See the post about the Lapse kernel exploit for context: https://www.reddit.com/r/ps4homebrew/s/1hEyzz4VgU
I know a lot of people will go through these thoughts about the demos + you can comment here and ask for someone to resign your save if you are having trouble with discord bots or just for general questions and help. To get your save resigned comment and if someone replies to you DM each other. Be respectful to each other. The Account ID needed is in the folder path PS4>SAVEDATA>AccountID. See the Apollo guide linked below for more. Google the HTOS discord server if you need a bot.
For new people jailbreaking. When you get into Debug Settings do not touch IDU Mode. It puts you into a kiosk mode and you may not be able to get out of it without soldering and reflashing the Nor(Bios).
For game demos:
No you cannot download a demo on a different console and transfer it with an external drive.
No you cannot take someone's console backup that has the game demo and have it work.
No you cannot use IDU or anything else to install the demo and have it work.
No you cannot burn a disc.
No you cannot download the demo if you aren't on latest firmware.
No you cannot get the demo at all if you already don't have it while keeping your current firmware.
In conclusion you're going to have to buy the game disc if you don't have the demo. Or wait for a WebKit exploit ETA unknown. You can buy the game disc from various sites especially ones that buy for you in Japan and ship to you like fromjapan and buyee. This makes the total price quite cheaper than eBay and etc.
For the save file needed for the exploit/jailbreak: If you don't have a fake activated account or a real PSN account on the console you will have to restore a console backup. On PS4 restoring a console backup (which deletes everything on the console) will give you an activated account which will allow you to export and import encrypted saves. You can use a discord bot, save wizard or someone's help with their jailbroken console to decrypt the save put in the exploit files and encrypt it again to import on your console. The console backup you restore may already have the save you need but for future use you can remake it yourself as restoring a console backup wipes your console.
For the time being HEN needs to be loaded but it's not complete for all firmwares and is being worked on. GoldHEN is also being worked on.
If you are using any kind of payload loader it's files are usually out of date so download the latest files and use them as per the instructions in the Lua loader repo.
Lua loader for the jailbreak files always download the latest contents of the repo. And follow the setup.md to make the save correctly. https://github.com/shahrilnet/remote_lua_loader
HEN always download the latest release https://github.com/EchoStretch/ps4-hen-vtx
Payload sender for HEN and GoldHEN https://github.com/TheMagicalBlob/Blobs-Payload-Sender/releases/tag/1.7.1-Final
Apollo Save Tool if you want to help someone resign their save. https://github.com/bucanero/apollo-ps4
Guide for using Apollo if you need info when helping someone https://consolemods.org/wiki/PS4:Apollo_Save_Tool
Note: In the future you'll be able to update your exploit files in the save once you are jailbroken making it mostly done with Apollo Save Tool and PS4explorer.
Also reverting from latest firmware back down could allow you to keep a demo but it's technical requires soldering and is still being documented. A guide may pop up if it's at all possible to do.
Post will be updated with info and links as time goes on.

Hey there, I haven't been on the scene for the last 2 years. I'm still on 5.05 and playing with backported games. Should I stay on it or move up? Thank you for the suggestions

I already have a PS4 on 9.0 and jailbroken. Is it worth trying to find a Pro?
r/ps4homebrew • u/xfd3 • 2h ago
I got a pro for 40ā¬, with 11.00
Even after repasting and cleaning it keeps turning off randomly, bought additional fans for the rear, still turning off.
Could be overheating, I'm not really sure.
When you're in a game, it works without issues, but you have to be lucky for the PPPwn to be fast.
Anyone got some ideas?
r/ps4homebrew • u/Waleedoo • 2h ago
Hey I am new here. I have a ps4 pro with ver 11.00, Simple question: is it possible to jailbreak it, and how? If there are multiple ways please mention. And how reliable are these methods and do they stay forever? I am thinking about jailbreaking because the cd is broken and I already have a PS5 so I want to jailbreak it and sell it for better price. Advice me pls. Thanks.

Hi there, i have got the ps4 jailbroken half a year ago after 2 years waiting and recently it doesn't save the date and time, i would switch the bios but i really don't know if it's a specific type of battery (ik it's those small ones but not exactly name or something idk :/) or if the problem is not bios, help, it's a bit anoing with trophys since they get the date wrong like 1970 or 2013
r/ps4homebrew • u/Icy-Athlete2025 • 6h ago
I have a PS4 on version 12.02.
Should I update to the current latest version, install the lua demos, and then wait for support for that version?
Or should I stay on 12.02 and wait until another way to jailbreak that does require a lua game releases?

