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!

My PS5 is on 6.50, so there is a chance to jailbreak soon? I'm playing on Xbox and don't need to update.

Based on the latest H1 confirmations I would say 3-6 months minimum, and even then it could be trickled out as 5.xx first. Who knows.

 

[schatzi24]

Yes Summer 24 come Kernel Exploit for FW 5.50 VRR 120HZ and we have also Webkit Exploit

 

[kaeseins]

Hi,

i'm having problems copying files from my laptop to the PS5 using Gigabit LAN. Copying starts fine until the FTP server dies and when trying reconnect to the network, the PS5 crashes. Using the persistent and non-persistent ftp payloads the transfer speed is much slower than with etahen. Are these known issues?

Problem solved, used another Gigabit adapter with a different chipset and this is working fine.

So, zecoxao's assumption "shellcore likely means PS5 FPKG support", but that's from the 3.xx offsets and isn't available for other firmwares, isn't it?

It was being looked into by Sleirs so probably 4.03 and then ported… when it’s done.

Sorry to bug here kinda off topic but I know several guys here are also on psxhax. So it's my chance I think l.

Today I wrote some feedback about the horizon forbidden west dump and afterwards I lost all my write permissions on any topics. Now I can't get in touch with anyone on psxhax to help me with my acc.

My post was fine, it helped the topic so I don't know what happened or what I did wrong in anyones opinion.

I wrote that I fake signed the files but the game won't start. So fine feedback I think and lots of people even don't know how to fake sign so I helped there.....



So if anyone would be so kind to ask a moderator of psxhax to look what's wrong with me? Sashka is my nickname on psxhax. Thank you very much.

 

[kokotas]

I lost my post permissions when I mentioned reddit a couple of years ago xD I didn't even bother... It takes a special kind of person to ban you without warning for something like that.

Did you login via VPN? It could be that the VPN is banned for whatever reason.

You have a posting restriction for not following rules (sharing a Frankensteined remarried package?) but you’re not banned and have access to the PKG areas.

PS5 RPC Client is an client which will update your Discord Rich Presence with the game you're playing on your jailbroken PS5. Requires Discord Desktop App

It requires etaHEN >= 1.4b to be running and have the following entry enabled in the /data/etaHEN/config.ini:

Something is definitely up with my account over there, can you take a look for me as well please? I can browse the homepage but as soon as I log in its completely blank. I'll be Aftershock or Aftershocker over therte as well. I may have posted on the same thread as sashka69 as I was verified and had access to the PKG areas.

Quick question: Do some PS4 FPKG just not work on PS5? Blasphemus 2 and Stray for example do not start and are stuck in their "boot screen".

 

[Aftershock]

PS4 version of Stray works for me on PS5 4.03. What PS5 firmware are you on?

3.00
As far as I´m aware, PS5 FW doesn´t matter for PS4 FPGK as long as you can enable etahen/kstuff.
But it´s good to know it works for you, that means there is a problem on my end ^^

Actually PS5 firmware does mater with some PS4 games as well. Some PS4 games require stuff that is not present in earlier firmwares and won't work without patching that stuff out, if it's nothing too critical and not always possible. You can't always just spoof the firmware.

Stray requires at least PS4 9.00, from what I can find, which is equivalent to PS5 4.03. That could be the issue. Don't quote me on that.

Same happened to me the over day. I only answered to a wonder/question/problem someone had. I dont see how I went against any rules. I actually read them.
