PS4 Controller Sync NOR Flash Corruption Repair 2/3 - Installing Teensy + Software Pre-Requisites
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- This video is part 2 of a 3 part series detailing the repair of the PS4 Controller Sync fault when caused by a corruption of the Flash-Main IC rather than a fault caused by a physical failure of the Bluetooth / WiFi module.
In part 2 of this series we cover how to install your new programmer hardware within Windows so you can start dumping and re-programing your PS4 NOR device.
To do this you will need to download the following:
PS4 Ac1d Flash Tool:
github.com/cfw...
Python v2.x:
www.python.org...
PySerial:
pypi.python.or...
TeensyLoader:
www.pjrc.com/t...
SPIWay
github.com/hju...
OTHER PARTS TO THIS SERIES:
==========================
Part 1 - building the programming hardware can be found here:
• PS4 Controller Sync NO...
Part 1 - addendum for CUH-12xx series PS4s can be found here:
• PS4 Controller Sync NO...
Part 3 - Removing the NOR, dumping the NOR, rebuilding flash and re-programming NOR can be viewed here:
• PS4 Controller Sync NO...
thanks, what different programers i can use too?
like tnm series
I write command SPIway.py com4 info but I see error on screen .. line 52 print "closing serial device..." Syntax error: missing parentheses in call to `print`. Did You mean print("closing serial evice..") what doesnt mean???? sorry for my English, I`m from Poland.
Hi,
It suggests an issue with the installation of Python / PySerial. I'd uninstall them and redo the installation. Also, ensure your Teensy is correctly programmed.
hi andy thanks for upload this its v helpful
Is it possible to switch the faulty Flash with a good one from a other PS4 Mainboard?
Hello sir please help me my Ps4 5.55 how to downgrade
pulling my hair out..i installed all the programs and programed the teensy board but the port is not showing up in manage device.. need help
Can I buy this configuration directly from you? I have this problem and it'ss around 100euros for Sony to repair this because the warranty is out.
To buy all of these components + soldering materials for only one purpose and only to find out you still need to swap the whole BT+WiFi module is not worth the money and effort. But I would like to try the software part of the repairing.
Nice Tut Paul
Cheers pal.
Andrew Paul Do not be late with the third part
hola andrew, se puede utilizar un arduino nano v3 para la lectura de la nor, gracias
hello andrew, you can use an arduino nano v3 for reading the nor, thanks
Good video, but when programming the Teensy board, I needed to put the board back from 3.3V to 5V, in order to program it with teensy.exe. Otherwise with 3.3V, the program and reboot button, stayed gray.
Can't say I've ever seen that before with mine but good to know if anyone runs into this issue in future.
I had exactly the same problem, thanks ProConsoles ;)
Amazing you are the hero
Thank you
no worries appreciate the reply
heya, if it possible to do with with any teensy ? I have a teensy LC (works the same as 3.1 but with 3,3v i/o), so i was wondering if i could use that for this tutorial. Thanks
2.0++ only as far as I'm aware.
Well each teensy has there spi I/O and then gpio so since you can use the hex to tell how the teensy should fonction you should be able to use any teensy no? As long as you know what pin are the ones for spi and what are the gpio
Hey so I tested a second controller on my ps4 and it didn't work so do you think its the bluetooth module or do you think it's the wifi thing. Because thats what I heard could be the problem.
Hi,
There's no way to tell between firmware and the physical BT module until you take a look at the contents of the NOR chip. That's the first thing to check as it's quicker, cheaper and kinder on the hardware to lift and dump the chip to ensure the issue isn't there before spending on and needlessly replacing a module. So if it's not working with both controllers then dumping the NOR is the next step.
I'm really new to this can you elaborate. Are you basically talking about what you did in this video.?
How can I have like a specialist look at this because I just don't have the proper tool to remove that chip.
Oh and if I didn't flash the chip or dump the nor and I replaced the Bluetooth chip, Would it connect to the controller?
It wouldn't connect if the issue is firmware-based as firmware for the BT isn't held on the module - it's in the main system flash as per this video. Swapping a module when the issue is firmware based would result in no change in behavior. More often than not this is a firmware fault, not a module one.
Hey Andrew, dropped my ps4 last night and now I have the infinite flashing blue light. Do you have a listing and web site for your services?
Thanks
I don't look at CPBLOD machines these days unfortunately. They take too much time to diagnose than I can spare.
Cheers.
nice and thank you
Cheers.
I have an e3 flasher can it be rigged to do this in any way?
Not that I'm aware.
Hello i have a problem I can not erase the chip SA told me to write a protected error
Will this work for the CUH-2015A?
The procedure in Part 3 will - that's the same for all.
Teensy's are no good for anything past CUH-12xx sadly as SPIWay doesn't have any routines for the newer flash modules. A fairly generic USB chip programmer should work alright for these however then just follow part 3 to check and fix the dumps where required.
@@AndrewPaul right on bro! As always thank you so much.
for this year 2019 the programs still serve
For older consoles (1000, 1100 and 1200-series) yes. Newer consoles the procedure remains exactly the same, however you won't be able to use the Teensy to dump those newer NOR ICs - you'll need to use a generic USB chip programmer as SPIWay sadly doesn't have the routines for the newer ICs used in slim / pro PS4s.
@@AndrewPaul ok Thank you
to make the process must be in windows vista obligatorily
Works in any version of Windows as far as I'm aware. Certainly does in 7, 8, 8.1 and 10.
I need the 3.3volt controller that uses the teensy ++ 2, how can I do it with another regulator? Which one would you recommend?
hi andrew i have a playstation with a BloD problem...the fact is that the blue light blinks infinitly and the ps4 start to warm up. i only found fixes for consoles that turn on and then off. my ps4 also doesn't go in safe mode and if i hold down the power button after 10 seconds the playstation turns off. can u please help me i don't wanna waste 150$ (im not english im trying to do my best to explain XD)
I have a video for diagnosing the BLOD. I don't envy you with a constant pulser... good luck!
+Andrew Paul oh thanks i just saw it...i ll try to open it and check if the hdmi or something doesn't work but probably i m going to spend 150$ to repair it
If it's sealed send it to Sony.
+Andrew Paul i bought it 2 years ago
If anyone has FTDI chip based boards, i made a software to read/erase/write the ps4 nor, works with ftdi ft2232, ft232, ft4232, programmers like glitch360spi v3, Dangerous Prototypes Bus Blaster, Dangerous Prototypes Bus Pirate, arm usb tiny. I also added support for other programmers like serprog, works on windows strait using winusb drivers
You're a genius thank you you are the creator
nice, 3 3 3 3 3
Hi , can you turn on messages on Twitter ? I need your help !
Not sure how Twitter works to be honest outside the usual so might take me a while to get up to speed on there. What's the problem you're having?
DMs are now enabled on there if it's of a sensitive nature. Cheers.
+Andrew Paul Thanks , i will tell you the problem on Twitter .
hi andrew paul.
you have facebook?
Sure do - facebook.com/YTAndrewPaul/
