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
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 ?? 🤔🤔🤔

Insane amount of work you put in to this video.
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.
The animation for the points is a lovely touch. Another amazing video tutorial thank you for going in depth everytime.
So much tech and knowledge behind this. I'm amazed. Well done!
Great tutorial. I love the part where you kept saying "2 dumps" and "Comparing both dumps". Classic.
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. 🎉
I was waiting for a guide like this to revert a ps4 pro. Thanks!!!
Bro youre always coming out with these work arounds thank you
I'm hoping to see all these things go further. I am amazed. Amazed at what JB 4 can do!
YAY It's here!! Thank you so much! Have been impatiently waiting for this and so happy it's here!
NO
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.
EXCELLENT MATE !! keep the tutorials coming
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 😃
Thanks for all the effort. That is not easy but gives hope that some day we'll get it.
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 🙂
What a time to be alive!
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?
Amazing work dude, nicely explained
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.
OMG this is the BEST tutorial!!!
Rock and roll!!!!
Always!!
You are the best teacher adviser and more.
Greeting's from HAYWARDS HEATH ❤
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...
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
Awesome! thank for for the tutorial!
Thank you for this clear and concise instructions!
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.
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!
This wild 50 min vid nice very good tutorial
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...
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
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👍👍👍
Good tutorial keep doing the good work 👍👍👍
Even though this tutorial is to hard for me
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🤣🤣🤣🤣
Awesome tutorial.
Hello Jailbreak Messiah ❤❤... Thanks for the video
Thank you so much , we hope for a simp short way to do this
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 🤗🤗
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 man , I appreciate your work ❤
I cannot wait to give this a try
More work bro ,this the bes tutorial for reverting ever 🌷
you are an absolute legend
always the best, thank you bro.
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?
Sick bro, thinking of buying a PS4 soon.
EDIT: It will not be doing this after all😭
nice work mate
Man you are legend
you are a great teacher
@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
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.
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
never clicked so fast
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
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.
So glad I'm already on 9.00. I wouldn't go anywhere near my PS4 with a soldering iron!
I soldered in a couple of e3 linkers during the ps3 days but no way I am gonna try this.
Adoro vc modded warfare eu sempre acompanho seus vídeos abraço cara
you shouldnt keep ur ps4 like facing up u should have it flat due to cooling (REALLY GOOD VID)
Wow. man you are the king of ps engineer. Excellent. Is it same process in ps4 pro ?
OMG thanks very much !
I didn't think this was possible I'm kind of surprised not going to lie
Maybe that's cause you don't follow the modding scene. Paid Firmware revert has been there for 6 months or more now. These free tools started showing up almost 2 months or so and people have been using it. But yes, this is the first video tutorial it seems, maybe MW wanted to try it a couple of times to be sure.
@@user-hj2zt9ri6tYou expect him to know that after only 6 months? Are you serious? As if its not normal to be surprised by such a big change.
@@KingStr0ng those who mod always follow the scene dude. 6 months is a considerable time. Ofcourse those who are not interested in mods will never ever know. Like for instance ps5 can play most of the ps4 dumps now. But ofcourse those who have no interest will not know.
@@user-hj2zt9ri6t"Those who mod always follow the scene" > No, most people don't live for whether or not they can mod their PS4. They have things to do. It's been awhile since anything was available for newer firmwares. Plus this is a tutorial to teach people that don't know, as I said.
@@user-hj2zt9ri6twhere can i find them?
@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?
What’s the price you end up spending on the requirements, with no knowledge on soldering wouldn’t it just be better to buy a new ps4 with the firmware
You deserve a like❤
The reality is this will not be for 70% of most people given the complexity of hardware removal and soldering@
NEW BANGER ALERT 🗣🗣
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.
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
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?
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.
I wish that you actually prioritized dumping the NOR Flash first to check if it can be reverted to jailbreakable firmware or not.
most console technicians actually do the dumping the nor flash first before proceeding with the rest of the stuff.
Good advice
Holy shit. insane effort by everyone
Do you think there's anyway to solder an ESP8266 or something similiar to the Teensy to inject and swap between firmwares from a phone via the network and web portal created by the ESP8266? That way you can swap between firmwares without a computer.
Same question, I have a esp laying around , teensy is like 25$
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. 🤔🤔🤔🤔
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?
I just bought a ps4 that's on 9.03. fingers crossed it has 9.0.. thank you for the tutorial
It will be 9.00 or lower as there is no firmware between 9.00 and 9.03 👍🏼
@@TheCroupier74what if the console was formated ?will it still be revertable
@@medecine4all513 if you reinstall FW 9.03 a second time then no. Both slots will be 9.03.
Thanks you 😘 🎉❤
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.
Do you recommend desoldering the syscon all together to avoid breaking the pin?
OMG Thank you!
Wait is it actually work?
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
such a sweet video wish i didn’t get sony banned messing with users name data base woops
Will this work on any firmware version. For example could I go from 11 to 9. Or it can only be reverted to the previous update os version?
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).
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
Hi, is there a chance to check what's firmware versions on inactive slot without open console and dump nor? Top work tutorial btw
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?
Hey, is your video « update a ps4 without blueray lector » still up to date ?
Hi i have a ps4 white light problem and need advice.
So i traded a faulty xbox one original for a supposed faulty ps4 original from a person that fixes consoles that wanted the Xbox for spares.
So on the day i got home with the ps4 i used my ps3 cables to power it on and it miraculously powered on which surprised me as the controller was connected properly using the usb cable.
But i saw the screen flash black then back to the home screen which i didn't know what is was then it did it once more and was displaying perfectly.
After about 5 mins of waiting for it too show some errors or switching off because i did not expect it to work i plugged in my usb speakers to the other usb port on the front while the controller was plugged in.
That was when the screen went black instantly. I didn't know what happened and pressed the eject button and a copy of GTA 5 came out which means the console was still powered on.
When i plug the controller and speakers in on my ps3 super slim at the same time is says too many devices drawing power something like that.
So i think it drew too much power on the ps4 and caused a wlod on the ps4.
Im trying to do a home repair with minimal tools and if you could give me some idea of what the usb ports could have shorted eg a transistor or fuses or something.
It still powers on and everything but that was the defining factor i think that contributed to the white light of death.
Any recommendations would help as ive watched a lot of CZcams videos and most are the ic chip or some transistor .
Its a original ps4 with wlod
What precision solder did you use?
Wow good job🎉✅
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
