Press Command -> Build Image -> Set Output Path, this is where your fpkg will be saved,
6. Press Build and wait till pkg is built, thats it, you just created fake pkg DLC unlock file you or someone else can install and use on their jailbroken PS4.

Themes dumping:

You'll need:

  • PS4 with 5.05 FW
  • FTP client on PC (for example FileZilla)
  • Fake PKG Generator
  • vortex 5.05 FTP server
Similar steps to DLC dumping, but downloading the CUSAXXXXX dir that doesnt match basegame, and creating param.sfo & pkg as System Theme.

NOTE: Dumped themes are as iffy as custom themes.

1. Download latest 'ps4- ftp -vtx.zip' and extract it somewhere on PC, do the same with Fake PKG generator,
2. On the console select/use/enable the theme you want to dump
3. Run ps4 ftp server on your PS4 using preferred way (either standalone (via html ) or payload (via bin) - recommended ps4-exploit-host + standalone html )
NOTE: if you are using the standalone version of the ftp server you'll need to keep the webpage open.
4. On your PC connect to the PS4 using FTP client (IP_of_your_ps4:1337)
5. Navigate to `/mnt/sandbox/ pfsmnt /'
6. Download the single directory that ends with '-ac' (example -> '/mnt/sandbox/pfsmnt/EP0002-CUSA07399_00-CRASHNSANETHEME5-ac')
7. Open orbis -pub-sfo.exe (from Fake PKG Generator archive), and then:
  • Change Category to '(PS4) System Software Theme',
  • Set ContentID (for example 'EP0002-CUSA07399_00-CRASHNSANETHEME5'),
  • Click Title Text on the left, set Theme title (Default Language) to Theme's Name (for example 'Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy Free Theme'), and Theme Provider to anything (for example: Activision)
  • Press File -> Save and save it in your Theme's directory, in sce_sys subdirectory as param.sfo (for example: 'EP0002-CUSA07399_00-CRASHNSANETHEME5-ac/sce_sys/param.sfo')
8. Open orbis -pub-gen.exe (from Fake PKG Generator archive), click File -> New Project -> System Software Theme Package,
9. Double click on Image0, when it opens drop contents of your Theme's directory inside (sce_sys directory + anything else (files or directories) it has)
10. Close this window, now press Commands -> Project settings -> Package tab, set contentID (for example: EP0002-CUSA07399_00-CRASHNSANETHEME5) and set passcode to '00000000000000000000000000000000',
11. Press Command -> Build Image -> Set Output Path, this is where your fpkg will be saved,
12. Press Build and wait till pkg is built, thats it, you just created fake pkg Theme file you or someone else can install and use on their jailbroken PS4.

How to Install Older PS4 Game Updates on Any PS4 7.02/7.50
Fake DLCs made with ez_fake_dlc.py still work fine for newer (6.72) games, as long as they are 128kb DLC unlocks, as an example here goes all DLC pack for European JUMP FORCE :)

Download: CUSA11638_JUMP_FORCE_ALL_DLC.zip (61.4 KB)
Only preorder DLC might be faked, but the rest of the DLCs are data DLCs. Idk about other releases, but CUSA11993 and CUSA11995 have all DLCs already dumped and public :)
ez_fake_dlc.py is now updated to version 2.0 !!

Changelog:
  • It now uses PkgTool (from LibOrbisPkg)
  • Fixed '-' under 'OPTIONS -> Information -> Installed Add-Ons'
  • It now shows proper icon & name for each DLC
  • Added full PSS URL support

Dumping PS4 5.05 DLC, Games, Updates & Themes Guide by TheRadziu.jpg
 

Comments

Quick question.

I have a installed retail/purchased copy of Gundam Vs, which is on base Game update 1.00.

Can I manually download and install the current Game update 1.13 which states for version Firmware 5.50?, without updating my PS4 to 5.50.

Also there is also Delta Patch files. Does anyone know what these files are used for?, are you meant to also install them before/after the updates?.

Ta
 
@Duppex No, but you'll be able to install an update that requires max 5.05 FW.

I'm not sure about delta Patch files, sometimes they link to the same file as full patch, but In general they might be only latest update files while regular update contains also all previous updates.
 
2. (optional, but recommended) Connect your exFAT HDD/Pendrive to pc, from extracted dumper archive copy dumper.cfg (its in directory 'config') to the root of your pendrive/HDD. Now edit this file and change 'split' value from 3 to 0.

plz some one explain
 
@AluPL: This is the log and errors I keep getting while trying to make a Fake PKG using the generator:

Spoiler

The Minecraft app came out with the file name:
UP4433-CUSA00744_00-MINECRAFTPS40000-A0100-V0102

And the Minecraft Update I want to save is called:
UP4433-CUSA00744_00-MINECRAFTPS40000-A0148-V0101.pkg

In CUSA00744-patch.gp4 there is a line that says:
app_path="UP4433-CUSA00744_00-MINECRAFTPS40000-A0100-V0100.pkg"
which I think is what is causing the trouble. What have I done wrong, and what can I do to fix it?

Also despite the odd Version and App numbers, the update seems to work just fine when installed over the retail install.

Well seems like I figured it out, and made my first DLC unlocker and I can confirm it works! I had to do it the manual way though. The fast way, what do you mean by "Run it through CMD" ??
 
Thanks for the great guide, @AluPL can you help me dump games installed inside the extendend memory? the dumper works but the output folder is missing param.sfo and maybe other files so i can't make a fpkg.

I can "fix" it by moving the game from extended memory to internal memory before running the dumper but it takes a lot of time as i have a 500gb internal disk and a 4gb external one where all the games are installed.
 
i want to try to dump the dlcs from one of my games but the data of the dlc comes from an update how can i dump the files to share the dlc activation? the official file that unlocks the dlcs is around 1mb and i dont see any directories with -ac ....
 
@Barquillo this is something I would like to know as well. I think the official file that unlocks DLC is 128kb. Anything over 1mb will have the DLC data. I’ve tested this on a few games. Your right that updates can include DLC data.
