Running the exploit (overview)

⚠️ High-level overview for legal homebrew, not a step-by-step exploit walkthrough. Follow the current tool instructions for your exact firmware; proceed at your own risk.

    Check your version is supported; do not update.
  2. Prepare the host
    Set up the entry point (local page or USB payload) per current instructions.
  3. Trigger the exploit
    Run it from the PS4; it temporarily unlocks the system. Expect a few tries.

    Once unlocked, load the homebrew enabler.
