UPGRADING/BACKING UP THE INTERNAL HDD:
Adding More Storage! :
- Back up your data, but don't use official methods to backup your fake signed games and apps, use FTP to copy the USER/APP/XXXXXXXXX/APP.PKG (fake signed games) to an external backup: rename them as the CUSAXXXXX folders they came out of to remind you what they were.
You can retain SAVES by using the built in options under: [Settings] > [System] > [Backup and Restore] > [Back Up PS4] (Deselect Applications).You can also retain TROPHIES by copying the USER/HOME/XXXXXXXXX/TROPHY folder and the USER/TROPHY folder via FTP (be careful to keep them separate as they are named the same)
- Replace the HDD:
You can internally upgrade the PS4 to 8tb max, however the dimensions of the HDD must be no taller than 9.5mm to fit in the enclosure (2.5inch Sata HDD).
- Reinstall the System software in safe mode (option 7):
5.05 RECOVERY PUP - MD5: C2A602174F6B1D8EF599640CD276924A
- Restore the data that has been backed up: Once upgraded restore your saves again using the [Backup and Restore] option, restore trophies using FTP, and restore games by reinstalling the APP.PKG files to internal (You can move them to external if you want using APPTOUSB: see below)

I backed up my 500gb to upgrade to 1tb yesterday, did it with the built in option and it copied everything perfectly including my fake signed game's.
Very easy process to do!

So I did everything in the tutorial, but after reinstalling the games from app.pkgs, I have all the dlc installed but the updates are missing. Any way I can get them back without individually checking the cusa and downloading from every game thread?
