Fix PS4 SU-41283-8 Update Loop - A Professional Repair Demonstration for System Software Errors
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 сен 2024
- This video shows the repair of PS4 System Software Update Loop Error SU-41283-8. In this condition the PS4 will not pull out of the system software update loop and will endlessly continue to attempt to reinstall the system software. Safe Mode can be accessed but the OS will always fail to reinstall.
This issue is caused by a corruption of the BT/WiFi firmware stack within the Flash_Main NOR IC or potentially a complete failure of the hardware module. In this video we repair the firmware corruption at hand, re-program our NOR flash IC and finally we're allowed to complete the firmware upgrade procedure and get back to doing some gaming.

Thank God for that mate, I'm ill in bed bored out of my skull. I've watched all your other videos.
Hope it helped mate lol. Hope you feel better soon!
Andrew Paul cheers Andy, I'm just watching Ben Hecks PS4 pro teardown.
Andrew Paul One big question! I have different update loop, but now console not working at all (only blue light). I checked it and problem is Main flash, every dump is different! All 13 :0
Only few differences, 4-5. Its 100% bad IC, it is possible to fix it somehow? :(
I flashed that dumps on another working IC but still nothing. IC must be corrupted then and keeps changing
+Gabriel Anacik Not good. Sadly as the dumps are encrypted there's nothing you can do - be sure any connections to the chip are solid - poor joints or dirty connections in a socket could cause mis-reading and affect the quality of the dump.
Andrew Paul
Really good work !! ive fixed mine today with your help !! i never thought that its possible.. thank you so much !!
thank you so much andrew, just used this video to fix a ps4 i acquired with this exact issue, only thing different is that i used a raspberry pi3 for reading and flashing the nor chip.
it is now working like a charm. cheers !!
Congrats and many thanks for watching!
What software did you use to extract the firmware?
@@arapozor just follow all the steps in the tutorial, I only used rpi3 to connect to the chip, rpi3 running raspbian
@@soothingandrelaxing7734 I'm also using a RPi to extract the dump. I used flashrom, what did you use?
Yay my ps4 is fixed :) great job buddy
Cheers mate :-)

If I already did this several times but I did not have good results always the same error, I will leave it filed for a while lol thanks a lot for your answers andrew thank you anything I consult you another day very grateful I am
Where are you located?
Thanks for your interest, I wanted to tell you I have a ps4 slim and when you are playing I get a poster that says I have several usb devices connected and freeza the image and it turns off, I already change the hard drive and still do the same, you would know to tell me What to do with that mistake?
sorry argentina
I've got 42118-6 but am getting the same results as you and the only option is reinstall. The hard drive is good and I've got the right update as well.
Andrew Paul, I have one ps4 with motherboard SAD-001 and module BT/Wifi AW-CB262 Rev 1.0, the console has the SU-41283-8 when installs the firmware Recovery 3.55
Andrew! Love your videos man!. Just wondering I have a ps4 which has a blod. What price do you think I can sell it for? Would you buy it?
+Paruthy Rajakulam I'd put it on eBay mate and see what it goes for. If it has warranty seals intact state so and photograph them - you'll likely attract more bidders and maximise it's value.
Thank you very much!!
If you have a NOR chip on a donor board and just about the soldering skills to take off and replace, could the donor chip be swapped in and then boot to Safe Mode to flash a new / latest / other firmware, or are there other contingencies / considerations that make that unworkable? Would a donor chip of the same FW level change that?
Hello, very good video. I would like to know if I can pair the console's bd reader with this method? I remember doing something similar in xbox 360.I don't have the original ps4 reader.
thanks
Hi Andrew, loving your channel. any ideas for SU-42118-6 error?
This is typically a BD-ROM drive error where the console cannot communicate with the BD-ROM. Check BD-ROM ribbon between motherboard and drive - if the tabs are broken on either side replace the cable and test. Also check connectors for breaks or corrosion. If no better, check and replace drive board fuses F501, F201, F202 and F203 where bad. Otherwise this may require Renesas IC swap to a donor board if all else fails.
