Would you mind walk me through how to do this? I've been trying for an hour but still no luck. I went to Game Library (Installed) and tried to launch Ps Plus and PS now. Tried rest mode and also tried to go to account setting to log in but still no luck. Firmware is 4.0.2.
Accessing PlayStation store without forced update bug!

Yeah, I think they fixed the loophole. Just tried spamming it again and could not get it to trigger. Tried restarting and no dice. At least I was able to get in the first time and activate my PS5 as primary and DL my old PS4 games. Small wins!
Side note, are we able to update games without accessing the store / updating firmware? Ordered a few games coming this week and want to update with day 1 patches, but want to stay on 4.03

Yes. Read the thread I made. Just be quick to pause the update, deleting it will just make it come back and restart downloading.

Crap. Should've searched for this before formatting my PS5 and restoring a backup. I can't access my old games anymore.
But FYI, restoring a PS5 backup clears the "Other" storage but it will remove the licenses of downloaded games and turn off offline play. My "Other" storage was already around 300GB which was almost half the size of the internal storage and it was driving me insane. But now that this loophole has been closed I can't play my downloaded games anymore.

Hey everyone I got this to work again by using advanced settings when setting up when setting up your Network using a port and when you try to login to PSN Plus or NOW you will get a DNS error message, similar as before & also like before restart your PS5 & BAM!! you will be automatically already logged back online. Im using PDAnet on my Android phone for hotspot access, so I guess Im using a proxy address with the port access. But it WORKS for us wanting to stay on 04.03 firmware for that upcoming jailbreak that we all know is coming sooner than later. Peace/!

Sure thing man, I believe these 2 pics here that I post should confirm. Shows my console firmware on 04.03 & the other shows me logged into PSN Plus website showing this months new releases we can download to play from Plus.
Couldn't tell if this was a question due to the April Fools comment but no, I don't have a PS4 but yes they are legit PS5 games that I previously bought from PSN before I stopped updating my firmware. They were already installed but I had to reset my PS5 due to my Other files ballooning in size. It was taking up more than half of the PS5's total space. After re-initialising my PS5, I lost access to the legit games so I want to re-download them again.
Dunno if it's still possible. I have updating set to automatic, so I've never tried it.