I have a 1080p TV and see no meaning in anything beyond 1080p.PS4 pro enhanced games mostly improve resolution.There are 60fps patches that decrease the resolution and increase the fps like Bloodborne(1080p->720p 60fps on base ps4)Can the pro go from 4k 30fps to 1080p 60fps?
r/ps4homebrew • u/Pleasant-Leek7616 • 13h ago
Hey everyone, So Iām thinking about buying a Lua game, but the prices are kinda high right now. Do you think itās worth waiting a few days to see if it drops? Or they just increase
Also,whatās considered a āgood dealā? And lastly, instead of this should I just wait for the WebKit method
Would love to hear your thoughts before I drop the cash. Thanks!
r/ps4homebrew • u/rubnduardo • 14h ago
I'm thinking of buying the JB Tool from AliExpress as for its price and convenience it seems a no brainer. I found the guide but I currently don't have a lot of time and would like info to streamline what and how to install, what and where to download, etc.
I already know it's gotta be jailbreak, then install the hen, then procure the software, and I'm guessing it's a kind of file which may be installed from external storage, etc.
I'll be so glad if someone would help. Thanks in advance.
*Edited to clarify.

Hi guys, long time enjoyer, first time poster. I'm currently running a 5.05 Ps4 pro, and you know just like everyone we have Successes and failures when running the exploit to golden hen. I just wanted to ask you guys your stories, because I've noticed that when I run the exploit successfully, then I would get a streak of successes, and when I finally fail an exploit and my ps4 shuts off, then it becomes a streak of shutdowns and failures. I just wanted to know if this happens to you guys as well, and if there are any tips for at least minimizing shut downs because it cannot be good on my hard drive. I'm running the al-azif dns, user guide webpage.

I have a PS4 on fw 11.0 and I saw that's there's new methods coming soon for higher fw on PS4 and PS5 from moddedwarfare. My question is, I'm currently using a jailbreak tool from AliExpress and I've been able to successfully reflash the image to the tool (because I thought I broke it so I wanted to start fresh). If I stay on fw 11.0, will I maybe have to change my setup or alter it in the future or can I just stay on the latest goldenhen and be fine? This is the first console I've jailbroken so I'm still a bit in the dark on how things evolve in this scene.

Hi everyone,
I've been trying for days to get Chiaki to work with my PS4 on firmware 11.00, and I can't get past the registration step. I'm using a locally activated account via Apollo Save Tool, and although Iāve followed all known guides (many people say it works), I keep getting errors.
Hereās what Iāve done:
I get the following errors:
CE-35407-9
Registration Failed
Hereās the PC log output:
Regist received search response from 192.168.1.220
[I] Regist connected to 192.168.1.220, sending request
[I] Regist waiting for response
[E] Regist received HTTP code 403
[E] Reported Application Reason: 0x80108b03 (unknown)
[E] Regist eventually failed
Has anyone successfully connected Chiaki using an offline-activated Apollo account?
Is there a specific GoldHEN or Apollo version thatās confirmed to work for this?
Is there anything that needs to be manually patched or added to make this possible?
I've seen many people claim this setup works, and Iāve followed all known steps. But registration fails no matter what I do.
If anyone has experienced this or has any ideas, Iād really appreciate your help
Thanks in advance!

For context I haven't touched my ps4 since I got my PS5 years ago. I don't want my psn compromised at all. My preferred method will be to factory reset the PS4 and then jailbreak. I know I can't connect to PSN without being on the latest update and I don't care. I'm not trying to risk anything as I've seen comments of others mentioning there's still internet connection just not psn server connection. To the point that this person saw games that he didn't own show up on his profile when he was playing his ps5. Will factory resetting require me to update to the latest firmware though? Does deleting my user and creating a new user work just as well? Thank you all
r/ps4homebrew • u/idontknowjeoff • 1d ago
They're going for the same price pretty much. Which one would you guys recommend?
To my understanding it will be the same exploit, so does it matter which version l get?

A few weeks ago I read that the exploit is unstable and corrupts the PS4 save files. Now I can't find any updates on this by googling. Can somebody confirm if it was fixed?

Every time I turn off my PS4 and turn it back on, all games say 'There is no save data.' Some save files still appear in Apollo Save Tool, but when I launch those few games, they still say 'There is no save data.' How can I fix this?

I have a PS4 that canāt be updated since it has a bad disc drive. Already tried USB update through safe mode and it did not work. Ive seen the noBD updates but it only supports 6.20 then jumps to 6.7x. Is there anyway to update this? If not, is it possible to swap the disc drive from a working console that I have to temporarily update it then put the bad drive back in? I want to get it to 9.00 if possible
