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.

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.

ShadowMountPlusFan (PS5)​

For unknown reasons, a jailbroken PS5 console's Southbridge loses control over the cooling fan's speed. Regardless of how high the APU temperature gets, the fan speed remains stuck at 19%. As a result, the APU temperature can spike up to 90°C in many games.

Enhanced Temperature Threshold Control: Improved validation for the temperature threshold range and added corresponding status/warning prompts.

Standardized Data Structure: Referencing the ps5upload plugin, a standard 28-byte structure is now used to transmit fan control parameters.

Community Feedback & Firmware Compatibility:Confirmed Working (10.01 & Below): Multiple users have confirmed that the fan operates normally on firmware 10.01, showing significant temperature reduction. Highly recommended for users on firmware 10.01 and below.SLIM 12.4 Success: Reports also indicate that the plugin works normally on PS5 SLIM (Firmware 12.4) models.

Caution for High Firmwares: However, some users have noted that the fan control strategy might still have bugs on firmware 10.06 and above. Users on higher firmware versions should proceed with caution.

Ups... I was expecting a payload alone, not integrated on shadownmount (and will be obsoleted after updates).

Well, at least, finally we have something apart of the elf-arsenal fan.

Thanks, HS2005.

I'm confused. I'm looking some answers but I can't find them.
I'm using cheats for FFVII Rebirth. I have the EU version (PPSA08668), but cheats for the US version (PPSA08666) is made. I renamed it and loaded it.

So to be short: the cheats work. The game loads, the cheats can be selected via the menu and can be activated. All work.
The bad / wierd news: Everytime I activate a cheat I get a black screen or a inf. saving screen. Once you activate a cheat and disable it the game get's stuck. You cannot get around it.

So: can you use cheats with official game disks? If not do you need to dump your game or do something else to get this working..

Second question. I'm not able to play a disk game (Wukong for example) I cannot load it via Itemzflow or other method. It keeps mentioning that the data is damaged. Does somebody know why this is the case. The game is installed properly.

I'm using cheats for FFVII Rebirth. I have the EU version (PPSA08668), but cheats for the US version (PPSA08666) is made. I renamed it and loaded it.

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.

ShadowMountPlusFan (PS5)​

For unknown reasons, a jailbroken PS5 console's Southbridge loses control over the cooling fan's speed. Regardless of how high the APU temperature gets, the fan speed remains stuck at 19%. As a result, the APU temperature can spike up to 90°C in many games.

Enhanced Temperature Threshold Control: Improved validation for the temperature threshold range and added corresponding status/warning prompts.

Standardized Data Structure: Referencing the ps5upload plugin, a standard 28-byte structure is now used to transmit fan control parameters.

Community Feedback & Firmware Compatibility:Confirmed Working (10.01 & Below): Multiple users have confirmed that the fan operates normally on firmware 10.01, showing significant temperature reduction. Highly recommended for users on firmware 10.01 and below.SLIM 12.4 Success: Reports also indicate that the plugin works normally on PS5 SLIM (Firmware 12.4) models.

Caution for High Firmwares: However, some users have noted that the fan control strategy might still have bugs on firmware 10.06 and above. Users on higher firmware versions should proceed with caution.

Didn't know that. Is there a way to check CPU temp if you're just running SM+ and kstuff lite?

Didn't want to use Elf Arsenal as some reported kp on higher firmwares.

So far I could use my PS5 normally without CPU temp being too high causing the console to shut off.

But isn't that a worse option if you already have a ps5, or is the ps5-linux performance actually worse than the BC-250?

I've seen videos on that card and it seems you need to either pop the fin-stack open, or duct a fan to it since it's server style cooling. Also I was under the impression that they're faulty PS5 chips without the same amount of gpu cores.

I had no idea of this. I was wondering why I was hitting 92° on some games, thought it was because I have it vertical. Seems like an important thing to take note of in the scene.. hopefully people don't fry their consoles

Some were crypto miners... there's a community working on the bc250 unlocking and overclocking

I remember looking at them used towards the end of last year, beginning of this year and they were going for $60-$100! Now because of the accomplishment, they sit around $200!

Ups... I was expecting a payload alone, not integrated on shadownmount (and will be obsoleted after updates).

Well, at least, finally we have something apart of the elf-arsenal fan.

Thanks, HS2005.

I'm using PHU to check the fan speed. Came across this project and thought to share it with you. Could be handy for some users and scenarios.

i got a problem with ps5 upload.
there is an section in Hardware tab named console health
its suppose to say some info:
1- Lifetime power-on
2- Boot cycles
3- Thermal alerts
4- Last power-up
i never could have make it show info, its kinda fixed on some random number, do i need to be on specific fw to see this section work? or is there any other way to get these kind of info from a jailbroken-console?
to be honest i got a batch of ps5s that are on fw 8 and they are "new", but i see many kinds of scratches that tell otherwise.
i havnt been able to find information anywhere to know for sure that if a ps5 is refreshed, so any info anyone can give will be most welcome.
thanks in advance:wub:

Yeah I saw articles about them being around that price even after linux support first came out, which would have been a steal but just checked and they are £220-£260 here which is like $300-$350.

When you combine the fact you need a psu, nvme and a bunch of fans and most likely a 3d printed case.
You might as well just buy a damn ps5 on low fw lol.

How much does a low FW, lets say 7.61 and below runs for these days?
 
It worked. Attached the disc drive, connected to the internet, rebooted, and works fine. :)

I played DriveClub sadly there are no improvements, still feels 30fps.

Thanks, now I have a proper PS5 Pro. :)

Depends on who's selling it really. Some people are selling 3.xx and 4.xx consoles for around £400, other people selling 11.00 consoles for £800, and vice versa. So it's a mixed bag but it seems for 7.61 and lower, you're looking at around £400-£600. Which is really good, and probably only because most people only want an exploitable firmware for piracy, not linux.

So since you need higher firmware for most games, even with backports. I think lower firmwares are actually less desirably now so they have to be priced in competition with higher exploitable firmwares. At least as far as the general population is concerned. You have to know what you're wanting besides ps5 piracy, to want a single digit firmware console.

Either way once you get everything to build yourself a mini ps5 with the BC-250, it'll cost you around £500 anyway when a decent 1tb-ish nvme will costs you around £180 nowadays.

Plus I've seen them being advertised as Steam Machines, so that's how sellers are trying to justify the price hike on the BC-250's too. It would have been great though if you got one earlier before the price spike.

£800?! That's crazy for a PS5 or just any console at all.

My OG PS5 on 7.00 has the option to login with passcode, but the Pro doesn't show it. How can I enable it to require me to login with passcode?

Thanks.

"No low ballers, I know what I got."
There's people selling 12.xx-13.xx consoles for £1000 and you don't even get the fucking box lol.

Do you mean it doesn't show up as an option in the system settings? I would assume the passcode option would be in the same place on both consoles. I don't have a pro, but it should be under the login section of the account settings. Is it not there on your pro?

Nope, it's not there.

I looked around to try and enable the passcode feature, but I dunno.
