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.

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)

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.

  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.

I think it's time to dust off the 11.60 console and unpatch it.... At least most of the newer releases should work out of the box with no need for backport files....

Will need to create a new user id on it though and activate it in offline mode as it has my PSN id on it... Of course as Gezine said, never use Y2JB with an official PSN user account....
This is an interesting information, care to elaborate on the reason? I guess this is ban related right?

NexusFramework​

A cross-generation remote management framework for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 systems.

✨ Overview​

NexusFramework is designed to provide a unified and extensible interface for interacting with PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 systems.



🚀 Getting Started​

Before using the framework, the payload must be injected into the target system.

🎮 PlayStation 4​

  • Use the latest GoldHEN (v2.4b18.8) with ELF support to inject the payload
  • Alternatively, use John Törnblom’s elfldr
    • ⚠️ May be unstable on older firmware (≤ 9.00)

🎮 PlayStation 5​

  • Send the payload via an elfldr socket, or
  • Use etaHEN’s built-in payload loader (Toolbox)
Link: https://github.com/ItsJokerZz/NexusFramework/releases
 
The release for crimson desert on that special Website is/reads different from usual releases.
It says works on fw 12 - 4, but it has no seperated download for the backport as usual, like recently resident evil 9.
So is the backport integrated already?
Could someone already test this on a 4.03 ps5?

Yes, the bp is integrated already. Tested on 5.x, threw it on an external and it loaded right up.
 
Personally I'm pretty confident for most fws up to 13.xx, the momentum is insane rn and we already know it's possible according to Gezine. It may take a while but I'm sure our g.o.a.t.s will open all the fws wide open. Patience is a virtue.

Some not-so-great news for users above 12.00 from Dr.Yenyen:



Also, for people waiting on yarpe implementation (like myself), it looks like we will be waiting for quite some time before getting anything (if ever):



https://github.com/Helloyunho/yarpe/issues/16#issuecomment-4420635353

These are the same people that said the SWRR exploits were the only way in. Never believe a dev when they say something can’t be done. It can, just takes time. You got people releasing stuff when it’s not even finished just to appease these impatient people. No one wants to wait until it’s fully done and then lose their five minutes of internet fame and risk someone else beating them to the punch. Sad really that this is the state of affairs in the scene these days.

No one wants to wait until it’s fully done and then lose their five minutes of internet fame and risk someone else beating them to the punch. Sad really that this is the state of affairs in the scene these days.
Yeah, I think you are quite right, I should have added a disclaimer to my post. The scene is moving extremely fast right now so bad news can turn into great news in a matter of hours.

Everything good is worth waiting for. And there’s a lot of work effort that goes into this. Yes, there are egos like certain people that shall remain nameless. But there are others that do the work and not expect anything. Sad part is that all the impatient people (etaWEN) chase these devs out. Add to that like you said with the scene moving extremely fast. It’s a recipe for people putting out things when they’re not even done yet just to get them out so they’ll have their five minutes of fame..It’s not worth it. I would much rather wait on something more stable than use something that could potentially fuck up my console.
 
This is an interesting information, care to elaborate on the reason? I guess this is ban related right?
Not necessarily a ban but the potential for your PSN id to be known to be used to jb a console is pretty high IMHO. Why can i say that with 100% confidence? Coz the console phones home on a plethora of addresses. Having said that, i foolishly used my id in the past without reading Gezine's small print.... So far touch wood to no ill effect. Will doing a jb ban your console? Dunno? Modded openly shows his id and he's still going. Having said that, do consoles get banned? Absolutely? What causes them? Who knows. Is it worth the risk? No way!
 
MacroScam aka MicroSoft had reason with box label for the game The Outer Worlds 2. 'Additional download required to play'. From 80 MB on disc to, around 85GB full game compressed.

Unfortunately no BackPork was required just to over fill this with the proper 'pigs theme' properly for the MascroScam gaming division.

Ironic mode off.

Can't argue there... you all know what happened to my 9.02 using earthonion's tool to activate the usb copy function etc... console literally went bottoms up and i was forced to upgrade to 9.20 as i couldn't get the console out of safe mode and only the last option was available...! Too much stuff is released quickly which in hindsight should need more robust testing... but hey these are consoles and UAT is well done at the countless users expense... As they say buyer be ware..

Onto other news... Someone explain what BrutalSam is showing us here.. Is he also working on a webkit together with that other dev Nathan Fargo?

was your account already activated before having that problem?

Yes, i beleive it was as it was my PSN id at the time with the correct hex codes and i checked in offact. The only thing not working was the usb copy (not that i really needed it). I had long chats with Mr Onion about this and he could not figure it out.... Anyway so far so good on 9.20... but still very annoyed i was forced to upgrade...

Daily lurker here :ph34r:

I've jailbroken my Phat 6.02 a long time ago (when we were still using LUA games and Master's backups). And after confirming it worked, I've... well... put it back in the cupboard (waiting for some more progress while lying to myself about reducing my backlog).

With all the recent developments (and especially with Linux on the horizon for 6.02), I've decided to take the Phat buddy out and bring it up to speed. The problem is: I'm not sure how.

I read this space regularly, and watch every MW video, but when it comes to "updating" the jailbreak methods and tools, I'm not sure how to proceed. I'm kinda scared I'll mess something up without the "luxury" to follow a recent guide from scratch. And there are so many options out there now...

I'd greatly appreciate your suggestions in methods and tools for someone with a Phat 6.02 already jailbroken (via Lua and Master's backups), and interested in game backups, emulators, cheats, (future) trophies, etc :)
 
is the lua loader stuff just in testing at the mo and not public?
like the whole entrypoint stuff people are talking about for a 2 hour p2jb, saw its unstable on higher FW or something but it cant still be used to unpatch the bd on 12.00 or below, but it crashes out if You try to close the game i think


seeing it going off and seeing posts about it around but I can't seem to be able to find a restore file anywhere and just wondering if its because its currently in testing and not yet public or if maybe I am just looking in the wrong places cause y'know im a noob and all, wanna get my blu ray unpatched aha

Firstly leave the console as is at 6.02. Do not under any circumstances upgrade the firmware... The lua games method tbh works very well.... but for convenience you can use the Y2JB method. If you don't mind losing all your data you can restore Gezine's backup for y2jb and effectively it will install the jb for you. Of course you lose everything. You then need to use itsPLK autoloader.... and voila..

Somebody on here will give you some better instructions than i hve given... But yes, look at MW's videos.. there is a ton of information on his channel....

Thanks!
I'm ok with losing everything, as I really have nothing (sounds like a Grunge lyric...).

So I can follow the guide for y2jb and use Gezine's backup to "create my base"? And then add tools on top (K-stuff etc) as I see fit?

And no worries: Sony will have to pry my beloved 6.02 from my cold, Dual-Sensed fingers...
(my PS4 is still on 5.05 :wub:)
