Hello, I want to ask how the games listed in the back port game thread are supposed to be installed. Is the method the same as 5.05 games or do I have to do something additional ?

Good idea for this thread! I have a question. I've read several comments of fpkg's compiled for firmware 5.05 are not working on the 6.72. Is this still the case? Or is this issue resolved?

There is plenty stable 6.72 Jailbreaks out right now... You need to update by USB... Download the 6.72 update file from SCE. PARTY. Then you need to have a fresh USB stick formatted to FAT32 then create a folder named "PS4" on the USB drive formatted as FAT32. Inside that folder, create another folder named "UPDATE".

Hi friends ,i need help...Im on 7.55 and want to downgrade ..please reply how to do?

Pretty sure you cant downgrade, but know 7.xx is being worked on. Al-Azif says hes working on 7.02 and i THINK 7.55. From what im hearing (been mia for a bit) seems anything over 5.05 seems a bit unstable, but as soon as al-azif updates his page should be a 7.55 exploit (I hope).
Think there is a server now for it but sounds like its running at about the same rate as 7.02.]
Im just waiting as we cant downgrade so will be testing 7.55 exploits as soon as they are released.

There are some good exploit pages but i personally prefer al-azifs as he doesnt want to put 7.5x exploit up until a little more stable.

was gonna update 5.05 to 6.7w but not sure if that is worth it unless itll play games you cant backport to 5.05.

Anyone feel free to correct me if im wrong.

Thanks

I have some psn purchased games on my ps4 which i have to jailbreak is there any issues i can get which i should know of? Is there any chance of my psn id getting blocked?

New to PS4 jailbreaking. If I do this, will I still be able to Livestream directly from the PS4? Would any homebrew like emulators able to be streamed from the PS4 through the share function?
