Thanks for this guide mate. Really appreciate it. However, i have a question. Whats the point of lifting that pin 22 (glitch pin) off the board? Would it interfere while using with teensy board if connected to the board?
The pin has to be lifted to glitch then you set the debug patch in the syscon .. once that has been done you can put the pin back .. then you use the pin 12 tool0 and 13 reset.. but should you over write the debug bit by accident you would have to lift the pin again.. so what i do is…. As i said in video .. when your ready to boot ps4 you can connect the lead from pin 22 to the 3.3v were the red lead was. Or if you have finished working with syscon just put pin back to pad…. I leave my home ps4 pin 22 on a link so i can pop link on which connects pin 22 to the 3.3v then should the debug get overwritten i pop link of and connect it back to the glitch pin on the writer…. Hope this answers your Q. If not let know
Hi, friend. My name is Manuel, I am a Play Station 4 video game console technician, we are currently working to solve the errors CE-35388 and SU-42118-6 which do not allow us to update the console because the renesas is wrong. We have managed to update by replacing the renesas but we want to go a little further and be able to read the renesas to extract the information like the nor. I need if you can help me how to read the ps4 renesas, we don't know what the renesas pinout is because we can't find any information and I hope you can help me. If you are interested, I can describe the entire process to be able to update with the other renesas. Thank you
If your talking about the renesas for the blue ray drive i dont have any , if your talking about the syscon its an78 g13 series chip info on renesas website..
steve nice tutorial it works great but i have a question i have teensy 4.0 can i use the teensy 4.0 also to read the nor chip ? or do i need order programmer
Does the pin need to be lifted at all times or can it be placed back once debug has been patched? A tutorial for that would be amazing, that part is really confusing me as there isnt much detail on that at all. Thanks.
@@Steve_be Thanks for getting back to me. Re watched this video, so my understanding is, lift the pin, wire everything up as included diagram shows, do 2 dumps to confirm working, if correct select the debug option in Sycon Process press start, let it finish, once complete I can remove the wire and put the pin back? Sorry, really don't want to go wrong on this part.
@@Doyle69 before you put the pin back you can run the unit by connecting the wire from the syscon pin to the 3.3v check its working then when you finished take the wire of and solder the pin back
what ever the firmware was on the unit before the last update, providing the Nor and syscon files are ok this is something we dont know until the files from the Nor and syscon have been dumped and checked
Steve thank you for this informative video especially for novices like me. Clear explanation and good demonstration. Cheers
Thank you i appreciate your words
Muchas gracias por compartir! Es muy valioso su esfuerzo, aprendemos.
Thank you for your kind words
Nice! Gramps, you always the hero we need 😉

@Steve_be No, I understood. Thanks a lot mate 😁 I really love these explanations! Thanks a lot for sharing this knowledge.
Steve great video for noobs like me and others. I appreciate all the effort that went into it. Clear explanation.

@@Steve_be ok thank you Steve
Steve you are the bees knees lol. Thank you for sharing
Thanks appreciated
Liked the Video Steve, thanks for that.
Steve could you change the APU, Syscon and Nor to a good board?.
i cant see why not you will also need the daughter board fro the original DVD unit whats wrong with board
@Steve_be via is ruined, so board is gone. Its a 9.03 trying to get it down to 9.00.
Got the syscon and nor dumps.
Thanks
@@spats6432 from those dumps you can find what it will downgrade to
@Steve_be I don't know how to read dumps mate, but I need a chip change to a new board to revert.
@@spats6432 got it, ill be making a video on dumping the NOR and using the free software soon
steve nice tutorial it works great but i have a question i have teensy 4.0 can i use the teensy 4.0 also to read the nor chip ? or do i need order programmer
That is being worked on, but you can use ch341a .. im just doing part 2 which is reading the NOR using a ch341a
@@Steve_be thank you steve i have order that programmer (ch341a ) for reading the nor now waiting for part 2 🙂 than
@@jengen3624 should upload later tonight
You can use a ch341A very cheap unit, just a bit slow..
Good work brother
Thank you so much 😀

Thanks.
It is in the part 1 tutorial.. but when you set debug you dont need that pin so connect it back..

Hi Steve mate hope you’re well
Im ok thank you just feeling my age lo;😂
Does it works on all firmware to downgrade???
