Finding the 2.50 Beta PUP/Firmare was very easy. Basically every PS4 requests the beta XML file which stores the information required to get the .PUP file.

You must login or register to view this content.

So once I spotted this XML file via SKFU's Pr0xy, I first tried to simply redirect the normal "ps4-updatelist.xml" to the beta one. This failed. Second try was to download the PUP and install it from a USB stick via the PS4's safemode. This also failed.

My last idea was to create a new "ps4-updatelist.xml" and redirect the normal one to my custom XML. This worked Steps to reproduce are below:

You must login or register to view this content.


1. Get any SKFU's Pr0xy server
2. Start & setup the Proxy Server on your PlayStation4
3. Redirect "https://feu01.ps4.upd...-updatelist.xml" to "https://zload.net/ps4/beta/ps4-updatelist.xml"
4. In case your from another region, change "/eu/" to your regioncode!
5.Search for an update on your PS4
6. Download, install and enjoy 2.50 Beta

In case this does not work, try the installation via safemode "Update using Internet". If you have setup the proxy already, it also works in safemode.

Best regards,

- SKFU

thanks anyway it still says The latest version of the system software is already installed and when i try in safe mode it installs 2.04.

that means that the proxy isn't working correctly or you are forwarding the wrong xml
