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.

Preparing Your Console:


It is recommended to either self-host offline or block these addresses in your router to avoid accidental updates or getting an update nag. Using the DNS method is no longer failsafe, as these are not guaranteed to be running 24/7.

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

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)

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

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

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

    Exploiting:

  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.

You could run linux without HV, it just wouldn't be as good and it's a lot of work either way.
That doesn't seem like the same thing. More like running an emulator inside the current system. It's not totally your product unless you can bypass the Sony system first. Imagine being able to install windows on ps5 hardware

I get where you're coming from, but unless you can name 1000 scalpers who did that, the number is meaningless in comparison to the amount of consoles that actually found their way to customers. Even then we'd talk about less than 2 per cent of total PS5 sales worldwide.
I didn't say 1000 scalpers. I said one scalper could buy 1000 units, plus you don't know how many units are still being sat on by one scalper let alone 1000
 
I didn't say 1000 scalpers. I said one scalper could buy 1000 units, plus you don't know how many units are still being sat on by one scalper let alone 1000
I understood you, but please let me ask you something: Why are you making such a fuzz about it? You have no idea how many units are sitting unused with people who just wanted to flip them. And the imaginary number you have thrown at us is so small that it doesn't even make a difference.

I don't mind your point, but I would like to see some real data that proves it before I buy into it.
 
Is there a way to automatically or manually pause and unpause Kstuff without using etaHEN?

In some games like TLOU II, when Kstuff is enabled, the game stutters and I experience noticeable frame drops. However, when I pause Kstuff, performance is good.

At the moment, I am using etaHEN only for this purpose, so I am looking for an alternative solution that would allow me to control Kstuff without relying on etaHEN...

There is a kstuff-toggle for that, but my recommendation is to try the combination of kstuff-lite + shadowmountplus becuse in this combination you don't need kstuff disable/enable option.

Weird. I have this combination, but I dont receive any notification that kstuff is on or off when I run my games. Do I need the notify.elf to this?

The world is full of such obvious things that no one by any chance will ever observe... that means you gotta pay attention to spot the obvious. The point I was making, which you clearly missed, has nothing to do with the numbers, and everything to do with the perception of the profit margins. Example: If walmart buys a million copies of a book, the writer has a best seller, but walmart only sold two copies. Does that make it a best seller because Walmart bought so many copies but didn't sell even a fraction of that amount? Or does it get mistaken for a best seller because they sold it to a corporation that couldn't sell more than 2 copies. This is how most mass produced crap creates a surplus of unwanted crap on the store shelves. Just because the people trying to profit buy it up, doesn't mean the targeted end user will. I'm pretty sure there are YouTube videos with plenty of comments from people pissed off at how the last two generations of playstation have had nothing new and its all repackaged ps3 games. Hey they're you go. The automobile industry is the perfect example, look at how Japan has so a lot full of units that were sold to the dealers but couldn't be sold to the customer. All those Facebook market place sales don't count to the total, which makes the numbers irrelevant. The retailers are the ones causing the price gouging by buying up shit the public won't buy, the scalpers are using that to their advantage by buying up all the stuff the public will buy.

Dude, you're so delusional. Okay, you basically say the last PlayStation generations have been crap. Up until this point I even agree. I don't get why people cherish the PS4. It was mid at best. Yet what you fail to see is that people are indeed buying that crap. Some even spent more than MSRP. You cannot argue against that with imaginary examples that you cannot even prove are applicable. Some people are either especially stupid or both wealthy and easy to please. Deal with it. Your posts read as if you really cannot believe this is how things work. As if you cannot take it as fact that shit is being bought despite being shit.

You call me delusional and you're the one confusing people like me who would pay for an overpriced machine I could modify with the people who submit to the products as services insanity. I traded my 97 all manual Saturn sl1 for a ps3 on 3.50 firmware, but only after the manual steering broke. I would have never bought one from walmart. None of the examples I gave were imaginary. In fact you type in ps5 on Facebook marketplace and see all the people getting rid of their unmodified ps5 because they don't play it much. I never said there weren't people buying stupid shit, what I said was, and this is the most important part that proves you are the one who is delusional, I said there weren't enough idiots buying the shit to give it the hype the advertisements gave it and how is that fake hype that makes some idiots buy up lots of them thinking they mark them up a hundred fold for lots of other idiots. You need to learn how to stop assuming what people are saying based on your own ignorance of the facts. The fact is that "retail" is what causes price gouging when people think it's the industry standard to over charge for that crap. Why here's an example of that, Kroger. Buy 3 get 3 free, but one is so over priced your buying 3 for each one so you pay for 9 and only get 6. My main point was, just because the retailers and the scalpers are buying up so much hyped stuff does not mean they will resell all those units. That means those projected sales Sony is showing is what the retailers and the scalpers bought from them not what was sold to John q public. Jesus fucking christ you just don't compute how economics works. Game stop is reselling wiiu units they couldn't sell before

Can we at least use paragraphs...damn.
I did. That's one big paragraph, notice how the focus never changes? This is your free writing lesson for the day, the next one will cost you... short paragraphs are for weak minds and that minimum word count was to weed them out.
 
I don't know what is going but as an "Unofficial Game Tester/Reviewer" I'm just here for:

how-to-get-free-stuff.jpg.webp
 
Does anyone know if theres a list of games that are compatible with internal ? My USB m.2 is full, my internal drive is empty, and I want to get more games lol

Isn't kstuff needed to start the games and then you pause as soon as the game starts, That's what the auto kstuff toggle does in etaHEN.

Yeah no you're all over the place, bitching about live service and selling your broken manual, to people being so stupid compared to you, hype being over hyped but also economics so smart. We call that a wall of text, don't be so pedantic.

This is GBATemp, not the "I'm smarter and pwnd a rando um akshooly" subreddit. You're like that one mob with the bullshit aggro range, just chill...damn. Don't off-topic this shit...again. In fact there's even places on here where you can have those convos, but it's not the ps5 main sticky thread. Last word andy over here, jeez. I'll allow it, you're welcome to the last, then stop.

Is this still the PS5 exploit guide thread? Because lately it reads more like a personal manifesto thread. Lots of unrelated economics, ideology, and ‘look how clever I am’ commentary. Interesting? Maybe. Relevant? Not really.

When a thread turns into someone’s soapbox, it makes it harder for people who are actually trying to follow the topic. If those debates are that important, spin them off into their own thread and see how many people actually care. Just don’t hijack the main PS5 topic to push your own self-important agenda.

Yes it is. I was just discussing how it is the exploitability of the ps5 that keeps it alive. Some people Just make their own brainless assumptions about facts being just somebody else's opinion.

I mean, yeah. I have mine in the closet in the box right now as there's really nothing groundbreaking yet. Waiting for the scene to get a little more steady. I more use the Switch 2 and MiSTer FPGA anyways, so I can wait.
