What is Homebrew?
The word Homebrew (homebrew) usually means software not authorized by Sony. As an example, you can take different samopisnye games, programs for backup and edit the save and console emulators of previous generations (which at the moment is not so much on the PS4).
In most cases, the launch of Homebrew is 100% free and uses the PS4 internet browser.
What is Homebrew Enabler?
Homebrew Enabler (“HEN”) allows you to use almost all the features of the console that are not available to users of ordinary userland-exploits. For example, signature patches allow you to run unsigned code directly from the console menu.
HEN can be easily installed on any device with firmware 4.05 or lower.
What is installed in this manual?
The ultimate goal of this guide is to install PS4HEN on PS4 with official firmware version 4.05. If your prefix has a smaller firmware, then we will upgrade it to the required one, as well as block access to SONY update servers in order not to accidentally upgrade the firmware version to the highest.
What does HEN allow to do?
- Run backups of games from PS4 and PS2
- Dump the purchased games in a format that you can later install directly into the system and play without using the disc.
What you need to know before you start?
- Before you start the firmware, you should understand the risk of hacking: EVERY time, modifying the firmware of the console, you risk getting an irreducible bric. The probability of this is extremely low, but there is still a chance. So make sure you strictly follow all directions.
- The instruction is intended for all of the PS4 family of consoles of all regions with firmware 4.05 and below.
- If everything goes according to plan, you will not lose anything and everything will remain in its original state (games, PSN account, save, etc.).
- PS4 Fat, PS4 Slim, PS4 PRO have the same software, and therefore the same vulnerabilities. Therefore, speaking of PS4, we mean any prefix of this family with the necessary version of the firmware installed.
- DOWNGRADE AT THIS MOMENT IS IMPOSSIBLE! If you have a firmware higher than 4.05 - you can not install PS4HEN.
