ok so after y2jb ends, i send shadowmount.elf and should be ok?

but how i transfer files now to internal storage?

I use PS5upload https://github.com/phantomptr/ps5upload

Its an exe file you download to your PC (you need to have an established internet connection dont forget to use dns 127.0.0.2) and then follow the instructions to connect to your PS5 (192.x.x.x) your IP adress to PS5 and port 9021. After that you need to inject kstuff payload and shadowmount payload if you dont have it already. And then upload to your internal storage with above mentioned PS5upload

Be careful it doesn't work with kstuff 1.1-dr

I wasn’t aware of that specific release, are you talking about this? : https://github.com/drakmor/kstuff-lite/releases/tag/1.1-dr

If so, why not use the latest stable release (currently 1.05) from EchoStrech instead? The drakmor’s fork seems to be more than a month old at this point.

Hi, anyone with experience using backports on 3.x UMTX can provide some support? First time trying backports and I can't make it work, I could only find tutorials for y2jb so >4.0 online so helpfully I am just missing some silly step that you would easily point out..

I downloaded the game + backport 2.x
I replaced files from the backport folder on game folder and and does not work so I tried mounting my own backports for version 3 in backpork kitchen but does not work either...

I am running bestpig from umtx and then trying to boot the game via itemzflow
Fine to ping via private, I am looking forward to finally use the PS5 this summer

BTW, thanks a lot to everyone supporting this thread!

Did someone mention whiskey and Guiness?

Drinks aside, as there are so many BD-JB unpatch and also BD-JB iso's, which partucular one do people recommend now? the scene is moving way to fast to keep up with... it's like snooze and you lose

Think it's about time i spun up the 11.60 and give it a whirl.... BTW, has anyone played Forza on the internal storage.. Just contemplating that one as i wanna hook it up to my Fanatec SIM rig....

There are some many autoloaders but also developments. Everyime I post something and blink twice another improvement has been made.

That's what I mentioned like 30 posts earlier. Wait 2/3 weeks and check again. For example: the first week of june (june 7th).
Things should be more stable by then.

I'm on 10.01. The time I will even go higher would be around october/november. So this is how long I would generally wait. For now i'm staying as is.

Indeed . But I did run some more tests on a 5.10 et 7.61 with kstuff 1.1-rd and kstuff 1.05 in both case and on those 2 consoles "failed to load kstuff" Didn't try on the pro yet .

So, then it should read the elf on my USB SSD stick like on my 11.60? Sorry for the questions, but want to make sure I'm doing this right.

Okay…..so…..finally did it on my 12.40 Pro with paired disc drive using P2JB on my digital copy of SWRR….

Bear with me here….as I go through some observations….

Firstly, it took me about 1:50-1:52 to have a successful exploit. Luckily for me, it was first time. Payload manager didn't work for me, but sending the individual elfs did. Sent over in order: FTPSrv, ShadowMountPlus, kstuff lite. All newest versions. Also put the 19.57 version of PHU Tools for trophies but mine came up as "unsupported firmware".

Next, for my first game, I decided to go with one I couldn't play on my 11.60 unit: New Super Lucky's Tale which requires 12.xx. As you can see here, it was successful. But no trophies. View attachment 574612

With that out of the way, I wanted to run some tests. Since in preparation for pulling this unit offline in January, I downloaded some games I didn't see dumps for or that I knew had APR so I could play something on here while waiting for a hack, my first test was to see if they worked in jailbreak mode. Since I had the actual licenses on here and they were the non-timed versions, this would be a perfect first test.

First, I did Rise of Ronin, worked fine, though weirdly, I got a kstuff pause message after a bit like I would if I was running a dump.

Then, one of the biggies, Spider-Man 2. Was able to start a new game + and play up until Sandman kicked my ass.....needless to say, this too was functional though weirdly, I never got a kstuff message that I remembered.

Finally for now, I also wanted to make sure my disc player was still intact and could watch movies since the plan is to leave this on rest mode, especially since I have the DNS set to 127.0.0.1. I didn't run the unpatch as I figure what was the point until there's a disc that can do the BDJB on 12.40 and higher. So I left it alone. Wanted to try a disc that I knew worked and I watched all the way through as when you have 600 something movies, you quickly get overwhelmed and there's movies I purchased over six years that I haven't gotten to yet. It also had to be something currently easily replaceable as I didn't want to use a movie that was OOP (out of print).

I chose Network and as you can see, it works perfectly fine! Movie is playing correctly, no skips or anything.

Here's a picture with the 4K disc inside the machine so you see I'm not bullshitting.

Truly final test for now will be tomorrow as I plan on putting this in rest mode until tomorrow and try all this again to make sure it's still working and the payloads are still there.

Wanted to write this whole thing up for newer users or ones that maybe aren't so confident in doing this.

Planning on keeping my Slim with UNBD patched disc drive on 11.60 as is for now. If this works out, I'll probably offer that unit to someone here who doesn't have such a unit for retail price ($649.99 plus shipping). So rather that scour eBay for a unit that is priced too damn high, you'll know it's actually modded and unpatched already.

If you’re on Windows, it’s probably worth backing up your disc drive pairing info. Run this command, save the terminal output to a text file, and also keep the ddd_dump_nonce.bin and ddd_dump_cert.bin files created in the PS5’s /data folder:

socat.exe -t 99999999 - TCP:<your PS5's IP>:9021 < ddd_pair_dump_verbose.elf

Yeah I have the same - it's a folder and I uploaded it with ps5 uploaded to the internal homebrew storage. Shadowmount and kstuff lite already installed. I tried to start it several time and I got the error can't start the game or app. I went into my library in ps5 upload and gave it permission (and also register drm) etc as I read on reddit someone did it and it worked for them. After that the system crashed

KStuff 1.04 by Echostretch caused this for me. Try using drakmor's 1.1 instead.

You have any link?

I have ADHD so I have to repeat this loudly every few times a day before I try something new or I get the urge to update:

Up to 10.01 is bdjb free!
Up to 12.00 bdjb is the key!
Up to 12.40 is oh fuck me!

There is a lack of standardization with so many forms and versions of the same type of hacks going around. Hell I don't even believe the number versions even matter any more. I'm looking at the members I look up to as the pros being lost. Maybe if everyone agree to work and test from the same source then can compare the results....
