Whenever the PS4 updates its firmware, it actually keeps a backup of the previous firmware version in an alternate slot on the NOR flash. However, the Syscon chip only validates the most recent version. The downgrade process tricks the console into booting from that previous slot. The Technical Process: sistrodowngradeps4
There is a small chance that in 2–3 years, a plug-and-play downgrade device will hit the market. Until then, treat every “software downgrade” claim as fiction. If you want to move forward with this
As of now, if your PS4 is on a high firmware, your best bet is to stay on that version and stop updating. Exploits are eventually found for higher firmwares, but they take time to develop and test. While Sistro continues to update GoldHEN to support more versions as they become exploitable, he has not released a tool to "force" a downgrade. Conclusion However, the Syscon chip only validates the most
