=== 0x380000 SCE VTRM Region0 (Retail & Dev/Test) ===
SCEVTRM Magic on 0x380048.
 
The 0xFC in this example here mark the very first entry for a VTRM. Otherwise it would be 4 bytes either all 0x00 which means not in use or 0x03 0x00 0x00 0x00 which means in use. It is always tighten to 0x00 placed on offset 0x380050 and 0x380058 or in the second VTRM on 0x3A0050 and 0x3A0058 and it is the counter for activation and deactivation of the console. So following the counting this means for every
 
uneven number == Activated
 
and every
 
even number == Deactivated
 
or
 
If VTRM0 is marked as in use then the console is deactivated and if VTRM1 is marked in use then she is activated.
 
Following some examples. Remember mark 0xFC and count 0x00 == factory state.
 
NOTE: Dev / Test Consoles only do use one VTRM. The array for the second VTRM is completely empty on this SKU models beside that they don't have any mark and also no counter. (yea sure why if they only use one ^^)


=== 0x380000 SCE VTRM Region0 (Retail & Dev/Test) ===
NOTE²: There is another byte that will change douring this process. On offset 0x3A0078 for factory the byte is 0xFF. As soon the console would be the first time activated (so count 0x01) then this byte change to 0xFE. After this (so count 0x02 and upwards) the byte will always be 0xFC.

==== 0x380170 VTRM Region0 Digest? (Retail & Dev/Test) ====
So we have more ways to identify if a Dump is from a Retail or a Dev/Test console. Either we can check if there are any incremental counters used on the VTRM or we can check if the VTRM hase any mark like 0xFC or 0x00000000 or 0x03000000 then it is reatail else Dev/test. Or we also can check the first 4 bytes of both VTRMs against 4x 0xFF bytes, if True == Dev/Test else Retail.
See also: [[VTRM#Region0_Digest|VTRM]]
==== 0x380170 VTRM R0 PerConsole (Retail & Dev/Test) ====
This region of 0x60 ~= 96 bytes is the exact same on the same console of diffrent FW and BIOS versions. We can use thoes 96 bytes to identify dumps as diffrent or as from one and the same device. It's kind of a unique Console identifyer. I will add a new entry to the SystemFlash Extractor and hash this array with SHA1 which we then can use to store it in the DataBase. That gives us the ability to even identify a Dump and his informations from the DataBase out as one and the same device or as a diffrent one, while to same time to protect the privacy of the user in case we use a checksum to store and not the console specific unique vlaue. (what ever it will hold...)

See also: [[VTRM#Region1_Digest|VTRM]]
The same like for Region0 applys here but with the diffrence that thoes both values from Region0 and Region1 do differ on the same console and also on diffrent versions. But Region0 do match Region0 of diffrent FW and BIOS versions and the same apply for Region1. Thoes 96 bytes from Region1 are always the same on diffrent FW and BIOS versions of the same console.

=== Software Based Validation ===
==== BwE PS4 NOR Validator ====
[[File:Screenshot norvalidator2.png|300px|thumb|left|Results]]
This program is the release version of [[User:BwE]]'s PS4 NOR Validator, it is designed solely to validate the NOR flash of your PS4 console!
Why would you need to do this? Well if your console has suddenly died and has what is called the 'BLOD', the NOR can be the reason why. Using my program will allow you to validate literally every single byte of the NOR (or over 2100 specific areas) - allowing you to see where or if it is corrupted.
The most common area of corruption that causes the BLOD is the CID. Some areas of this section can actually be repaired, if you're lucky! I and others have done this! Don't forget to use my Comparator tool to help you understand what the difference is for a specific section of the NOR. It will help you with patching!
Other areas can be inter-changed between different consoles and are more suited for repair, the WiFi/BT module is a good example of this.
So fundamentally, this program is for console repairers like myself. If you are indeed a repairer and run a business I can make a custom 'bulk' version for you! But for now, feel free to put multiple *.bin files in the working directory as my program will provide a selection menu.
I am also happy to give advice on your NOR or help interpret your results, just post on the forum or give me an email. If you can bypass my filter, send me a link to your NOR!
If you encounter any errors or weird results - or better yet if your NOR is labled danger in any areas, but still runs fine - let me know!
Keep in mind the CoreOS and other large encrypted areas could still be corrupt regardless of the results (I cant check every byte in an encrypted section, hence alt validations). This program is NOT perfect, but it is WAY better than just using a hex editor or never truely knowing if your BLOD is caused by the NOR!
This also goes above and beyond that of the psdevwiki page regarding the main flash of the PS4 (Thank you cfwprpht).

'''Notes:'''
As of version 1.5.5 there is an ability to upload dumps directly to me. I use these to improve the program and validations.
Abusing this service will result in your ban from future use of my validator.
''Regarding Anti-Virus:''
I protect my program with Themida. The problem with this is that heuristically some AV software see it as a threat.
This is because people who make or redistribute old malware also use Themida to help make themselves undetected.
Ultimately, it is up to you to trust the program and me. I encourage you to upload to a sandbox to see for yourself.
