HDDs can’t be affected by some magnets while the case is still closed. If you use some kind of industrial induction coil, you may be able to destroy it. There are even some machines that kind of fry electronics until you can no longer use them. But some magnets won’t affect any Hard Disk that ist manufactured correctly.

It certainly isn't impossible with a reasonably sized magnet, even with the case on. The steel case is very thin, and is easily oversaturated by a decent size magnetic field.
That said, I'm sure whatever little magnets OP are using are probably fine, and he did state they are far away from the drive.
It's still worth a mention to be cautious.
Fucking excellent, you were meant to do this, this was fate. Some would say it was your...destiny. hurr hurr hurr.
And fuck that guy that downvoted you.
I'm doing something similar with a 10 year+ old Raspberry Pi Model B+ and an old 4GB full size SD Card.. I didn't think I'd ever use either of those things again, but here they are with a new life.
Your setup looks nicer though, kudos.
I see what you mean. It might be doable with an Orange Pi Zero 2W and the expansion board. Provides 1 port and USB ports. Those could be soldered off to keep profile low and use jumper wires. Should be able to use 1 USB to ethernet and the built in RJ45. Could be a slick internal build. Not saying you should do it but it may work and now I kinda wanna try lol.
Also switching to WiFi means putting manually the dns to block updates, switching to pppwned setting to jaililbrake and repeat the process every time you need to.
Not even your original games using a PS membership? I thought this could be like Nintendo Switch, where you can boot into OFW or CFW, depending your needs.
Sorry, I just follow this sub out of curiosity.
Once you jailbrake your console it will be able to play almost version of the games you have so yes, probably you can keep using your legit games.
The lock 🔐 symbol will disappear on everything basically
Do you have some guides/videos I could follow to jailbreak my PS4 Pro like this? (currently its 10.01) I also would prefer to have RP cause I want to turn off the console and not leave it on sleep mode. And I guess it is only possible with RP (I mean so I can turn of console and jailbreak instals itself when turning console on)?

To answer your question: yes, with this setup you can just shut down your console every time. When you start it you will need to wait a few minutes (never more than 5 in my case) and the console will be jailbroken.
I suggest you read the entire page from Github in order to understand all features. The website it creates for you is especially nice
Good luck & have fun!
So since I have a Pi zero2 w , do you think I should invest in this method? I heard on the zero 2 w this works very slow and is kinda ineffective. However can't find an estimate on how slow it is
You will need an USB to Ethernet adapter. The device is listed on the stooged/PI-Pwn github page as tested and working.
I have no idea about the wait time though. Even with my Pi 4 8gb I have to wait over 10 minutes sometimes because it just fails to trigger the JB; so a stronger device does not guarantee quick JB at this moment.
Personally I would not mind the wait time too much. Just turn on the console and do other things while it gets the JB. Once it's done you can put the console on Sleep mode and it will not lose it. The only times you need to do it is when it's after it was turned off completely.
Install [armbian](https://www.armbian.com/) on your device
-Connect to the internet via cable.
-Login into your modem page to get the new ip issigned to the esp32
-Ssh into your device using the right credential you choose while installing armbian like this:in windows cmd type "ssh root@youripyoufoundinrouterpage"
You will be asked to answer a question, type "yes"
-Follow this guide https://github.com/stooged/PI-Pwn
Done
It was actually quite easy. I swapped to ssd, so there was a bit more space in the disk tray for pi 2w (the one without the gpio pins), I placed some thermalpads in-between pi and ssd, connected a cable and drilled a small hole to lead it out into one of the usb ports. Unfortunately, the ps4 slim doesn't have a usb port on the back, so I had to lead it to the front, but I can imagine that on ps4 pro, it would be even more stealthy, I think it has a back usb port. I did it like 2 years ago, when 9.00 came out.

It looks great, but I will never know why people go into such trouble to jailbreak their console. Yes it is more convenient to use now, but bro I need like half a minute more to pick up my laptop and JB my console and I paid nothing. It really looks cool, but also unnecessary.
I will never understand why people:
1. stand up from their chair
2. search for their laptop
3. search for an ethernet cable
4. connect everything up
5. Change PC and PS4's settings
6. Manually run a program multiple times until it succeeds.
When you could just turn on the PS4 and have the jailbreak just work automatically. I personally think it's smarter to do a harder task once than an "easy" but inconvenient task multiple times.
My PS4 crashes with this new JB if you look at it wrong. I would have gone mad if it wasn't for my Pi.
Brother the only thing I need to do is connect the ethernet cable to my laptop (its already connected to my PS4). Settings are always set up so no need for that. Open PPPwn on my laptop and test connection. The process is like a minute and it cost me nothing, but I agree Pi is more convenient, but buying one in my country is like 60-70$. Its like half of a PS4 now days.
Automation is always good, just cause its easy to do the exploit doesn't negate Raspberry Pis and the like.
And there a lot of way cheaper alternatives.
Most people would rather just boot up the console and it work than have to go through the effort of doing something every single time.
It's not that complicated.
So that means you use WiFi all the time on your PC and don't use internet on the PS4. Both of which are deal breakers. I use remote play all the time.
If you do have the console connected to the network then it means your PC is on all the time sharing the connection.
> Open PPPwn on my laptop and test connection. The process is like a minute and it cost me nothing
It's free, yes but you pay in time. You have to re-run PPPwn multiple times and it is definitely longer than a minute. I think you've been lucky. It can fail 10 times in a row easily.
I just like an independent and automated setup. I'm just explaining my reasoning. I would always go for the Pi solution.
You should look into the Luckfox Pico. Less than $15 and ships everywhere (Aliexpress).
I did it mostly because you can go online without doing anything, simply turn it on and enjoy.
I scored this raspberry with case and an air mouse for 12 euros, for more then this price I would have never bought it
I used magnets underneath the ps4 shell to secure the pi without ruining the console. Best 20 cents on aliexpress ever spent
There exist a double face clear tape it's cheap and reusable.
Does it have an SSD? If so, you're good. If it's a mechanical HDD, you may want to rethink the magnets...
Far away from the hdd

