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.

Alternative DNS IP:
DNS 1: 172.245.146.114
(Leave DNS 2 blank)

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)

Select Your Jailbreak:

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:
    coming soon

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

  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.

Not that I know of because it's closed source. The only option is to adjust the PS5 date.

Just do what I did. Get yourself a 22TB HDD and install and delete when you want to add and remove games. WinRAR does wonders for compression and you can always convert them into FFPKG or exFAT later on when you need them.

I did not pay that much for a single 8TB M2. 8TB was around 950/960 euro's. I got 5% discount when buying 2 of more, so I did.

What method do you guys prefer to keep PS5 games in Folder or FFPKG or is it a game by game basis? Folders take a long time to copy. Just getting mine setup with 10.01 using MW backup file. Thinking about using ShadowmountPlus and Kstuff Lite instead of ETAhen. Waiting for SSD to come yet. Got PS4 games working in internal.

Yes that's correct. I think 3 weeks before the increases came. Just like my 2nd PS5 Pro. But these prices you are showing in the picture are just crazy. Would not buy it for that price.

The Samsung 9100 Pro, with heatsink 8TB is around € 1.150 - 1.500. The red arrow indicates when I bought them.

in most games, i prefer exfat: one single file, fast to transfer, same size as dump folder. but it has slower read speed.

if read speed is important, i go with ffpkg: one single file, fast to transfer, good read speed. but it's aproximately 10% bigger than its dump folder counterpart.

if read speed is important and the game is too big (for me, > 150GB), i go with dump folder. good read speed, smallest size by now, but it takes longer to transfer.

---------------------------------------------------
EDIT

and I don't load etaHEN daily. i'm on 9.60 and my autoload.txt has

shadowmount plus
drakmor's ftpsrv
chukei dns
kstuff lite 1.1-dr

when needed, I stick a usb drive on boot and load etahen

I must be the only person on the planet whose not even tried either an exfat or ffpkg image yet... I just use the normal dump folder... Perhaps i need to rethink my strategy!

I didn't use it either, until my 4tb nvme started to freeze and disconnect when it reached around 3tb of used space.

the reason: too many - millions - small files to manage. one single game can contain 100,000 files or more.

after i converted them to exfat or ffpkg, problems gone.

is dump2ufs https://github.com/jdros15/dump2ufs-gui/releases/tag/1.4.0 the best way to create a exfat version?
and is https://github.com/Sploo-Scripts/TheWiz-PS5-Easy-FFpkg-Maker the best way to create a ffpkg?
or is there better methods havent converted anything yet.

i never used dump2usf gui, i started converting them before it existed, i think. so i use osfmount and the script given on drakmor's shadowmount plus github page. i type one single command line and it's done.

i used ufs2tool and the wiz ps5 easy ffpkg maker. both work. i don't know which one is the best. it's a matter of personal preference, i guess.

Just had a look at Yotei on my SSD and it says the following... So the dump is actually taking up 28gb more than the actual dump size so 178gb? If converted to exfat i assume the size on disk would be closer to 150gb?

Yes as the only exFAT or FFPKG that failed so far for me was Yotei.

I use exFAT for my external, FFPKG for my internal in the data/homebrew folder. I keep them in game folders on my 22TB HDD where I keep them RAR’ed in 10GB parts set to “Best” compression. Only make the images when I’m ready to use them. Saves me a lot of space to store them which to me is the point. And before anyone asks, no, I don’t have 22TB of games (20TB after formatting). I also use the drive for PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, PSP, and PS Vita.
 
Wow, too much to follow in the scene :wacko:, thinking in updating my PS5 next month just to get the enhanced version of my PS4 games…. What do you guys on 11.40 plan to do?

for those about 8TB SSD. Data gets degraded with the time on storage, 1 or 2 years depending on the kind of chips.

That’s why I try to use “proven” methods of storage as usually the first batches before they optimize the manufacturing has their own issues.

tl:dr it’s just a bunch of spoiled brats on both sides with major drama when the truth is that devs are replaceable and the leeches that suck up to them will latch on to the next dev that comes along as they always do.

Not worth paying attention to or giving attention to but yet somehow people still report on it.

Maybe you are! Even I made an effort to update my CFW setup. :D Not much time to play around it nowadays as I'm playing Astro Bot on it and waiting for my first PS Vita to arrive.
