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.

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!

oh... this really hurts.
breaks my heart, i was really looking forward to this one.

7.61 is the last one.

Yes also HV Exploit for my PS5 on FW 2.00

 

[Newhouse-Estates]

So i guess we might as well keep updating our updated consoles then since 9.60 isn't vulnerable.
Then keep the other at 4.03 obv.

 

[madbrainx]

Curiously, 7.61 is also the last BD-JB entry point firmware, and it was replaced by 8.00 exactly one year ago

 

[Adam512]

I like how you all have high hopes for the upcoming kex... I'm also someone who waits with hope for new homebrew... but remember that nothing has actually arrived yet. FW 2.XX and 7.61 have been talked about for a long time but so far most of the good stuff is private for higher FW(it may never be released)



maybe I'm wrong, but with FW 7.61 we have confirmed the following things:

1= BD-JB

2= webkit clobber leading to arbitrary RW

3= kernel -yielding kernel ASLR defeat(in spp)

4= kernel - FreeBSD vulnerability

5= maybe “Semi permanent” exploits

6=maybe ZenBleed in 7.61

Now that this exploit has become public, it's only a matter of time. There are many talented people in the scene that didn’t know about it before.

Fw 7.61 its better than 6.0.0.1?
So we have to update?

The problem is how to backport games with higher fw,or not?

 

[Marc_LFD]

Bought an OG PS5 (DIsc Drive Edition) via eBay for a reasonable price and the box says CFI-1016A, but maybe its owner has unfortunately updated so won't get my hopes up. $ony can keep their PS5 Pro and the stupid detachable disc drive.

Still, I really want to play DBZ Sparking! ZERO so might just buy the game while keeping the console on whatever firmware it is on.

Confirmed: 7.61 is the next golden firmware

That's awesome.

I'm still getting used to the way firmwares are numbered on PS5. They're like 24.05-09.60.00 and the part after 24.05 is the one that counts specifically, took me a while to get used to it maybe just out of stubbornness. lol

 

[almeignre]

does anyone know if the ff16 bundle is lower than 7.61 ? else what other bundles are for sure lower than 7.61 and that are not more than 2 years old ?

It's always better to stay on the oldest firmware possible until a jailbreak for a later firmware proves to be more advantageous. As to backports, since the PS5 has more security measures than the PS4, including a hypervisor, everything is much harder.

Out of curiosity, is there a way to bypass the online verification for the PS5 Slim detachable disc drive?

Same will apply to the PS5 Pro. The Pro nearly looks identical to the Slim, Slim = 1 stripe and Pro = 3 stripes. It's like they're trying to confuse customers and get them to spend $700.

Hey thanks!, do you know if sony just manufactures the bundles in the 1-2 months after a game release or do they keep manufacturing them afterwards too ?

There isn't a public tool that does this yet, and it might never exist. The safest bet in my opinion would be to sync the drive on the latest firmware version and keep it offline after that until a new jailbreak is released.

I think I've seen bundles with manufacturing dates that were over 6 months apart.

I bought a spider man 2 bundle with the "slim" model at $449. It was on 7.20 out of the box but I had to update to activate the disc drive and game code. It first time updated to 8.60 then to 9.40 and is now on 9.60. I will update it for the newer games and keep my second older model at its factory 2.00

Notes:
Mast1c0re entry point runs on all OFW.
Itemzflow runs on 4.03/4.51.
BD-J entry point runs on 1.xx-7.61.
You need 3.20-4-51 to use webkit entry point.
You need <=4.51 for kernel exploit.
You need 4.03 to enable PS4 FPKG.
You need 2.XX to exploit HV (unreleased).
