UMTX 6.xx-7.61 will require a new webkit exploit.

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.


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 it out for hacks on that firmware.

3: PS5 FPKGs cannot work as a hack for the a53 processor does not publicly exist to enable PS5 content as FPKG/PKG.

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!

I guess Sony wants all the money they can get with the PS5 Pro since they are selling it as Digital only so you have to pay full price for the disc drive if you want that. At least with the PS5 Slim you saved a bit by buying the Slim with the disc drive already included.

When you think about it people were willing to not only pay $600 for the PS3 60GB model but people were willing to pay scalper prices if they couldn't get one at retail. If the recent supply chain shortages has told these companies anything is that people are willing to pay obscene amounts of money just to get the latest.

That one had a ps2 built into it for that price. This one should play all the former iterations games for that price...

 

[FR0ZN]

I will go for route A and hope that a potential future exploit can activate the drive offline.

Got confirmation that the per console keys are required for this task.
There is no offline activation coming for the drives anytime soon (if even).
Plan your moves accordingly

This will patch current exploits!

Balls I was considering updating my PS5 to play Astro Bot and hopefully still be able to use this latest exploit. Guess I waited too long.

You can update to specific FW versions.
If Astro Bot runs on an exploitable FW, you should be fine.
But I'd wait until we have confirmation that the new exploit runs on the most recent FW.

 

[KiiWii]

Webkit still works on 10.00, but kernel probably not.

 

[Agos9998]

Hello. I have a ps5 with firmware 2.50. With the latest news on the Ps5 scene, kernel exploits have been revealed probably up to 9.60. My question is: should I sell it to get money and then buy a used ps5 with the latest fw? I've heard that ps5 with fw <=2.50 are the holy grail. If it would bring an exploit to this fw and the "hypervisor" things would be different than a fw9.60?

Yes, controlling the Hypervisor would actually give you the same expierience as an exploited PS4 with HEN.
The current kernel exploit for the PS5 more or less relys on workarounds to enable the current HEN features.

If we controlled the hypervisor could we play any games? Including games that require firmware update?

 

[FR0ZN]

No, it's the same limitation as on PS4.
You need someone on a higher FW to dump the game and backport it to your FW.

Or someone hacks the PSP, gets all the keys and decrypts/backports all the new games fornthe community.

Aye but I use an "American" account to get games cheaper than they are in the UK so I'd need to be able to get online on my PS5 to order Astro Bot, I'm assuming it'd force an update on me and not let me on the store if I wasn't on the latest FW?

Correct, I was assuming you are using the physical version.

Afaik yes it patches kernel, but not webkit.

thanks for clarifying. any info on what the grace period tends to be on PSN access for older firmware?
trying to install as many games locally as i can before its over

It’s usually one FW before (so 10.00-9.60: 9.40 will now most likely not work).

Firmware updates come every 2-3 months, .00 and .50 firmwares usually indicate key changes… so 9.60 - 10.00 means a new keyset.
