THIS IS AMAZING!! Is there an ETA?

Edit: If not that's fine!! Still hyped!

@Evilnat posted on twitter about 20 hours ago that CEX, DEX, PEX n D-PEX versions are already created and are tested. Now he's making nobd, nobt, nobd+nobt and overclock variants, so hopefully we'll see new CFW in a few days.

I'm on hfw 4.89 I'm using the update list method along side webman mod to spoof my firmware and get online without updating.
How safe is this method? I mean I haven't been caught but will I?

No one can give you an accurate answer, only Sony knows for sure.

However, It's believed to be a good way to be flagged for a ban,
Even though it works your still showing Sony your on 4.89 FW
When your console should be 4.90, so there is potential for a ban for sure..

Personally i would just wait for proper 4.90 support it will come.

As long as your model is CFW compatible, yes.

According to
@xXEvilnatXx's Twitter, the 4.9 CFW byEvilnat is done. has been sent to testers and various versions will be released in the coming days, stay tuned.

 

[HENrietta]

Can I update to 4.90 OFW to play online and just install HEN again later when it releases? There is no exploit patched in 4.90, correct?

 

[Thoth]

Are there any plans to make a dual-boot firmware like Littlebalup's for 4.90?

 

[sbp]

As long as your model is CFW compatible, yes.

I see you now have dev status. I hope that means that the work you have talked about will also see release soon.

 

[PLAYER 1]

Please, dont forget a DUAL BOOT flavored, guys ... thanks for all.

How do I sign up for beta testers? I can check on multiple devices with logs.

That depends on what hardware you've got and what software (debug output) / hardware (Syscon UART, hardware flasher) tools are installed.

Most software based solutions are already used during development, but hardware ones are somewhat rare and highly valuable.

YouTube recommended me some videos about 4.90

People sharing a lot of missinformation such as:

Sony removed features.
Sony improved game graphics.
Sony downclocked the fw to force people buy PS5.
Sony patched the system to remove any chance of CFW/HFW.
The system performance got worse to discontinue the console.
Games run slower with more frame rate drops.
Games run faster as sony claims that the system update improves the system performance.
The firmware is bricking a lot of consoles.

and etc.. what's going on with those people? everything for likes and views? C'mon

The claim in bold made my day, ha ha ha!.

Amazing, in plain 21st Century we are in the most ignorant and uneducated of times (not even the Dark Ages come close to the current situation).
