PS4 NoBD Updater PKG by LightningMods

HW Method A - reusable

Works almost with all models (MTK is not confirmed)

  1. Find a working phat 12xx console (master)

  2. Unsolder Renesas chip (RC1) from it

  3. Unsolder dead Renesas chip (RC2) from your "NoBD" console

  4. Now install the working Renesas chip (RC1) to your "NoBD" console

  5. Assemble and update your "noBD" console via recovery. Console should be updated now without any issue

  6. Disassemble your "noBD" console again and unsolder Renesas chip (RC1)

  7. Return Renesas chip (RC1) back to master console

  8. Update master console to same FW (that it has) via recovery. This will "reset" Renesas chip (RC1) to be useable again

Notes:

  • Was tested with master console 1200 JP region

  • Master console had 11.00 FW

HW Method B - one time

Works with phat 10xx, 11xx and PRO models only

  1. Find a working drive daughterboard from any phat 1000, 1100 or PRO (e.g. from dead console) with FW lower than your current one.

  2. Unsolder Renesas chip from it and keep it.

  3. Unsolder your dead drive Renesas chip from drive’s daughter board.

  4. Solder the working Renesas chip on place of your original one.

  5. Install drive daughter board and install the drive to your console and update it either from dashboard or recovery.

  6. Console should be updated now without any issue.

  7. If you want to re-update it again you should repeat this steps.

Notes:

  • Donor chip should come from SAC-001 board.

  • It is better if you could find one with Renesas chip that made in Japan.

  • Because this chip have a special bootloader that help in this trick.
