What is it

The PlayStation 4 can enter a special "Service Mode". When it does so, the bottom right corner of the screen has a red translucent rectangle with the words "F a c t o r y /Service Mode" inside of the rectangle. This mode is used by Sony for repairing assistance.

Setting up the pendrive

The drive label must be named ORBISMANU, the type must be FAT32 and the allocation size must be 32768 bytes (32K)

What Selfs does it use?

See also launcher.cfg

What PUPs does it use?

See Factory Service Mode PUPs

How to enter it

In a similar fashion to the PlayStation 3, one can enter FSM by patching the Syscon EEPROM (unknown values). There also may be a way to enter FSM using USB. There are documented cases of Sony repairing services accidentally leaving PS4 consoles in FSM.

Features

Unknown, supposedly more restricted than the PS3 FSM.
