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) (WK/BD/Y2/NF/LUA/YARPE: 6.02 for Linux / 6.50 max)

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)

PS5 factory mode PUP installation path:
/usb/PROSPERO/UPDATE/PROSPEROUPDATE.PUP

NOTE: Make a system back up before attempting any modifications.
On console: go to [Settings] > [System] > [System Software] > [Back Up and Restore] > [Back Up Your PS5]

Select Your Jailbreak:

    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.

  8. [UPDATED]
    No longer needed if using latest WebKit (to 13.60) or BD-JB (to 13.42)!


    Important:

    This method modifies the BD-J stack to allows BD-JB entry point to be re-enabled on consoles up to 13.60, for convenience 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
OFW 13.xx runs PS4 games up to 13.52
OFW 14.xx runs PS4 games up to 14.00


(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: Installing legit game PKGs you do not own will never work, even if spoofed.

4: 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.

According to my own use and reports from others on Reddit; the autoloader method seems to be more unstable than JBing via user guide. The relapse site has also added a selection of payloads to use, at least whatever one is sent by the alternative DNS server that’s been floating around.

I am still trying out autoloader but I get KPs and freezing up kinda often.
I have 0 issues with all 3 versions on 13.60. I heard that people were having issues on lower FW's.

Good to hear that the original repo now also covers paylods.

I'll stick with the autoloader (0.5.2) for now. It's just one click, wait like 15/20 seconds untill all the payloads that I have are loaded and you are good to go.

For me it does not get any better, unless there's a script that when booting the console auto enables the autoloader If i'm being very lazy.

There was something like that for PS4. Just a script that moves the cursor around for you. :D Not sure if there's anything like that for PS5.
 
IMO it is. Same noise level (quiet) but less power usage. Last one I received was 3 weeks ago and it was on 12.40. The longer you wait, the higher the firmware will be.....
Post automatically merged:



Keep both ;)

I would keep the most quiet one, but that's me. Do you know the model numbers?
Are you from Europe? Probably in USA these consoles have high demand, if it wasn't for you I won't know of these refurbished consoles, here I don't know of anyone buying PS5 from Sony itself, only on retail stores, let alone refurbished, just want to know if there's any risk of buying one with firmware 14.00

Just for some more anecdotal data, on a FW 9.60 console I'm not finding the Webkit Autoloader with Poopsploit to be any better or worse than Y2JB with Lapse. Both take about the same amount of time, and fail about as infrequently.
One more anecdote: Poopsploit seems to hate the 8.x series FW. It works eventually, but failed probably 9 times out of 10 for me. Switched to Y2JB with Lapse and had 100% success (has yet to fail). The new Relapse also has been pretty much rock solid on 8.x. Lots of YMMV depending on your exact setup, so it does take some experimentation.

Yes, you can see from my profile I'm from The Netherlands. They all ship from the same EU warehouse in Poland. The chance of getting a 14.00 is very slim imo. And if you do you can return it for free so it won't cost you anything to find out.

Thanks, you are correct, they must have a stack of refurbished ps5 in the warehouse, for instance fw 12.40 was released on December 2025, probably, there must be consoles even older than 12.40
 
What is the stability of this new exploit, read that the lower the firmware, the highest success rate, on 13.60 has some issues, random crash, kernel panics and so on, probably the best strategy is to maintain the lowest possible.
 
One more anecdote: Poopsploit seems to hate the 8.x series FW. It works eventually, but failed probably 9 times out of 10 for me. Switched to Y2JB with Lapse and had 100% success (has yet to fail). The new Relapse also has been pretty much rock solid on 8.x. Lots of YMMV depending on your exact setup, so it does take some experimentation.
Im on firmware 8.40 and poopsploit wont work but Y2JB and lapse are working like 90% of the time.

I'm on 13.42. Using a modified version of soniciso's host locally with some added cards so I can launch kstuff, shadowmountplus and wfm while in the user guide still. I would guess I have had likely around an 80% success rate but when it fails the restart locks up and I have to manually turn it off and on again. Then takes a while scanning drives booting up again but whatever, Might be because both the m.2 and the internal storage is almost full of stuff but not sure really. I am more familiar with the PS4 and homebrew there so still figuring some of the PS5 out yet.

I did install some PS4 pkgs and ended up with Vice City being an empty folder on my M.2 yet it said it was like 330 GB and when trying to delete it, "Can't Delete". That was fun. Put a fodler copy of the MK Kollection into the /data/hombrew/ directory and just randomly stopped working. Not sure why really. Just deleted it, rebooted and copied it back over and seems fine now at least.

Stupid operating system from Sony, as an abnormal shut down, it needs to scan all hdd content, to check for consistency, probably on successful shutdown, the operating system writes in some file on the HDD, a parameter like for instance Succcesful_shutdow=1, which on next boot, it skips checking content, the opossite as an example Succcesful_shutdow=0 or missing 1, it needs to scan everything, just a complete waste of time, specially when jailbreak fails.

Stability on par with an old Raspberry Pi with some janky MicroSD card.
A power outage there also has the potential to blow up the file system.

I just remember the days of apps disappearing on the PS4 so the thought of doing a safe mode cache clear or database rebuild makes me twitch a little. Could be worse though and hell, I know there is a certain amount of risk mucking around with stuff so if something borks, I'd only blame myself lol.

Indeed, but we have an app for that now: https://github.com/thanhsondev/PS5-FPKG-RESTORE/releases
