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:

Do you think a new method or bypass will be made or not likely?

I'd also be interested to know exactly what Sony changed to patch / block the gamesharing. :geek:
 
i dont think it will be possible now to do the same method but no doubt they will be many other highly expensive ways for the same result... people want heavy money for things nowdays when the method is private they are prob using the certain numbers within each game for users ..and if users/ games each have same numbers then sony will know user has not bought them
 
This is whether a good news or bad ....It does not matter

People already buy that crap....and some people purchased lot of games on psn all lost ....this is not good

So please friends i already learnt the lesson of buying ....true blue dongle on ps3 .....

I know that gonna happen ....again on ps4 ....

Be patient ....for proper cfw

I urge to all my friends never waste the money on crap like mtx chip ....again in future....

Use physical discs to save money ....in friends circle...sharing is caring

Can I ask is there cfw in the private groups or whatever? if not its best to say the ps4/XOne scene is cursed and we will only dream of cfw..... because I would understand if the devs are holding out on cfw till they feel the time is right to release or all the hackers from the previous gen grew old... the mtx chip gave me hope atleast something was done to piss Sony off.....
 
Well that was quick.

What happens if you dl'ed all the games and keep the system offline? Or do they have always on DRM?

Either way this was a crap method. We all know a CFW is possible except devs are scared to release anything.
