hi, brother so when will we get the ps 4 10.50 jailbreak without all of this difficult stuff
@@muhammadalihusnainnawab2331 not anytime soon
however I have a question if I am in 5.05 that I create a dump then that I pass in 9.00 that I also create a dump to finally put the last version can I go back to all the previous versions save on my pc or only the inactive version
Insane amount of work you put in to this video.
Just realized we can tip. Big thanks to modded warfare for everything he has done!
How to do that?
@@DavidJohnShewsburyik im late but im not sure how to on web but on mobile its the bottom right in the comment section
Thanks for the generous donation!
@MODDEDWARFARE is there a way to do this from firmware 11.00 to 9.00 ?? 🤔🤔🤔
17:16
The animation for the points is a lovely touch. Another amazing video tutorial thank you for going in depth everytime.
I literally was just watching videos about FW downgrade options and was considering the teensy board option. Got back to subscribed section and this video got uploaded like 5min ago. What a timing.
So much tech and knowledge behind this. I'm amazed. Well done!
Thanks for the video. The most important thing here is the a and b slot logic. So the previous backup version is very important. Because the backup logic of PS4 offers us this choice.
Been waiting for this tutorial. Thanks a lot. 🎉
Great tutorial. I love the part where you kept saying "2 dumps" and "Comparing both dumps". Classic.
Bro youre always coming out with these work arounds thank you
I was waiting for a guide like this to revert a ps4 pro. Thanks!!!
YAY It's here!! Thank you so much! Have been impatiently waiting for this and so happy it's here!
NO
I'm hoping to see all these things go further. I am amazed. Amazed at what JB 4 can do!
Very complete tutorial, thank you very much for sharing.
best feature for the ps4 modding love the work from the hard working devs bringing us GODLY software❤
Solid work mate, well done.
Massive amount of work there John. I appreciate your work and the many hours you would have to have spent getting this up. I don't know how you made time to do any dumps.
Truly an electronic data stream genius at work here 🙂
Fantastic work-around for the broken pin. Top points for MacGuyver-ing your way out of that predicament. Thanks, Modded Warfare, for yet another fully detailed tutorial. I have a 9.03 console which I am about to take apart to check if the chips are compatible for the Teensy++ revert.
Did it work?
@@sergiopedro1980
Yes. It is shown in the video.
@@sergiopedro1980
Modded warfare doesn't post fake information. If there is anything claimed on this channel, you can rest assured that it has been thoroughly researched and tested.
@@josephcepi5510 I think he was asking if your attempt at the revert worked
@@bpw Yes, sorry. I checked my console internals to make sure that the console is compatible (which it is) but have not been able to acquire a Teensy++. This is a "rainy day" project that hasn't happened yet. I am 99.99% certain that if MW posts information, you can bank on it being true and accurate.
i dont even have a ps4 now but still watch these videos 😃
EXCELLENT MATE !! keep the tutorials coming
Thanks for all the effort. That is not easy but gives hope that some day we'll get it.
Amazing work dude, nicely explained
OMG this is the BEST tutorial!!!
Rock and roll!!!!
Always!!
You are the best teacher adviser and more.
Greeting's from HAYWARDS HEATH ❤
What a time to be alive!
I apreciate you very much man ! Amazing work , i would never try to do it. I am great at any type of welding but i cannot solder for the life of me. Keep up the good work , it was a very interesting video to watch.
Thank you for this clear and concise instructions!
This wild 50 min vid nice very good tutorial
Awesome! thank for for the tutorial!
Good tutorial keep doing the good work 👍👍👍
Even though this tutorial is to hard for me
THANKS. this dude knows his stuff.. Thanks for all you do for the PS4 scene. Your time is much appreciated..
What I did is checked out my firmware on the PS4 noticed that it was 7.55 and then I made a direct clone of my one terabyte HDD to a 1terabyte Crucial mx SSD using a machine called wavelink (no computer necessary). Then I took the cloned SSD and put it into my PS4. Worked like a charm. Now I have An HDD back up of firmware 7.55 so for anything goes wrong with my SSD I can just re copy. Pain in the butt at least I have a copy. The wave link machine can be purchased off of Amazon and it's the easiest way to make a one to one clone using no computer.
Cloning the HDD won’t help you get back to your previous firmware if it gets updated.
Si se actualiza la PS4 , si le metes El disco duro donde 7.55 te dira inicializar la PS4
@@tomclancy3096 I don't understand you. If you put old PS4 drive into updated console, then what happerns?
