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.

    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.

    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.

Yeah so to add a bit more info:

  • This version - also v2 and v2.1 cuts the time in half. So roughly from 2 Hours to ~50 minutes.
  • The 2.2 version adds stability meaning this can lead to a higher succes rate.

Should be a one time license check.
I bought digital SWRR on my 12.70 system. Just booted up my offline PS5 Pro and checked. App + license is still active.
You can also check:

Asuming you are on FW 12.00 or below so range 10.01 - 12.00?

11.60, can upgrade if recommended, but the idea is stay in lowest possible as i read
Just stay on 11.60. It's fine. No need to go to 12.00.
You can use this autoloader for now: https://github.com/owendswang/BD-UN-JB-Poops-Autoloader/releases/tag/v2.2

If you have a BR burner and RW discs you can also rewrite and switch to another autoloader that will suit your needs better. In the upcoming days more autoloaders will be updated. It's just a matter of taste and preferences.

I use https://github.com/itsPLK/ps5-bdjb-autoloader/releases

Works like a charm on my 10.40, 11.40 and 12.00 systems

The advantage (imo) is that it autoloads payload manager, so you can customize it from payloadmanager afterwards.

going to read some more info about what more i have to install in order to explore all functions and using my backups :)
 

ps5-backup-helper​

Single-shot PS5 ELF that snapshots and restores files under /system_data/priv/mms/ (and any other path you point it at). Designed as a drop-in helper for jailbroken PS5 web/payload UIs that need a safe way to make/revert app.db / registry / config.dat backups without wedging their own process.

Validated end-to-end on FW 4.03 (devkit) and FW 12.00 (retail). Full dump → restore → delete round-trips on both; helper completes in ~2 s for dump, restore reports restored:6 and live mms file mtimes update correctly.

ps5-backup-helper v1.0.0


First release. Drop-in PS5 ELF for /system_data/priv/mms/ snapshot + restore. See README for design + integration. Built against ps5-payload-sdk v0.39.

Validated on FW 4.03 (devkit) and FW 12.00.

Put your game backup folder or file in a folder structure 2 deep.
EG: USB_Root/Backup/Games/Your_Backup_file
Shadowmount then won't see the file and you can use PS5 explorer to copy it where you want.
If having problems with stuck icons a safemode rebuild database will take care of that.
Thanks for the tip.

Is using PS5 explorer (you mean this one, right? : https://pkg-zone.com/details/LAPY20011) to transfer files faster than FTP? I read somewhere that the transfers speed are restricted by the console anyway so you can’t get past 10 MB/s.

Also, maybe I’m a dumbass (am I? Please tell me I’m not) but how I am supposed to remove a game backup icon that was mounted by ShadowMountPlus from the console home screen? Are we supposed to just pile game shortcuts forever even when we don’t have them installed anymore?

Deleting the game from the system storage settings just blank the app icon and cover image but doesn’t actually remove the shortcut.

The only way I managed to fix this issue was to restore a system backup I made previously which I obviously won’t be doing every damn time I want to get rid of a game.

And I’m a bit concerned about doing a safe mode database rebuild on a jailbroken system, is that even recommended?
 
Guys there's a new release with a backup that includes the newest release of p2jb

https://github.com/owendswang/Y2JB-P2JB-bdj_unpatch/releases/tag/v1.1

I'm trying it now on 10.60
I can confirm it worked for 10.60 woho. Now I need to know what I need in order to play my backups haha. How can I fix shadowmountplus?

Didn't a database rebuild work as was advised? System backup restore is not needed then.

And no, you don't need to do this every time. I haven always been able to just delete the game icon via the options button on the controller so I assume what you experience is an exception.
 
I've noticed some erm how can i put it... some stellar releases in the past day or two... I wasn't aware the Ps5 has so many erm quality titles :D

The PRO is seriously lacking titles which can take full advantage of it's capabilities... It's like driving an M car or AMG and giving it a stage 2 map with all the physical upgrades and then putting in sub standard fuel and driving it like a grandad!

I will be honest, I didn’t try the database rebuild because I was too afraid to mess someting up considering the console is jailbroken.

Also, something might have gone wrong on my side but that could also be the case because I removed the game from the system storage settings instead of just removing it from the home screen, I will try that next time.

Thanks a lot for the tips, I’m pretty new to this so trial and error I guess. :)
 
In p2jb, does increasing the number of threads reduce the wait time?

I doubled the number of threads in the attached file if you want to try it out. The original is from the repo of the japanese games.

Im successfully jailbroken on 10.60 and ive send kstuff lite payload with netcat. I dont understand how I can get shadowmount plus as I dont find any elf file to send it. Also how can I FTP my backups to PS5? Much appreciated if theres any tutorial

I have the youtube app opend and trying to ftp with filezilla but it doesnt seem to establish connection im probably doing something wrong :)
 
Anyone on 7.61 had trouble with crimson booting with backport files, done everything as per usual and installed the included PKG file, but when booting it shows the splashscreen and screen goes black and console turns off. I'm using viktorious 1.24 disc, was thinking of updating but not sure if y2jb will remain after firmware update. Choices, choices.

maybe the backport is not working well on 7.61...

Hey, I'm currently on firmware 10.01 using the Y2JB Autoloader (itsPLK). Is it possible yet to safely update to a higher firmware version like 12+? Also, is there any tutorial available that would make this easier for me, starting from updating the console to version 12 all the way to installing a jailbreak that runs similarly to the itsPLK autoloader?
