Changes

  • Auto update the pppwn_cpp exploit binary at device boot (if internet available)
  • PS4 can access internet if Pi is connected to WiFi and only after successful Jailbreak
  • No need to restart Pi if Re-Jailbreaking after PS4 was shutdown/restarted (PS4 must have stayed off for at least 30 seconds)
  • Better handling of exception when PS4 crashes during exploit
  • Handle if exploit halts or hangs

Instructions

PS4 Setup

  • Go to Settings and then Network
  • Select Set Up Internet connection and choose Use a LAN Cable
  • Choose Custom setup and choose PPPoE for IP Address Settings
  • Enter ps4 for both PPPoE User ID and PPPoE Password
  • Choose Automatic for DNS Settings and MTU Settings
  • Choose Do Not Use for Proxy Server

Pi Setup

  1. Download and burn image onto a 2GB or larger micro SD card
  2. If exploiting FW 9.00, navigate to the boot drive on the SD card and change contents of pppwn-cpp.txt to 900
  3. Insert the micro SD card into a Raspberry Pi
  4. Optional - Connect the Pi to your WiFi (easiest using sudo raspi-config). Then power if off.
  5. Download and extract SiSTR0's GoldHEN
  6. Copy goldhen.bin to the root of an exFAT formatted USB drive
  7. Plug the USB Drive into a USB port on your PS4
  8. Connect the Pi to your PS4 via an Ethernet cable and power on both devices.
  9. Wait for notifications confirming GoldHEN was loaded. This should happen within 2-3 minutes depending on how many attempts are required for that instance. If nothing happens within 5 minutes of boot up, I recommend restarting both the Raspberry Pi and the PS4.

Notes

  • This Jailbreak is for PS4 running software versions 9.00 and 11.00 only
  • Tested on Raspberry Pi 3 Model B
  • If you followed step 4 above, your PS4 will have internet access which may result in your PS4 updating it's system software. You have been warned.
  • After the first successful load of GoldHEN, you do not need to repeat steps 5 through 7 for subsequent runs on the same PS4
