First BD-J + Kernel access exploit provided by Sleirsgoevy (29/9/22)

Note: Though there are three USERLAND exploits and one KERNEL exploit, there are no public HYPERVISOR exploits available to complete the full exploit chain. A hypervisor exploit was rumoured to be held in private that only works on <3.00 firmware, and recently Flatz confirmed he has developed his own 2.50 HV exploit (kept private) which was chained from a PS4 save game, and has successfully dumped PlayStation Secure Processor (27/07/23).

Spoiler: Hacking Timeline

As of August 4th 2022: We can now install PS4/PS5 PKG games and updates (and by extension FPKGs) however official PKGs cannot be run unless you legitimately owned them previously digitally and have a licence for them on your current console, or if you own the disc (for update pkgs).

As of October 6th PS4 FPKG can be played on 4.03 OFW thanks to Sliersgoevy FPKG enabler!

Payload: https://gbatemp.net/download/4-03-fpkg-enabler-hen.38248/

As of October 21st PS4 FPKG can be played on 4.50 thanks to cheburek3000 porting offsets.

Payload: https://gbatemp.net/download/4-50-fpkg-enabler-hen.38279/

As of October 25th theflow0 fixes BD-J path traversal and native code execution for 7.61
https://x.com/theflow0/status/1717088032031982066?s=46&t=PIYQV4jmWEyCbVfx3Nx26g

As of November 4th ktuff is fixed for 4.51:

Payload: https://gbatemp.net/download/fpkg-enabler-4-51-hen.38306/

Nov 7th PS5 backups loaded via Itemzflow by Lightningmodz and Echostretch. Fully decrypted dumps require system files bundled into them in order to run without crashing with Libhijacker (no hen required), details here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/ps5-exploit-guide.613891/page-109#post-10290677

As of November 30th ps5debug has been released by SiSTR0: https://github.com/GoldHEN/ps5debug
Mirror: https://gbatemp.net/download/ps5debug.38333/

Dec 1st: first PS5 trainer (Dark Souls) is completed ready for the imminent release of REAPER Multi Trainer II by CTN.

Dec 25th: PS5 back up loading via ITEMZFLOW now released: https://pkg-zone.com/details/ITEM00001

As of Jan 2nd 2024 Sleirsgoevy has ported K-Stuff offsets for 3.xx firmwares.

As of Jan 4th 2024 LM had added 3.XX Kstuff to Itemzflow meaning 3.XX-4.51 is now supported for PS4/PS5 backups and dumping.

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.

If you are on 1.XX-2.XX do not update at all, it may take years but HV exploit exists in private for this firmware range.
If you are on 3.XX-4.02: the advice is to update to 4.03, but don’t be tempted to update to 4.51 yet.

3: PS5 FPKGs won’t work as HEN and HV/kernel patches do not publicly exist for PS5 content yet.

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!

Work this with Fpkg Okage Shadow King installed on my PS4 9.00?

 

[Ukulele82]

I have Okage installed on my PS5 6.0 and have jailbroken PS4 5.05 without any active PSN account (just one local account). Can I run that new exploit somehow? I mean, how to transfer licenses from PS5 to PS4 and run legit Okage copy on jailbroken PS4? Impossible?

It works, but what's the point?
If you can install fpkg's already, then you have no use for mast1c0re.
And once you update from 9.00 to something else, then fpkg Okage won't work anymore because of a missing legit license.

This isn't useful in any way if your goal is hacking a console for hen/fpkgs and such things that can't be hacked with other actual methods. This is only some kind of entrypoint not a kernel exploit and requires a legaly bought and downloaded copy of this game on the console you want to hack. As stated in the article mostly this will only lead to homebrew in the near future. The only possible use for "us" could be that in the future they found a kernel exploit without a entrypoint. Then maybe this will be the new entrypoint if they manage to escape the userland.

So:
- if you currently have a console on latest version with psn access buying and downloading this for the future is a good idea if the money for the game doesn't hurt you

- for consoles that can currently be hacked: could be a new entry point in the future without needing websites or usb sticks (only for ppl who had legaly bought and downloaded the game from psn before they hacked their console)

- for consoles that can't be hacked currently: only limited homebrew in near future and MAYBE leading to a entrypoint when a new kernel hack is found for current fw

 

[godreborn]

New ps+ games on the 21st including wild arms 2 and legend of dragoon. I heard that you get them for free if you bought them on the ps3.

Part 3 is up

Still awaiting CTurtE’s part 2 though…

Hope Cturt Release Part 2,this Part 3 can only JB New PS4 Firmwares,not PS5 yet

If you were on FW 4.5 without Okage, what would be your bet and why:
a. wait or
b. upgrade to the latest FW and Buy Okage?
c. Other?

Pretty sure patience (a) is the safest bet but asking here just in case I am missing the bigger picture and significance of recent developments (https://mccaulay.co.uk/mast1c0re-part-3-escaping-the-emulator/).

it's only for ps2 games afaik, so if that matters to you...

you did see where lightning mods added in what you wanted, correct? I quoted your post. it's in the ps4 thread. anyway, you have to go on discord to get it. that's where most devs are hanging out these days anyway, so you won't regret it.

So I loaded up my ps4 and went to see if there was an update and there was stating it was 1.03 was updated 2/12/23 But was still 1.03 not 1.04 ..And then I checked the pkg installer tried to install a pkg and when it was done it through me back to the main settings in the app so it doesn't look like it was fixed yet unless theres a newer update LM has but this one did not work ..Just want to install a pkg and when it's done installing it would just stay in that folder and I can install the other packages that are in that same folder ..Thanks tho godreborn
