Every PS4 contains a set of one-time programmable fuses (similar to the PS3's "metldr" fuses). When you update your firmware, Sony's updater blows specific eFuses.

Every PS4 contains two "slots" for firmware. When you update your console, the new version is written to the inactive slot, which then becomes active. The old firmware remains in the other slot, effectively hidden. To downgrade, you must:
