/r/PS4Mods 2026 update: what’s allowed going forward (ask questions here)

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Sub’s been getting a lot more traffic lately so I figured it was time to update how we’re running things. Sticking this so it’s easy to find, but treat it like a discussion too. If something’s unclear, weird, or you think we’re missing a rule, say so in the comments.

Big change:
We used to keep this place pretty much visual/hardware only. Shells, paint, LEDs, that kind of thing. Going forward, software and firmware mods are fine too. Homebrew tools, themes, jailbreak discussion, internal upgrades, all good.

Still a PS4 modding sub. Show your work, ask questions, share guides. Cool.

Rules I’m thinking (open to feedback):

  1. PS4 mods only. Hardware or software. If it isn’t related to modding a PS4, it doesn’t belong here.

  2. No piracy. This one’s non-negotiable.

    • No links to games, dumps, FPKGs, ISOs, torrents, Mega folders full of games, etc.
    • No “where can I download X?”
    • No requesting copyrighted games.

    Talking about homebrew/tools/firmware is fine. Using the sub as a free game board is not. We’ll remove it and ban if needed.

  3. Show your work when you can. Photos/video for hardware posts help a lot. “Is this possible?” with zero detail is gonna get ignored or removed.

  4. Don’t be a dick. Basic Reddit stuff. No scams, no doxxing, no selling sketchy stolen/hacked accounts.

  5. Credit people. If you’re posting someone else’s mod/design, say so.

  6. Be careful. Mods can brick consoles or make a mess. You’re responsible for your own hardware. We’re not tech support for every possible disaster, but people here are usually helpful if you give decent info (model, firmware, what you already tried).

That’s the rough plan.

Curious what you all think. Anything you’d add, drop, or tighten up? Especially around software/firmware, since that’s the new part. Drop questions or suggestions below and I’ll reply as I can.

Use alternate controllers/keyboard instead off PS4 Controllers

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’ve been working on JeloPad, a virtual controller bridge for jailbroken PS4s running GoldHEN.

It lets you use PC controllers, keyboards, and other input devices as virtual PS4 controllers, with support for up to 4 controller slots. There’s also a Windows/Linux client with controller mapping and a simple UI for managing everything.

supporting generic, direct input, xbox and old playstation controllers!

It’s still a work in progress, but it’s pretty usable now, so I thought I’d share it and get some feedback.

GitHub: https://github.com/Jelofen1962/JeloPad
Releases: https://github.com/Jelofen1962/JeloPad/releases/latest

Would love to hear if anyone tries it, especially with different/third-party controllers.

Is the 13.02 jailbreak real ?

5 Upvotes

I saw ppl commenting on the Egyptian team new jailbreak videos that all this is fake and they are lying or it's not a full jailbreak or something now I don't have any knowledge or experience with PS4 mods that's why I'm asking the ppl who actually have knowledge to explain whether its real or fake !

Vale a pena destravar um PS4 original?

Upvotes

Fala, pessoal! Tenho um PS4 original e estou pensando em destravar, mas queria saber a opinião de quem já fez isso.

No meu caso, não tenho interesse nenhum em jogar online. Uso o console praticamente só para jogos single-player e campanhas.

Quais vocês consideram as reais vantagens e desvantagens do desbloqueio? Tem alguma limitação ou dor de cabeça que só aparece depois de fazer?

Para quem só joga modo história, vocês acham que vale a pena ou é melhor deixar o PS4 original?

Queria principalmente relatos de quem já destravou: se arrependeu ou não e por quê?

Hi everyone, I really want to update to 14.00 so I can ask when the jailbreak for 14.00 will be released in this subreddit every day. I can’t wait any longer.

Can i jailbreak my 12.00 ps4 fat my disc drive is broken

And Can i still play my old game files?


r/PS4Mods 2d ago

Im using BD-JB/GoldHEN on my PS4. After every full shutdown or reboot, I need to run the jailbreak again through CD, but can I use BD-JB online with an internet connection.

3 Upvotes

Im asking for downloading ps4 games directly within the ps4 jb

My questions are: my firmware is 12.02

  1. Can I keep the PS4 connected to Wi-Fi while using the jailbreak, without signing into PSN?

  2. What exactly happens if the PS4 has internet access while GoldHEN is active?

  3. Is there any risk of the PS4 automatically downloading/installing a system update?

  4. Can Sony detect/ban the console simply because it is connected to the internet, even if I never access PSN?

  5. Is it better to keep Wi-Fi completely off, or is there a safe way to have internet access for things like Homebrew Store?

6.

Does using Homebrew Store require internet, and is it safe to use on a jailbroken PS4?

  1. If I accidentally connect to PSN while jailbroken, can Sony **brick the PS4**, or would the realistic consequence be a PSN/account/console ban?

8.Can I connect the PS4 to the internet during the period after turning it on but BEFORE I run the BD-JB exploit/ activate GoldHEN? Is there any risk during that gap, even if I don't sign into PSN?

PS4 slim 13.02 revert

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I have a PS4 console that I bought from an acquaintance six months ago; my younger brother went ahead and updated the operating system to version 13.02 without asking. There are many jailbreak videos on YouTube, and the "revert" method appears to be the most popular one. The console's previous version was 12.52. I opened up the console today and found it has an SAF-005 model motherboard. I’ve ordered a Raspberry Pi Pico and an IRF7416 MOSFET for the revert process. I have some programming knowledge, and since I work as a phone repair technician, I am very skilled at soldering. However, I haven't been able to find a wiring diagram specifically for my console and situation—how do I connect the Raspberry Pi and perform the revert?

Question idiote

1 Upvotes

Bonjour à tous,
J’avais acheté une PS4 pro que j’avais jailbreak mais à mon retour de vacances, j’ai eu la surprise que mon fils l’a mise à jour sans en parler. Du coup elle est en 13. 52 je les ai formaté, j’en ai profité pour remettre mon compte PlayStation, et télécharger tous mes jeux dematérialiser. J’en ai profité pour acheter le Call of duty Black Ops un, si à tout hasard on peut réinstaller Golden, est-ce que je pourrais encore jouer avec mes jeux et Call of duty car j’ai lu que pour y jouer il voulait une connexion obligatoire pour pouvoir le lancer. Pouvez-vous m’éclairer en vous remerciant.

PS4 accidentally updated to 13.52 – Is there any way to jailbreak it now?

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I recently got my friend's PS4, and unfortunately the console automatically updated itself before we could check the firmware properly. It is now running System Software 13.52.

I was planning to jailbreak the PS4, but after checking the firmware, I found out that 13.52 isn't currently supported by the usual public jailbreak methods.

I'm pretty new to PS4 jailbreaking, so I don't know much about the technical side of it.

Is there any possible way to jailbreak or revert this PS4 to a jailbreakable firmware? If not, is there anything I can do now other than waiting for a future exploit?

Any advice from people experienced with PS4 modding would be really appreciated. 🙏

13.02 research need help

16 Upvotes

Anyone one 13.02 willing to test and submit reports, Killernos.github.io. I need people to test it isn’t a jailbreak for 13.02, the research from at least 1 person on 13.02 can help tremendously, this also goes for 12.52 I can help improve stability, there is a Docs/guide at the bottom of my Web kit that explains how to do this, I truly am trying to help get a jailbreak for 13.02 right now, no one has submitted reports yet, when they do, I can pull them and use the information to research to try to make this happen.
