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

Note: Though there are three USERLAND exploits and one KERNEL exploit, there are no public HYPERVISOR exploits available to complete the full exploit chain. A hypervisor exploit was rumoured to be held in private that only works on <3.00 firmware, and recently Flatz confirmed he has developed his own 2.50 HV exploit (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.

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 it out for hacks.

If you are on 1.XX-2.XX do not update at all, it may take years but HV exploit exists in private for this firmware range.
If you are on 3.XX-4.02: the advice is to update to 4.03, but don’t be tempted to update to 4.51 yet.

3: PS5 FPKGs won’t work as HEN and HV/kernel patches do not publicly exist for PS5 content yet.

4: Installing legit game PKGs you do not own will not work, even if spoofed.

5: If you get stuck in a boot loop at the PS logo, this means the SNVS is corrupted (if hash check fails on boot this causes a “soft brick”).

It’s not “bricked”, just reinstall your current firmware RECOVERY PUP in safe mode!

A fix for copying game folders with large folder depths (8 or more nested folders) in itemzflow will be coming in the next etaHEN and itemzflow update

this issue is also present in the pfsmnt-dumper payload and non-etaHEN FTPs, if you are using either of those methods check your… pic.twitter.com/hfzIpE7Xwm

@zebrone ps4 FPKG games work fine, no messing.

PS5 dumps are in decrypted folders. Any “dumps” that are ISO or PKG are worthless.

First off, the important stuff. Thanx much to the GBAtemp community...you've helped me mucho !!!
I'm mainly a lurker but post a rando question occasionally...riding a 6.72 PS4 Pro for the last few years...and still luv it.

All that being said, hav an FYI that could be helpful to some:
Just got my first PS5 delivered today. I ordered the Disc-console Spider-Man 2 bundle from Walmart...standard, not Slim.
So, crossed my fingers and plugged it in...it's on 6.5. Sweet !!!
I know...not super low FW, but prolly best I could have hoped for today.

Anyways, if any others are out there looking for 'whatever FW'...that's my experience.
Hope that helps

Good info!

Whats the model number (and packaging version*) and I’ll update this: https://gbatemp.net/threads/ps5-exploit-guide.613891/page-68#post-10219296

*for example is it the white console with spidey code, or actual spidey themed console?

Sorry KiiWii...should have included that info

From the box, the Model reads: CFI-1215A
And yes, the console is the standard White edition...not the Spidey graphics.

p.s. If anyone knows from experience?
Perty sure I can't use the download code to download Spider-man 2...as I'd imagine would require updating to latest fw. But, if I rented a Spider-Man 2 disc, could I play it with 6.5 fw? Just wondering if anyone has tried this??

 

[KiiWii]

@webslingr I have a feeling Spiderman 2 requires 7.xx (I have heard min 7.01 but also reports of 7.6x)

Ok KiiWii...thanx much for the info...not sure if I want to update at all.
Prolly gonna closet this console for a bit and check bak later.
I'm guessing I can sell the Spider-Man 2 scratch-it code that came with the bundle...least I hope so.

p.s. On my last post, I should have added...all my rando questions were answered by this community. Special thanx to Leeful...as he was particularly helpful to me

[razor10]

Bonjour a tous j'ai une information qui pourrait être utile à certains :
je viens de recevoir ma première PS5 aujourd’hui. J'ai commandé PS5 standard, pas Slim.
Alors, j'ai croisé les doigts et je l'ai branché... il est sur 5.50 !!!
Je sais... pas un FW très faible, mais probablement le meilleur que j'aurais pu espérer aujourd'hui.
Quoi qu'il en soit, si d'autres personnes recherchent « quel que soit le FW »... c'est mon expérience.
Dans la boîte, le modèle indique : CFI-1216A 01Y
S01 - F32A01HCS12172209
P. - 2 7 4 1 9 1 1 7 - E
J'espère que cela pourra aider

 

[schatzi24]

This have FW 5.50 or 6.00

 

[cloud-strife777]

I found Matrix Demo for itemzflow. It ist here allowed? It is only free Demo?

 

[KiiWii]

https://prosperopatches.com/PPSA08338

8.00.

That’s the update patch, not the 1.00 disc.

 

[KiiWii]

I found Matrix Demo for itemzflow. It ist here allowed? It is only free Demo?

I would not share any legit game PKG’s or content here.

Decrypted content is still copyright.

Does the duplex dumps work on 4.03? Says dumped and use 4.51
Someone asked me but I don't t know because I haven't tried it

The most Duplex dumps only for 4.51.

 

[hemi426]

The most Duplex dumps only for 4.51.

But do they run in 4.03 if the update doesn't require it,like a game with firmware 3.5 dumped on 4.51 ,I think so but I guessing here

Yes.

My spider themed PS5 came with 7.20 and I'm staying put. Exciting times

 

[Ukulele82]

My PS5 is on 6.50, so there is a chance to jailbreak soon? I'm playing on Xbox and don't need to update.