Hello, I wanted to know if there is any way to identify if the failure is by module or by NoR firmware, thank. Perdón por la traducción.
hello andrew , so excuse my question but its a little bit hard for solved this question , correct me if I'm wrong
there is no way to change the ps4 apu without have the nor and other couple of chips?
many thanks in advance andrew , we are fans of your channel here in our lab
+Cesar Ortega Hello my friends. Indeed that's correct without a matching set of NOR/Syscon/APU and BD-ROM logic board it is not possible to perform a successful transplant. Greetings from the UK and glad you enjoy the channel. :-)
Could you tell me if this is also the case for error SU-30631-3? It's also a Software Update Loop, and the error comes at around 60% of the installation.
That's the error I'm receiving, I'm doing research and I will try it on my ps4
@@NigkonuN Did you fix that problem...? I have the same one
I have a ps4 in at present with a similar but different issue.
Customer stated that the console would randomly freeze and act weirdly before finally the software went so weird it wouldn't boot.
Now upon attempting to reinitialise, it states the file is corrupt (when it is not and it is the full 877mb file). This happens also if you try to download from the internet via option 3 in safe mode.
My theory is that there is a faulty ram chip somewhere, the file gets copied over to ram and then cannot be read.
Only thing I wonder is, would it be the standalone ddr3 2gb chip or one of the gddr5 modules?
hi Andrew have a question my Ps4 plays games and streams for a short amount of time then the Internet cuts and sometimes it make a noise and cut off or it'll just cut off i noticed it get hot on the middle right on the top so i took the top off and it still gets hot and cuts off of course its in a ventilated area i watched your videos none of them talks about that i dont think its a power supply issue . but i have gotten a corrupted file from cod so i wiped the whole system 3 different times worked for a little like a week and start to overheat and shut down again . I have the first year system 2013 or 14 please help
did you edit the update which is corrupt or what??
new number in hex you got from where??
hello matey how much do you charge for the nor dump and fix matey ive got a ps4 cuh 1216a
LOL left in the part where you failed lel you get a like for that.
Happens to us all lol ;)
Andrew Paul love your videos btw I find them very interesting and I am performing a hdmi port replacement in the coming days hopefully all goes well.
did you try the power cord method I did mine it worked after it shuts off the first time pull out the power cord for ten seconds and plug it back in worked like a charm bypassed the error.
Yeah I've heard that one but it's not kind on the hardware - this is the so-called 'safer' way (if there is such a thing with firmware) :)
i tried that it didnt work i also tried disconnecting the blue ray drive ribbon as some people have had luck by doing that too.
you sound like a professional. Could you please help me out? I really don't want to lose all the data on this device I've spent money on it. I'd be forever grateful if you did.
so my problem is:
I finish the update no problem. When it restarts however...it opens again in safe mode and loads a little bit saying "checking system storage status" then stops at 31% and says "can't open ps4. Connect usb for update reinstallation file for version 9.00 or later." I got on to the playstation website, installed the latest update file, and put it on a usb storage device following the instructions given in the website. I then opened the ps4 in safe mode (holding the power button until 2 beeps came out) and chose the third option (update system software). I then chose update using usb storage device. It reads it and downloads the update no problem and restarts and the whole things starts going on and on and on again! just a loop. I've tried the fourth option (reset default settings) but it just shows an error and shuts off the device. If you know a solution to this please, whenever you've got time, ANYONE, just reply with steps I should do. Thanks!
This could be a defective hard disk drive. Run it through something like Crystal Disk or HDAT2 and see what it pulls back RE: surface defects or bad sectors.
@@AndrewPaul Alright, I'll try that. Thanks for your time man!
My pleasure :)
@@AndrewPaul could you please help me with another quetion? Will my PSN account be deleted if I initialize my PS4? Thank you!
It will remove all data from the console and revert it to an out of box state. If you have your saves etc backed up to cloud storage then you should be able to recover them after signing back in, otherwise once initialised whatever is on the hard disk currently will be gone.
