Unable to load Goldhen on 9.00 PS4
First of all I would like to thank anyone who's taking the time to read my post, I hope someone can help but even if not I appreciate any feedback
Situation: I have ps4 pro that is in firmware 9.00, I disabled auto update, I logged off from ps network and I configured the alazif DNS, I also downloaded, and wrote the chebdochap image on my USB drive but the system just doesn't load the exploit (I've seen a dozen of videos and an even greater number of web pages trying to understand the process, including official sources)
Things to note: i do have access to the internet from the console using the DNS, I'm able to load any of the hosts (I tried the alazif, knightking, and various others) I get to the message when in need to insert the USB drive, I insert the drive but always result on a message stating that the exploit has failed to load, I downloaded the image at least 5 times and from different sources (including the official website) I tried with 3 different USB drives multiple times (even one of those microssd to USB adapters) but I always get the same results (I write the image with win32 disk imager on windows 10).
Famous last words: at this time I don't know what else to do, it's there something configuration wise that I could try?, I know I could try injecting the payload from the pc through the network/ip but I would like to try anything possible to load it from usb
Update 01: I removed any trace of external hard drive ever connected to the ps4, I re downloaded the img from official source given in the comments, I wrote the image using other software (balena etcher and tried with Rufus but says the image its not compatible), still the same result, would disabling the dns make any difference? (don't want to risk an update) THE PLOT THICKENS
Update 02: i did the clean boot (don't know if completely unplugin the console from the outlet it's necesary) i also opened playroom after trying the exploit (just to try again), still no success i will try with a couple of other USB drives that a friend it's going to lend me, i still need to try the back usb port (i didn't do it yet because its kind of a cable mess in there) and also have to try writing the image with ruffus, will keep you guys updated so others with same problem can hopefully have a solution
Update 04: I tried all of the above multiple times without success but I still WAS FINALLY ABLE TO INJECT THE PAYLOAD (Goldhen) and only worked with PS4RASPBERRYPI, I don't know why but none of the other methods work for me but with this it worked in the first try, I'm still trying to configure other stuff available in that method (like the automatic injection script) but in general this worked, I wish I could just use an USB like the rest but at least I have access to the exploit now
