SpecterDev, the one known for creating and releasing a functional implementation of Qwertyoruiop’s 4.55 Kernel Exploit for the PS4, has now taken to twitter to tease a "full stack release" for PS4 firmware 5.05 within the next few weeks. He states that tools for homebrew development are incoming, with other miscellaneous tools arriving somewhere down the line. When asked, he goes on to confirm that yes, this will indeed include a brand new kernel exploit for firmware 5.05. Most importantly, though, he advises all users who are interested in homebrew who have a PS4 on or below firmware version 5.05 to NOT UPDATE.

Don’t update your <= 5.05 consoles if you care about homebrew. Hope to see cool stuff soon

Well, looks like 5.53 has a Kernel Exploit now according to Mathieulh.

 

[chirogan]

WELL Xone is the last survivor, how long will M$ hold his console from stingy pirates' merciless invasion?

All that bug bounty program has paid off.

 

[IzeC0ld]

A reasin to get a ps4!

Which won't greet released until 6.50 arrives or so, making it really outdated as usual.

I am on 5.05, very excited for this because I haven't touched my PS4 for a while.

 

[osaka35]

I'm on 5.05 pretty sure, so i'm glad I've disconnected from the internet a while back.

 

[The3rdknuckles]

Isn't there a webkit exploit on 5.50?

Yes there is, but you can’t do anything with it.

So are we getting relatively close to being able to play PS4 ISO's? Thinking about buying a PS4 relatively soon, particularly with the Spyro remastered series due soon.

Don’t worry there’s a kernel exploit for 5.53

 

[samcambolt270]

there is? when was this announced and how did i miss it? or is it that one I'v heard where he's holding onto it until it's patched...

Yeah it’s the one that’s being held onto

 

[samcambolt270]

Yeah it’s the one that’s being held onto

[hiroakihsu]

Here's hoping Detroit: Become Human doesn't require >5.05 (even though I highly doubt it) when it comes out so I don't have to update my PS4...

 

[tunip3]

As long as they don't release anything worth pirating.

There's only one game that I could see fitting here... and funnily this one in particular is about piracy. PLEASE for the joke of it let it be the first one to ever be pirated in case people get that far on the Xbone.

Sea of theives I'm guessing

Their is no bug bounty lol if you want to get paid you have to track down and pressure an internal Dev team that focuses on Xbox one sec

 

[The3rdknuckles]

I’m kind of sad to say I’m putting my PS4 to sleep for a while.

Well, on 4.55 and below you can already install fpkgs, and I imagine it wouldn't take long to get HEN working once another kexploit is publicly released. That's how it was with 4.55.

 

[FischerFuat]

Awesome ^^

 

[viertel97]

A little longer than I expected, but I'm now glad I bought a brand new ps4 pro for less than RRP even though it came with 4.73.

Where did you buy this Console? Do you have a link?

Where did you buy this Console? Do you have a link?

I got it online, but the site no longer has it in stock. I just used google shopping to find the cheapest bundle. It was the kind of web site that seemed a bit dodgy, but the console seems fine.

It was around the time of the 4.55 exploit release, most places had gone out of stock of ps4 pro at xmas. So it was either xmas returns or bankrupt stock or something.
