Since Sony's last update we saw the E3 Share and PS4Kit clones to the MTX Key ModChip for gamesharing, and today Sony has once again updated the PlayStation 4 Official Firmware to version 4.73 bringing the most stable OFW to date! :giggle:

While PS4 scene developers examine it to see what was changed and patched, some may want to give the PSProxy Bypass a try as it often works for a few days during Firmware transitions when the Passphrase changes.

:stop: Update: Reports of confirmations are coming in that MTX Key is blocked in PS4 Firmware 4.73, currently we're awaiting additional confirmations so if you update and try it let us know your results in the comments thanks!

Update #2: More reports are confirming with video proof Sony has blocked the MTX Key ModChip, gamesharing method and issuing bans on some PS4 consoles... more to come as it's available!

Update #3: Despite a contrary video, both the MTX Key and clones of it have been confirmed to be disabled by most rendering yet another for-profit device useless for the time being with more PSN account bans being reported! :stop:

Finally, PlayStation 4 hacker qwertyoruiop recently stated the following on Reddit, to quote:

"My 4.5x webkit works fine on 4.7x (unchanged, even!). It is. 4.06 has both a public webkit and a private working kernel exploit. My kernel exploit doesn't work on 4.70. bug is there, but exploit technique was killed :("

Cheers to @defense, @moodyjohn, @MrNiato, @UmarDaBest559, @xxdylanxx45 and @xxmcvapourxx for the news tips and be sure to check the PSXHAX Shoutbox Message Of The Day (MOTD) for the latest PS4 MEME's that Sony would whine about if we posted them elsewhere. :sneaky:

Even if it had do that, sony will block this sh1t !!! if some people (e3...ps4kit) can do clone of this sony can correctly understand how it work and patch it !!
 
he promised to share with community too, it will be nice if sony sue him. He sold method and made damage to sony. We can be witnesses. He wrote a lot here.

Maybe we should ban this stupid piece of crap here. He made only damage to the scene
 
Pedro i'm from Brazil too man, i can tell u keep working because you only update the console fw after you tricked accounts on console, and just to complete if you keep your console connected you will got padlocks in a week or less.

The discussion by here is, no one can't trick console in 4.73 fw that is the point.

I speak English with you just to keep the forum rules
 
after 4.50 update, it doesn't take a week. less than 24 hrs. if someone knows the links to block the the licence check then we can at least keep games on already hacked consoles.
as you can see in the video. my console is not even connected to internet. so it just took them few mins to block all my games.

the only time when it was online was when i was updating.
 
Both the MTX Key and clones have been confirmed as being disabled in 4.73, although a few report theirs is still working so hopefully we'll figure out the reason. ;)

Also to clarify for those following, freeplex is the guy who's device got ripped off by the cloners, and as a result he contacted Sony about the method used.

The guy who claimed he would share the Gerbers and related source files from the modchip is longtime scener GaryEdmunds... hopefully he'll follow through and deliver for learning purposes if nothing else. :)
