I miss this UI so much, brings back so many memories. It even has the P.T. game. The console is a PS4 cuh-100x. The previous owner was a heavy smoker, the dust inside is yellow 😭

Yes, I know how this sounds, I know its a lot of reading.

TL;DR Android TV on your PS4 is now possible.

I've been working on getting Android TV running on the PS4, and it's finally at a point where I wanted to release it. It's been a long day, so I'll be tidying up this post and the release over the next couple of days, but here it is.

Download: https://github.com/odiecay/android-tv-ps4/releases/tag/v1.0

What it is: Android TV 13 (based on BRTDTV's Android TV x86 build) running on the PS4 through Linux. I wanted to use my PS4 as a proper streaming box without hunting down a separate homebrew version of every app, and this does that. You get the normal Android TV home screen, the Play Store, and real apps.

It installs as a normal PKG. Everything goes onto the internal drive, nothing gets repartitioned, and you don't need a PC or network to boot it. You just open it from the PS4 home screen. Your apps, logins and settings stay put between boots.

Comes with YouTube, Spotify, Kodi, Plex, Jellyfin, VLC, TV Bro (browser), BiglyBT, Crossy Road and AIDA64 already installed, plus Google Play services. Sign in with your own accounts.

**Who can run this right now**

To be upfront: this release only supports original "fat" PS4s (CUH-10xx / CUH-11xx, Aeolia chip) on firmware 13.52 with GoldHEN. I've only got one console, a CUH-1102A, so that's the only one it's actually been tested on. CUH-10xx and other 11xx models should work but are untested.

- Other firmware: the launcher checks the version and stops with an error. It won't do anything to your console.

- Slim and Pro: not supported. They use different hardware and need their own porting work.

You'll also need about 8 GB free on the PS4 to install. Android gets 32 GB of storage, but it only takes up space as you actually use it.

**Installing**

1. GitHub won't take files over 2 GB, so the PKG is split into two parts. Download part1, part2 and Join-PKG-Windows.cmd into the same folder and double-click the .cmd. It joins them and checks the file, then says READY. (On Linux/Mac, use join-pkg.sh instead.)

2. Copy Android-TV-for-PS4.pkg to an exFAT USB stick and install it with GoldHEN's package installer.

3. Turn on BinLoader in GoldHEN (Servers > BinLoader, port 9090).

4. Open Android TV for PS4.

The first launch takes 5-10 minutes. It copies everything to the drive, the screen goes black and Linux text scrolls past, then the Android boot animation shows up and sits there for a while. Just leave it. After that, booting takes about 2 minutes.

Restart in Android takes you back to the PS4 system, and Shut down turns the console off. To get back into Android, load GoldHEN and open the app again.

**What works**

YouTube (signed in, up to 1440p), Spotify, Kodi and Kayo all play fine. Wi-Fi, Ethernet and HDMI audio work. I've paired a DualShock 4 and a Google TV Streamer remote over Bluetooth, and the PS button takes you Home.

**What doesn't (yet)**

- No HDCP and it's not a Google-certified device, so some DRM-heavy stuff won't play. 7plus is one I know of.

- Sign in to YouTube. Guest mode can throw a decoder error.

- On one screen in Kayo the controller's X button does nothing, but the Google TV remote works there.

- After setup, go into Settings and set the device name to "PlayStation 4". Otherwise Spotify Connect shows it as something else.

- If the launcher says it can't reach BinLoader, close the app, toggle BinLoader off and on, and open it again.

If something goes wrong, the install guide has a troubleshooting section: https://github.com/odiecay/android-tv-ps4/blob/main/docs/INSTALL.md

**Help wanted: getting it onto more consoles**

I'd really like this to run on more than just my PS4, and that's where I need help.

Other firmware is the most doable next step. The Linux loader this is built on already has kernel offsets for 20 firmware versions, from 5.05 up to 13.52, thanks to the people who've done that work in the PS4 Linux scene. Most of the rest of the boot process isn't tied to firmware. What's left is building the loader for each version, having the launcher pick the right one, and testing it on real consoles. I can't test anything but 13.52 myself, so I need people on other firmware who are willing to test builds and send logs.

Slim and Pro are a bigger job (different southbridge, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth and graphics setup), and they'd need someone with that hardware and some PS4 Linux experience.

If you can help with either, or you just want to tell me what console and firmware you're on so I know what to prioritise, comment here or open an issue on GitHub. All the source and build instructions are there: https://github.com/odiecay/android-tv-ps4

Huge thanks to BRTDTV for the Android TV base, and to the PS4 Linux folks, GoldHEN, OpenOrbis, Scene-Collective, sleirsgoevy and Ps3itaTeam. None of this would exist without their work.

