PS5 Hack Status:

FW Ranges:
2.XX = KEX+HV: PS4/5 backups, possible keys exploit (WK: 2.50 best / 2.7X max)
3.XX = KEX+HV+Linux: PS4/5 backups, possible keys exploit (WK/BD/LUA: 3.20 best / 3.21 max)
4.XX = KEX+HV+Linux: PS4/5 backups (WK/BD/LUA (Y2/NF/YARPE 4.03+): 4.50 best / 4.51 max)
5.XX = KEX+HV+Linux: PS4/5 backups (WK/BD/Y2/NF/LUA/YARPE: 5.50 best + max)
6.XX = KEX: PS4/5 backups (KEX+HV+Linux: 6.02 max) (BD/Y2/NF/LUA/YARPE: 6.02 for Linux / 6.50 max)
7.XX = KEX: PS4/5 backups, no HV (BD/Y2/NF/LUA/YARPE: 7.61 best + max)
8.XX-10.00 = KEX: PS4/5 backups, no HV (Y2/NF/LUA/YARPE)
10.01-12.70 = KEX: PS4/5 backups, no HV (Y2/NF/LUA/YARPE)
13.XX = No KEX/UL only (Y2/LUA/YARPE)

NOTE 1: Recommended firmware is subjective. Staying low is always recommended.
NOTE 2: Do not update too many major versions (e.g., 4.xx to 5.xx or 7.xx to 8.xx). Remain low unless all you want is backups.
NOTE 3: Do not update past 12.00. P2JB can take over an hour to exploit on FW up to 12.70.

Spoiler: System Update Information

To determine your OFW version:
Go to settings > system > console information.

Version string info:
Year.Half (1st/2nd half of the year)-Major Version No.Minor Version No.Extended info-Further Info.Retail/Debug

21.02-04.03.00.00-00.00.00.0.1

It is recommended to keep your console as low as possible to have access to better jailbreak stability and features. Stay as low as possible within the "Golden" firmware brackets that apply to your current firmware, see the top of this page.

(No jailbreak is ever guaranteed. No developer is obliged to release anything publicly)

WARNING:
Only update OFW manually via USB by getting the firmware file from HERE and installing from <USB>:/PS5/UPDATE/PS5UPDATE.PUP
(Updating with RECOVERY PUP will perform a factory format and will wipe your internal HDD)

3. 
   Important:
   LUA entry point works from 2.00 to the latest OFW, but there is no KEX above 12.70 yet.
   (A compatible PS4 game is required to launch the exploit on PS5. See below)
   
   Your PS5 console must be activated to use save copying for PS4 games.
   
   1. Insert your game disc and, as soon as possible, make a save file within it.
   2. Copy the save files to USB, go to [SETTINGS] > [STORAGE] > [CONSOLE STORAGE] > [SAVE DATA] > [PS4 GAMES] > select the game save and copy to a USB drive.
   3. On PC, using a Google Drive account, make a new folder with the GAME ID of your game, and upload the savedata & savedata.bin files to that folder.
   4. Share the folder, set it to editor mode, share with anyone, and click "copy the link".
   5. Join the HTOS Discord group: HERE type "/decrypt", select "FALSE" for including SCE_SYS, paste or type in the Google Drive link, and press enter. The bot should begin mounting your save. (If it doesn't, paste in the link again.)
   6. Click "ENCRYPTED" to remove the Sony PFS layer. Download the generated files and extract the folder to your desktop (you should have 4 files in there and be named dec_savedata_CUSA[GAME ID]).
   7. Using REMOTE LUA LOADER, open the savedata folder, copy the 20 files within into your encrypted save folder on your desktop.
   8. Upload the encrypted save folder (now with 24 files in) to your Google Drive. It should be named "dec_savedata_CUSA[GAME ID]" where GAME ID is your games 5 digit number, and set it to editor mode, share with anyone, and then click "copy the link".
   9. Go back to the HTOS discord server, and type "/encrypt", hit "FALSE" for uploading individually, and "FALSE" to include SCE_SYS. Finally, hit shared_gd_link and paste in your link to the original save (4 files) folder. (If it doesn't, paste in the link again.)
   10. When this is done, paste the link to the decrypted save (24 files) folder, and the bot will encrypt the files.
   11. Resign the files by typing "/resign" followed by your account name on the console, or PSN ID associated with that account if using the latest OFW.
   12. Download the resigned files, extract the files to your USB drive and overwrite them into the savedata folder on your USB or external drive.
   13. Copy the saves back to your console [SETTINGS] > [SAVE DATA AND GAME/APP SETTINGS] > [SAVE DATA PS4] > [COPY OR DELETE FROM USB] > [COPY TO CONSOLE STORAGE] > select your game save folder from the USB drive and copy/overwrite old save data.
   14. Load LUA game again, and you should see the LUA LOADER screen.
   15. You can use "SEND_LUA.PY" to send the UMTX files to the loader.
   (NOTE: Some games require manual loading of save game)
   