@@krzysyekps4 safemode
Thank you for the very detailed instructions!
If somebody is able to solder a couple of wires to the MB, it's now possible to backup the chips! 👍
sadly I am unable to because I have a medical condition that makes it impossible for me to solder anything remotely precisely, like I can barely work on RC planes despite the fact that I was taught by my dad who had been doing that kind of shit for longer than I have been alive...
Awesome work that's a lot of work😮, Thx man that helped me out, since the PS4 is not really up to date for Sony, that's a great opportunity to use MY ps4 as an allround Gamestation👍👍👍
Last night I found my silver Batman PS4 I bought a few months ago thinking about how much better it would be if I could JB it instead of regular black one, then this video dropped lol
Great work ! I got the required stuff and ready to run over , i’m on 9.03 but a bit hesitated , do you advise me to wait ? If 9.03 JB is coming soon !
Hi, MW ! Nice video. Just to ask in 45 min you say that you goin' to flash patched Syscon .bin again. Which .bin file you mean?
More work bro ,this the bes tutorial for reverting ever 🌷
Hello Jailbreak Messiah ❤❤... Thanks for the video
I've break one of my testing ps4 slim motherboards , any way 😂 im learning, thanks , wanting for another simple way to do revert more simply 🤗🤗
Awesome tutorial.
I'm so glad that I didn't update to latest firmware I accidentally downloaded 9.03 trying to jailbreak my ps4 now it sound like I have a chance and don't have to buy a new system
Thank you so much , we hope for a simp short way to do this
you are an absolute legend
I cannot wait to give this a try
Confirmed. Today I downgraded my ps4 from 9.3 to 9.0. But there are two nuances.
1. In order for syscon to remain in debugging mode, you need to unlock that function additionally.
2. In order for the console to start, I had to completely remove teensy 2++. Only then did the console begin to show signs of life.
BIG THANKS FOR THIS GUIDE.👍👍👍👍
My teensy 2++ does not show up on my pc
How did you configure the teensy2.0++? I just bought mine and it doesn't show up on my pc , I installed every single driver for it.
@@justinbarrett836 Watch this guide 26:09Maybe because it is empty? You need a program and upload a hex file to it. One to program syscon and other to program NOR
So it's possible if ps4 was before on 9.0 and not if 9.0 was skipped?
@@nijamkajNo. This method restores to the previous version. Which was on the console.
Thank you very much for the full video. I would like to know, currently my PS4 FAT is in 5.05. I would like to know if I should first update it to do like the video, or if I should do differently. thanks again
It's finally ok for me 9.04 > 9.00!!! I followed step by step and everything works perfectly :D the motherboard of my ps4 pro is an NVG I had to adapt some soldering points, and it is impossible for me to connect in debug mode if I remove the pin wire 15. So I had to keep it soldered to write to the syscon. Then to restart the console I had to unsolder all the wires. Fortunately it worked the first time by making choice 3 (FF FF FF FF....) Many thanks again I can finally re-use my PS4 pro in 9.00!
Yo seguí el tutorial paso a paso y no he podido leer el syscon siempre me sale error de comunicación. He probado los puntos tradicionales y los alternativos y el resultado es el mismo
@@cajaritohh2606what's the model of your motherboard ?
How much money do you spend to revert your version?
around $25, the price of the teensy and some components to prepare it@@michellepanco3038
Hello! I have an nvg-004 and the nor chip has a different layout, could you explain how you adapted those points? Do you have any diagram? Thanks in advance!
Hello!
Excellent!
I'll try this to work, I have both Teensy and USB to TTL, I'm just waiting for the MCP1825S-3302E and XC6206P302MR to arrive so I can modify Teensy and we go 🙂.
I have several consoles that I know were previously under 9.00.
I hope I'll succeed, it's complicated, but I used to do something similar with the PS3 before the NOR3 flasher appeared, or as it was called, when the FAT PS3 was downgraded.
Is it worked for u?
Hello!
I haven't tried it yet, I'm waiting for some components to arrive, and I can't get there from work.
Realistically there is a lot of work involved, so I don't even know how much I would charge someone for such a service, it's more profitable for me to fix a console, laptop or whatever, than to mess with this, but I'll definitely try it for myself and see if will make it...
Thank you for the amazing explanation/videos, you are the best 👍👍👍. i wanted to ask you if there is a way to know the version of the "inactive slot" firmware before dissasembly and soldering. 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Thank you man , I appreciate your work ❤
My PS4 was updated to 11.50 5 days ago and today we have full tutorial for the jailbreak 11.0 :) So I think I need to wait some years for a new guide :(((((
Help us
always the best, thank you bro.
