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" ?

Just bite the sour apple and get your ps5 locally it aint worth the headache just Imagine u get scammed or something else happens to the ps5 while in transport

Idk where u live but in the end after taxes and Transport you will pay the sameish price also the transport will take a while

Imho there are to many things that can get wrong

@KiiWii 2.70 also has HV exploit

It does, but I thought 2.70 was a factory firmware? 2.50 is far more achievable in getting a lower one and updating to.

Golden firmware doesn't necessarily mean highest possible for that niche.

Equally 4.50 i hear , is better than 4.51, so that's why I often put 4.50 instead of 4.51.

Try locally first, but you would want to check the firmware and/or the serial number, if you import you would pay for shipping and tariff for importing. Expect to pay atleast like 800 euro.

You are both right, in fact localy is better but I tried but I can't find a flashable version and the few that I find are quite expensive, knowing that I often resell in my country I can't get a console for more than 500 euros for example.

i'm going to try to find if there are good good supplier.

i paid $702 with taxes and shipping included. my unit is 3.20 fw. it was brand new. seller bought it a long time ago, and turned it on to check it. and left it. the seller sent me a NEW picture, showing the system firmware, and a post-it note with my username before i paid.

you can find the same for a slightly higher firmware. i'm keeping mine at 3.2, but you can update yours as needed. look for things that say "Or Best Offer". Offer them like $600, tell them you are ready to pay immediately. Then have them send proof. Then actually pay immediately. You'll get it, no worries. Trust me, pay the extra $100-200. Just do it.

edit. i used ebay. search specifically for "ps5 firmware" or "ps5 low firmware" or "ps5 5.50" etc. RIP to others reading this post 1 year from today; everyone else read it first

You're right, 2.70 is factory-only, and golden firmware is more about compatibility and stability. It usually comes down to how many people are actively testing and developing for it. PS5 still feels early in that regard, and I don’t think there’s a clear golden firmware yet. Btw I recently updated from 7.00 to 7.61 since it seemed more stable, with fewer reports of kernel panics. I haven’t had any since, and it feels closer to the kind of stability 5.05 has on PS4. Maybe the offsets are better refined, not sure. I was a bit worried before, since unlike PS4 where you can just swap the drive, PS5 NAND repairs are a lot more involved and require serious soldering skills in case of hw failure.

Not that easy to find since you are looking for model from 2021/ early 2022

You're right, it doesn't bother me to put 600 dollars, for example, but the problem is that, as I said, I do resale quite often, and in my country, I know the market even for a jailbreaked PS5, people will not be able to buy more than 400$ to buy a PS5.

Exactly that's the problem.

I think 2.50/4.50 and 7.61 should be the golden firmwares.
One for HV now, one for HV later, and one for raw unadulterated piracy lol.

Hopefully they find an HV vulnerability for 5.00+ too

I'm actually shocked that Flatz is working on FPKG support, after the overwhelming message being "it's only useful for piracy".

LM has proven that FPKG is not required to run difficult backups, and anyone who has had a KP on PS5 knows that you can wipe your drive far too easily, or mess up your database, so keeping backups on external drive and using itemzflow is preferable to using the PS5 interface itself.

Perhaps a DB backup will help prevent losing data, but can Flatz prevent the system wiping your drive? I suppose if anyone can it’s him!

madbrainx · May 12, 2025

Could be useful for homebrew apps. They’re all PS4 fpkgs.

JBizzle3rd · May 12, 2025

so many updates to the main page its crazy. the ps5 scene is on fire. What once seemed almost impossible is now almost completely owned. I hope the switch 2 scene blows up as what we got with the switch was just incredible. It seems the modding scenes are just getting better and better as the security becomes tighter and tighter. Nothing is impossible

I imagine there will be a private exploit at some point on the current firmware like the PS4 and you know what that means

Imo, you want to get one from private sellers from Ebay or from sale forums, discord, facebook selling groups.

Ebay can be lucky sometimes, if you catch it at the right time. I just picked up a 3.20 fw Disc edition last week for £445 GBP, complete in original box and hardly used, which is reasonable imo, since other fools are selling at scalper prices in the £1000 mark and above for the same firmware and above.

You can use address forwarders to ship items to their native region and get them to ship to you. I currently use a USA address forwarder to buy USA items, send it their and get them to save on shipping to the UK, so I can avoid import taxes

Buying from Japan works the same too.

Alibaba is okay but for bigger expensive items, i tend to avoid them.

In fact sale forums, discord, selling groups can be a good idea why not, Im going to try it.

This is exactly what I plan to do to have it delivered to my country/adress using shipping services.

It generally works out cheaper, and yes, I agree with you, too, for eBay you also have to be lucky to find a good deal.

The deal you found is really not bad, I think it's a very good deal.

If I can found a way to buy from Japan it will be great.

I found some good deals on Alibaba that were really cheap, but honestly I don't know what they're worth because there are no reviews for the sellers in question, so for me it's a big risk.

I'm also curious about what he said about "speeding up PS4 fpkgs to their native performance". kStuff is great but it's clear that some games still take a hit. Disabling kStuff proved this. Hoping this simplifies everything from fiddling with itemzflow to forgetting to disable stuff....

It wasn't just A kstuff issue. Even with hypervisor exploit we get slow loading times for ps4 fpkgs.

KiiWii · May 12, 2025

Bad news, backup idea didn’t work.

What’s next?

We need to find a webkit exploit that works on 6.00-10.01 at least so that people without a paired drive/digital consoles can still hack their consoles.

I´m joining today the Waiting Game too!
Checked my PS5 what Firmware i had, i used it the last months never, maybe even the whole year.

FW 10.20
Ah Biscuits.

Oh Waiter, a cup of tea for me!

Tilde88 · May 12, 2025

question. on PS5 can we not block off permissions to the update folder like we did on PS4? my guess is they either made it part of the update script to chmod+chown /update, or maybe SELinux enforcing or something. just asking to know
