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

Is there a NodeMCU download for the latest update?

Just curious as to how I got HEN 1.7 installed when I used al azif method on the web browser, as just seconds before that, when i clicked on [cache] to download a new cache (I didn't even know there was a new HEN, I just click that once in a while to see if it needs a refresh) it just said no update available.

Kinda weird that HEN 1.6 didn't get installed as I thought it would have downloaded what was cached (which should have been 1.6)

Just curious , it works well of course haha