Hi, Andrew, love your videos. I have Slim PS4 with SU-41283-8 error (SAD-001 motherboard), however the NOR flash chip is a Winbond 25Q256FV (not Macronix), and when I try to read it with Teensy, it doesn't work (only gives manufacturer, and the rest is unknown). My Teensy works perfectly fine when reading MXIC chips, so I know it's not a problem, so I think there is just no support in SPIway for these newer Winbond NOR chips used in Slim PS4s. Have you come across these chips when fixing Slim PS4s, and do you know what tools to use to read it? thank you
Hi James, that would seem very strange as that IC is a 256mb chip. The slim boards I've seen all have the same Macronix chip to date as per the 1200. Do you have a photo of it at all? Cheers.
I've sent some pictures of it to you e-mail address. Let me know what you think, thank you
Very interesting mate thank you. Must be a new board revision - wonder what they're doing in there with a 256MB flash?
What BT / WiFi module does the board have installed? SPIWay does have support for an earlier Winbond 25Q-series flash - if we start seeing lots of these then we may need an update to the software. A standard USB chip reader will probably dump it - it's just a question of what's in the contents. If it's a pre-existing module on board then hopefully it shouldn't be too difficult to spot the C0020001 container within.
Same BT/WiFi module as on the other Slim boards I've seen, model J20H091 Rev. 1.0. If only I knew how to dump the chip to see what's on it
Do these same solutions work for the PS4 Slim as well?
thanx a lot for your effort, i have ps4 version 5.07 i updated by mistake to 6.71, if there is a way to delete ths pup file 6.71 and back to 5.07.
Sadly there isn't a way to downgrade at this time.
+Andrew Paul have you seen these where the FW corrupted itself from nowhere like during normal usage? Or most of these happen after system updates?
Also, are the different version of modules intercompatible, v1, v1.1, v1.2 etc?
More often than not it's after a software update, however I have seen it where a change to a persistent system settings change held in ROM has resulted in a corruption before now but only the once. Since 4.0 the modules have thankfully been interchangeable. You can also use a DHSM in place on an AW-NB218 and vise-versa.
Thank you very much, I've got this 12xx that I tried to replace the module, it was a v1.2 I used a v1.1 without success, when I try to restart the fw (controller syncs only at the system restore menu) it gives me the SU error. I will now try to repair the FW see how it goes. Thanks!
Hello Andrew Paul I need your help please my ps4 has su-41283-8 but when I read the 2 dum and they are not the same, first I have the file C0020001 corrupted that already I repair it but I have differences in core0s file of the 2 Readings and after repairing the bluetooth file program chip and still giving me the same error su-41283-8, I draw the attention the two readings of the flash are different and when I do the extrat the difference is in the core0s.bin file, Could you tell me what I can do? Thanks a lot andrew your videos taught me a lot but this I can not solve it lol
Where are you doing the file comparison? If it's within Ac1dFlash (as I suspect as you mention CoreOS differences) then don't use it within there - do the file compare within HxD on the orig / orig1 / orig2.bin dumps. If HxD says the whole 32,768kb files are different then redump them after checking connections to your NOR and programmer. If HxD reports files are identical then split them out in Ac1dFlash and patch the C0020001.bin if necessary.
Andrew do you know how to resolve this error su-30631-3? The ps4 boots up n begins to update immediately unfortunately it gets stuck at 64% Everytime and produces the above mentioned error. I'm in need of help
Hi, do you know how to fix the su-30676-2 error?
Hello Andrew, I am currently in the Safe Mode Loop on my PS4 and need some help. It went into Safe Mode one day when I turned it on, but before that there were no signs of any issues. I tried Option 3 "Update System Software" and it didn't fix it. I also tried doing "Restore Default Settings" and "Rebuild Database", but it won't let me do those because it gives me an error code SU-41336-7. I haven't been able to find much information about what that specific code means so if you have any idea I would really appreciate it. Also, I only want to try Initializing my PS4 as a last resort because I don't want to lose my data, so if you have any other suggestions at all I would love to try them.
Andrew my WiFi module has a ripped wire is this the reason for the error
Can I turn off the IDU MODE through it or the only way is through nor chip?
Good sr Andrew Paul, I have one ps4 with motherboard SAC-001 and module BT/Wifi AW-NB218 Rev 1.1, the console goes out the mistake SU-41283-8 when installs the firmware Recovery 4.00.
I have extracted NOR and well-read several times, patched the file C0020001 with the rev 1.1 and nothing, in spite of my efforts the mistake persists.
The module this damaged?
