VVildCard777 has just released a homebrew enabler in the form of a binary payload for PS4 firmware 4.05.[prebreak]1[/prebreak] In addition to announcing his development on twitter, he also gives a hefty amount of credit to users flat_z for his writeup on how to handle PS4 Fake PKGs and SELF / FSELF, notzecoxao and psxdev for their assistance with the project, and IDC for his codebase. This homebrew enabler allows PS4 users on this firmware to not only launch homebrew applications, custom themes, BGM, and packages, but will also eventually allow users to run their backup PS4 games.

This enabler is available through VV1LD's GitHub page here, with instructions found in the included ReadMe. Users must first run the kernel exploit (either from browser or manual) and inject the payload that way (how to run kernel exploit) Afterwards, it's as simple as installing the desired homebrew pkg through Settings/☆Debug Settings/Game/Package Installer and running it as an application. Pictured above is a test homebrew package, which simply prints a "Hello world!" message on the screen.

Note that it's recommended to disable your PS4's internet connection before installing the package, as some users have reported a prompt asking to install the latest firmware. The kernel exploit currently will not work on any firmwares above 4.05, so don't update if you plan to make use of this.

Using FileZilla with the xVortex payload, I still cannot connect to the PS4. It keeps telling me ""ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server"

yo I totally feel you. I ended up working contracts on top of my job in order to fund my second switch. I am stressed over how to get the second ps4. Im scraping by right now. So I totally feel you. But for some people money is no object so this is what will happen.

So as of now, there is no way to run/install the exploit completely off line right? And the exploit is kinda like the Vita Henkaku, where you had to run the exploit EVERY time you wanted to run something? Or you only have to run the exploit in order to install a package?

I read over the initial guide and package, but I'm still not understanding if this is a "one and done" thing, or an "run everytime" hack.

Thanks!

You run every time. Sleep mode saves it though. Offline i have gotten it to work with a ras pi

Ok. I don't mind hitting that page online. Just paranoid it will update even if I turn off auto-update settings and try to block all reported Sony websites.
Worst case, if somehow the latest firmware DOES download itself to the PS4, it won't do anything unless I click "update" on the nag pop up message right?

You can use Android to send payloads now so in theory block Android internet access crate hotspot and connect the PS4 to Android then send payloads

I do the same thing on my ras pi. I have the switch and ps4 running on it. Hooked it to and old router so i can do the switch wirelessly

I don't know how to do that with a phone. I'll just use the standard method after blocking all the Sony websites. I will probably wait a few weeks until everything out there is confirmed working and such.
Don't want another Vita scene misshaps where people were supplying hacked files that would brick your system.

al azif local host is superior method atm cause it intergrates ftp and ps4hen along with other goodies.