Thank you so much. Been looking for the newest tutorial. Going to do it to my 9.03 this week!!
Did you manage to do it?
rip ps4
@@TheGremulin🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow. man you are the king of ps engineer. Excellent. Is it same process in ps4 pro ?
Man you are legend
you are a great teacher
Great work and thanks so much for the tutorial ❤ keep it up
I just faced a problem the syscon tool freezes idk why also the console dead like it doesn't power on I don't know the reason until now
If you have an idea why it happened please let me know
nice work mate
Dear excellent video, congratulations, could you please upload to a server, the connection points for the teensy and its different plates only appear in the video.
It's worth mentioning that you should disconnect the optical drive and power supply cables when performing this. You'll find the PS4 syscon tools will likely freeze when trying to get into debug on the console if you have these connected.
Hi, is there a chance to check what's firmware versions on inactive slot without open console and dump nor? Top work tutorial btw
Thank you for this tutorial, time and effort that you put into this subject
So thankful, you can't even type out a genuine thanks without copy n pasting over the same comment again and again.
This bot thirsty for likes 🤣
brilliant engineer
Your video is very detailed, thank you very much. Is there any possibility of using another Teensy superior 4.0 for the use of SPIway and everything else?
SPINNER V1. 0
Sick bro, thinking of buying a PS4 soon.
EDIT: It will not be doing this after all😭
Adoro vc modded warfare eu sempre acompanho seus vídeos abraço cara
Hey everyone, I have an update about syscon and spi reading.
Even though A00-COL2 is compatible, not all syscons are patchable in fact. I just verified this 2 other boards. It had the correct version for revert compatibility but in the ps4 wee tools it's mentioned not patchable. As for the spi read, the spi wiring of NVA boards do not hold good for NVB-003 but hold good for NVB-001 boards.
Update: The wiring scheme is the same. The problem is with the SPIway script. It does not recognize SPANSION NOR chips. Only winbond works.
Good info. Mine says probably patchable. But both nor options 3&4 both come back as 9.03
Wondering if I overwrote the old slot when I reinstalled 9.03 before doing this. 😢
Currently running all slot switching options but no luck. Always 9.03
@albertdavis1882 You can still try with general options and extras if need be. The revert part is mainly achieved with nor and not syscon. That's why you first flash the nor chip and then the syscon chip. Do try with those options too.
@@DrCryogenictried all of them. My error message doesn’t say the same thing his does. Mine says :Main(3728)getmanufacturerinfmode
Hello, did you or someone else succeeded to dump SPANSION NOR? My PS4 pro 9.03 has been lying around disassembled for two months waiting for a solution to the problem 😂. Someone commented on my previous comment that he successfully dump this chip but didn't share how he did it. Thanks
@user-fn7nk6hs6j you could directly wire it to your SPIway or modify the script to identify the NOR chip with device ID. In my case, it was on firmware 7.02 so I used ftp to backup the nor and then replaced it with a readable nor from a donor board.
hey bud quick question for ya.
is this possible on the ps4 slim do you know?
thinking of doing it and switching between retail for psn ps+ and online etc then having my offline for my jailbreak which i have right now on 9.00
Thanks for all the great videos ive learned quite a lot watching them 😁
edit: after a quick rewatch i missed it the first time but answered my own question aha SAD/SAE boards are slim so id use alternative points but whats the best way to approach this?
9.00 is whats on right now so if i switch to the other slot would i install the latest on the other slot and keep the 9.00 on the slot it is on now?
Do you recommend desoldering the syscon all together to avoid breaking the pin?
Hello I was wondering should I update to 9.00 I'm currently on a 5.05 pro, I want to use the latest linux payload for the ps4 pro but can't seem to find one for 5.05 is there anyway i can get around this or do i need to update to 9.00 and also is 9.00 better than 5.05 or should i just stay on 5.05?
Just got a bit of curiosity in regards to the syscons active and inactive.
Personally unsure in what order or how many times I've done the following.
If the same version has been reinstalled, can the same version occupy the active and inactive, albeit by reset or reinstall?