Thank you very much for his tutoriales, they are of great help.
A greeting.
If you'd like me to confirm your dump is OK then feel free to drop me an email with it attached to ytandrewpaul@outlook.com
Providing it's definitely good then yes a badly failed module can cause the error, but most often it's the firmware at fault.
Thank you very much, already I have sent a link with my NOR and the file C0020001 damaged.

Do you know how to fix the CE-3399-5 issue for PS4?
Hello, Andrew Paul! I have been busting my head with a Ps4 with su-35927-6 error. Do you think that it could be nor chip corruption? The board is SAB-001. I have been searching all over the net about info for this error but still no go. Firmware version is 4.07. Any help would be appreciated! Cheers!
It was definitely NOR flash corruption. Everything went well until I had to use AC1D Tool. It gave me an error saying it is not PS4 dump and something about invalid header. Then I opened the NOR dump with HxD and it turned out the "SONY COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT" sign on the first few rows was partially missing, so I wrote it manualy, checked all other bin files for blank spaces at least, and thought what do I have to lose. So soldered the chip, assembled the damned thing, put it into safe mode and initialized it. Well what do you know, it lives again!
Thank you Andrew for the detailed tutorials! Cheers!
Hello andrew I did the procedure for reading the nor flash from ps4, then I did the dump to compare with the file you had sent me, but I noticed that it is not corrupted with the FF bits. I was with 2 problems, did not synchronize the controls and also did not update software, I do not know what I do !!!!!!
+Marcelo Berti it doesn't necessarily get corrupted with FFs - any bit differences will cause the controllers not to sync.
Months ago you sent me a tamplates of the block of FW Wlan, I made the comparison and this same, however, you have your files with the model of MB SAC001 with version of FW 1.1 this yes is different from mine, I will do the following I will put This version and take the test again. Thank you, anything. I'll let you know.
Hello Andrew, that method is good for e-801809a8 error too?
Hi,
No this one is more accurate for that one - it's a very nasty error:

Andrew Paul, I have just solved with update with new software 5.01
Good to know.
hi, paul i need your help. i have done something wrong! which i am thinking. i was having SU-41283-8. i am in 3.55 firmware. and i can only install this version. i did take my nor dump in this version.. after this i did fix my nor with donor of the same version 443 template. but no luck same problem SU-41283-8 error. then i again reinstall 3.55 it goes perfectly but no controller sync. now what i did is without taking new dump, i did try new template and fix my nor.. but now i am having blinking blue light..can you please tell me what should i do noww.. thanks in advance
+Mohmmad Jewel blinking blue light is a sign of an invalid NOR. If you've used the wrong template and corrupted the containers you may well permanently brick the machine - let's hope that isn't the case here. Restore your original (stock) dump from before you patched it so it's back to its original condition - hopefully it'll boot. Send over your first original unedited dump and I'll check / patch it for you. Email is ytandrewpaul@outlook.com
that's a starting point anyway.Thanks. how about on and back off? same thing ?
Often a shorted rail, faulty surface mount like a bad FET etc or APU issues.
I am having the update loop issue and my controller won’t synch unless I connect another controller. Is it possible to replace the pieces rather than fix the software?
Sadly it's one of those where if the software is the issue, replacing the hardware will have absolutely no effect.
@@AndrewPaul I see, thank you so much for responding. I’ve always been intimidated by this sort of stuff but will watch your videos and hopefully figure it out!
my ps4 have endles plimping blue light and it do not go safe mode.what do you think the problem are

I have the problem that the result of the Raspberry is "ID: 0x000000 unknown" no matter what I do is always the same, I've checked the connections once and again and again with the diagrams and everything is right, could be possible that the chip is absolutely broken ?
It's possible but I've never seen or heard of it before so I'd say it's unlikely. Where are you located? I'd happily try and dump it here for you if you can send the IC across. Email me at ytandrewpaul@outlook.com if you need / want. Many thanks.
I am from Guatemala, I'm gonna send you an email explaining the process I have done and maybe you could help me, really really thanks
I'm working on a sad-001 it's stuck at 3.55 firmware. can't update because of firmware corruption. I've tried 4.00, 4.50 and 4.70 template but non works.
it won't update no matter what firmware I try.
