PS4 Controller Sync NOR Flash Corruption Repair - CUH-1200 (SAC-001) Demonstration
Рет қаралды 48,944
7 жыл бұрынThis video is an extension to our 3 part series detailing the repair of the PS4 Controller Sync fault when caused by a corruption of the Flash-Main IC rather than a fault caused by a physical failure of the Bluetooth / WiFi module. This video demonstrates the repair on a newer CUH-1200 series PS4 with an SAC-001 mainboard.
In this video we cover how to dump your PS4 NOR flash chip using a Teensy programmer within Windows. We then open these dumps, identify the corruption and repair the corrupt area before re-programing our PS4 NOR flash chip ready for re-installation. We test everything at the end to show it works and we are back gaming once again!

Hello Andrew thank you for the effort you put into these videos they are great. Have you confirmed that all SAC-001 4+ firmwares share the same templates? I have a NOR dump here from a 4+ firmware machine and the template file is very different from my extracted file. I'm not sure if it is corruption in my file or I need a different template. I can send you the file I have extracted if that helps at all.

Hi Andrew. Thanks for your videos. Keep it up. I have a question. Doesn't upgrading to a newer firmware revision just overwrite the corrupt part of the nor?
@AndrewPaul 6 жыл бұрын
Sadly not. It would be great if it did and logic would say that it would but sadly if the stack is corrupt then it bypasses the upgrade and falls over (usually to error SU-41283-8 these days). The older FWs would just complete as normal but you'd obviously still end up with no controller response outside of safe mode.

Have a console with the following parameters: CUH-1215A, SAC-001, MX25L25635FZ2I-10G, Rev. 1.2, FW 6.02, 32,768kB size. Size is unusual as all the others I see are around 420kB or so. Do you have this? Grabbed the dump with a TL866II Plus that I already had laying around. I flashed with 5.03 that I found which caused the console to not boot whatsoever and wasn't expecting it to work. Chip placement was perfect and continuity was tested. I reflashed the original binary that was saved at 32,768kB and it's back to it's original state: controller working in Safe Mode but not in OS. Bluetooth module was already replaced, and I've done a couple of those before fine. Only thing I think I could do is grab another SAC-001 with 6.02 and grab the dump from that. Have two other SAC-001s in possession but they have 6.51 and whenever trying to update the problematic PS4 to 6.51 to match, it outputs SU-41283-8 error. Does Bluetooth module revision matter?

Hey Andrew! Thanks a TON for your videos. I've learned a lot from you. I have a CUH-1215A SAC-001 PS4 and neither front USB ports work with neither a controller or a usb flash drive (light on the flash drive does not turn on when I put it into the port). The ports also do not charge the controllers. Originally this PS4 had an HDMI issue and I replaced the HDMI IC and got the HDMI functioning again. I'm guessing this PS4 took a power surge. The controllers also do not connect in safe mode. Is it more likely to be the bluetooth module, this, or something else? Thanks!

Dear Andrew, thanks for you kind videos but im in need of your help. I have a cuh1200 series which is facing the controller sync problem from a year ago and i saw your video of bluetooth wifi chip replacement on a cuh 1100 series. I thought i had the same problem so i opened my ps4 and found that my my board and chip were different and my board had the newer bluetooth wifi chip. So I ordered a newer chip and replaced the built-in one as i thought my chip was damaged. Now the built-in chip was a revision 1.0 and the one that i replaced with is a revision 1.1. The problem was not fixed and now i believe that i had a nor flash corrupt issue in the first place. What should i do now mate?? Please help . .
@AndrewPaul 7 жыл бұрын
You'll need to fix the firmware corruption within the firmware in order to get the new module working. Luckily I believe that since v4.0, the code is identical across all modules for the 1200 as previously mismatching modules would have caused a BLOD condition. I need to update the C0020001.bin patches for these tutorials which I'm hoping to get done over this next week or so. The existing videos (parts 1, 1 addendum, and 2) still apply as is. Part 3 will be updated for post-v4.0 firmwares - it's actually easier now to work out which patch you're going to need but give it a watch and it'll prepare you for what's needed.

I have 1 piece of ps4 cuh-1216 on 4.07 fw with replaced before (by someone else) wireless module AW-NB218 r1.2 and unfortunatelly with no controller syncing. I've checked nor, but C0020001.bin is exactly the same like in package. Thank you in advance!
@AndrewPaul 7 жыл бұрын
yes it's a universal patch for the SAC boards post 4.0x. The patch has changed for v4.70 and will need updating for machines on this version. Chances are the replacement module was a pull from another board and they're a common and regular point of failure on these boards so wouldn't rule out a further failure particularly if the dump is reporting good.

