Reason: Needs cleanup |
This project aims to set up a local web host with USB emulation on select Raspberry Pi boards. These boards can be used to exploit and jailbreak PS4 consoles running firmware version 11.00. The eligible boards include Raspberry Pi Zero W, Pi Zero 2 W, and Pi4 B, as they support a USB on-the-go (OTG) gadget mode. This feature eliminates the need to manually insert and remove the USB stick required in the exploit process. The project is implemented on a clean Raspberry Pi OS (Debian) install, making it easier to repurpose the Pi to run additional applications and services.
The project was developed and tested on Raspberry Pi 4 B, but it should also work on Pi Zero W, Pi Zero 2 W, and Pi4 B.
Benefits
- Clean Raspberry Pi OS install: Makes it easy to set up the Pi for other purposes as desired.
- Easy updates: Exploit, GoldHen, and payload files can be easily updated from the web interface.
- All-in-one device: Serves as a local web server and provides USB emulation.
- Single USB cable: One USB cable is sufficient to power the Pi and emulate USB.
- Permanent connection: The Pi can be left permanently connected to the PS4, eliminating the need to remove and plug in a USB stick to run the exploit.
Instructions For PS4
PS4 Setup
- Go to Settings and then Network
- Select Set Up Internet connection and choose Use a LAN Cable
- Choose Custom setup and choose PPPoE for IP Address Settings
- Enter ps4 for both PPPoE User ID and PPPoE Password
- Choose Automatic for DNS Settings and MTU Settings
- Choose Do Not Use for Proxy Server
Pi Setup
- Download and burn image onto a 2GB or larger micro SD card
- If exploiting FW 9.00, navigate to the boot drive on the SD card and change contents of
pppwn-cpp.txtto900 - Insert the micro SD card into a Raspberry Pi
- Optional - Connect the Pi to your WiFi (easiest using
sudo raspi-config). Then power if off. - Download and extract GoldHEN PS4
- Copy
goldhen.binto the root of an exFAT formatted USB drive - Plug the USB Drive into a USB port on your PS4
- Connect the Pi to your PS4 via an Ethernet cable and power on both devices.
- Wait for notifications confirming GoldHEN was loaded. This should happen within 2-3 minutes depending on how many attempts are required for that instance. If nothing happens within 5 minutes of boot up, I recommend restarting both the Raspberry Pi and the PS4.
Notes
- This Jailbreak is for PS4 running software versions 9.00 and 11.00 only.
- Tested on Raspberry Pi 3 Model B
- If you followed step 4 above, your PS4 will have internet access which may result in your PS4 updating it's system software. You have been warned.
- After the first successful load of GoldHEN, you do not need to repeat steps 4 & 5 for subsequent runs on the same PS4
- SSH username is

- Better handling of exception when PS4 crashes during exploit
- Handle if exploit halts or hangs