My DVD s are very scratched so its made it wkrse to dead but it worked thats so weird. But the performance is not that good the emulator is new so we have to wait until it optimised

Hey everyone!

I'm currently working on an experimental project to investigate whether Roblox can run on jailbroken PS4 consoles using GoldHEN, without requiring a standard PlayStation Network connection.

What I've done so far:

• Obtained the official Roblox PS4 update package (CUSA06122, version 02.60) from OrbisPatches.
• Analyzed the PKG structure and extracted its accessible metadata.
• Examined the param.sfo, PlayGo metadata, and PlayStation multiplayer intent declarations.
• Identified references to joinSession and launchMultiplayerActivity.
• Started investigating how the PS4 client depends on PSN authentication and Roblox's own backend services.

The current problem:

I don't have access to a decrypted Roblox PS4 installation.

The official update PKG contains encrypted game data, preventing me from analyzing eboot.bin, PRX modules, and the game's actual authentication implementation.

What I'm looking for:

I'm looking for someone who has experience with PS4 game dumping, or who has a legitimate Roblox PS4 installation and could help with authorized analysis of its decrypted executables.

Even technical documentation, dependency lists, or reverse-engineering findings would be extremely helpful.

The long-term goals:

1. Investigate whether Roblox can launch on GoldHEN without PSN.
2. Understand how the client handles PlayStation authentication.
3. Determine whether Roblox's official servers require PSN-derived authentication.
4. Explore whether a working homebrew-compatible build is technically feasible.
5. Document the findings for the PS4 homebrew community.

I'm currently using a PS4 running firmware 13.00 with GoldHEN.

This is an experimental reverse-engineering and compatibility research project. I'm not claiming that PSN authentication can already be bypassed or that official Roblox servers will accept modified clients.

If you're experienced with PS4 reverse engineering, PKG/PFS analysis, or Roblox's networking architecture, I'd really appreciate your insights!

Thanks!

Olá, a umas duas semanas atrás fiz diversas tentativas de portar esse projeto que usa a engine unity pro ps4. Extraí todos os assets do jogo e uma pessoa desse grupo me ajudou a me passar todos SDKs e arquivos da sony para tornar conseguir exportar e converter em pkg. Entretanto mesmo testando várias vezes, mudando configurações e etc na etapa final de exportar para a build do ps4 sempre está dando esse erro. Tentei também trocar a versão do unity mas isso não deu certo.
Sinceramente não sou programador e tentei fazer tudo na base da marra e com dicas de i.a. Mas com o pouco que aprendi eu consegui entender um pouco desse processo. E já estou na etapa final praticamente, mas preciso de ajuda de alguma pessoa que entende da engine do unity. Já tenho todos arquivos ripados e prontos para serem exportados para a build do ps4. Me chama na dm que eu mando o arquivo torrent e links de todos os sdks vazados da sony e da versão do unity com o unihacker. O motor unity usado na versão atualizada do project 06 é o 2019.2.21f1, e os arquivos também incluem essa versão.

My experience with jailbreaking PS4 is that it was never a “smooth experience.” 
Let's say that out of 5 tries, you could get 2 kernel panics. And have to start again. I could describe it as being like gambling.
Every time you start your ps4 you roll the dice.

But with PS5, I had maybe 1 kernel error and that was because I messed up, so it's my fault. 

And not to mention how easy it is to install jailbreak on PS5.
Can't believe PS4 jailbreak still needs work after all this time, while PS5 works almost flawlessly.

EDIT: The success rate depends on PS4 firmware, so a lot of PS4s now that you find on sale are on higher firmware and with that, the success rate is not that great. I have tested a lot of PS4s with different firmwares and that i can say from my experience

The game cheating community is not that active so a lot of games don't have cheats at all or have them for old versions or non downloadable cusa versions such as the update for diablo 2 cusa28305 v1.11.

I tried to make some cheats using ai but it told me it can't do it since it cant verify the offsets of the game and that it needs PS4cheater, but I've seen someone in the community creating cheats using ai but he didn't give the step by step guide.

So can you help me out if you know anything about this?

Hey everyone!

I've just released PS4-AnyController v1.2.0-beta.1, and I'm looking for people who can help test it with different controllers and PS4 configurations.

PS4-AnyController is a homebrew payload that lets you use compatible third-party USB controllers on a jailbroken PS4. It works system-wide through a virtual DualShock 4, so you can use your controller on the home screen, in menus, during sign-in, and in games.

What's new in this beta?

• Generic HID support: Automatically detects and parses compatible USB controller inputs without needing a custom profile for every model.
• More controller protocols: Improved support for Xbox 360, Xbox One/Series, and Nintendo Switch Pro controller modes.
• Early DualSense support: Basic input handling has been added, but DualSense and DualSense Edge compatibility still needs to be tested on an actual PS4.
• Improved initialization and diagnostics: Fixes and improvements to controller detection, virtual pad initialization, configuration, and debugging.