I've replaced the bt module just in case but, the same result.
By the way, I can sent those sadxx templates if you want, some of them are the same for sac boards.
Yes please that would be great. Do you have your original dump from the SAD board? I'd be happy to take a look and see if there's anything I can do with it for you? Email me at ytandrewpaul@outlook.com. Thank you.
Andrew Paul OK. I'm on it.
Any idea about SU-34311-2?
Could you please fix my ps4 at a reasonable price? I'm almost positive I have this issue.
5 or 12v rail?
12v / 5v / 4.5v / 4v / 3.3v / 2.5v / 1.8v / 1.3v / 1.1v / 0.8v - could be any of them.
Thanks Sir plz make a video how we use CFW On ps4
Unfortunately unless you have a machine with firmware v1.75 or below it's not possible. :-(

Hello Andrew, I am facing the same error, is there any other way I can do, coz this is very technical and I am complete noob in this. Please share your valuable advice
Sadly not. This needs to be checked, and if all is OK then it will need the physical module to be replaced.

Andrew Paul This method will be work with ps4 slim CUH-2016B? I have a (SU-42118-6)error what to think thx a lot.
Did the controllers work in OS mode via Bluetooth when the machine was running?
Thx for fast answer Yes before the error work normall,but In safe mode I have only active last option for reinstalling system all rest no active .I heard may possible the bluray drive is faulty and I getting error.
I have the same problem, did you manage to fix it? @2016B
Does exist an Arduino tool useful for this work if I have no any Teensy or Raspberry ???
+Gerson Caal not that I'm aware of.
Couldn’t you just reformat the hard drive and reinstall the os or is this method to save all existing data?
The update won't re-write the corrupted data in flash (why it won't, I've no idea!) - if it completes, you'll still have the issue. More often than not though, the update will detect the corruption and throw the relevant 'SU' error thus sticking the console in an update loop. This procedure is necessary anywhere that NOR BT stack corruption is present. Hope that helps to clear things up.
Do u need only a pc for the repair.
I'm still confused! When I compare my file with a working one it still does the error I even replaced the blutooth and internet module. Andrew I need some assistance
Hi,
If the dump from your NOR checks out OK against the correct patch then you can be sure your issue isn't in firmware - that leaves two possibilities, either a defective replacement module or an issue with the installation. If the new chip isn't uniformally reballed then you can get it where some of the pads underneath don't contact with the motherboard and you'll still get this issue. Likewise if you have any cold joints beneath the new module you'll see the same problem. Good luck.
Can the NOR be exchanged by another console of the same type?
They can't - they're unique to each console.
Andrew Paul if I got a new hardrive or sad will this solve the problem
New hard drive, no.
The issue is likely down to an issue within the firmware chip on the motherboard. Occasionally it'll throw the error with a bad module however most of the time with a bad module it'll just not work - no errors. If you're UK based then we can likely repair it for you.
Andrew Paul yes I live in England how ever does it cost to do the first soloution
Belo trabalho..Like
what caused xbox one 3 blinks and off? This is common and I'm sure you have seen this many times as we have.do a video on this or what the cause usually is.thanks.
I don't get many XBOX One consoles in to be fair which limits the opportunities. Usually it's a bad Southbridge.
Just out of interest wouldn't it have worked if you'd just gone into safe mode & installed a newer working firmware?
Hi,
Sadly not. Anything less than v5.x and the console will not even attempt a re-write, it just leaves it corrupt and as-is. v5.x and onwards will usually detect the corruption and halt the upgrade with an SU-41283-8 error and cause upgrade loop until the corruption is repaired.
@@AndrewPaul had a feeling it wouldn't have been that easy but then I wouldn't be watching this video if it was lol very interesting though once again how you rectify & fix the problem 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you - I've no idea why it doesn't just force update it to be honest... it knows what revision of console it's being uploaded to and with the C0020001.bin container size being held in flash it should also be able to identify which stack it should be using (basically an automated version of what we manually do to fix things here) and overwrite from there but for whatever reason it doesn't. The cynical amongst us would suggest it suits when these machines end up outside their 12 month warranties - the newer SAE-based consoles are practically disposable the quality is so poor. Doesn't bode well for those new consoles going forwards - put it this way, I wouldn't be buying a new shop-bought slim now if you paid me!
