I got curious about IDE mode a few days ago and decided to turn it on without looking up what it actually does. I got stuck into the IDE loop (softbrick) and had to reinstall my system software from safe mode. This meant that I lost both my profiles, and the ability to use remote play. Don't fuck with debug settings.

Noted! (not that i'd even consider touching a thing from debug other than install)

1) Remove disc game.
2) Use R1 + R2 + L1 + L2 + Option + Up to about 10 seconds, the console will go to Staff Mode.
3) Then the PS button and the menu again and select Debug Setting.
4) Further, in Debug Setting go to System - IDU Mode - Off to turn off the IDU mode.

Doesn't work. I tried it before I wiped my console. I think that button combo got changed for 5.05.

You would need OMSK to download and install for this to work. If you have DNS settings setup it wouldn't download, therefore a restore default settings would fix that and this combo would then work.
