Fixing PSFree & Lapse Jailbreak Issues on PS4 (9.00–9.60)

If you’ve jailbroken your PS4 on firmware 9.00 to 9.60, you may have run into frustrating issues like black screens or corrupted save data—especially when using the PSFree & Lapse browser-based jailbreak.

Games like GTA: Vice City Definitive Edition would freeze right after launch, leaving players stuck with no crash message and broken saves. Because of this, many users preferred older methods like PPPwn or USB-based exploits, which were harder to set up but didn’t break games.

Now, there’s a much simpler workaround. The solution comes from an existing GoldHEN plugin called AIO Fix. Although it wasn’t originally designed for this problem, users discovered that enabling the plugin completely removes the black screen issue and prevents save corruption.

I tested it myself on firmware 9.00 with a Lapse host:

• Without the plugin → the game froze instantly.
• With the plugin → the game loaded normally, saved, and reloaded without errors.

This isn’t an official patch, but it’s a reliable temporary fix until future jailbreak updates address the issue directly. If your current jailbreak setup works fine, you don’t need to rush. But if you’re tired of black screens and broken saves, this plugin can make your system stable again.

FAQ

Why does the PSFree & Lapse jailbreak cause black screens?
Because of how the exploit manages memory and save data. Some games crash or corrupt saves when launched.

How does the AIO Fix plugin help?
By patching the problem in the background. Once enabled in GoldHEN, games that used to freeze now run normally.

Is it safe to use?
Yes, it’s stable so far. If you’re already facing these issues, it’s worth trying. Otherwise, you can wait for a future exploit update.
