Had to out and buy shady console just to get under the 7.0's. Glad I'm here, looks like everyone enjoys what they do.

He meant the 'translation' sarcastically not literally.

Does anyone know where to download the firmware for ps4 8.01 reinstallation? I can't find it anywhere, I need to change the HDD of my ps4. Thank you.

It's linked HERE under 'Recovery Firmwares' but make sure the MD5 (25a82d320bea36974b1e7fb189c4c0c5) matches using MD5 Checker v2.31 or a similar app once the download completes, if you have any issues let me know and I'll add a new mirror to the OP.
