PS4 Remote Play PSN Sign-in Bypass Guide by Yifan Lu

Last week reported on a PS Vita Netcheck Bypass, and today PlayStation 4 developer Yifan Lu shared a PS4 Remote Play PSN sign-in bypass guide for use with their taiHENkaku HENkaku taiHEN CFW framework.

To quote from Yifan Lu on his tutorial: PS4 Remote Play Without PSN Sign-in

Remote Play requires a PSN sign-in at some point because when you sign-in to PSN, your online ID gets cached (along with your avatar image URL and banner image URL). The online id is required to link (make sure the same PSN account/online ID is used on both your Vita and PS4).

If you logged in to PSN in the past (before PSN spoofing was disabled by Sony), then this cached info is already on your Vita. However, if you formatted your Vita after PSN spoofing was disabled OR you purchased your Vita after spoofing was disabled, then you need to manually create this cache file. This guide will lead you through in doing that.

Creating the Online ID Cache

• Make sure your Vita is linked to your PSN account. You do not have to be activated! To ensure you are linked, restore your Vita (do NOT format your memory card unless you want to lose everything). Once you get to the welcome screen, select that you already have a PSN account and type in the information. If you remember doing this when you last went through the setup, you do not have to do it again.
• Download and open up a hex editor. Create a new file and fill it with 328 bytes of 00. To help, you can copy the following:

00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

• REPLACE the first N bytes of the file with your PSN online ID (the same one tied to your PSN account!) where N is the length of the name. For example, if my PSN online id was "MyAccountName" then N would be 13 and the hex would be:

4D 79 41 63 63 6F 75 6E 74 4E 61 6D 65 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

Make sure the file is still 328 bytes!

• Save the file as myprofile.dat
• Enable HENkaku if you haven't already. With VitaShell/molecularShell, copy the file to ur0:user/00/np/myprofile.dat. If any directory doesn't exist, create it.
• Reboot your Vita and you can now use PS4 Link

(Request: Someone should make this into a Vita homebrew app so it won't be as complicated.)

Using PS4 Link

When you use PS4 link, the Vita will attempt to log-in to PSN and prompt you to update. If you cancel out, then it will still work. If you don't want to be annoyed by the prompt again, you can install https://github.com/yifanlu/netcheck_bypass.

Finally, from tromie comes Profile_Gen to generate myprofile.dat files on PS Vita's running 3.60 to enable PS4 remote play.

Download: Profile Gen (Linux / MacOS / Windows Latest Version) / profile_gen-master.zip / GIT

Update: PS4 ReLink Homebrew for PS Vita to Change Online ID is now available which automates the linking process.

(Excuse my ignorance) But is there anyway to do the same for PS4, using a ps4 that's previously been activated for the activation files and then changing the psn I'd connected to it ? Similar to the PS3 app that allowed for psn activation for DLC games?

Again apologies for my ignorance !

 

[lindow]

if there is something like web browser enable bypass sign in psn account apply to remote play??

 

[Diavolar]

Guys with a lighted mind can help?!?!
Any idea how to connect remote play in lan to a laptop without psn FW 4.55 never connected to psn??

Something like that!

 

[WuEpE]

that video is from 2016. Without updating the PS4 you will not be able to access psn and activate the remote connection

 

[Diavolar]

I'm looking for a method of creating a fake user to put it in my console

someone who knows full ftp who is thirsty now or who had a 4.55 connected to remote play to import profiles / user.bat which will connect only in the local network with remote play

 

[WuEpE]

I in PS3, if I backup the hard disk, with the account activated, when I restored the copy, I had to reconnect to the PSN so that the console will activate, in PS4 I suppose it will be the same.

You can not use the user of another PS4, it is encrypted and it would not work, you should also play the PS4 record and it is also encrypted, something you play and PS4 does not like, it can generate a brick.

 

[Diavolar]

Thanks for the reply I still hope for a "miracle"

I like to play at keyboard and the easiest option was remote play

 

[sachinnwl]

The psvita already has a homebrew to change the psn id
But the main issue is alot of us with 4.55 have a non activated ps4
So we dont have psn ids on ps4
Hence it is currently impossible to remote play
Unless a similar homebrew is developed for the ps4
So we can put in a psn id for the ps4

 

[WuEpE]

In PSVita the scene is advanced. in PS4, the registry editor is read only, the data is encrypted and without passcode if you change something you have a brick. It is not so easy on PS4, if not already, we are very much waiting for a bypass or access to psn to let activate that option. patience.
