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!

I'm currently experimenting with BD-RE drives and many different softwares. Let y'all know if anything positive comes out of it. (PS4 & PS5)

 

[eeosman]

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

I have added this info to the front page

Thank you.

Yeah, Mystic shows it in Spider-Man 2 Bundle unboxing video.

 

[Adam512]

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

Sony DRM gone mad. RIP.

@eeosman

I read this on the internet:

"So how exactly does the DRM work? Well in addition to needing to sync it to the console online first before it can be used, it apparently has to be reconnected to the internet everytime the PS5's database is rebuilt, something players do from time to time to keep the system working well or because an update or reset demands it."

"As the preservation account “Does it play” wrote, “In this scenario, once the service you need to connect to is gone, you can no longer use the disc drive.”

--------

BDJ is not the only userland option, maybe a webkit exploit will appear in the future, but just maybe... anyway, I strongly recommend buying the PS5 disc version (normal CFI-12xx version). Almost all older versions you buy now will have 7.61 or lower (BDJ exploit functional) and at the same time a paired disc drive.

Very good video

@Adam512 is it the power down animation itself that’s changed?

I’m on 8.00.02 for sure.

Meh it doesn’t matter.

[KiiWii]

@Adam512 yeah sorry 8.20.02 (typo)

 

[Adam512]

@KiiWii can you see difference between the old and new animation according to the video?

Otherwise could you please please check your PS5 version if you have "23.02-08.20.00....." or "23.02-08.20.02....." ... please please thank you very much

 

[White_Raven_X]

The difference seems pretty lame to me. Why did they even spend time to change it?

 

[KiiWii]

@Adam512 definitely latest 8.20.02

@White_Raven_X yeah it’s pretty minor, I didn’t notice it tbh. I wonder if it’s to make it generic for the slim, or if the slim has a separate one. Idk.

 

[Adam512]

I've also seen this with a game streamer who has been streaming from PS5 for a long time, so I think even the old PS5 version has this new animation...
The old animation didn't look like the new PS5 (slim), so maybe they changed it to be as uniform as possible in my opinion so they don't have to create more different animations

@Adam512 definitely latest 8.20.02

on the internet, https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps5/Official_Firmware , the long name is written incorrectly for the latest FW (maybe)

 

[KiiWii]

@Adam512 yes on the wiki it’s been copy/pasted wrong.

 

[KiiWii]

Eurgh another horrible PS5 slim situation:

Bad news for those who thought they'd preserve the #PS5Slim by registering multiple drives to their console to be able to swap them if one breaks.

After releasing his very informative breakdown video, we talked to @MysticRyan. His testing showed, if you register a second drive,…

— Does it play? (@DoesItPlay1) November 12, 2023

Sony are probably cracking down on exploit vectors but in the process are creating an e-waste nightmare.

 

[Adam512]

Yes that is bad news ... It looks like one man can have multiple marriages but a woman cannot have multiple marriages (the man in this case disc drive)

 

[Jayinem]

It's smart to buy a PS5 on low firmware any time you can but anyone thinking they're going to buy one and play any PS5 backup, even just ones compatible with the older firmware, is mistaken at least for now. This is the first "compatible list" mostly games are crashing. Still a WIP hopefully to be much improved later.

Agreed. I have seen heaps of people (since this news update) say “guess I’m buying a ps5 now”.. but good luck getting a 4.XX…

They are slowly appearing on UK eBay, But ridiculous money

 

[Xen0]

Is there anything confirmed that´s worth sitting at FW 2.70? Feels like going to 3.XX might be worth it for now.

 

[FR0ZN]

Is there anything confirmed that´s worth sitting at FW 2.70? Feels like going to 3.XX might be worth it for now.

Stay there.
The only interesting thing currently is PS4 FPKGs and that only works on 4.xx currently - not even 3.xx.
Just wait a little bit longer there is nothing worth updating for currently.

 

[Jayinem]

Exactly keep the firmware as low as possible. Even on 4.03 they're not playing a bunch of PS5 backups yet most games crash. Just stay and wait unless as already mentioned you don't have a PS4 and want to play PS4 backups there's zero reason to not be on the lowest possible firmware because they're more likely to have an exploit down the road.

The only one in U.S. when I searched 4.03 is $1399 starting bid lmao.
