Insert your Gen2/3 NVMe drive into your PC (either on the motherboard or with a USB adapter) 2. Download & install Balena Etcher https://etcher.balena.io/ and download my dump https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oefa... 3. Run Balena Etcher and select 'gen3_enabler_bringus.img', select your NVMe drive, and then flash 4. Remove your Gen2/3 NVMe and put it in your PS5. This is the part where it will either format it successfully, or tell you to turn the console off. ~~~ Taking & flashing your own disk image ~~~ 1. Insert your Gen4 NVMe into your PS5 and let it format it 2. Turn off your PS5 and take out the Gen4 NVMe and plug it into your computer (either on the motherboard or with a USB adapter) ~~~ Windows ~~~ 3. Download & install HxD https://mh-nexus.de/downloads/HxDSetu... 4. After installing, right click it and click 'Run as administrator' 5. Go to 'Tools ➜ Open disk...' and click on your Gen4 NVMe and click 'OK' 6. Go to 'Edit ➜ Select block...' and change the bottom radio button to 'dec', then type in 2097151 for 'End-offset'. Make sure 'Start-offset' is 0. 7. Go to 'File ➜ Save selection...' and save it anywhere as 'gen4_2mb.img' 8. Remove the Gen4 NVMe from your PC and insert your Gen3 or Gen2 NVMe 9. Download & install Balena Etcher https://etcher.balena.io/ and then open your gen4_2mb.img file, select your Gen2/3 NVMe drive, and flash it 10. Remove your Gen2/3 NVMe and put it in your PS5. This is the part where it will either format it successfully, or tell you to turn the console off. ~~~ Linux ~~~ 3. Open a terminal and run lsblk 4. Find your NVMe drive. If it's on a USB adapter it will likely be under /dev/sdX, with X being a random letter. If it's on your motherboard, it will look more like /dev/nvme0nX 5. Run sudo dd if=/dev/[your drive goes here] of=~/gen4_2mb.img bs=1M count=2 6. Replace your Gen4 NVMe drive with your Gen2/3 drive, then run sudo dd if=~/gen4_2mb.img of=/dev/[your drive goes here] bs=1M count=2 7. Remove your Gen2/3 NVMe and put it in your PS5. This is the part where it will either format it successfully, or tell you to turn the console off. REMEMBER TO SHARE YOUR RESULTS! Here's a comment template: Drive: [type your NVMe model number here] Did it work: [yes/no] Who's dump: [bringus/my own] What firmware: [the first set of text after the dash in System Software ➜ Console Information (i.e. 06.02, 04.03, 08.00, 13.40)] ************************************************** Subscribe to Jon Bringus (my 2nd channel):    / @jonbringus   Become a Channel Member!
