Hello!

This program, a micro version of my PS4 NOR Validator, is designed solely to validate and repair the WiFi/BT module of your PS4.

How do I know I need it repaired? Well if your controller does not sync anywhere but the safe mode menu then your module is corrupted. Note: If your controller does not sync in safe mode, this program is not for you! You have a southbridge/usb port issue. Note: If your module is VALID but there is still no controller sync anywhere other than safemode, you physically need a new module (match it based on its revision).

I have included a small sample of VALID patches for you to use, but you may have to source more yourself. Just place them in the /Patches/ directory with any file name.

If your patch isnt listed and you enjoy risk, my program will allow this. You can patch a mis-matched firmware for your WiFi/BT module. Doing this will wipe c0020001.bin and its header from your PS4's NOR entirely and replace it with whatever you have chosen. I recommend you stick with the correct Torus version, which will be displayed on screen. Slim & Pro models are generally Torus 2.

If you hate risk but still want to patch, simply ask around for your matching patch file. Just quote the file size.

I will add any new patches to my program in future revisions.

As of version 1.3.8 there is an ability to upload dumps directly to me. I use these to improve the program and validations. Abusing this service will result in your ban from future use of my validator. Mislabling files that are clearly corrupt as working will result in a ban.

Regarding Anti-Virus:

I protect my program with Themida. The problem with this is that heuristically some AV software see it as a threat. This is because people who make or redistribute old malware also use Themida to help make themselves undetected.

Ultimately, it is up to you to trust the program and me. I encourage you to upload to a sandbox to see for yourself.
