Hello everyone.

Is there any definitive answer on how to safely create a new account after restoring a Y2JB backup or how to reorder user accounts when logging in? The user selection always defaults to User1, which is annoying.

Is it safe to delete User1 after creating a new account and fake activating it?
Is it fine to use the same, offact + np-fake-signin activated new account for both daily usage and Y2JB or is it better to create another account and just offact without np-fake-signing it just for the Y2JB?

Best regards.

i think i made the same mistake lol but i ended up restoring the whole autoloader app.
so if lets say i want to downgrade or upgrade the Y2JB version without losing the autoload what do i have to change?

Revert is easy-peasy. Just put back your download0.dat backup and place the y2jb_update.zip the root of your USB. Run the Y2JB app and it will install the update from the USB. Then reboot and you are good to go.

If you don't have a backup.. Well you should have.. If you don't have access to FTP well you can use Netflix-N-Hack or use an Disc that loads elfldr-ps5.elf from there > inject a FTP payload.

the download0.dat and the y2jb_update according the version of the Y2JB that i want i guess...
if lets say i want to upgrade to the latest Y2JB 1.5 i guess i grab the y2jb_update from ps5-y2jb-autoloader v0.6.3?

i couldnt do a backup for some reason the backup was stuck but not a big deal i already restored it.
netflix hack i already had also but when i opened the netflix app didnt run the hack ( going straight to sign in). i read that ps5 has to be psn activated that i think it is but i dont know why it didnt work. i just installed also different youtube region just in case i do the same mistake again lol

which payload i need to sent? i quite new in jailbreak

Use the payload_sender.py from the Y2JB github, the instructions are on there under "Sending Payloads". You can use any FTP payload to let you access the ps5 and copy the correct files from the auto-Y2JB over. Or just send the etahen.bin or elfloader.bin payloads, which includes an ftp sever.

Either option will give you access to the ps5 folders again so you can go ahead and change out the download0.dat for the version from itsPLK. You can use an older version of that autoloader, then use the update method via USB which is way easier than replacing the file yourself. https://github.com/itsPLK/ps5-y2jb-autoloader

Just follow the steps I wrote. No need for repeat.
You can always upgrade or downgrade depending on the autoloader version you downloaded.

I think that's normal. You must have used the auto jailbreak before, which is a different file.

Just connect to that port from your pc with a payload sender and you should be able to start the jb that way, then replcae the files with the auto-y2jb from itsPLK.

What firmware are you on? I tried Saros on USB and internal m.2 and the sound was fine. I was using exfat format for the game, but I think it's probably firmware related due to the backpork files. I'm running 6.02 so was surprised it worked great given the reports.

11.60 transfered vía ftp running on self ps5 ssd, and is a folder with lot of files

Also some files werent transfered because format mode and had to change in filezilla to binary

I wonder if that might be causing the issue. I think 11.60 doesn't even need a backpork, but either way it should run better that it does on my lower fimware.

I transfered my game over from a usb drive. I used voidshell at the time, but ps5-xplorer works too, or I think the new elf-loader might have a file browser that can transfer. You could try that rather than ftp if you have a usb hdd big enough for the game.

The loose folder should technically work better too, formats like exfat and ffpkg can introduce issues or slower load times depending on the game. (eg. Crimson Desert does not like being packaged up, lags like crazy unless you use the loose folders)

i put my old y2jb_update.zip and old download0.dat in root of usb and run y2jb app, it still show remote js loader listening 5000.
Any idea?

the download0.dat file has to go under /user/download/PPSA0165* i think

In order to update the Y2JB, as far as I know, all you need to do is update the download0.dat file in the user/download/PPSA01650 folder. Do not update using download0.dat from Gezine but from itsPLK i.e. don't use this one from here (you'll get the version which waits for you to send the payload over the Internet) but instead use one from here, whichever is the latest one (currently it's v1.4 from v0.6 release). itsPLK modified Gezine's download0.dat so that it looks for a file on your USB, HDD or YouTube app's folder instead of waiting for on to be received over the Internet.

