No. At least nothing serious as of right now. As I mentioned B4 the browser won't play nicely for ~50 min.

On the other hand, does it necessarily have to be chained with a kex? Couldn't you just use the WebKit to gain userland privileges and then manually inject kex of your choosing such as P2JB. Similar to how lua and other userlands are deployed.

But you won't know for sure unless you try

Yeah sure. Forget about p2jb for now. There's is nothing to "try" for now.
Probably you didn't get the idea but 12.02-12.70 will always be ~50 minutes till another kernel exploit comes out. End of story.

Yes but of course. That's how these things work in general.

Yes but of course. That's how these things work in general.

I don't mind using P2JB for the time being untill a better kex comes up. What I don't want is having to wipe my system to enable Y2JB for example which is the only other "free" userland available for 12.02+.
What I'm thinking is, get userland with webkit, manually escalate with P2JB and once the system is JB'n backup my saves with earth onion.
Once that is done initially, no need to worry about webkit browser instability with P2JB 50+ min runtime as Y2JB already chains with it through the autoloader and can be installed manually once you have the initial JB.
What am I missing in this scenario?

Hello, time to give something back so i wrote a small tutorial

Me and my ex used this to webkit jailbreak the ps4 on 9.00, now i use Vue for the ps4. i find this method to be the best for webkit because the hardware is cheap , it's a real networking device and the exploit can easily be updated.

good luck and enjoy

How to use an offline OpenWrt router to host a PS5 WebKit Jailbreak

WARNING:
The PS5 and the internet should stay separate to prevent accidental updates, so never connect anything to the WAN port of this router

What first?

Buy or find an OpenWrt compatible router: (mine is a TP-Link Archer C6 v3).
Flash OpenWrt: Follow the official OpenWrt guide for your specific router model. (There are plenty of tutorials online for this).
Download an FTP client that supports the SCP protocol (for example the portable version of WinSCP or FileZilla).

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Initial Router Setup
Connect your PC to the OpenWrt router using a LAN cable (into the LAN1 port). Open your browser, go to http://192.168.1.1, and set up your default admin username and password.
Note: Wired connections work out of the box; Wi-Fi needs to be configured manually if you intend to use it later.

Step 2: Enable SSH Access as a fallback
Go to System -> Administration -> SSH Access (or URL: http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci/admin/system/admin/dropbear). Make sure SSH is enabled.
If you accidentally break the LuCI web interface, you can still access and fix your router via the ssh command line.

Step 3: Redirect the PlayStation Manual DNS
Go to Network -> DHCP and DNS (or URL: http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci/admin/network/dhcp).
Look for DNS Forwardings / addresses, paste the following line to the Addresses field, and click the + icon:

Code:

/manuals.playstation.net/192.168.1.1

Note: If your OpenWrt router uses a different local IP address, replace 192.168.1.1 with your router's actual IP. Click Save & Apply.

Step 4: Verify the DNS Redirect
On your connected PC, open a web browser and try to visit https://manuals.playstation.net. You should get a Certificate Error / Security Warning. This means the redirect is working perfectly. You can safely ignore the warning and proceed.

Step 5: Connect via SFTP/SCP
now we start the SCP client we downloaded (for this example i used WinSCP)
connect to:
[*]File Protocol: SCP
[*]Hostname: 192.168.1.1 (or your custom router IP)
[*]Port: 22
[*]Username & Password: Use your LuCI web interface credentials.
Click Login. Warning: Do not alter or delete any files outside of this guide unless you know what you are doing.

Step 6: Create the Exploit Directory Structure
Navigate to the root directory, then go to the /www folder.
Leave index.html alone! (That file loads your router's LuCI interface).
Create the following folder structure , first "document", then "en" so you end up with:

Code:

/www/document/en

Note: The language folder depends entirely on your PS5's system language. If your PS5 is set to English, create a folder named en. If it is set to Dutch, create nl, etc. see this list for more details: https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps5/Languages, look in the column language code, you need the 2 letter combo (en, de , jp, ru, pl etc)

Step 7: Upload your Exploit Files
Create a simple index.html file on your PC with some placeholder text (for example"Hello PS5"). Upload this file to your newly created folder (for me it's /www/document/en/index.html).

Step 8: Connect the PS5
Disconnect all LAN cables from the OpenWrt router. Now, connect your PS5 directly to the router's LAN1 port using a LAN cable.

Step 9: Launch the Exploit Page
Turn on your PS5. Go to Settings -> Network and enable the internet connection.
Next, go to the PS5 home screen and navigate to:
Settings -> User's Guide, Health and Safety, and Other Information -> User's Guide. ignore the certificate warning

Success!
Instead of the official Sony manual, you should now see the custom text you wrote in your index.html file. if you see a /document/xx/ not found it means the files are not in the correct folder, read step 6 again.

You are now fully ready to host a WebKit exploit locally on your router inside that folder. Simply swap out your placeholder index.html with the exploit files (like the upcoming poopsploit port once it is perfected and released).