   On firmware up to 7.61, you can now load UMTX/2 followed by etaHEN by sending the files to your console IP on PORT 9026.
   On firmware 8.00-LATEST, you can connect with the REMOTE LUA LOADER APP to send debug notifications or FTP on port 1337.

8. 
   Important:
   This method modifies the BD-J stack to allows BD-JB entry point to be re-enabled on consoles up to 13.40, for conveninece only.
   
   Very Important:
   This method requires your console to be jailbroken by another method first to gain access to alter the files.
   
   https://github.com/Gezine/BD-UN-JB
   
   Preparation:
   Burn the ISO to a blank Blu Ray, insert it into the jailbroken console. Send the bdj_unpatch.elf to elfldr using netcat GUI to PS5's IP Address & port 9021 to unpatch BD-J.
   
   (NOTE: DO NOT REINSTALL/UPDATE FW, IT WILL WIPE THE PATCH AND LOSE BD-JB)
   

Once jailbroken it is recommended to run KSTUFF LITE and SHADOWMOUNTPLUS at minimum to get you up and running.
(ShadowMountPlus: is an automated background auto-mounter payload for jailbroken PS5 consoles. Detects, mounts, and installs game dumps from internal or external storage, with support for UFS, exFAT, PFS, and nested compressed PFS containers)

Additional Information:

Blocking Updated with nanoDNS:
Set primary DNS manually to 127.0.0.1. Send latest elf to BIN LOADER using netcat GUI to PS5's IP Address & port 9021.

PS4 GAME INFORMATION:
OFW 1.xx cannot run PS4 games.
OFW 2.xx runs PS4 games up to 8.03
OFW 3.xx runs PS4 games up to 8.52
OFW 4.xx runs PS4 games up to 9.04
OFW 5.xx runs PS4 games up to 9.60
OFW 6.xx runs PS4 games up to 10.50
OFW 7.xx runs PS4 games up to 11.00
OFW 8.xx/9.xx runs PS4 games up to 11.50
OFW 10.xx runs PS4 games up to 12.00
OFW 11.xx runs PS4 games up to 12.50
OFW 12.xx runs PS4 games up to 13.00

(Note: PS4 backported FPKGs also work perfectly on an exploited PS5 with Kstuff)

You can install free/demo PKGS (legit pkgs) via the debug pkg installer, provided you have all the files/json/licences required.
(Astro’s Playroom has no licences and can be installed and played from official pkgs and updated inline with your firmware)

Warnings:

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 for hacks on that firmware.

3: PS5 FPKGs do not work. A hack for the A53 processor does not publicly exist to enable installing PS5 content as FPKG/PKG.

4: Installing legit game PKGs you do not own will never work, even if spoofed.

