PS5 Exploit Guide

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.

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)

Select Your Jailbreak:


WEBKIT:BD-JB:LUA:Y2JB:NFNH:YARPE:LuaC0re:BD-UN-JB:


  1. Information:
    Firmware 1.00-5.50 is required for webkit exploit.

    Enabling web browser:
    Open [Settings] > select [Users & Accounts] > select [YouTube] > click "Link" > click "use browser" > click "terms" (bottom right) > click google apps icon (top right) > select Google Search.

    Exploiting:
    Enter https://zecoxao.github.io/luasauce/ or https://github.com/kmeps4/PSFree into google > "Click Jailbreak" or wait for it to complete.

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

  2. Important:
    You will need a BD dive paired to your Slim/Pro console or an OG Phat model . Consoles must be on 1.00-7.61 to run this exploit.


    Recommended ISO: Viktorious AIO Auto BD-JB ISO for 4.XX-7.61

    Exploiting:
    1, Burn ISO to a blank BD-R or BD-RE > Insert into console > click on the [DISC PLAYER] icon.

    2, Highlight [PIPELINE RUNNER] > click option 2 [Normaljailbreak-etaHEN-UMTX1.pipe] to auto load etaHEN ready for ItemzFlow.

    ELF Loader uses PS5 IP: port 9021 / BIN loader uses 9020 / Jar loader uses port 9025

    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.

  6. Important:
    YARPE works from 4.30 to 12.70 (9.00 - 12.07 via P2JB)
    (A compatible PS4 game is required to launch the exploit on PS5. See below)

    Requirements:
    PS5 console must be on 4.30-10.01 to use this exploit.

    Exploiting:
    coming soon

  7. Requirements:
    PS5 console must be on 4.30-12.70 to use this exploit. SWRR

    Exploiting:
    coming soon

    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.

Is it this (expensive don't buy)
https://ebay.us/m/hh0pLO

It's an 8-pin FFC/FPC ribbon these are cheap and don't need to be a sony original. Search for something like 1mm 8 pin FFC and you will need to measure the width of the pins because they are categorized by that probably 1mm also make sure the length is suitable
I'll look into that, maybe it will help my ps4 as well. Same problem.

Depending on which firmware your console is on, new findings and exploits might not even concern you to begin with.

My PS5 is on 5.00 right now so I doubt that I'll see HV exploit any time soon (mainly because it's still coming to 3.xx-4.xx), nor will I update to make use of Lua exploitable games that I don' even t have. :D My PS4 is on 9.00 and I'm just checking whether lapse exploit is stable enough so that I put away my ESP32-S2 USB dongle.

PS4 and PS5 scene is a funny one, unlike Switch one where, if you have a jailbroken console, you're pretty much checking whether it's safe to update or not to the latest firmware. On the other hand, if you have a jailbroken PS4 or PS5, most of the time you're pretty much sitting on whichever firmware you're currently on because the best thing to do is stay as low as possible, waiting to see if something new will become available on firmware you're on.

And yeah, people are probably on a vacation these days, taking a well-earned rest hopefully somewhere really nice, doing things they love to do.

I'm not to fussed about HV, Linux, WebKit. Sometimes even small jumps like auto booting UMTX/etahen, kStuff toggle, controller shortcuts are game changers in themselves. Would settle for less KP and more stability ;)

Linux is still being worked on RN.

I think that’s the focus.
 
Guys, let the devs do their work. Yes, a ton of lua stuff is released, but a bunch of background info isn't. Look at it this way. They broadened their scope of work to.many firmware. True, they are not focusing on other things seemingly, but things are being ironed out across the board. Let things stabilize, then they will use focussed efforts on the more niche things. Scattered work and scattered efforts aren't as effective, because not each high end developer does the same thing. They work with and off each other. Let them settle, and then when the time is right, shit will go down. They did a ton for low fw people in the recent past. Let them do a little for high fw people (yes lua). Trust that it will happen in the future.

Try to keep morale UP for the devs, not just saying they aren't spreading the love. Because, in fact, that's what they are doing now. Spreading the love to those that didn't have what the low fw have had.

Also, the higher fe stuff affects like 10748% more people. (Real, scientific numbers ofc). I'm on 3.2, so I can't do much. I'm also waiting patiently, so don't think I'm biased.

Right, up to 6.50fw. I'm also curious about what LM said about being able to Launch 99% of games from folders without issues. Not sure if that also means resolving the SDK/Driver issues regarding backports as well...?
 
Wonder if things slow anyway during the summer. In middle of heatwave here and almost impossible to do anything. Didn't even have the energy to check gbatemp much for last three days. Must be tough on Devs to....
Xeco did say that his keys friend was sick, so development is probably put on hold.
 
Out of curiosity, can any artemis game be used for the LUA exploit? Or is there a chance some of them can't be made compatible with the lua loader? I'm just wondering if it's possible at all to find any regular artemis games anymore, or if scalpers have grabbed every single one in anticipation of an exploit.

Well I'm selfish and on 4.03. I wish all devs would just focus on 4.03-7.53. Anything higher should just get PS4 backup loading with fps patches. Damn that didnt sound so evil when it was in my head lol.

I know your joking but I think ps5 scene was stagnating for a while until kStuff and homebrew was ported to 5.xx, 6.xx and 7.xx. Suddenly new Devs or projects appeared on scene, cost of ps5 on <5.00 dropped and existing Devs suddenly had access to more donations as plenty of people were stuck with consoles that had no hope. Also when PS4 scene succeeds, PS5 will benefit from that and vice versa. One example is Lua. So when kStuff/Homebrew appears on 8.xx,9xx,etc you will have another explosion in activity and creation 🥳

I had forgotten I even had a PS5 in the corner gathering dust until a few months ago. I bought it a few years ago and right now I'm invested time being on a lower firmware. I'm waiting for a working dump of Wukong And then i will update to play. I could always buy it but I'm invested in running backups.

I am kind of happy stuff is available for higher firmware. It was pitiful coming into the thread and people having firmware not being supported. The devs are doing a great job and things are moving steadily. I was able to pick up that lua PS4 Triangle gsme for only $28 and now its $55+ everywhere......

Most known Artemis games already work with the latest RLL. The only confirmed one still untested, as far as I know, is Curious Queen, but it might be compatible like the others from the Tonari ni Kanojo no Iru Shiawase series. Doukyuusei Remake CSver is also confirmed as Artemis, but it doesn’t work yet with RLL. It’s likely to work in the future, though. Just keep in mind it requires higher firmware to run, as it was released in 2024. iMel has released over 250 games as of March 2023, but some aren’t listed on their website due to contractual or age restrictions. Scalpers might have grabbed most of the known ones already, but there may still be undiscovered compatible games out there.
 
Well I've got mine on the way, found a decent price and it's a confirmed games so bit of peace of mind. One question, which I'm sorry to ask as I'm sure it's been asked loads, but is there no way to activate your own account on an older fw console in order to use the Lua exploit?

I've seen that backups from other people are floating around, that have the modified game saves baked into them. So is that the only option in order to get the exploitable save game on an older system, since activation is needed for ps4 save transfers?

Or can you transfer a whole ps4 backup with the modified save game to a ps5 without activation, would that work too?

I did the offline activation with my ps5 on 2.00 I've updated to 2.50 but since it wasn't a Sony activated account I can't transfer save data without the ftp server. So if you can't already jailbreak it and you didn't activate on Sony servers then the only way to get the modified save data is with a backup. Or updating to latest firmware to activate with Sony...
