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.

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.

Its because you are limited to P2JB on firmware higher than 12.01. Average time for jailbreaking is like 45-50 minutes each time you want to jailbreak the system.

Ah, okay, I see. I'll still try this jailbreak from 12.40. Apparently, you can leave the console in rest mode to avoid going through the 50-minute process again 🤔

ps5debug-NG v1.3.0​


v1.2.x was about getting FW 8.x-13.x working. v1.3.0 is the big feature release: dramatically faster memory scanning (Turbo Scan), new register access (FS/GS base + full AVX/YMM), faster bulk writes, and reliability fixes. Hardware-verified; firmware-agnostic by design.

🚀 Turbo Scan - much faster memory scanning​

  • A new server-side scan engine with an AVX2 SIMD comparator and a low-overhead aliasing read path that pulls target memory far faster than the classic per-region path.
  • Multi-threaded across memory regions.
  • Big gains where it matters most - value-tracking rescans (find a value, then narrow down) are several times faster, because reading memory was the real bottleneck.
  • Unknown-initial-value snapshot scans - search for a value you can't type yet, then filter by increased / decreased / changed.
  • Region classify query so clients can skip slow / uncached memory regions instead of crawling them.
  • Fully additive and opt-in - every existing scan command is unchanged, so older clients keep working exactly as before.

🧬 New register access - FS/GS base + AVX/YMM​

  • FS/GS segment base read/write - the 64-bit TLS / per-thread base pointers that x86-64 actually uses for thread-local storage. The classic register read only carried the 16-bit segment selectors; the bases (where TLS actually points) are now readable and writable.
  • Full AVX/YMM floating-point registers - reading/writing FP registers now covers the complete 832-byte FPU/AVX state, so the upper halves of YMM0-15 are finally populated and writable. Previously only the 512-byte legacy XMM area came back.
  • These are new server-side capabilities - client UIs can surface them.

✍️ Faster bulk memory writes​

  • A bulk-write command applies many writes in a single request - far less round-trip overhead when applying large cheat tables or patch sets.

🛠️ Reliability fixes​

  • Fixed a crash when allocating memory under concurrent use. Memory allocation is now served from a server-side per-process arena (one hijacking mmap per segment, then zero-hijack sub-allocation), removing a race that could take down the game / console.
  • Hardened raw syscalls - routed bare syscall sites through a typed wrapper so 32-bit argument values can no longer arrive with garbage upper bits, the cause of rare, hard-to-reproduce failures.

📖 Documentation​

  • PROTOCOL.md brought fully in line with the sources - every command (including the new Turbo Scan family, bulk write, FS/GS base, and the YMM behaviour), every packet struct, status code, and the complete opcode table.
  • README register-capability and command-coverage sections updated.

⚠️ Known caveats​

  • Client UI for FS/GS base and YMM depends on each client; this release adds the server-side support they build on.

ps5debug-NG v1.3.0​


v1.2.x was about getting FW 8.x-13.x working. v1.3.0 is the big feature release: dramatically faster memory scanning (Turbo Scan), new register access (FS/GS base + full AVX/YMM), faster bulk writes, and reliability fixes. Hardware-verified; firmware-agnostic by design.

🚀 Turbo Scan - much faster memory scanning​

  • A new server-side scan engine with an AVX2 SIMD comparator and a low-overhead aliasing read path that pulls target memory far faster than the classic per-region path.
  • Multi-threaded across memory regions.
  • Big gains where it matters most - value-tracking rescans (find a value, then narrow down) are several times faster, because reading memory was the real bottleneck.
  • Unknown-initial-value snapshot scans - search for a value you can't type yet, then filter by increased / decreased / changed.
  • Region classify query so clients can skip slow / uncached memory regions instead of crawling them.
  • Fully additive and opt-in - every existing scan command is unchanged, so older clients keep working exactly as before.

🧬 New register access - FS/GS base + AVX/YMM​

  • FS/GS segment base read/write - the 64-bit TLS / per-thread base pointers that x86-64 actually uses for thread-local storage. The classic register read only carried the 16-bit segment selectors; the bases (where TLS actually points) are now readable and writable.
  • Full AVX/YMM floating-point registers - reading/writing FP registers now covers the complete 832-byte FPU/AVX state, so the upper halves of YMM0-15 are finally populated and writable. Previously only the 512-byte legacy XMM area came back.
  • These are new server-side capabilities - client UIs can surface them.

✍️ Faster bulk memory writes​

  • A bulk-write command applies many writes in a single request - far less round-trip overhead when applying large cheat tables or patch sets.

Thanks for posting this - but damn, does this just remind me of how much I hate using Discord for this kind of stuff. It's such an unnecessary headache.

Also - so now what do we do with ShadowMountPlus and other payloads that do kstuff pausing? Should we configure all of those to just skip pausing for everything now?

I believe for ShadowMountPlus you must put this in the config.ini in the /data/shadowmount/config.ini file: kstuff_game_auto_toggle=0

Edit: Using that setting works fine in Shadowmountplus with the new Kstuff

@cherryduck Hey, just a quick update.... I've done quite a few now since my last post, both folder types and exfat to ffpfsc, all have went perfectly with no issues whatsoever.

I've also had multiple instances of the tool running at the same time without any issues... Thank you once again for sharing this!
p.s. Any plans to add batch conversion?

I've got family over for the weekend so I can't take a look straight away and I will probably forget. Can you raise an issue on the GitHub repo for the feature request and I'll take a look when I'm free!

what's the purpose of that debug tool? Is it something a normal casual gamer needs? Am i missing out on something? F.O.M.O. ??

You can use this with Multitrainer or DXWatch to load additional cheats. I used the other original version by CTN on 10.01 with original discs to load cheats this way.

Because it's still beta beta. These releases are mostly for testing purposes and to validate / check with developers if there are issues.