@@AndrewPaul Think it's pretty bad that a simple failed update can basically make the ps4 an expensive paper weight, not forgetting the dodgy batch that had bad hdmi ports. Their loss is your gain though 👍🏻
Yeah it's not great! I don't think PS5 or whatever it eventually becomes will be any better either, sadly.
Does this also work with error SU-34311-3 or anyone have information about that error?

Have you got any broken hardware on your ps4? I just had to replace my optical drive so I could update to 6.02, apparently newer firmware does hardware checks before the installation and if anything is broke it wont update.

Hi Chris, It's not one I've ever seen to be honest. SU-37 typically refers to update file corruption so more likely to be storage / USB / RAM issues.

Well i hope its not RAM i currently have no RAM stencils 😅 And adding Balls by hand Isn't what i had in mind. I will Measure some values around The RAM blocks and compare too a good Working Board for any Discrepancies.
Everything Checks out with the RAM as far as I can tell. I've Ruled out If there is an issue with The USB Protocol by Updating via ethernet cable In Safe mode Exact same Error although the process bar does go too 24 Rather than 20 with a USB Update. Im thinking off Dumping the Nor with my Teensy Possibly Corruption there somwhere. It would be Great too Work out what's causing it So others can at least have a better Insight with the Hope off getting there Console Back up and Running.
su-30730-3 that’s the error I have and do you know if this apply ?
Hi,
Can't say it's one I've seen before if I'm honest. I don't think this procedure would be applicable though if I'm honest, but it may well be due to corruption of some other container within flash.
So ive got the same problem. My Wifi/BT not working also . I dont know wich files you dumped there and how i really dont know what to do to fix this quickly. (btw i was able to update my PS via usb from 3.50 to 3.55 .. )

i already seen your email adress :) how its approx. priced? im from germany.
instead of buying a PI and screw it up i would prefere someone else repairing it.. already asked in local store but they would send it to their technicans and after that i would get the price and thats pretty shit :D
What model number is the PS4 you have there?
CUH-1004A.. this one?
I'm stuck with the update loop too, my PS4 slim is at 5.56 FW and i can't update since 3 years from now. The message is SU-30679-5 and i don't find anything in the internet that could help me someway, did you know anything about this? Thanks
Have you tried downloading the latest v7.51 full software installation file from Sony and applying that from Safe Mode via USB as yet?
Hey Andrew please help me
I can't download the file C0020001
can you give me the link?
Link is now updated - this one shouldn't ever go offline!
hi su 41-333-4 is the solution ? thank
I've watched alot of your vids witch have taught me alot im having trouble with a ps4 that failed a update now when i put a new hdd in i get error SU-30645-8 I've tried diff usbs and downloaded from diff comps (the update file) but always the same error when i initialize can you please point me in the right direction to fix it.
Are you using the full 800-odd megabyte version for new software installations.
Andrew Paul yes I am as the update worked on another console I know it's not corrupt. I've tried 3 hdd 3 usbs reformatted a hdd then tried it still get the same cannot rebuild data base says something went wrong then give me the option to turn off ps4.
Cannot initialize or anything really confusing.
Mine has the same issue with the error code and its been sitting here for 6 months cuz i couldnt fix it
I tried many methods to fix it, usb flash drive in safe mode, initializing the ps4, rebuilding the database, ethernet. Formatting the harddrive. Tried a new harddrive and still nothing has updated this ps4. The warranty is way passed its expiration date and at the time it happened to be in an endless update loop, sony's Ps support was down
The ps4 downloads the update, restarts but when it goes to apply it i get the same error code in this video
Hi everyone, Happy Holidays. Please, i really do need help regarding a bin template file I need in fixing a PS4 B/T corruption issue. I have a handful collection of C0020001.bin template files, am willing to share all i got, but i am in need of one with size 432029 bytes, i've search for it for many weeks with no luck, anyone by any chance have this file, please share, I would really appreciate it.
Hi Albert,
I'll take a look for you - do you know which firmware revision the console asks for if you go to try and update the firmware in Safe Mode?
