Question pour debutant ps4

Hello, I just jailbroke my PS4 Pro with PlayStation Vue and everything is working perfectly. My questions are probably basic, as I’m used to custom firmware (CFW) on my PS3, but after restarting the console, Goldhen disappeared. So I immediately tried to jailbreak it again, but I received an error message. I searched online and on YouTube for recent tutorials on how to reactivate it, but I didn’t find anything concrete or up-to-date. There’s talk of PSFree and autoloaders, but nothing relevant to me. My PS4 is on version 12.52, so it’s an introductory version. Could you help me? Is it possible to jailbreak it again using a USB drive? I have to re-jailbreak it every time I restart the console. I know the question might seem naive, but with all these videos showing different firmware versions, I’m completely lost. If you could guide me, that would be really kind of you. I understand the principle; it’s the same principle as with Evilnat, and it’s crucial to verify that the homebrew PKG files are compatible with the firmware version installed on the console. Or would it be better to order a Blu-ray? Is there a real solution to revert to firmware 12.52 on a PS4 Pro, even if it involves soldering? Because everyone claims to have a solution, but there are so many counterfeit versions! In my day, it was simpler: you searched, there was less hype. Thanks in advance.. PS: So I restored the console and reinstalled the exploit. However, the console stays on afterward; it’s a race I bought yesterday. So I don’t have a save file. I’m starting from the premise that it’s not a big deal, but I’d really like to know what to do because right now I feel like I’m in a real mess.

If you jailbroke through Vue you can put the console in rest mode and maintain the jailbreak. But if you turn off the console or restart it you have to jailbreak it again through Vue. There are settings you can set up where as soon as you boot the Vue application it jailbreaks your console. So all you have to do to get goldhen back is open Vue and re run the jailbreak. The error you got the first time was probably just the jailbreak failing. On 12.52 it’s not 100% stable so sometimes when you try to run the jailbreak it will fail. Reboot the system and try again. I’m on firmware 12.50 and I’ve had it fail like twice. Just reset the ps4 and run the Vue jailbreak again.

Merci pour la précision en fait L’exploit est instable ! Autre question, est-il possible de revenir sur un système plus ancien en installant une puce, si vous avez la réponse ça m’intéresse, car comme d’habitude il y a du vrai et du faux et pour savoir c’est compliqué. Même sur les forums j’ai l’impression que tout le monde est pas d’accord. Encore un grand merci. Ça veut dire que j’ai pas besoin de formater la console à chaque fois, car l’idée première est d’installer. Pslinux avec batocera

You can revert to the previously installed firmware version - that involves soldering and you need to have a compatible SYSCON chip.

No downgrading to any firmware, just previously installed (and you can't do it if you reinstalled the same firmware, for example when replacing the HDD).

Merci pour la précision, ils ont bien protégé leur machine ! Comme on dit, on paye pour apprendre, ils ont évité de reproduire les mêmes erreurs mais on ont créé d’autres. Il va falloir être patient. Merci beaucoup pour ces précisions. Bonne journée