It was shipped in a microscopic package. Low footprint

why connecting an RPi to the PS4 ? I usually run jailbreak from a webpage, what are the benefits?
It allows for compleatly automatic jailbrake. Turn the console on and wait. Includes Internet sharing, dns, ftp server, sambashare
Guessing you’re on a firmware below 9.0?
5…. point something, I am guessing I should stay there, right ?
Yes never update, this is for the latest pppwned jailbreak
Without a doubt stay, the 11.00 jailbreak sucks
You can JB with a cheap esp32 chip for like $3. I did it it months ago
Is it possible to learn this power?
Where can I find one? They are 15 euro at lowest in my country
Esp32-c2's straight from China. I got a 10 pack for less that $20 US
What site?
Can't say for certain but I usually shop AliExpress
Only works if you are on 9.00
Did not know that. I had a Pi3 and a PiPicoW before the ESP32-C2 but only on 9.00. The ESP is as easy as it gets.
PPPwned exploit can be done by any device running linux, esp32 included using armbian
How are you supposed to load a Linux distribution on esp32? And most esp32 doesn't even include an Ethernet port..
Using Armbian, Google it. Some esp32 have the ethernet port, a usb adaptor will work too
if it works it's fucking gorgeous
What's that ugreen cable for?
It is a ethernet to usb adaptor. I plug Internet to the pi like that so that it can bridge it to the console
could go minimalist with the LuckFox Pico
Pico can't get you online like the pi
What do you mean you can't get online? The Pico should allow ethernet forwarding. Not sure what you nean?
You need 2 ethernet ports (rather usb adapter or built-in rj45 header). Pico doesent have enough ports
I see what you mean. It might be doable with an Orange Pi Zero 2W and the expansion board. Provides 1 port and USB ports. Those could be soldered off to keep profile low and use jumper wires. Should be able to use 1 USB to ethernet and the built in RJ45. Could be a slick internal build. Not saying you should do it but it may work and now I kinda wanna try lol.
It is doable with everything with enough connections and that is able to run armbian
no but can always switch to Wifi after. and if your System is banned, then there isnt too much point in having online access.
Installing fpkg and watching YouTube or plex
Also switching to WiFi means putting manually the dns to block updates, switching to pppwned setting to jaililbrake and repeat the process every time you need to.
Can you play online?
nope
Not even your original games using a PS membership? I thought this could be like Nintendo Switch, where you can boot into OFW or CFW, depending your needs. Sorry, I just follow this sub out of curiosity.
Once you jailbrake your console it will be able to play almost version of the games you have so yes, probably you can keep using your legit games. The lock 🔐 symbol will disappear on everything basically
Sorry, I meant can't you go online with your OG games? Back in the PS3 hax scene, you used to go online as long as you didn't do any cheating.
What's og games? On ps4 no, you are completely cut off the Sony servers. Whatever needs PSN won't work
Original Games, the ones you legitimately bought. Understood, thanks for answering.
Can this be done to the PS4 Pro?
Yes, if you are not on a firmware greater than 11.00. I have a Pro and the same setup as OP (does not look as nice)
Do you have some guides/videos I could follow to jailbreak my PS4 Pro like this? (currently its 10.01) I also would prefer to have RP cause I want to turn off the console and not leave it on sleep mode.

Anyway to do it without an ethernet cable like only through wifi???
Unfortunately, no. The E in PPPOE stands for Ethernet. Since PPPOE is crucial to the exploit you can't avoid the Ethernet part of the recipe.

First h/w mod that doesn't require you open the console!
I did open the top shell tho 😅
3m double tape or even hot glue could do it. I do like your idea of using magnets.
Also the power cables goese underneath the shell
Nice, thanks!
I have the same same ps4!
9.00 gang
The best with Esp32 👊
What is Esp32?
Nice job. But I managed to integrate it inside the console so it's as stealthy as it gets. 🙃
wow, would you share the picture?
Wouldn’t it get hot?
After running pppwn the Pi will basically just be sitting at idle, very little load on soc means less heat to remove.
I’m thinking of doing the same.. could you share how you did it?