@@AndrewPaul ,I will really so appreciate it, i can't recall the firmware revision, i currently have d Nor Flash detached awaiting corruption repair, do you want me to attach it back ontothe board to check the firmware revision it asks for ?
Are there less issues with firmware using SD cards or more?
+Fernando Salazar I'm not sure what you mean mate?
Andrew Paul sorry I should had explain myself better.
What I mean is that issues like this are cause by Firmware, which I assume there is an issue with the Operating System, something not allowing the update to install.
Where are this updates installed? I assume in a Hard Drive, having an SD card could allow this same issues to occur, or an SD card would have the same problems installing the updates,
Basically my question is, reference that if having a more reliable Hard Drive makes a difference preventing this kinds of issues, and if the SD card could be of improvement here, now a days SD cards run faster than HDD's, with speeds faster than 200mbps, and OS can be run from certain SD cards.
Ah I see. It's irrelevant really as it's a firmware issue rather than an OS (software) issue. Firmware brings up the system hardware (rather like a computer BIOS) which in turn loads the OS from HDD and then takes over. As firmware needs to be relatively secure to prevent modification and therefore combat circumvention of the security system against mods etc which could allow unauthorised copies of games etc then it's encrypted and stored in a flash ROM rather than anything like a hard disk or removable storage device which can be very easily dumped / copied and updated.
Andrew Paul ok I see, but firmware has to be software as well, Bios is also Software, they just call it Bios because is where for controlling input and output operations, so all this basically comes down to reinstalling the firmware, would this firmware be able to be store in an SD as backup? Would that allow to be used in case or firmware error to self reinstall.
In a very basic sense then technically it is, but the definition is as above - firmware is very low-level, software takes over once firmware has fully initialised the system and brought up the OS. The trouble with flash memory like SD cards is they're commonly MLC-based which have a limited number of cycles / re-writes and would be much more likely to fail than a specifically designed ROM IC like the current implementation.
Hi Andrew. I have bought ps4 star wars edition wit the same issue. I have desoldered chip, dumped firmware and extracted it but c0020001.bin does not seem to be corrupted. Size of this file is 432029 bytes. Bluetooth module is AW-NB218 in 1.1 rev. Any ideas??
Best regards.
It's likely a failed hardware module on the 1200 series - very common weak point. Providing the console is on a firmware version greater than 4.0 then you'll be able to change it for any 1200-compatible module. If you can't do it yourself and you're UK / EU based then I can provide a quote to you for repair.
Thank You for fast reply. If I change wifi module for 1.2 for example do i need to edit dumped firmware??Regards.
Providing your firmware dump tests correctly against a known-good 432,029 byte C0020001.bin template then you can simply replace the module and the console will function normally again - no firmware editing required.
See here for a module replacement video:
ruclips.net/video/cTD3jjo1crM/видео.html
Thanks!!! I wonder if You have 432,029 byte size template?? Regards.
Thank you so much for your videos. This time I have an issue when I replace the content of the C0020001 template to my original orig0.bin file and rename it to orig_fixed.bin, and extracted it again to compare HxD says "The chosen files are identical. The files sizes are different, though!". Hope somebody can help me with this. Greetings from México!!
Hey andrew ! Please answer me!
Any solution for ps4 error su-30631-3, where it fails at 64% in safe mode? It might be a nor flash corruption but how can I be sure?? thx!
It's not one I've seen in the flesh mate so not too sure on that one.
Have you tried an alternative USB flash drive to install the update from?
I tried everything that was suggested on the internet! Everything from changing usb to changing HDD to using all safe mode options! It keeps erroring with that particular one at 64%. If i dump the flash will I be able to see where the error is or the corruption in HXD :/ ?
Hi bud,
I wouldn't think so as it's encrypted so it'll just appear as garbage. If it's flash corruption then it's likely done for sadly.
did you fix this problem ? I have the same one
@@AndrewPaul did u fix this problem ? I have the same one
Who can I pay to do this and how much
Can you fix ce 34787-0
34787 or 34878?
Hello my friend
I want to ask you
can be fix ps4 dump the problem its turn on back off
Am sure the problem in dump
If it's turning on and off after a few seconds then it's not a NOR issue. If it will power back on, it's likely RAM / APU. If not, PSU.