5: If you get stuck in a boot loop at the PS logo, the SNVS is corrupted (if the hash check fails on boot, this causes a “soft brick”). It’s not “bricked”. Simply reinstall your current firmware RECOVERY PUP in safe mode from USB: PS5 > UPDATE > PS5UPDATE.PUP.

The think the max superspeed is USB10GB/s for the PS5 ports.

Correct. According to Sony, the USB-C port on the front and the 2 type-A ports on the back are max 10Gbps.

 

[FateNightroad]

Correct. According to Sony, the USB-C port on the front and the 2 type-A ports on the back are max 10Gbps.

Yes, and that USB type-A port at the front is NOT superspeed at all, it's much slower. Always use the USB ports at the back if you want fast transfer rates, guys.

 

[lotnybartek]

So theoretical throughput is at a maximum level of 1250 megabytes / second.

 

[iguanoPT]

I have both sata ssd and nvme in a usb enclosure . For PS4 games there's virtually no difference, right?

 

[Aftershock]

I have both sata ssd and nvme in a usb enclosure . For PS4 games there's virtually no difference, right?

Thats correct, the SATA will be just as quick for PS4 games. You will need to format the SSD as extended storage to use for PS4 games though. As far as I know there is no way to put on a normal exfat drive. There was a symlink tool back in the day on PS4 but I never used that. It would be interesting to know if you can point it to standard exfat drives. edit the app by stooged was called app2usb

 

[callmebob]

In case anyone cares, PS22PS4-GUI app works on PS5. Seemed likely since all PS4 pkg work now, but just had to be sure.

To those who ask why PS2 on a much more powerful system, just P.O.C. to say that I can!

Hopefully some can give us PSV on PS5!

 

[ccfman2004]

Anyone have any issue plugging a PS4 Formatted USB external storage device into their PS5 while it is in jailbroken mode where the PS5 just crashes when you plug it in? If my PS5 is in retail mode I just get an error telling me to update my system.

On my PS4 in jailbroken mode it works just fine.

Anyone have any issue plugging a PS4 Formatted USB external storage device into their PS5 while it is in jailbroken mode where the PS5 just crashes when you plug it in? If my PS5 is in retail mode I just get an error telling me to update my system.

Yes the same happened to me when I used my 6tb. I think for that to work you need to have an activated account on both ps4 and ps5. So instead I just formated it to the ps5 and started fresh

I do have an activated account on both systems. It's even the same account as I've used both systems on PSN before.

I was assuming that it would work. But I guess there is some other issues too it. Tbh I just restarted mine. It didn't take too long over the space of a week

RAD (littlstar) devs are now saying end of January for a possible release. At this point I’m pissed off waiting for it just to sideload video.

A homebrew solution will probably come out first.

I'm copying everything back to my 9.00 PS4 since it works there. Good thing I installed a 4TB SSD in it years ago. Then I can reformat it and try again. I can only assume that whatever the jailbreak stuff on the PS4 is doing to allow the drive to work without updating the PS4 system software isn't working on the PS5, yet.

8.50+ formatted drives need a kernel patch (this is done in GoldHEN on ps4) but it probably hasn’t been configured yet for ps5?

Are you on 4.51 PS5 and 9.00 PS4?

9.00 PS4 and 4.50 PS5. I stupidly plugged the drive into a PS5 that had a later system software version.

GoldHEN features

• External HDD Support
• Official External HDD Format Support

I guess these may need porting to FPKGenabler/etahen?

Unless I’m missing something?

If I try plugging in my 4TB HDD external in my 9.00 PS4 while GoldHEN is active it works and the PS4 doesn't complain about needing a system update. On the PS5, if it's plugged in during boot up it will tell me I need to update the system software. While etahen is active the PS5 crashes the second I plug the external in.

Does GoldHEN allow me to use a 240GB external or less or is it still limited to 256GB and higher.

You'll have to format as extended storage on the PS5 to fun Ps4 fpkg's mate. PS5 games you can run on exfat through itemsflow.
