Acquired 2.20 PS5, safe to update to 5.00+ for Linux support?

Hey all,

Long time lurker and finally got my hands on a brand new and sealed 2.20 PS5 Disk Edition.

After all the news surrounding linux, I'm assuming it's possible for me to update the system software from 2.20 to 5.00 via the PS5 safe mode? I've been Googling around and it seems possible, but can't seem to find any definite answers - do Sony incorporate some kind of online check during update, similar to iOS to prevent updating to older versions?

Thank you!

Hi all,

About 7 years ago I replaced and registered the battery on my non-LCI F20 118d using ISTA/Rheingold without any issues.

Now I need to do the same on my LCI F20 120d (11 years old, same battery, slow crank, no warning on the dash). This time I’m running Windows 10 LTSC on a MacBook via Bootcamp, so storage is a bit tight.

ISTA/Rheingold seems to be working fine without programming data - I can connect to the car and access the battery registration service plan.

Just wondering - do I actually need the programming data to register the new battery if it's identical or a close spec?

Thank you!