@@AndrewPaul my friend thanks for replying me
it's back off in 1 sacand
And am try another dump from another console same modle
After I do that the ps4 can be start with blod so am sure it's dump problem
Sorry for my English hope you understand me
hey sent you an email regarding fixing my ps4 not sure if you got it
I'll take a look - when did you send it?
Hi D'Andreo - I've found it. I must have missed it so my apologies. I've sent a reply back to you this morning.
Many thanks, Andy.

Hello there
Did you send me the new PS4 file at the end of the video The same problem please
Which new file?
Share video about SU-41283-8 error
Video name: Fix PS4 Update Loop SU-41283-8 - A Professional Repair Demonstration for System Software Errors
New file at the end of the video
The file at the end would be per-console so wouldn't be of any use apart from on that one machine. The only file which might be of use would be the firmware C0020001.bin template files but without knowing your firmware version or motherboard revision I've no way of knowing which one you need. In the linked videos there are download links to templates for v3.xx and v4.0x templates.
Hi, thanks for replying, I tell you that the two 32,768kb files orig1 and orig2 I compare them with the hxd and they tell me that they are not the same, there are differences and with the PS4_AC1D_Flash-Tool I compare file by file and they all give me correct minus the Core0s that gives me a difference with the two readings orig1 and orig2 and the file C0020001.bin is corrupted too but in the two readings alike this already repaired by a correct but the core0s do not know what to do
Re-dump them after checking connections to your NOR and programmer. if you're using a socket ensure the pins are clean and that any soldered connections on your programmer are good. If you're soldering directly to the NOR ensure those joints are good and that wires are kept as short as possible.
i want your help about jovy re 8500
What do you need to know?
i am facing ram bleed problem on ps3 rsx chip i have jovy re 8500
i want to remove rsx with ihs on jovy re 8500 .the profiles which are provided by jovy isnt work well
Ideally you'll want to remove the IHS before lifting - you should renew the thermal paste below the IHS after rework anyway as it'll be ruined after being subject to such temperatures. This will enable you to use a less harsh profile on the BGA and it should lift a lot easier.
Andrew Paul can u share ur jovy re 8500 profile for rsx chip

Thank you I am now watching the first video, is it only to follow with those that the error is corrected?
The version of my ps4 is the CUH-1115A
The only one you can freely ignore is "Part 1 - addendum for CUH-12xx series PS4s"
Part 1 itself shows you the necessary hardware you'll need to perform the fix and how to build it;
Part 2 shows how to get the hardware and software required installed;
Part 3 is a detailed tutorial for checking the dump and performing the patching should it be required.
What causes su-42118-6 error
Not one I've seen but a quick Google indicates a BD-ROM issue.
Andrew Paul thanks a lot. You are the best.
Tengo el mismo problema pero no puedo solucionarlo ya que no se ingles me gustaria saber si es cosa sel software y si es así me lo podrias enviar por correo para arreglarla espero que me entiendas muchas gracias
Hi,
Yes this is likely to be a software issue - you will however need to have the facility to dump / reprogram your existing NOR flash ROM as they're unique to each console (you can't flash any other ROM from another person to it - it must be specifically patched for your console).
Andrew Paul ah vale cada consola tiene su propio rom y entonces como lo podria solucionar porque me descargue el software 4.73 y que tendria que cambiar del software muchas gracias por contestar eres una persona maravillosa gracias
The software that needs fixing is contained in the ROM on your motherboard - because it is corrupt the 4.73 update file you downloaded cannot find the Bluetooth WiFi firmware it wants to update so it quits with this SU-41283-8 error message. To get around this you need to dump your existing ROM, patch it with the correct working firmware section and re-program it. The 4.73 update will then find the relevant Bluetooth WiFi firmware correctly, update it where necessary and the update will then proceed and complete as normal.
I have a three-part tutorial for what is involved - the first part can be found here:
ruclips.net/video/O612Mtz43OI/видео.html
Andrew Paul y donde puedo encontrar ese parche para poder instalarlo muchas gracias
?why not upload this file on link
Every file is unique to every PlayStation so it wouldn't be of any use to anyone else barring the owner of this particular console.
