PS4 External HDD Patch by Flatz and HEN 5.05 Updates by XVortex

Over the 4th of July holiday PlayStation 4 developer @flatz shared a 5.01 shellcore patch on Twitter allowing the PS4 FPKG installer to work with an external hard drive without any CE-41798-9 error codes, and shortly following zecoxao shared the related patch offsets for 4.55 and 5.05 OFW versions allowing @XVortex via Twitter to update the PS4 Homebrew Enabler PS4 HEN VTX for 5.05 Firmware with PS4 Exploit Host author @Al Azif on Twitter also updating his DNS HEN 1.7 and Mod Menus.

PlayStation 4 developer @stooged also shared some holiday updates with everyone in the form of PS4_Serve3 v2.0 and Cache Install v9 which add PS4HEN 1.7 allowing games to be installed to a PS4-formatted external HDD now alongside @pearlxcore who announced on Twitter that he's also updated his PlayStation exploit page at Pearlxcore.net as well as PS4.Editzz.net by EdiTzZ and a v1.7 update by Codsworth.

Below are several PlayStation 4 external HDD articles since support was added in PS4 OFW 4.50 with some related Tweets, as follows:

JAILBREAK PS4 5.05 HOW TO INSTALL FPKG TO EXTENDED STORAGE

• https://github.com/zecoxao/zecoxao.github.io

Content of extended Storage from PS4 6.xx can be read on PS4 5.05:

• Start hen v2.1
• Connect your USB drive
• At update message select later
• Go to Debug Settings \ External HDD \ Format version
• Replace 06000000 by 045000000

• Go back to Settings \ Devices \ Usb drive \ and select your USB drive
• Click on "use as extended Storage"
• Go back to XMB and let the system check all the disk (could be long depending of data size)

You can start game if you have license on your PS4 5.05
I forgot to say that games requiring 6.xx will not work on your 5.05 with this method

I can confirm it works if you copy your apptousb games to the PS4 external drive. Just did it yesterday, took like 6 hours for my 2 terabyte external to fill up. Everything plays, it's all good. Thanks for the update!

@pearlxcore
i found a a issue and was wondering how you would go about it, im using your exploit page via web with Hen 1.7 to utilize the external hdd that was formatted by ps4, everything works fine.

my problem is that i have ti use hen 1.7 to gety games to launch, but i use Al azif's pc exploit so i can get the "waiting for payload" message to sen ps4cheater payload.

has Al azif updated his exploit host yet? updated 23 days ago is what the git says.
thanX in advance

Rest mode is broken in this new 1.7 update. when trying to wake the system up, just black screen and I have to power off and then power on.

Thank you this makes things easier

 

[pearlxcore]

@barelynotlegal Sorry but what was your problem actually?

 

[barelynotlegal]

I found a fix but thanx. I can use hen 1.7/original exploit to get the send payload for PS4cheater to work. Thank you

@Howie648: How does it work to copy your apptousb games to the PS4 external drive? I think the PS4 drive can't be read on PC?

 

[barelynotlegal]

@pearlxcore is there a cache option or offline option for hen1.7 yet?
