usb1 instead of usb0 #1

Closed stemannax0 closed 6 years ago

For some reason my (refurbished) PS4 detects my external HDD as usb1, while something else (i don't know what though) as usb0 - as seen on the images provided with FTP. Therefore, packages are transferred (even partially) to this non-existent usb0 instead of usb1. In addition, apptousb.bin creates a apptousb into usb0/PS4 by itself, but since it's not a real usb, it fails in transferring packages. Yes, I tried swapping usb port but this hasn't helped. Any solution? Maybe just changing usb0 to usb1 in the code and then compile it again into .bin would help. Thanks

make sure you don't have multiple partitions on the hdd.

looking in the usb0 folder there you have run the dumper payload and you have the folders -app and -patch which the dumper creates. having those folders and the ps4 folder created you must have something acting as usb0.

if you have used that hdd as a windows drive or other operating system you will need to clean the partition table on the drive and make a new single partition formatted to exfat. google "diskpart" and look for a tutorial on how to "clean" the partition table.

apparently mac os x when creating GUID partition creates an invisible 200mb partition too. formatting the hard disk with other ways helped it work again. thanks.
