Hey guys, my ps3/ps4 to ps3/ps4 converter is stuck in update mode and no firmware updates will work with it in this state. It has the 20160408 tournament version firmware installed, but the newest update won’t take with it.
I’ve been following those instructions to no avail. The ‘combo buttons’ part of the installation doesn’t work for the older firmware, and the new one’s installer stops responding. I’m on Windows 10, if that helps. I’ve also followed each of the troubleshooting steps, still stuck.
It what it sounds like. An update to your adapter’s firmware for continued Compatibility with current consoles.
Especially with PS4 firmware updates breaks the compatibility with the Brooks devices.

The controller compatibility updated is for fixing compatibility device, if your stick/controller works with your converter, you can’t enable it.
I can’t get my PS3 Madcatz Tournament edition to work at all now with the recent update and the new patch from late July. This is the PS3/PS4 to PS3/PS4 converter. The PS4 will say too many PCBs hooked up. I have 2 led controllers installed (Toodle’s Remora and FGWidget), is that causing the problem? The TE won’t power on no matter where I plug it into. It was working on PS4 before the Brook updates.
I’d just like to add confirmation that the controller cannot be plugged into the converter when doing the new 2.0 update. Only have the converter plugged in. That was my problem.
I used the white converter, PS3>PS4. I had been using a standard PS3 Dualshock 3 controller for updating the firmware but learned with the mose recent update, it was not necessary to have the controller plugged into the converter.
I first made sure to install file 20160408 and then upgraded to 20160726. Once I understood to NOT have the controller plugged in during the final update, I had zero problems.
I just got the X360 to PS4 converter and am having failed updates.
I don’t know what I did, but the first time I tried an update it “failed”, and the unit has been stuck in “purple mode” ever since then.
Every update fails and I cannot get it out of purple mode. My controller does not get any power. Trying to install the regular “Xbox 360 to PS4” 20160408 firmware. I also tried the TE and the “mac” versions just in case, but they always fail and the converter is still in “purple mode.”
Sorry if this is a noob problem but i’ve looked around and tried lots of stuff all day long and am still stuck with failing updates and an unresponsive unit.
