Fix PS4 SU-41283-8 Update Loop - A Professional Repair Demonstration for System Software Errors
Рет қаралды 71,574
Күн бұрынThis 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.
Many thanks for watching this video - if it helps then please COMMENT, LIKE and SUBSCRIBE for more content like this.
If you're a new viewer then please check out the rest of my channel - I have over 60 videos on the channel focusing on PS4 / XBONE / Apple Macbook and iPhone repair.
As promised, below is the video tutorial series for repairing Flash_Main NOR corruption of the BT/WiFi firmware stack for SAA/SAB/SAC revision motherboards. Follow these closely - this is FIRMWARE and any mistake caused by not following these procedures to the letter may result in a permanently bricked device!!

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
@AndrewPaul 7 жыл бұрын
+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.

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?

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 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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

+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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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
@AndrewPaul 6 жыл бұрын
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.

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.

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.

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!

@frankynakamoto2308 7 жыл бұрын
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.
@AndrewPaul 7 жыл бұрын
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.
@frankynakamoto2308 7 жыл бұрын
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.
@AndrewPaul 7 жыл бұрын
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.
