21.02-04.03.00.00-00.00.00.0.1

First BD-J + Kernel access exploit provided by Sleirsgoevy (29/9/22)

Note: There are several USERLAND exploits, a couple of KERNEL exploits, and there is now a public HYPERVISOR exploits available for 1.xx-2.70 to complete the full exploit chain (23/10/24).

Recently Flatz confirmed he has developed his own HV exploit (1.xx-4.51 which is kept private) which was chained from a PS4 save game, and has successfully dumped PlayStation Secure Processor (27/07/23).

Spoiler: Hacking Timeline

As of August 4th 2022: We can now install PS4/PS5 PKG games and updates (and by extension FPKGs) however official PKGs cannot be run unless you legitimately owned them previously digitally and have a licence for them on your current console, or if you own the disc (for update pkgs).

As of October 6th PS4 FPKG can be played on 4.03 OFW thanks to Sliersgoevy FPKG enabler!

Payload: https://gbatemp.net/download/4-03-fpkg-enabler-hen.38248/

As of October 21st PS4 FPKG can be played on 4.50 thanks to cheburek3000 porting offsets.

Payload: https://gbatemp.net/download/4-50-fpkg-enabler-hen.38279/

As of October 25th theflow0 fixes BD-J path traversal and native code execution for 7.61
https://x.com/theflow0/status/1717088032031982066?s=46&t=PIYQV4jmWEyCbVfx3Nx26g

As of November 4th ktuff is fixed for 4.51:

Payload: https://gbatemp.net/download/fpkg-enabler-4-51-hen.38306/

Nov 7th PS5 backups loaded via Itemzflow by Lightningmodz and Echostretch. Fully decrypted dumps require system files bundled into them in order to run without crashing with Libhijacker (no hen required), details here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/ps5-exploit-guide.613891/page-109#post-10290677

As of November 30th ps5debug has been released by SiSTR0: https://github.com/GoldHEN/ps5debug
Mirror: https://gbatemp.net/download/ps5debug.38333/

Dec 1st: first PS5 trainer (Dark Souls) is completed ready for the imminent release of REAPER Multi Trainer II by CTN.

Dec 25th: PS5 back up loading via ITEMZFLOW now released: https://pkg-zone.com/details/ITEM00001

As of Jan 2nd 2024 Sleirsgoevy has ported K-Stuff offsets for 3.xx firmwares.

As of Jan 4th 2024 LM had added 3.XX Kstuff to Itemzflow meaning 3.XX-4.51 is now supported for PS4/PS5 backups and dumping.

Oct 8th 2024: BD-JB + Kernel works on 7.61 thanks to user Hammer.

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 cannot work as 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.

Can i remote play on pc with ps5 4.03.

https://github.com/jeroendev-one/ps5-db-backup

A payload to be sent to the ELF loader on port 9021.

This payload backups up several databases from /system_data/priv/mms to your USB. At the time of writing FPKG's from external drives are still on the system but lost from the homescreen after a forced rebuild of the database, in case you have a backup using this payload you can restore that. Internally installed FPKG's will be gone after a rebuild.

 

[solitaire4eva]

If you mean that are on 4.xx firmware I count 0. I want Final Fantasy Rebirth, Spider-man 2 and Star Wars Jedi Survivor. Those are the only reason I want a PS5 at all and FF Rebirth isn't out until Feb 27th.

However we're just 3 years in and they're already beginning to stop porting PS5 games on PS4 so there will be more down the road no doubt.

Can't wait to see the next PS5 only releases down the line.

I think only if you activated on 4.03 and use chiaki

[White_Raven_X]

Well It looks like Nomadic’s DNS Server, which is 62.210.38.117 did NOT protect my PS5 from downloading an update. Great!

 

[eosia]

Well done!

I don't have social media and when I tried to check the only info I could see was from a while back. Too late now anyways...

Run it once to cache everything then disable PS5 Internet access - either disable WiFi or unplug RJ45 cable. Now you're running everything offline

I wonder what disc games do differently

I wonder what disc games do differently

Perhaps it’s the licence on the disc that’s the issue? No idea tbh.

So this mean only the games we purchased from PSN can be backup and played correct?

I've tested a few physical copies and they all failed. This doesn't mean it won't work and really makes no sense. The weekend I'll have more time and I will compare files from both same game digital/physical and see if I can find something or if it's just the game.
