Alternative Method of Jailbreaking - Self hosting

For who is this method?

• This method will allow you to completely stay offline and create your own host website for your jailbroken PS4.

Self-hosting

• Self-hosting involves cloning a website then running it locally using your PC as the server.
• If you have DNS ISP problem this most likely wont work.
• First, find a host you want to clone. Examples:
  • Karo’s 9.00 and lower JB host
• Download and install/unarchive:
  • XAMPP
  • Python
  • FakeDNS script
• Run XAMPP and open its control panel. Select Start so that Apache can turn green.
• Open a cmd and run: ipconfig to find your IP Address (IPv4 Address). Take note of it.
• Put fakedns.py to the folder C:/Python27/
• In the same folder create a .txt file and write:
  • A manuals.playstation.net IPADDRESS - replace IPADDRESS with your IP Address you took note of.
• Save the file and rename it to dns.conf. Make sure its a .conf and NOT a .txt file
• Back to cmd, run the command: fakedns.py -c dns.conf . This will start a fake server.
• On the PS4, navigate to Settings > Network > Check Connect to the Internet, then Set Up Internet Connection and:

Connection: Wi-Fi or LAN cable
Set Up: Custom
IP Address: Automatic
DHCP Host Name: Do Not Specify
DNS Settings: Manual
Primary DNS: YOUR IP ADDRESS           - Explanation: This DNS will redirect you to the host.
Secondary DNS: 0.0.0.0
MTU Settings: Automatic
Proxy Server: Do Not Use

• On your PS4, navigate to Settings > User’s Guide/Helpful Info > User Guide. Take note of the address it tries to load. It should appear like this:
  • http://manuals.playstation.net/document/region/ps4/index.html - Take note of the region code. Could be “Ca” or “en”, “eu” etc.
• Back to the PS4, go to C:/XAMPP/htdocs/. Create folders that will copy the website structure before noted. It should look like this.
  • C:/XAMPP/htdocs/document/region/ps4/ - again replace region with your own region code.
• In the final PS4 folder copy and paste the host cloned before (no archive).
• Back to the PS4, navigate to Settings > User’s Guide/Helpful Info > User Guide and the new host should now load.
• Select firwmare and jailbreak using GoldHEN.
• Done.

Final notes

• Your PC must be running first time including the XAMPP Apache start and fakedns.py script. For hosts with caching, you need to do this only once.

Congrats, you have now jailbroken your PS4!

• Now that you have successfully jailbroken your PS4, why not take look at what you can further do, such as Games, Updates and DLC and Hacks and Homebrew .
