Whether you are a beginner or have experience with jailbreaking, this guide will provide clear instructions to ensure a successful setup.

Step 1: Prepare Your PS4 Settings

• Navigate to Settings on your PS4.
• Ensure that Automatic Updates is turned off to prevent the console from updating to a newer firmware version.

Step 2: Check Your Firmware Version

• To confirm your current firmware, go to Settings > System > System Information.
• Ensure that your firmware version is 11.00 or lower before proceeding. If it is higher, you cannot jailbreak at this time.

Step 5: Launch the Jailbreak

Step 6: Configure GoldHEN Settings
