Crazy idea: my choice of DS4 controller seems to affect the regularity of kernel panic - details in post

I've been leaving my ps4 in rest mode with a long time since the last panic. The last 2 or 3 days - lots of KP happening.

I've been getting "Hold the power button down for 20 second" type hangups and lots of crashes. No software or setting changes.

Everything else I normally so is unchanged like closing all apps before rest.

The only difference is my other DS4 remote has been in use.

Am I crazy? Is this a correlation without causation?

Alternatives to Orbis Patch Installer for updating games?

I have Bloodborne on disc and I've been attempting to update it for a few days now via Orbis, but it just keeps saying "Unable to download endpoint data" and hasn't worked for me at all. The only fix I've found is make sure you're using the latest version, which I am, and downloading the updates off their website and trying to install them directly doesn't work either (they just throw an error and flat out refuse to install). Are there any alternate routes I can take?

EDIT: I've also temporarily unblocked Sony's servers yes. Same issue regardless. At this point I've just kinda given up since I haven't found any fixes unless someone else has encountered this problem as well. I'm on 9.00 if that matters.

What is the most stable exploit to use on 9.0?

I was honestly just using Al Azif's original for 9.0, but I'm noticing more and more crashes both when I run the exploit and after waking from sleep. But when I would try to latest and greatest GoldHen, I felt like I would have even more crashes. I have two PS4s and it's the same issues on both. Any suggestions?

Transfer PS4 game from PS5 to Modded PS4? Game Locked.

Hey, I'm trying to transfer one of my games from PS5 to my modded PS4. I own the game on the PS5, but it isn't currently moddable. I can't find this game anywhere on the internet and I really need to dump it. When I move my extended storage device its locked and asks for PSN and an update. Is there any way to get this game running on the Modded PS4 so I can dump it?

Inquiry about WebKit

Hello, I’m fairly new to the PS4 scene, sorry if this is a stupid question, but I came across a post on twitter talking about WebKit functions in html apps and wanted to ask if someone knows a website(s) that has more information about this. If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be amazing.

question about the 11.00 kernal panic

Hello, since English is not my native language, I am using GPT to translate and post my question. I am using version 11.00 and have received a lot of help through Reddit. I use luckfox to automatically inject goldhen and have updated to the latest version, 2.4b18. The only downside I have noticed while using the jailbreak is that the system freezes when switching to or waking from rest mode (it feels like a 50% chance), which I believe is referred to as a kernel panic. Even after a forced reboot, it takes a long time to check data and inject the payload, which is inconvenient. I use luckfox to address this, but it doesn't seem to be a fundamental solution. Although Apollo is installed, I have never run it, and I usually disable the network after activating goldhen. Despite reports that kernel panics have been mitigated in version 2.4b18, my system still crashes when I put it into rest mode with a game running. I tend to be impatient and have a strong preference for entering rest mode without closing the game. Is there any good solution for this?

My system consists of a internal 2TB SSD, a power supply, a USB for luckfox, a USB for additional 4TB SATA SSD, and a LAN cable for luckfox. I am wondering if there might be an issue with power shortage.

Is the newest Apollo Save Tool 100% safe for database rebuilding?

Hi folks!

I recently bought PS4 with 10.01, so jailbreaked it with Luckfox and the newest Goldhen is installed. Everything is runing well, I installed some games via GameBato (using their free VIP period - now it lasts only 3 days, not a 7 days as earlier) and after that some from USB. But today I tried to install Stray game (from USB) and installation is completed however there is no Stray visible to launch. If I try to install it again there is info, that the game is already installed. I've just read that rebuilding game/DLC database(s) could help. However I also read that rebuilding databases may give effect on missing all games/apps frome the console.

So, my question is: whether this app is safe to use as database rebuilder? I will not rebuild database, if the answer is negative... It's not worth to risk all games for the one title.

Thanks in advance for any of your thoughts or experiences!

Greets!

Goldhen host question

I was using kameleonre at first then I switched to hippie68. I used the 2nd site until the recent update. Hippie68s goldhen is now 2.4b18 (beta) which has cause me some issues. So I'm on the hunt for the version before it. Does anyone know what site still has the goldhen 2.4b17.4 payload?

9.0 VS 11.0/ Goldhen?

i have the intention to get a ps4 capable of being Jailbroken. However the question is: are there any real benefits to going with the latter firmware over 9.0? does goldhen need the full Ethernet package every time i unplug the current from the ps4?

i do believe it will be far easier to find one at 11.00 for Hen, but are there any major considerations to decide against it?

Anyone else having problems with new goldhen?

Ive installed it and the rest mode is def better. Rhe cheats menu is also fine. But for about a week my ps4 turned off 3 times just randomly. Its not that big of a deal but is this normal? The goldhen is a beta so i guess i shouldnt be mad.

How to avoid kernel panic?

I have a ps4 slim with 10.01. I still use May version of goldhen. I tried a number of tools, the latest is ppwn tinker. I use PC with cpp version. The jailbreak works well (albeit is sometimes slow to JB), the problem is I got a kernel panic EVERY TIME I shut down the console. Tlnot a single time I shut down the console and the next book there is this shit of checking for error.

It could damage the console/savedata?

There is a way to avoid it?

Bonus question: there is a way for autoJB with PC? I just saw auto JB with lucfoxpico and similar.

DroidPPPwn issues with running exploit from Android TV

So after bricking my Android TV 2 times, I finally managed to get it rooted with Magisk. I then installed DroidPPPwn, but it is saying that it cannot find pppwn (droidpppwn.../lib/arm/pppwn: doesn't exist). I thought ok, I'll compile it myself and place it there. I used this: https://github.com/deviato/PPPwn_cpp_android and compiled it using termux. Now when I run it complains that the TLS segment is underaligned and needs to be 32 (even tho I ran termux-elf-cleaner)... any ideas from anyone? My TV architecture is armeabi-v7a. If someone has the pppwn built for that architecture please share, also any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

cannot jailbreak ps4

I'm on firmware 11.00 and have done everything linked here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c99oey4lz9Q&t=455s and it still won't work for me, it just stays loading on pppwn 1.5 and 1.9 and my ps4 cannot obtain a ip address within time limit code (CE-33984-7) any ideas? the only thing I can think of is I use starlink and they dont use PPPoE credentials.

Question for Linux users on PS4 Pro

How good is Raytracing performance under Mesa? I'm considering doing some RT projects for the console since PS5 doesn't have Linux yet and the architecture on the Pro supports Mesa's RT emulation which can be really efficient from what I've seen
