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)

   Debug settings will be loaded, and the package installer can be found under [SETTINGS] > [DEBUG SETTINGS].
   
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.

   Debug settings will be loaded, and the package installer can be found under [SETTINGS] > [DEBUG SETTINGS].
   
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.

Without HV you can play pirated ps4 and ps5 games and brew up to 7.61 currently, and up to 10.01 soon.

Up to 5.50 you can use webkit + utmx2 (including digital consoles), up to 7.61 you can use BDJB + umtx2, and up to 10.01 you will be able to use Lua + umtx.

You can actually use Lua for all FWs, though you will need an activated bd drive on slims or pros, or an old console with a drive built in.

It’s complicated, but it’s doable.

Bug bounties are the reason, why release for free when you can get paid first. Theflow and others are making big money and still releasing exploits, it’s just a far slower process.

Nothing is guaranteed either, there is no obligation for anyone to release anything publicly.

Hey, can someone explaine what i can do on jailbreak without HV exploit ? And idk wtf is wrong with jailbreak community those days, they stand on corpo side sony/nintendo against normal peope, from when and why ? The true spirit of jailbreaking consoles was always to able play copies, intstall hombrew apps, games.

That's how the money scam works...

this is because the community has changed where people demand stuff from devs, people steal hacks and sell them for a high price when it should be free. so after a while the devs think why not look after myself and who can blame them when a majority of the community is greedy and selfish. ungrateful users or $20,000 in the bank, i know which one i'd pick

Id argue that the average user who jailbreaks their console think it's cool and appreciates it. They might not donate or be on social media and generally have no idea what's going on in the scene, the drama,etc.

The use of social media and discord channels has made things a bit complicated but my experience on twitter and forums like gbatemp is that the interactions are mostly a positive one.

You can have a 100 pleasant posts, likes, even a donation. But sadly all it takes sometimes is a really horrible comment or unpleasant drama to scare off a Dev.
But that's why its important to focus on the positive aspects and put it into perspective.

Stealing other peoples work is nothing new. It has been happening since creation of internet and long before then. Again with social media or forums, it's relatively easy to prove who is genuine and who is fake.

Some of my favourite Devs are confident characters who don't seem to have ego. They enjoy sharing their discoveries and helping others. From this a whole community has grown from content creators to interesting forums like here. This is the true legacy of scene.

Totally agree. Most people just enjoy the jailbreak and don’t see the effort behind it. It’s sad that some devs barely get the credit they deserve, especially when others end up taking it, whether on purpose or not. Even if some are doing well outside the scene, it doesn’t make it right.

One toxic comment can undo a ton of support, which is rough. Gotta appreciate the devs who keep sharing just because they love it. They’re the backbone of the whole community.

It is a win win for all. The devs can earn money and they help everybody. Sony and all users who play online on Sony servers are happy because it is safer and there are far less cheaters. The ones who want to jailbreak the system and run homebrew and so on can also do it after some time without annoying the online people with their cheats and wallhacks and who knows what. Everybody is happy except some guys who will never be happy in their life and just know how to complain, no matter what.

Thanks to all the devs and people who are helping to remove the chains of all this different devices.

Who else thinks that cheating in online games should be punished in real life? I really do not like cheaters in online games and sometimes i feel like only this skillles chuds are complaining because they can not hack online anymore like they used to on PS3.

Would it be possible to update the main page adding up to 7.61?

PS5 HACK STATUS:

Golden FWs:
2.50 = etaHEN/Kstuff+HV exploit
4.50 = etaHEN/Kstuff (PS5/PS4 backups, possibility for HV exploit)
5.00-6.50 = etaHEN/Kstuff (PS5/PS4 backups, no HV exploits)

(2.XX-7.61 can be exploited to dump games. EtaHEN is required to play backups, but is unavailable for >6.50)

If there is some reason its not being updated then ok, thank you anyway
I appreciate everything you do here in the forum KiiWii

Considering how much hardware is needed to probe and analyze the system due to all the extra security measures Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo put in especially all the extra discrete processing chips that obfuscate security stuff from the OS. The hardware needed to crack these systems isn't cheap so the devs need someway to fund their research. If more people donated rather than demand free stuff we might have had so many more talented devs working on breaking these systems.

4.51 is also on the list.

OP updated, thanks @JBizzle3rd and @lotnybartek for reminding me.

I do plan on rewriting both guides PS4/PS5 for ease soon, because much has changed (finally) and should be condensed down a lot.

..but I’ve been planning a rewrite since PPPwn… so…

@KiiWii 2.70 also has HV exploit

Guys, I'm looking into buying another console in standard edition, unfortunately the prices are quite expensive for a jailbreakable version whether on eBay or other sites.

So I'm trying to look at the Japanese or Chinese versions which seem to be cheaper ?

Do you have a tip for getting a console shipped from Japan to America or France ?

So what do you think of sites like Alibaba where we see "prices that are too good to be true" ?
