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!

Can someone send me (or attach) an original 4.03 bdjstack.jar file from 0://system_ex/app/NPXS40140//cdc/ ? I was playing with BDJPlus (Euro Ali) and deleted original one. ;/

If it’s a system file it shouldn’t be shared on this forum as it’s copyright.

 

[KiiWii]

@Adam512 it looks the same. Is it just centred now?

I’ll check when I get home..

Mine looks the same as ever on 8.00, idk maybe mine isn’t 8.00 v2 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Maybe I'm just blind, but is there an actual written tutorial here? I see a bunch of links and ressources for people that know what they are doing but not for beginners. I found some videos online but afaik "written guide > outdated video".

I do need to get it together a bit better on this one. I’ll do it soon.

In essence the same as PS4: you go to a host and load a payload done. It’s super easy

I'm lazy so I am still waiting for the Blu Ray Disc all in one LOL that will include etaHEN

 

[Adam512]

I still haven't bought a BlueRay burner or nvme drive.. but I plan to buy both if needed. I would say that the mvme disc will definitely be needed as the games get bigger and mainly because of the lifespan of the console.

I would like the internal drive to last as long as possible, so I would install everything on an external drive, but how big of a drive? 1TB nvme seems low and 4TB seems a lot to me, so at least 2TB nvme? 8TB is already very expensive.

what is your opinion on it? how big of a drive did you buy?

Same. Bought a BD burner two years ago and haven't taken it out of the box.

I haven't even updated the drive yet lol. Im debating on the 4TB or 8TB one, but still on the fence because PS5 don't have no games yet that I am dying to play, so the PS4 ones is enough for me. Its crazy had this thing for more then 2 years and only played it maybe 3 times before the PS4 fpkg support.

I would say calculate how many PS5 games you are actually gonna play and multiple them by 100GB. Space is gonna run out quick if we just download for the hell of it once opened up. I recall having 400+ wii games and only playing 3 lol.

Slim PS5 comes with 7.40 fw oob. Do you guys recommend keeping it as it is or register the disc drive first? It is mandatory to update fw online to pair disc drive. All digital 7.40 vs with disc drive 8.20?

I have seen people registering the drive online but no ones said whether it required a firmware update first, I imagine it does.

You are going to have to register the drive if you want to use it in future, unless a way to spoof activation comes, which could take years if ever.

 

[KiiWii]

A library update (v1.2.0) is available in PS Multi Tools. It automizes the steps 1-6 from @StretchEcho's draft, all over FTP with the 'FTP Grabber' (as alternative). The disadvantage is the time required to dump the game itself. Still needs dec. SELF files

Btw this has been confirmed: you MUST update to latest to pair your drive.

Sony DRM gone mad. RIP.

@eeosman is slim 100% “7.40” out the box?

I have added this info to the front page

Thank you.
