If you are not using the above pack, download the appropriate driver below.

Dumping/Patching Desolder your NOR chip from the board, if you do not know where that is or how to do it | suggest you discontinue this adventure early. Next is to solder the chip to a breakout board, as seen below. If you have a SOIC chip (it has little legs) then soldering is quite easy, just use heat If you have a WSON chip (the legs are not exposed, as pictured below) then you must mask off the ground pad with something non-conductive and heat resistant. | used kapton tape. Once it is on the breakout board, read the chip with whatever you have chosen to program it with Teensy using NORWay or a CH341A for example. hitpssrepaicwikiwPS4_UART_Guide 3 2iri23, 733 Guia UART de PSA - Wiki de reparacién Desoldered NOR, masked to avoid ground shorting on reader. Placing NOR on breakout board - NOR being read on breakout board (Masked to avoid grounding) Using the aforementioned software (Or nothing if using NORWay) dump the NOR at least twice and compare the MDS of each dump, you can use HxD or some other tool to do this. Generally if you have desoldered the NOR and put it on a breakout board there is minimal chance for failure. BwE NOR Validator (https://github.com/BetterWay Electronics/ps4-nor-validator) Next, using the BwE PS4 NOR Validator (https://github.com/BetterWayElectronics/ps4-nor-validat or), validate the NOR and patch it for UART. This can be done either at the end of the validation process or the start - choose your option in the menu provided. It is recommended to purchase hitpssrepaicwikiwPS4_UART_Guide 49 27703, 78 Guia UART do PS¢ - Wiki do oparacion BwE software if you plan on doing this as a shop as it makes everything easier. Writing Using the same software you used to dump the NOR start by erasing it entirely and then writing your patched dump. Erasing it seems to fix a few issues that may cause the BLOD in PS4's (and even some issues in the PS5). This makes the whole process longer, but it is worth it. Once this is done, remove the NOR chip from the breakout board and put it back on the console the way you found it. Ensure everything is clean and well presented Soldering UART Pins The only 2 pins you will need to solder is Ground, and TX. Before you start, ensure that the TX pin on your PS4 is indeed getting 3.3v on start up. If your USB TTL has jumpers, ensure that it is set to 3.3v. Attach or solder the ground and TX lines to the USB TTL and plug it into your computer. Do not use cable that is too thick or too thin. | generally just use jumper wires as they are easy to plug into the USB TTL device. hitpssrepaicwikiwPS4_UART_Guide 59 217123, 733 Guia UART de PSA4 - Wiki de reparacién UART pins for SAE-004 UART pins for NVG-002 hitpssrepaicwikiwPS4_UART_Guide 217123, 733 Guia UART de PSA4 - Wiki de reparacién UART pins for SAA-001 Assembly UART on a 72xx If you want to keep this permanent, ensure that your cables are long enough and you are able to route to the USB TTL while the case is closed. Make sure the pins are insulated when reassembling the console. Make sure there is no force on the wires. You can also choose to not re-assemble the console, just ensure that you have a heatsink on top of the APU and power it correctly. Serial Monitor (Actually reading the UART) If you want to be fancy you can use a cheap USB Logic Analyzer to view the UART output, but this is a bit much for beginners. 1 suggest using PuTTY _(https:/ivww.putty.org/) to read the UART output: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.htm! Run PuTTY and select Serial, input the correct COM port in the serial line (You can find out what yours is within Windows Device Manager under Ports (COM & LPT)). in speed put in 115200 which is the baud rate for the PS4 UART. hitpssrepaicwikiwPS4_UART_Guide 79 2iri23, 733 Guia UART de PSA4 - Wiki de reparacién Now hit OPEN and move on to the next step!

Solution: Replace all per-console chips with that from a donor board, Essentially get an entirely new working or partially working console and use it for parts. Best Solution: Swap active CoreOS with inactive, you need to patch the NOR and Syscon in order to facilitate this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=homMSYmwSUQ https://www. betterwayelectronics.com.au/#ps4sales https://betterwayelectronics.com.au/sce_syscon. html SAMU Enter/Leave hitpssrepaicwikiwPS4_UART_Guide ae 2iri23, 733 Guia UART de PSA4 - Wiki de reparacién Loops the message SAMU Enter and SAMU Leave.
