Why's there no proper install instructions with this? How exactly do we install it?

Used HENVTX via Al-azif's Exploit Host (wifi) and it works great, i still encountered a few memory errors, but after 3 or 4 tries, it did it's job as advertised, just to be sure, i fully turned off my PS4 again and tried it for the second time and boom, profit as usual, thanks so much @XVortex for a job well done

I'm still pretty new at this, so when HEN is loaded and running, i can turn off the Host Exploit in my PC right?

Also i dunno if it's related, installing PKG's specially the big ones like Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy resulted in error, i just tried it again and for the 3rd time, it installed properly, i read up on some of the issues others encountered as well and using 1 PKG at a time makes the difference cause i packed all my PKG's in my exFAT external HDD and used "Install All", Crash N.Sane Trilogy and The Last Guardian were the ones that error'd yet i still managed to install them by just retrying (no PS4 reboot, no hen reloading and such)

The xvortex HEN has been more stable for me. I wasn't able to use DB Backup payload and then Holy Grail in one boot (freezes). I can now use DB Backup, then load up xvortex HEN right after without freezing. Rest Mode also retains the exploit and payload, just like Holy Grail.

Is there a Way you Can make The PS4 autoload til payload for debug menu??

So that you dont have to load The payload Every time The PS4 starts up

And second: Does anyone know How to ftp games over to The PS4?

Which library and so on

A video or step by step guide

Thanks to all devs for your hard work

I have ordered a original ps4 and it will reach me by 10
So, should i update it to 4.05 and jailbreak or 4.55 and then jailbreak
Any help is appreciated as its my first jailbreak

@Sujit

Doesn't matter really, most of the games work on either 4.05 or 4.55.

i saw this commit in https://github.com/VV1LD/PS4HEN

it say "added fw version spoofer" in this link:
https://github.com/VV1LD/PS4HEN/commit/b9d234282416d5b61eb434d17df5d1992f126fd0

this is the code :

+     //kern_sdk_vesion spoofer from lightning mods :)
+    *(uint32_t *)(kernel_base + 0x144B600) = 0x5050001;

so can we go online with this spoof or what????