Hello Andrew, question : Why are you desoldering the 32MB NOR chip from the motherboard, in order to read and write to the chip ? I just connected my Teensy ++ 2.0 board, by soldering wires to alternate connection points on the motherboard itself. Reading goes well, as well as writing to it. Even filled a 32MB file with all 0101010101010101's, wrote to it, dumped it and both files were 100% identical. Also did an erasechip, and the whole 32MB nor chip was full of FF's. So from my conclusion, desoldering the 32MB chip is not necessary for SAC boards, so my question is : Do you share my conclusion ?
@AndrewPaul 5 жыл бұрын
You can likely get away with it to be honest. I've heard some potential issues around that behaviour on older SAA/SAB boards. I always prefer to play it safe (after all these consoles don't belong to me, they belong to my customers) and therefore always take the extra step to remove it. Chances are it'll be fine though.
@proconsoles_nl 5 жыл бұрын
Yes, I can imagine that you took the safe way. But, when it can be done without desoldering, you will save so much time. I always thought, you desolder because otherwise too much current and voltage will drop because of the connection with the mobo. Most of the times I did SAC boards for checking the NOR, but I can also test it on a couple of scrap boards. Other question about Blinking Blue Light of Death, for SAA and SAB boards, I have a success rate of 100% by reflowing all the BGA chips, but I do not have that with SAC boards. What is your current success rate with SAC BBLOD boards with reflowing all BGA chips ?
@AndrewPaul 5 жыл бұрын
To lift the IC and put it into a socket takes all of around 30 seconds to be fair and the same in reverse to refit so for me the timescale is not an issue. If you were lifting it to solder wires then I can see where the time thing might come into play. I haven't seen many SAC boards with the BLOD to be fair to draw any worthwhile conclusions. The few I have seen have usually been down to RAM.
@proconsoles_nl 5 жыл бұрын
Both ways will require tools and skills, advantages and disadvantages. It would be most handy, when E3 team (or another team) would come with a socket which would be put over the NOR chip in order to read/write to it. No hot air and no soldering would then be required. About SAC boards, I think Sony soldered on the APU better then SAA and SAB boards, so when you have a BBLOD, then it is harder to find the cause. Same with ps3 3004 models with no power, compared to 2 second YLOD on CECHC04 models. On those CECHC04 models, it is nearly always broken solder connections underneath GPU.

Part 2 - Installing and preparing our programmer hardware is here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1OT3... Part 3 - Removing the NOR, dumping the NOR, rebuilding flash and re-programming NOR can be viewed here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oJ9ygdFe2q6bn40.html

Andrew, I get power to my controllers through both the usb ports, CUH 1200 Series, ps4 controllers which were paired already work wirelessly through Bluetooth, but I’m not able to connect them through any USB cable, tried safe mode and it doesn’t send data to my controllers, what could be the issue ?
@AndrewPaul 4 жыл бұрын
Hi, If the controllers don't communicate via USB in normal or Safe Mode in either port on a 1200 PS4 then the issue is a defective Southbridge IC, regardless of power being provided to the ports or not. This is because the USB host controller functionality is held within this chip and often fails on this particular model. Sometimes the ports are completely dead, other times they power but offer no comms. Hope this helps.

@AndrewPaul 6 жыл бұрын
It's possibly firmware corruption. Ideally you should check this first before replacing the module as now you're in a position where you won't know whether it's a module installation issue, a defective module, firmware corruption or a combination of the above. Next step will be to check the firmware before doing anything else. If it checks out OK, drop the new module and check for any dry pads - if they all look like they flowed correctly and mated, you've likely a further faulty module.

You should always check the firmware first as it's quicker, easier and much kinder on the hardware. Afterall, there's no point in replacing a module requiring some fairly major surgery if the module itself isn't faulty. Sadly there's no outwards way to check - you just have to follow the procedure to arrive at the eventual solution.

You've already received this answer on ps3hax, but maybe it's interesting for other viewers here as well... "The behaviour you've described (write/erase returns with an error after a couple of minutes) is exactly what happens when you don't supply Vcc to the chip. Even without Vcc you will get correct chip information (manufacturer, type, size) and luckily for you, you also get correct dumps (at least most probably). But writing / erasing won't work. So, double check your wiring (or seating of chip if you use a socket). Not visually, but with a multimeter. Measure Vcc at the chip. It must be 3.3V (+/- 0.1V). If Vcc isn't connected properly, you'll still get 2.9V at the chip (it receives power through the other i/o lines), so you need a precise multimeter."

But when i go to Bluetooth devices i can see my dualshock 4 controller but without the green ball (that means it is not connected) so i press option bottun then forget device and connect my ds4 once more and no sync. I had noticed also that the ps4 sometimes finds the nearby Bluetooth devices and sometimes not. When it finds a device and i try to pair with it it says connection timedout or pin not correct.
