Hey guys, I have a serious problem. My PS4 Pro was working fine last night, and I went to enable Goldhen cheats and the system shut down. Upon reboot I got the dreaded "Serious error in system software" message and was booted into safe mode. Tried rebuilding the database, but no dice. I then chose "restore default settings" which I was told would only reset certain things like network settings and the games should still be showing, but NOPE! Now my primary profile is gone, and I only see my secondary profile called "User1". So my previous PSN activated profile is missing, along with any games installed on it. The system storage shows full so the data is still technically there. I got back into hen and enabled FTP. I'm poking around in the folders but not sure what I'm looking for here. Is there any kind of homebrew or method I could use to get this profile back, or is it toast? I thought the restore settings option wasn't volatile, but apparently it wiped out my profile.

It's a PS4 Pro on 9.0.0.

It is common to get kernel panic for exploitable PS4, if it doesn't correctly you might have to reinstall OS, or replacement the hard drive.

easiest way to fix a database problem is itemzflow probably. I don't think it has that pesky issue with being unable to delete content. that's one thing you want to be sure of. also, next time, backup the databases in system_data/priv/mms . you'll never have this problem again or at least where it is a problem.

I was told to take all the the files and stuff that’s in system_data and keep a copy of all them on my pc for backup. Probably a good idea right?

Backups, when possible, on every systems hacked is always the “rule”.
Each time you install a game or whatever homebrews, you should backup your database and saves.

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What the hell is Kodi reposts? what do you mean, or "Wut?" -xdqwerty
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Google them basically web crawlers to movie sites
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    oh you mean the 3rd party apps on Kodi, yea i know what you mean, yea there are still a few cool ones, in fact watched the new planet of the apes movie other night w wifey thru one, was good pic surprisingly, not a cam
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Damn, only $2.06 and free shipping. Gotta cost more for them to ship than $2.06
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
