Hello guys, so this is mi first time messing on the PS4 homebrew section, and got a couple of questions:
I bought a "Pre softmodded" ps4, the owner claim he intalled some games and already used several payloads on it, i got no further communication with the owner, but everything on the PS4 works so far.
The PS4 is currently running 9.0, but i recall the owner mentioning that he installed ""Somehting"" to block or the internet connection or the updates, after reading a bit, i figure it must be the Disable Updates payload.
I would like to start from scratch with this system, as i always do with all of the, so i would like to know:
I read that the "Magic" usb is always neccesary, got 0 issues with that, but would like to get confirmation on the payloads maximum version support (question above)
I would prefer to literally start from a factory reset and everything, so i can just set the DNS, execute the payload, and block the updates, and then, just go from here.
Any help its appreciated, regards!

I would like to start from scratch with this system, as i always do with all of the, so i would like to know:
- Can i just FACTORY reset the PS4 and start from scratch (Even if he executed any random payload) or something will crash/brick when performing the reset?
- Can i Re-Run the Disable Updates to be safe or its recomended to not run multiple times these kind of payloads?
- Sending the DIsable Updates Payload is "Permanent" until i send the "Enable Updates", or does this payload gets removed from memory each shutdown (Need to relaunch this everytime).
- Can i delete users that already have content on them without issues? or this must be avoided?
