3. Added - Vortex Hen + VR
4. Added - BO3 Online
5. Added - DB Restore v2.0 and DB Restore UNDO v2.0

Set up instructions - (nodeMCU pyFlasher 3.0)

1. Download latest from here: https://github.com/marcelstoer/nodemcu-pyflasher/releases
   
   
2. Install, then Run
   
   
3. Plug in your ESP board. You can hold down flash button as you plug it in but its not needed with this program
   
   
4. Choose correct com port, browse location for wherever you put the "bin" files you download from here and select. Firmware_only.bin is just the admin firmware, after installing you can log in and via browser on your device upload any files (self host) you want. Complete.bin installs the firmware AND the KM.Z Exploit (you can always delete the files later and or add to them)
   
   
5. Set baud rate to: 115200, Flashmode to: Dual I/O (DIO), and "yes, wipe all data", then press "flash nodeMCU" this ONLY flashes the main firmware/sketch to the ESP. When its done it will say so. unplug the ESP then plug it to any powered usb source (even the ps4), after plugging it in, press and hold "reset" on the esp for like 3 seconds, let go and wait a few seconds.
   
   
6. Use any wifi device with browser , log into the ESP using credentials at top of this page, then in device's browser type: "http://10.1.1.1/admin.html" without quotes, you should see the admin page of the ESP.
   
   
7. If you uploaded the "complete.bin" go to "main page" and the exploit should load. If you only did firmware, then it will have a plain payloads page loaded until you up load proper files using the file manager.

How to use once fully flashed

1. Plug ESP to ANY usb power sorce (doesn't have to be PS4), go to network, set up internet connect, custom, PS4_KMZ_ESP, password is password , set everything to automatic. Done, go to user guide and the 5.05 exploit's playground main index page should open if you used the "complete.bin" or if you've upload your own self host files proper.
   
   
2. After you run Vortex HEN once, your browser will be permanently enabled. I also suggest you run "update blocker". At this point you should reboot ps4.

If after reboot you don't see browser on home screen, go to the "library" section of the ps4 on main screen all the way to the right, look for the browser and start it, close it , it should now be on your home screen from now on.

Also to access the exploit once browser is enabled, just type http://10.1.1.1 (or ANY address) and the browser will always default to your ESP Exploit index page. Of course this is only when the ps4 is connected to the esp via WIFI. You can now bookmark that page

Whenever you run the admin option from the ps4 many options will not function and just kick back errors BUT you can change the "config editor" from the ps4, changes will happen immediately though!

You can access the "admin" of your ESP from any browser as long as that device is connected via wifi to the ESP. You can type 10.1.1.1/admin.html or just 10.1.1.1 (or ANY site) on the browser then pick the Admin panel from the exploit.

When on the PS4 if you are running ADMIN I would suggest BEFORE you run a payload or exploit , that you do it from the MAIN Exploit's Playground Index page and NOT from the Admin's "main page" located in the little upper left window. Exploits should still work fine but it may cause less of a problem that way.

Many thanks to ALL devs involved in all PS4 projects and Stooged and KiiWii in particular!

ESP8266 Version (latest):

 

[Zoilus]

Updated to v3.1 thanks to @Leeful for testing, finding issues, correcting and supplying the new fixed GTA menus.

@cronocardoso I don't think I will being doing the cache thing right now. Time constraints. To use the ESP, simply choose wifi, then choose custom, Sign into the ESP, then pick the TOP (first) selection for each option until the end when it asks "do you want to test internet connection" that part is optional. then go to the user guide. There is no need to change anything in your DNS with this. The instructions are in the github page, with more detail.

@SirSilvan83 - lol its ok it happens and yeah , GTA stuff is only for full host version , sorry.

 

[Sultanpepper]

Thank you @Zoilus

 

[PuffinMan]

@Zoilus thank you bro you've made it easy for us to use the exploit. Self hosting an exploit = peace of mind Great work bud!!

@Zoilus Your DB & SG Backup is still broken in this latest version mate. I reported this problem over a month ago concerning the constant spinning logo and never loads. The same issues occur with your latest PS4_KMZ_ESP8266_v2.7_Complete release... have not fixed the constant spinning issue. Hopefully you can fix this as it is 100% a problem.

For people wanting to fix the DB&SG Backup not loading spinning constant problems in @Zoilus PS4_KMZ_ESP8266_v2.7_Complete release , I did a MacGyver fix , All you need to do is Download Stooges latest V3 release:

DB_SG_Backup_html.zip

Rename the file to: DBSG.html

Now login to your PS4_KMZ_ESP8266 wi-fi module via PC browser http://10.1.1.1/admin.html and delete the file DBSG.html and replace with the working file you just downloaded and renamed.

Now reboot the ESP and you now have a working DB&SG Backup V3

Just to add... Do not forget to extract .rar downloaded file and then just rename.

Best Regards,

@Zoilus, thank you for this very nice playground. Had one question, I recently purchased a ESP32 vs. reading up thoroughly that most of these projects are tailored for the ESP8266 devices.

What would happen if this were compiled and flashed onto the ESP32 device? If this would be a total fail, how difficult would it be to convert/port to ESP32? Sorry if this has already been asked else where on the board. Cheers !

 

[FoxBob]

@wookie39 and @Zoilus
I have also an ESP32 Device lying around here... It would be nice to use it, but dont dare to flash the ESP8266 version on my ESP32.

 

[DEFAULTDNB]

I’m sure there a straight forward way to convert to EP32 using arduino IDE boards manager and the correct EP32 plugin?

 

[liam69]

what is the difference DB Restore v2.0 and DB Restore UNDO v2.0

 

[wookie39]

@DEFAULTDNB , yeah not sure if there's way to do that. I'll do some research on this topic and report back if I find anything. Hope there is a way to do this as I'm stoked to try this playground out as it's awesome looking !! Peace.
