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.

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.

what firmware you on using the python script with?

I don't know if that is better than the Backport Kitchen because if I remember right, the downgrade sdk method was just 1 below. I have to say that I was on 4.03 2 weeks ago and I updated to 7.61 and been using the Backpork Kitchen app and everything been 100% working for me ever since. Now when I tried using the Backport app with 4.03 on games like Black Myth Wukong, Silent HIll 2, etc... they wouldn't load unfortunately.....

I don't see how the firmware being targeted has anything to do with the python script aborting because the eboot.bin was signed and not unsigned. The script allows you to choose what minimum firmware it targets so it changes all the required files to that selected firmware. The problem with backpork kitchen is that it only patches the library files, it doesn't downgrade the targeted firmware in the param and eboot.bin as is stated in the backpork repository. In order for things to work properly both things must be done. Backpork kitchen is the last step, the first step is to change the target firmware version before the fake lib patches.

I don't see how the firmware being targeted has anything to do with the python script aborting because the eboot.bin was signed and not unsigned. The script allows you to choose what minimum firmware it targets so it changes all the required files to that selected firmware. The problem with backpork kitchen is that it only patches the library files, it doesn't downgrade the targeted firmware in the param and eboot.bin as is stated in the backpork repository. In order for things to work properly both things must be done. Backpork kitchen is the last step, the first step is to change the target firmware version before the fake lib patches.

I only use "Duplex" releases for them higher firmware games. Never had a problem. Duplex rules!

Yeah. That's all I would ever get back in the ps3 custom firmware days. I figured it out though, there's a program that will decrypt the fake signed files into .elf files to be downgraded. Now I can test it out when I get back home.

Quick question please...

I appreciate that the recommended way to run dumps is via an nvme through usb....

However I would like to know if anyone has any first hand experience of using a SATA SSD through usb and how has it performed????

I'd like to find out if games such as Astro, Wukong, FC 26 and Cyberpunk would run without issues via sata

np-fake-signin.... Don't get me started on this little exploit.... Sure it may work for some and guess what, it definetly will not work as intended for others! I found that it would revert back by itself... with some boot cycles it was applied then with other boot cycles it was mysteriously reverted! And then there was the constant failures in lapse or the kernel exploit...and yes, ps4 saves were unlocked and i thought yippee.. until i rebooted and zip! I rebuiilt my console probsbly 4 maybe 5 times that week and all i can say is never again!!!

The prerequisites are:

• Offline activation via offact (account must have a non-zero account ID) >>> THIS WAS PRESENT FOR ME
• PS4 Payload SDK or PS5 Payload SDK >> I ASSUME I NEEDED TO DO NOTHING HERE
• HMAC-MD5 key for dat file signing (replace the zeroes in source files with the real key) >>> NO IDEA WHAT THIS MEANS JUST ASSUME I DIDN'T NEED TO DO ANYTHING

I have an activated PSN PS5 JB (10.01) and no I cannot export PS4 saves. You will get the message that you need to sign in / update your console

Actually, the same was for me... On my 9.20 system i had a PSN account which was activated (np) but usb saves would not work. I'm trying to figure out how i activated it as it was definetly my PSN id with the same hex number and the same avatar. I think i made an image from my 11.60 system which was used for PSN at the time. So when i restored that image to the digital 9.05/9.20 console i had an activated account however the USB saves were not unlocked!

Wait it does? I applied the fake-signin and then after a few reboots, it now says I'm signed out, and I can't use ps4 save transfer anymore.
I haven't tried to reapply the payload, so hopefully it still works and doesn't give me an issue, but if it's gonna keep reverting, I'll just wait until I need to transfer saves etc before sending the payload again.

This kept on happening to me! I explained this to earthonion and frankly he was at a loss to why that was happening... I think there is something about the user accounts thats causing this behaviour... Now, if one has a totally virgin account I'm wondering if the same issue would persist..?

You can try np-fake-signin without risk if you want (of course the last version, not the beta lol).
Because now is working only on the active account, so you can create many accounts as you like, do your tests and after delete the account if you want.
Always you don't installed it on your main account there is not risk at all.

Do you have multiple accounts? I'm using my offact account on an itsPLK backup, so it has two accounts on it. After using the payload, I noticed the console always auto selects the itsPLK profile first even if I haven't used it. (I believe the console is supposed to select the last used profile, but could be wrong).

I tried loading the itsPLK profile, but that isn't signed in either, not sure if the payload has issues with multiple user consoles maybe?

Yes, seems that is not active but is not true, even you cannot do the save transfer, the PS5 think that you are online, and on PS4 is worst, you cannot go to settings if you have a Internet hard-lock on the console.

reverse sign in (sign out):

Settings > Users and Accounts > Other > Sign out

7.61 with m.2. Before etaHEN 2.5 constant KPs when trying to load etaHEN+toolbox from autoloader. as workaround I used the no_kstuff-file and loaded kstuff with a delay of 7sec. Sadly np-fake-signin reintroduced the KPs for me. I managed to get toolbox loading using previous method, but the 'launch itemzflow' option in toolbox remained unusable. After 'np-sign-out' I'm back to near100% successrate: y2jb-etaHEN(kstuff incl.)+toolbox-itemzflow

Don't sure if I understand you, What I know is that you have the winning combination y2jb autoload+etaHEN(kstuff incl.)+toolbox+ np-sign+m.2... so you are having KP randomly I am sure about that..

The only thing that you are in a lower firmware, lucky of that because if you were in FW 10.xx, you will have 3 KP in a row with this wining combination...

All this because np-fake-signin is permanent no matter if you do a singn-off like said the doc...

Anyway there is an easy workaround, create a new user, configure your autoload like before you said that was perfect for you and boot the console with your new user...
That's have to work like before you ran the np-fake-signin..

No, you have the control to set on the console which ones of your user has to login automatically..

Another weird thing, I was doing the database edit for y2jb, then like a dumbass I launched a game before rebooting and it corrupted the database. It wiped everything, luckily I had the database on my usb, so I physically restored it and got my games back.

They boot fine and everything. However, as you can see below, some of the games don't have tile icons anymore, included the youtube app on the media tab (which never had the modified y2jb icon despite it being there in the files).

So my question, is there any way to get the icons back? I think they're still there in the files, is there a way to force a kinda refresh or something on the icons?

Spoiler: Broken Icons

Sorry, i got side tracked.. what was your question again?

Uh, yeah that's my thing I've been working on... I think the custom icon turned out well. That's why a while back I was trying to modify the fullscreen image the ps5 shows, but I never found it's actual location, just the launch screen one.
...and it's a lot more than just a custom icon...
So yeah, it was something about the icons going poof...

Maybe because you use 20 payloads a day . My hacked ps5 only has one user not 11

My hacked ps4 with activated account via apollo app failed at first for few times to read you ps4 save files from ps5 from ps4 system settings so I just enter and exit that option until it reads ps4 save files from ps5

I didn’t use fake sign payload on ps4 at all.

I just thought you had the normal everyday LUA exploit game when I saw the icon.

Star Wars Outlaws still does not work on 9.20! I tried a backpork and totally messed things up.. The credits load, the cut scene loads but when you get to the actual gameplay it's a pseudo-blank screen where you can move around in open world but you can't see any graphics....other than a few random dots whcih look like dead pixels moving around the screen... Oh you can still hear the audio mind you...

So, is this a job for Backpork Kitchen? Not really cooked pork in a while lol . Too much red meat is bad for you they say lol...
