Tutorial on PS4 v9.00 Jailbreak with GoldHEN payload

The recent PS4 scene is now booming after the latest pOObs4 Jailbreak.

The newcomers are very confused about if they should run Jailbreak 9.00 on their fresh PS4 and most of them don't know how to inject the payloads.


For them, we have made a step-by-step guideline of how can they run the PS4 jailbreak from scratch to finish.



01. Upgrade your PS4 to 9.00

So let's get started.

First, check carefully if your PS4 is on firmware 9.00, if not upgrade to firmware 9.00.

But don't update to 9.03, cause once you are on 9.03 you can't go back to 9.00. Without 9.00 the Jailbreak won't run on your PS4.



02. Prepare the magic USB stick
Note: This step is only necessary once. you can use this USB stick every time you'll Jailbreak but you need to prepare it just for the first time.


This USB is a must cause with this you'll inject an important exploit piece of data. So you'll need a specially made USB stick for that, once you made you can use it every time you will jailbreak your PS4 9.00.

The image you'll copy in this USB is just a small image of 4MB, so don't panic a small USB will do.

1. Download the exfathax.img file from the GitHub site for the pOOBs4 Jailbreak.
2. Connect your magic USB stick to your computer. Don't rush to format it. The next step will automatically do it for you.
3. Download and install a program, such as Win32 Disk Manager, to write the image file to your USB stick.
4. Copy the image file that you just downloaded to your USB stick. For reference, here's a snapshot from Jailbreak's GitHub:

5. Your magical USB stick is now prepared!

Note your PS4’s IP Address
You must need to know your IP address to deliver the payload to your PS4.

So before getting started, take a note of your PS4's IP address.

Make a note of your PS4's IP address by going to Settings > Network > View Connection Status.

Run the Jailbreak on your console
Let's get started with the exploit now as your PS4 is on firmware 9.00 and you have your magic USB stick in hand.

1. Use your PS4's browser to connect to any verified host that has the exploit. This can be a private server that you set up yourself (you'll need to upload the Jailbreak files there) or one of the public hosts that we suggest. Two well-known public hosts are:

● https://cthugha.exploit.menu/ (by Al-Azif)

● https://kameleonreloaded.github.io/900/ (by Kameleon)

2. When you land on the exploit page, you will be guided with a loading screen.


3. If the first phase of the attack (the WebKit exploit) is successful, you will be asked to insert the USB stick.





4. Plugin the USB stick (but do not press the "ok" button in the dialog window!). On the upper left of your screen, a notification stating "This USB Device Storage's file system is unsupported" should appear.





5. When that notification displays, proceed to click "ok" on the dialog window. You should now see the message "Awaiting payload."




6. Your PlayStation 4 is now technically jailbroken. Take the USB stick out of your PS4.

Inject a Payload
Now you will inject the payload and for your kind information, it's an unsigned code that will run on your PS4. This is a small piece of code that is gonna dump some specific file from your PS4 firmware onto a disk or could run an FTP server on your console. Or in some cases, a full-fledged Custom Firmware like you see in GoldHEn or Mira.


Here we are going to inject GoldHen, but if you want any compatible payload will be okay at this stage.


Warning: Before injecting the payloads, just make sure you get them from trusted sites and you understand the process properly. Now at this point, you have full control of your PS4 but injecting any malicious payload can brick your PS4 permanently. So keep that in mind.

1. Confirm that your computer is turned on and linked to the same local network as your PS4 (this should generally be the case as long as your PC and PS4 are connected to the same router, and unless you have a complex network configuration at home).
2. GoldHEN (for firmware 9.00) may be downloaded from the official GitHub.
3. You'll need a method to deliver payloads from your PC to your PS4 using Netcat. You can use whatever program you like, however, we'll be using NetCat GUI from Modded Warfare.

Note; Please take note that the help image from the NetCat GUI below says that you should run the "binloader" payload. Technically, the jailbreak is already waiting for a payload, so skip this for now (after you're running, say, GoldHEN, you'll want to run a binloader from the PS4 to

accept other payloads).





4. Run Netcat GUI on your computer. Confirm that the IP address is that of your PS4, that the port is 9020, and that the.bin file for GoldHen that you just downloaded is loaded. Then select "inject payload."




5. If everything goes as planned, your PS4 should show that GoldHEN has been successfully loaded.





6. To ensure that everything is in order, head to the PS4's "Settings" menu, where you should notice GoldHEN:







7. That's all! Now, do some research to discover what cool things you can do with your jailbroken PS4.
