PS4: Abkarino shares new approach for limitless account sharing

PS4 Hardware Hacker Abkarino has shared a “new” approach to trick PlayStation’s account sharing mechanism, permitting theoretically for the video games on a given account to be shared with an infinite variety of consoles.

PS4: Backup your Syscon for enjoyable and revenue

I’m saying “new” inside quotes as a result of the strategies used to allow this sort of piracy on PS4 have been round for a while, and are all variations of the identical approach (enabling sport sharing through the first console setting – an official PlayStation characteristic, however restricted to at least one pal you’ll be able to share video games with – , then making Sony overlook concerning the major console whereas retaining the video games).

This does require {hardware} manipulation of the syscon chip, so for those who had been anticipating a 100% freeware answer, sorry. (Look, if you would like issues the straightforward method, simply purchase a 9.00 PS4 second hand and hack it, that’s the true takeaway from all PS4 hacking articles today.)

From Abkarino:

#PSN activation manipulation” aka “Game sharing/account sharing/limitless account activation technique for my beautiful scene followers:

1. Add PSN accounts with video games to your console and activate it as a major console and obtain all video games that you really want from this accounts.
2. Power off your console and dump your SPI flash and Syscon 2 or 3 occasions to make certain that you may have an accurate dumps.
3. Remove the present HDD and set up new one and reinstall the identical firmware that you simply had once more.
4. Add similar PSN accounts that you simply had added in first step and deactivate this console from all accounts now.
5. Power off your console once more and restore your SPI Flash and Syscon dumps that you simply had made in step 2.
6. Replace the brand new HDD together with your unique one (essential).
7. Power on console once more and tadaaaaaa you may have activated PSN video games with out counting your console to these PSN accounts used 😉

Besides what’s described above, Syscon manipulation permits a number of cool tips on the PS4, particularly the likelihood to revert to a beforehand put in Firmware. This is much like a downgrade besides that you should have accomplished a backup beforehand. Modded Warfare did a very cool mod some time in the past for that.

So, though I don’t suggest enjoying together with your PS4’s motherboard when you have no expertise with a solder iron, if you realize what you’re doing, organising some “modchip-like” factor like MW did above could be fairly helpful to your hacking classes.