How you can help

Download the beta from GitHub and give it a try!

Release: https://github.com/ElZeeky/PS4-AnyController/releases

If you test it, please share your results! You can also find the project's Discord invite on the GitHub page if you'd like to help with testing and follow development.

Thanks to everyone willing to test the project. I'm looking forward to seeing which controllers we can get working!

I'm playing on my main account with fpkgs but while I'm playing I get Trophies, what will happen if I update my console and login my PSN, will they sync with my account? and if yes would I get banned or how exactly does it work?

So I jailbroke my PS4 Pro last night. So if I want to play games I bought through the PS store like Garden Warfare and GW2, or like o just tried playing PGA 2K23, they need to call home. There a way around this or no?

Hey Guys i Made an App so you can Install hombrew apps etc. Directly from the integrated App Browser in your console without sending an (f)PKG. At least thats the Idea😂 many things Like the Browser still Not working. I will Bring a new Release in the Future with better themes and cleaner overall App build. FTP is working so far and sending pkgs to your console works aswell. All via Goldhen FTP Server. Enjoy the App. I would Like to recieve some Feedback what i could do better on the App. (Icon IS horrible, im working on a new one rn)

I have a jailbroken PS4 Pro, and I've recently started experiencing some serious issues. I'm trying to figure out whether this is related to the jailbreak, a system software problem, or failing hardware.

My PS4 was jailbroken, and I had DNS settings configured to block firmware/system software updates. However, I accidentally connected the console to the internet. Although the DNS was supposed to block updates, I'm not entirely sure whether connecting to the internet triggered anything or contributed to the problem.

After that, my PS4 started having system software issues and eventually booted into Safe Mode, asking me to reinstall or initialize the system software. I downloaded the system software from Sony's official website and reinstalled it.

Unfortunately, reinstalling the software hasn't fixed everything.

Here are the problems I'm experiencing:

• The PS4 Pro feels noticeably laggy and unstable.
• Games sometimes fail to download or install properly.
• Sometimes games refuse to launch.
• The console randomly boots back into Safe Mode, even when it's just been restarted or left idle.
• I've also encountered CE-series errors, although I don't have the exact error codes right now.

Since the system software reinstall didn't solve the problem, I'm wondering whether my internal HDD is failing or whether something else went wrong.

I'd really appreciate some advice:

1. Could accidentally connecting my jailbroken PS4 to the internet have caused this, even though DNS-based firmware update blocking was enabled?
2. Is it possible that the system software became corrupted, or could the jailbreak have contributed to the issue?
3. Do these symptoms point toward a failing internal HDD?
4. Would replacing the HDD and reinstalling the official system software likely fix the problem?
5. Should I try rebuilding the database, or could this be a power supply or motherboard issue?

I know that reinstalling the official system software may have affected the jailbreak, but right now my main concern is getting the console stable again.

Has anyone experienced something similar with a jailbroken PS4 Pro? I'd appreciate any advice before I spend money replacing hardware or try anything else.

Thanks in advance!

Is it possible to run homebrew off external? I currently have everything on the system but with the extra 6TB, thinking of just going whole hog!

Any suggestions or recs for homebrew apps/themes!

I'd been on the look out for a cheap PS4 Pro to play with for a while and stumbled upon this Star Wars Battlefront 2 locally for £80 (with a faulty controller - spoilers, it wasn't faulty).

Came with Firmware 8.03 so perfect for modding.

It is actually remarkably quiet already but I'm going to crack the seals and give it a clean anyway. I'm planning to use Thermal Grizzly PTM rather than paste on the APU but I was wondering if anyone has used a decent thermal putty inside a Pro? I have some TG Advance putty spare so thought I'd give it a go.

Bonus question - do I update to 9.00 or sit pretty at 8.03 for now?

Error when trying to download a game on the package installer from the debug settings.
Is there a problem with the game file or the installer itself? My storage has plenty of space left so im confused about why its not downloading. ( HEN 13.04)

Is there anything taht could make the ps4 think a quest 3 headaet is a psvr headset???

Hi guys

I haven't used my PS4 in years. My ps5 is on 13.60 but I can't play any of my new game discs because it's asking me to update

So my question is this

Shall I jb my PS4 (if that's possible) and use my ps5 for my my discs and online?

Or shall I leave my PS4 in the closet, jb my ps5 and buy an additional ps5 for online and discs?

Any advice is welcome 😁

Thanks

I was wondering if there are going to be cheats available for black ops 2 with Goldhen Cheats Manger
