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!

Where'd you buy that PS4 Pro face plate?

I made it.

 

[Marc_LFD]

PS6 is in development and they just announced the $700 PS5 Pro.

https://www.reuters.com/technology/how-intel-lost-sony-playstation-business-2024-09-16/

Sony is giving some serious Sega vibes with these consoles.

PS5 will probably be my last PS console as it just gets less and less exclusives. Nintendo? I'll probably still buy 'em.

PS5 will probably be my last PS console as it just gets less and less exclusives. Nintendo? I'll probably still buy 'em.

In my opinion, Playstation will become more and more exclusive because Microsoft is not playing fair... acquiring COD, bathesda and making pc and xbox games equals. We are already seeing game developers chose sides and this is good for the gaming industry. This not only keeps everyone entertained but it also keeps the prices of games and consoles affordable for everyone. Before microsoft stopped xbox exclusives on xbox consoles, I used to have a Playstation and an Xbox...but I have a gaming pc and an internet connection that can find me any games available.... so why would i buy an xbox anymore. Also it seems the latest xbox exclusives were a bust (redfall, halo 5, pentiment,crossfirex, scorn...) I've always supported Sony Playstation and probably always will (except the ps5 pro...as it doesn't seem like a big enough upgrade to me)
But these are my personal opinions and everyone is entitled to their own.

 

[iguanoPT]

Sony is just getting greedy again.
Where have we all seen it before?

"It only does... Everything"?

 

[AlphaBravo]

I'm interested in buying a Blu-ray RW but wondering if it's certain that a WebKit will be developed for new 7.61 exploit. Did something similar happen with the 4.xx series or did they go straight to WebKit?

 

[lotnybartek]

Listen to this one. Everything is explained there.

https://gbatemp.net/threads/ps5-exploit-guide.613891/page-202#post-10496015

 

[AlphaBravo]

I saw the video. I'm asking because if it takes a long time to develop a WebKit for 7.61 I might as well buy BR-rw, especially if homebrew and backups are possible (beyond FTP)...

 

[KiiWii]

I have started an “up to 7.61” compatibility thread in anticipation of the upcoming jailbreak.

https://gbatemp.net/threads/ps5-7-61-compatibility-thread.660948/

Please contribute if you can

 

[Marc_LFD]

Aw, it's on 9.60.

Should I keep it offline or is it too late of a firmware?

 

[madbrainx]

I’d return it if I could. New jailbreaks are likely to be much rarer on firmware 8.00 and later, since Sony appears to have successfully blocked access to syscalls and libkernel using the known userland exploit methods. Interestingly, Flatz named his exploit 'Graal' likely referring to the Holy Grail. Perhaps this was the best exploit he had in private.

 

[KiiWii]

Aw, it's on 9.60.

Too late, return it.

 

[Marc_LFD]

Too late, return it.

Figured that'd be the case, dang. It's in really nice condition.

I've looked and looked and most are unfortunately updated.

Thanks for the response.

better to wait until cofirmation, don't throw your money away

Good news, a friend of mine was able to convert mask patches, which is currently giving etaHEN 1.8b issues.

Here is a converted xml patch of Sonic Frontiers1.40 if anyone is interested in testing it out. After download, make sure you replace the txt ending with xml. It will be CUSA28194.xml
Then put the patch in the this directory: /data/etaHEN/patches/xml

Dont know how to send it?
Must you have already eta hen and fw 4.51?

Your PS5 must be on a jailbreakable firmware. Then either FTP the file to that directory, or use Lapy's PS5-Xplorer homebrew to copy and paste the file there.
What firmware are you on?

PS5 weeTools PRO v0.2.0

* A lot of EMC error codes (18 millions)
* Detailed information about each error
* MAC cloning

Noob here i thought PS5 doesn't have a Browser how can a WEBkit to be applied and if there is one how to access it?
