1: Never enable IDU mode.
If you do you will need to enter staff mode by holding L1 + L2 and tapping this combo: circle, cross, square, triangle, right D-Pad. Release L1 + L2 and you can access settings to exit IDU.
2: Try to stay on the lowest FW possible and wait it out for hacks on that firmware.
3: PS5 FPKGs cannot work as a hack for the a53 processor does not publicly exist to enable PS5 content as FPKG/PKG.
4: Installing legit game PKGs you do not own will not work, even if spoofed.
5: If you get stuck in a boot loop at the PS logo, this means the SNVS is corrupted (if hash check fails on boot this causes a “soft brick”).
It’s not “bricked”, just reinstall your current firmware RECOVERY PUP in safe mode!
