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 (KEX+HV+Linux: 7.61) (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)

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.

You posted few days ago that this
https://github.com/ufm42/kexp is new 13.42 exploit. You posted this in several discord servers and here and said someone smarter than you told you that this is new kernel exploit. I guess sonic told you this 🤣. Even me who just follow this scene knew that this has nothing to do with new kernel exploit. That is why I'm telling you that you vibe coders are nothing special.
I will praise real devs like idlesauce, sb, echostrech, ufm42, cow, earthonion, drakmor, gezine, flatz, thefl0w, cragson. They are grounded, they are not going to twitter and shout hey i got keys but i don't want to give you because of that and that. If vibe coding "dev" like sonic has the keys all of the devs i mentioned here have them also. And do you see me talking shit about them also? I'm against people who like to overhype something without proof. Every real dev are against vibe coders. I read r&d discord every day i see that.

I misread the github, and even said I did. What’s wrong with that? If you knew so much you could have corrected me, like bestpig did

We are all here to learn together and not everyone knows everything. I don’t understand why you’re on such a high horse. I guess admitting to making a mistake is a bad thing now too. Great logic.

—

Anyways, for anyone reading this. A big part that the “Dr” here keeps glossing over. Is these keys are Sony proprietary meaning if you share these or do anyting public with them. You will get arrested or sued(depending on country ofc) but for those that seem to have the keys right now

They reside in such countries.

Keys are illegal to share, and no opinion will change that.

Hi all, just need some advice. I currently own 2 phat PS5: one on firmware v12.00 and one on firmware v6.02 (I bought this one recently in a good deal - I was not even looking for another one but the opportunity showed up). The 6.02 became my preferred one after Linux became a thing. In terms of activating the jailbreak, both are quite fast anyways (Lapse and BD-jB). I noticed however that many game backups usually require 9.xx or even 12.xx firmware and my attempts to backport them to 6.02 using automated tools didn't work well.

I was thinking in keeping only the 6.02 (because of Linux) but wonder if this will limit the game backup availability long-term. Wondering if anyone sees value in keeping one of the other or maybe both? (one for Linux, or for gaming).

I appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Just update it, you will never use the Linux port.

Keep both, one for Linux, one for JB (wait upcoming 13.42 FW by Gezine...)

And you can always re-sell that 'Linux compatible' console for good price in future, that's for sure... :)

I don't think they will be as popular as CECHA01 PS3s. For the price markup on a low FW you can buy a used Ultra SFF Optiplex and slap in a low profile video card for a Linux machine that will out perform the PS5 and doesn't require hoops for half the price.

What low profile card would you recommend for that?

Dead ass I’ve not looked deep into pc stuff for a minute now, but was considering buying that ps5 GPU thing YouTubers have been posting and using with printed cases

Why do you think this is kernel exploit? I remember that this is made so devs can make jailbreak more modular. Just to offload some stuf from kernel exploit to this payload. Correct me if I'm wrong

I asked you here are you sure. And you said someone smarter told me so.

Digital Foundry and Reddit posit that the desktop equivalent is the 2070 Super or 3060 (Ray Tracing). So really you have a ton of options depending on how much you want to spend to exceed that. I see 4060 OC Low Profile going for about $300 on eBay which should exceed PS5 handily.

Anyways, for anyone reading this. A big part that the “Dr” here keeps glossing over. Is these keys are Sony proprietary meaning if you share these or do anyting public with them. You will get arrested or sued(depending on country ofc) but for those that seem to have the keys right now

They reside in such countries.

Keys are illegal to share, and no opinion will change that. :)

I'm amazed anybody here doesn't know this by now. I don't know why anyone would argue against this, it should be obvious.
One of the main reasons the Nintendo Switch cfw Atmosphere was perfectly fine all throughout it lifetime, was because it didn't have the keys that allowed for legit games to be installed on the system, and it never did.

This is also why Gary Bowser got himself fucked over, because his SX OS was a paid hardware/software that had keys and was allowing piracy from it's inception.

None of these ps5 devs want to be Sony's Bowser, even if they don't sell hardware mods, software can still get them in deep shit if they use stolen code from Sony in their homebrew, aka the "keys".

Now, if you could somehow dump the keys from your own console to use with homebrew...that's a different story, again, much like the Switch.

If anyone doesn't know about that, hop over to the Switch forum here and have a read through some stuff. It'll help us avoid having another big argument over this shit again here.
Also does anyone know what the closest spec a ps5 regular is to a pc? I heard the steam machine might be similar or even slightly worse in spec.

I'm wondering if pc performance has improved, I saw there was trouble with it in ModdedWarfare's video on it but not sure if games are much more playable or not.

I'd love to linux my ps5 at some point if I can use it as a portable, especially since people seem to be talking about getting denuvo games to run on ps5 linux.

Is PHU still not out and just being teased still?

Very soon hopefully, it was delayed until september but it seems like he might be releasing the non-APR version earlier, maybe next month. Either way, fingers crossed we have something by the end of the year. If not .phu then maybe something else.

My same advice holds up here, get an Ultra/SFF Optiplex used from expired corpo lease and slap in a video card. The Steam Machine is a weak piece of overpriced slop and since it's not running real x86 hardware it has to use an emulation layer that isn't as good.

I've manually launched it 30 mins+ after jailbreak succeeds and it always kpanics and shuts down my consoles.

Have you tried replacing the kstuff elf in the root of your data folder with a newer one? That’s the back bone of elf aresenal so if that’s out of date it can cause weird issues

Elf also doesn’t auto install one in that folder, so if you never put one there yourself manually it will cause the same kpanic you describe

That second one happened to me after a system restore 💀

Yesterday I had a mare that i turned on my 11.60 console and it had a major wobbly and i had to do a reset and apply the recovery firmware thus possibly losing my BD drive pairing.... and before you ask, no i had had any whiskey or rum before hand lol...

But, this does lead onto the obvious question though... if for whatever reason one has to apply a recovery firmware is there is a possibility that he BD pairing could be lost? Correct me if I am wrong but there is still no way to pair a BD drive but via PSN right?

I kept this post bookmarked for this very reason (never quite sure what the BD pairing current situation is).

This Xmas, my wish to Santa would be a full Poopsploit implementation for 12.00 FW. But, judging by past gifts (2023 / 2024), we’ll probably get another shiny new etaHEN. 🎅🎮

edit: Btw, I just did a factory reset on my new PS5 CFI-21xx (fw 11.40 and S/n S01-X558) and didn't lose BD pairing. I did some research first and decided to try it before getting too attached to the idea of a Poopsploit implementation in the future. Now I know I can reset safely if needed.

Here’s an updated quick summary of what seems to be public knowledge on...

It's OK, I'm using auto loader so I can just auto/manually load something if I need it, I don't especially need anything from arsenal :)