This is how I did it.

USB setup:
Format the USB drive as exFAT and copy the following files to it:

latest PS5 Xplorer from here. Skip if you already have it the latest version on your console. You'll need it in order to update download0.dat file and copy the new ps5_autoloader files.
latest download0.dat from here i.e. this one. Currently, it's v1.4, there's no v1.5 from itsPLK as far as I know.
latest y2jb_update.zip from here.
your ps5_autoloader folder to the root of the USB folder so that you can copy it later to the internal HDD when the time is right. Make adjustments if necessary. I'm personally using only latest etaHEN and ShadowMountPlus (which includes BackPork as well). My autoload.txt looks like this:
Code:
```
shadowmountplus.elf
!1000
etaHEN-2.5B.bin
```
!1000 = Wait 1000ms before launching the next payload. Loading a payload too soon sometimes lead to KP in my use cases so feel free to experiment, loading etaHEN the last resulted in less KPs for me at least.

Your USB setup should look like this now:

Code:

ps5_autoloader/autoload.txt
ps5_autoloader/etaHEN-2.5B.bin
ps5_autoloader/shadowmountplus.elf
y2jb_update.zip
download0.dat
PS5_LAPY20011_v1.05.pkg <- PS5 Xplorer

Now, do the following:

Turn on the console, do not insert the USB drive into it yet. Run the autoloader in order to jailbreak the console. If successful, plug in the USB drive (I used the front USB port on my launch PS5 model).
Update or install PS5 Xplorer if necessary and run it afterwards. Copy the download0.dat from /mnt/usb0 folder to the /user/download/PPSA01650 folder, overwriting the existing one. Your Y2JB is now up-to-date.
While you're still in PS5 Xplorer, go back to the /mnt/usb0 folder and copy the ps5_autoloader folder. Now go to the /data folder and remove the existing ps5_autoloader folder and paste the new one that you copied from the USB drive.
Return to home menu and reboot. Leave the USB drive plugged in.
Once you're back in home menu, run the autoloader again and the update and jailbreaking should begin. If everything went well, you should have a working and up-to-date Y2JB autoloader now. You should see on screen that you're on v0.6.3 of the autoloader and v1.4 of the Y2JB.

yeah this is what i was looking the latest download0 file from itsPLK. i just realized that they have only older versions.
the ps5_autoloader folder i m a bit confused. i used an automated backup at the first time so i guess i should have a ps5_autoloader folder already under data right? i think its loading from a different path if i m not mistaken.

If somebody update to the latest update and updated to Y2JB 1.5 and you get this screen. (Just a random screen - not mine)
Then it's time to load your KEX. You can send different .js files but most people now will load the p2jb.js file.

Put your old download0.dat in the folder: /user/download/PPSA01650
Put y2jb_update.zip from https://github.com/itsPLK/ps5-y2jb-autoloader/releases/tag/v0.5 or https://github.com/itsPLK/ps5-y2jb-autoloader/releases/tag/v0.6.3-e655073 in the root on the USB.
After that run the YouTube app and reboot.

I'd be curious if the ps5 version works, I'd assume it does, but obviously only for ps5.
Also, english lua game? They're evolving!!

Also it seems like a star wars situation, it's a limited run release so not sure if they'd be normal price anymore.

Put y2jb_update.zip from https://github.com/itsPLK/ps5-y2jb-autoloader/releases/tag/v0.5 or https://github.com/itsPLK/ps5-y2jb-autoloader/releases/tag/v0.6.3-e655073 in the root on the USB.

After that run the YouTube app and reboot.

Mine is showing this screen.

Does it mean the only thing i can do now is to run the p2jb.js file wait 50min?
(i hvnt run bdj unpatch before, and psn acc not activated)

Ater 50min, then what i should do?