Previously on a 8.xx, but currently on 10.xx
Just unsure if syscon holds (10.xx/8.xx) or both on that specific 10.xx
Board appears it may have a compatible syscon and exposed legs of NOR
So glad I'm already on 9.00. I wouldn't go anywhere near my PS4 with a soldering iron!
never clicked so fast
Can you make a video where you combine your old revert video with the new one it would make the revert method easier .instead of reverting back, you will update from 9 to the current version 11, then do the revert. You can use the jailbreak to dumb the s flash from nor I just believe you can make an easier method by combining the 2 video of yours.
@MODDEDWARFARE A few questions while I wait for my Teensy 2.0++. I have a ps4 on firmware 5.55 and was wondering if during the backup of 5.55 I could then manually update to 9.00 then make a back up of 9.00 then update to latest firmware so I can play with my mates (using 3 different SSD's for each version) is this possible? And can I switch between these firmwares? I am looking forward to your reply and anyone else who is willing to help me
What precision solder did you use?
you shouldnt keep ur ps4 like facing up u should have it flat due to cooling (REALLY GOOD VID)
Hallo Modded Warfare thanks for the hard work you put in.. i have one question.. i bought the small regulator with exact number but i cant semm to get 2.6v on vcc.. am getting 3.0v
sorry if this seems like a stupid question, but what if I were to take my friends patched syscon and nor on firmware 9.00 and we had the same nor and syscon chips, would I be able to do this on say the latest update on a ps4 that doesn't have 9.00 in its secondary slot?
@MODDEDWARFARE Hello sir, I wish you a good day.
There is a question I want to ask you. I want to download two of the same games to my 9.00 version device by changing the cusa codes, one as a patched game and the other as the original game. Have you done any work on this before? In short, can I change the cusa codes of a game?
I soldered in a couple of e3 linkers during the ps3 days but no way I am gonna try this.
Good day sir, I really appreciate the effort for all you've done in ps4/ps5 exploit scene.
Do you have the alternative solder points for the SAD-002 slim board ? Thanks
Just solder direct to Syscon chip (pinout as shown at 18:40).
Thanks for this video ! what if i don't know the previous firmware version ?
if i reinstalled the same firmware in the console (i changed the hard drive), is it going to have the same firmware version in both syscon slots? or the older one is still there?
OMG thanks very much !
Hi, might be a dumb question. After downgrade, can you reuse the teensy on another console? If I have 3 consoles 9.03 to do.
Thanks
Would you be able to post your backup so those of us with the matching model can flash our too-high updated consoles to 9.00?
Any alternatives for the 3 way dip switch can't buy it because I'm not in the uk and i can't seem to find a us version of that one
I have a NVG-002 board and there are 6 via pads for the NOR chip in the same location as the NVA board but not the same layout do you know where I can find a pin out for my board?
Question: NVG-003 does the NOR chip and Syscon chip share the same 2.7 volt? or do I wire the Syscon to the 5 volt(3 volt) the the Teensy 2++?
NEW BANGER ALERT 🗣🗣
I wanna learn how to install this sort of stuff, as well as mod chip my switch lite. I have some old iPhones I’m thinking I can use to practice some soldering. I can tear apart a car, and I’ve built my own pc and fixed my own laptops. I’ve soldered wires in a car so now it’s time for me to finally learn this skill.
Holy shit. insane effort by everyone
@MODDEDWARFARE i want to ask if you know why i can't see the text on putty i turn on the uART on but text doesn't show the cursor is moving , i doble chek my wires and everything is good, do know what can be ,thanks
Is it possible to use a teensy 4.0 for doing this revert mod and how to make the teensy on 3,3v?
You deserve a like❤
Any particular reason for opting for the Teensy 2.0++ instead of the regular 2.0 model?
@moddedwarfare is it possible that a slot holds a range of firmware? I know for a fact I never had 9.60 on my console, but when the TTL reads the console on start, first of all there is way more text than yours shows, and it says 9.60, that’s why I’m wondering maybe just got the wrong slot switch, cause one should be 10.01 and the other 9.00, are you able to confirm something like this? Also the PS4 on boot in safe mode says to plug in a usb with 9.60 or higher firmware
Hi MW, thanks a lot for you r content, you are simply amazing. I have a question, if i have a ps4 pro with OFW 9.60, and i know that the previous fw was 9.51. So can i do the revert for install the ofw 9.00? Maybe the procedure for this kind of downgrade it's different? Thank you for any answers
no
Help! i tried 2 times to resolder the pin VDD on the chip but everytime i resolder it in the sysnand tool i CANT enter the chip into debug mode! i need every time to unsolder the pin and put a wire etc any idea?
