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!

Hmmm how do you pull up cheat menu in EtaHen with cheats loaded? I've been looking everywhere for the option.

 

[KiiWii]

there's also something nice coming on christmas (not just ps5 related)

[jammybudga777]

Dumb question. But can I use my external hard drive from my ps4? Will the games show up on ps5?

 

[Adam512]

theoretical question: can friends play games together if one has PS4(5.05) and the other plays PS4 games on PS5(4.03) ?

then they have another PS5 on the latest FW(online)... can it be combined somehow so they can play some games together? for example cod zombies

Wait, working WITH Sony? That would be cool if Sony gives an approval

Yeah it was also on PS4

Does anyone know how to operate the ETAHEN w/cheats once loaded? Like how to bring up the cheat menu or even where to install the cheats for usage etc....

Asking LM now, I couldn’t find a proper readme, but I assume it’s documented in the payload somewhere?

 

[KiiWii]

Should use illusions button combos for hz patches

• Press Square and Triangle to toggle patch apply state.
• Press Square and Circle to toggle fliprate apply state.

5.00: MAR 23rd 2022
6.00: SEP 7th 2022

Which update was specifically for PSVR2?

If your hacked PS5 was online before and you are still logged on your PS5 and kept login and password then local remote play over VPN should be possible. So in theory, if you set a vpn server at home and your friend has a good router e.g. Asus (Merlin / Openwrt compatible), they can connect to your VPN from the router and assign their ps5 ip to that connection. Successfully tested from a remote PC with Chiaki. Since this would be from a PS5 then I guess the VPN will have to be bridged, not routed (as opposed to Chiaki, Remote Play app on PC demands same subnet so Routed OVPN or Wireguard are no-gos, I guess PS5 will require the same).

If you have no activated PSN account on your PS5, you will have to wait for a PS5 version of REN (Remote Enabler) and the network requirements should be same as the above.

Don't hold me too it but I think 4.51 was first vr2

 

[FR0ZN]

Don't hold me too it but I think 4.51 was first vr2

I doubt that...
4.51 was released on March 8th 2022
PSVR2 was released on February 22nd 2023

6.50 is a potential candidate as it was released on January 13th 2023.
