On the PS4 a Dev unit only hase one Region where a Retail unit will have two Regions. One of thoes regions will be used for deactivation and the other one for activation.
On the PS4 a Dev/Test units only have one Region whilst a Retail unit has two Regions. One of those regions is used for deactivation and the other one for activation.
 
Region0 and Region1 Digest (or signature, whatever) is for every console on every System Software version the same. And "Per Console" does not match at all because it is per Region for a Retail. In case only DevKit / TestKit consoles do use one Region (Region0) you could call it there "Per Console", still it is "Per Region".

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. 0xFC 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. Following the counting: This means for every
 
uneven number == Activated
 
and for every
 
even number == Deactivated
 
or
 
If VTRM0 is marked as in use then the console is deactivated and if VTRM1 is marked as in use then PS4 is activated.
 
Following some examples. Remember mark 0xFC and count 0x00 == factory state.

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 has any mark like 0xFC or 0x00000000 or 0x03000000 then it is a Retail 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.
 
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 ^^)
 
NOTE²: There is another byte that will change during this process. On offset 0x3A0078 for factory the byte is 0xFF. As soon as 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.
 
=== Region0 Digest? ===
 
This region of 0x60 bytes is the exact same on the same console of different FW and BIOS versions. We can use those 0x60 bytes to identify dumps as different or as from one and the same device. It's kind of a unique console identifier. 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 its informations from the DataBase out as one and the same device or as a different one, while at same time to protect the privacy of the user in case we use a checksum to store and not the console specific unique value.

=== Region1 Digest? ===
 
The same like for Region0 applies here but with the difference that those both digest? from Region0 and Region1 do differ on the same console and also on different versions. But Region0 do match Region0 of different FW and BIOS versions and the same applies for Region1. Those 0x60 bytes from Region1 are always the same on different FW and BIOS versions of the same console.

The PS4 VTRM functionality seems to be similar with the one of the PS3. We can either dump it via HW or via SW method. Tools to unpack and dump the VTRM can be found here Tool on the Top, under sources.

On the PS4 a Dev/Test units only have one Region whilst a Retail unit has two Regions. One of those regions is used for deactivation and the other one for activation.

Region0 and Region1 Digest (or signature, whatever) is for every console on every System Software version the same. And "Per Console" does not match at all because it is per Region for a Retail. In case only DevKit / TestKit consoles do use one Region (Region0) you could call it there "Per Console", still it is "Per Region".

Region0[edit | edit source]

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. 0xFC 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. Following the counting: This means for every

uneven number == Activated

and for every

even number == Deactivated

or

If VTRM0 is marked as in use then the console is deactivated and if VTRM1 is marked as in use then PS4 is activated.

Following some examples. Remember mark 0xFC and count 0x00 == factory state.

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 has any mark like 0xFC or 0x00000000 or 0x03000000 then it is a Retail 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.

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 ^^)

NOTE²: There is another byte that will change during this process. On offset 0x3A0078 for factory the byte is 0xFF. As soon as 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.

Region0 Digest?[edit | edit source]

This region of 0x60 bytes is the exact same on the same console of different FW and BIOS versions. We can use those 0x60 bytes to identify dumps as different or as from one and the same device. It's kind of a unique console identifier. 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 its informations from the DataBase out as one and the same device or as a different one, while at same time to protect the privacy of the user in case we use a checksum to store and not the console specific unique value.

(From a already dead console)

Region1 Digest?[edit | edit source]

The same like for Region0 applies here but with the difference that those both digest? from Region0 and Region1 do differ on the same console and also on different versions. But Region0 do match Region0 of different FW and BIOS versions and the same applies for Region1. Those 0x60 bytes from Region1 are always the same on different FW and BIOS versions of the same console.
