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!

Even on PS4 you didn't have to be logged into PSN to use Chiaki, but it still required account activation to register to get it to work and I think this does too.

Correct

Target $350 PS5 Disc BF Deal

Was able to snag the Target $350 Model CFI-1215A Disc this morning. Haven't opened it yet, but they all appear to come with 22.02-06.02.00.04-00.00.00.0.1 firmware. Since I already have a Day1 Disc PS5 on 1.02, planned on using this one as an actual system to update and play. Is there a likely-hood of a 6.02 being able to access some sort of cfw?

I appreciate your patience with launch 1.02 ... conse regarding your question, it is very likely that 6.xx will have homebrew. Real CFW is not on PS4 or PS5 yet

I'm curious how it will be in the future with people who have 1.xx and 2.xx, time will tell.

Yeah, was tempted a few times to update to 4.03, but held firm. Will keep it on 1.02 for now, but did update the 6.02 to 8.20 so I could download my PSN library to a M.2 drive. Hopefully, I will be able to pop it into the 1.02 someday and sell the now 8.20 for a Pro model next year.

I doubt it. Like how GoldHEN doesn’t work on ps5 yet.

@White_Raven_X ps4.

Have today the F23 Bundle with Serial F327...have this 5.50 or 5.10?

Think this Christmas came a Kernel Exploit for 5.xx PS5 to play in future Games with VRR

 

[Adam512]

5.xx probably not, maybe 5.02 (there is a public vulnerability) but I rather hope that they will focus their time on improving the existing homebrew and then (soon) there will be a bigger jump (for example min to 6.50 or 7.xx or 8.00 ).. The developers still have lots of fun things they can do with homebrew, for example offline account activation, remote play, Apolo or some way to backup or transfer saves to another console to another account. more research on bdjb, hypervisor, cheat manager, linux, ps4 fpkg sound issues, research on bd unit activation and just lots and lots of things and ideas to do. It would be an awful lot of work if there had to be a biscuit for every FW.

*I don't know if it's true, but I read that ps4 fpkgs work worse on PS5 than on PS4... That they lag on PS5. I don't know if it's true, but if so, I hope they focus on this.

**The game Avatar will be released soon, so I'm curious if the new official FW will be released on that occasion and also what the changelog will be for FW 9.xx ... I'm curious

Hello,

After a week looking for a lower firmware PS5, I've just scored PS5 1002A which was brand new. It's now on firmware 2.5.

What I found out is there is no exploit for firmware 2.5 yet. Is it correct?

TA!

Correct, 4.03 lets you play PS4 games PS5 games are being tested but aren't available yet also on 4.03.
