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).


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!

^^ Interesting, I was expecting rock solid stability with byepervisor but still has issues with some PS4 fpkgs. Seems like people's experiences vary on 2.xx
Hacking, regardless of level, does not = stability.

If anything you’re polluting the system with extra processes and making issues it wouldn’t normally encounter.

Idk, I’ve said it before: we need to get used to crashing and panics in general, it’s just part and parcel of attempting to beat security processes.

Maybe one day we will get a holy grail hack again.

Lot of this is theory to me until I can get etahen/itemzflow running on my fw. Looking forward to my first kernel panic hehe. Was reading the other day that "custom firmware" is the holy grail. Fingers crossed as I'm kind of lazy 😂

Steps for anyone willing to help:

Requirements: must have a PS5 on a missing fw connected to a local network and a bluray burner

Step 1 - burn ps5-jar-loader-2.1.0.iso from https://github.com/hammer-83/ps5-jar-loader/releases to a bd-r or bd-re with imgburn or other

Step 2 - with the burned bd on the PS5 start ps5-jar-loader 2.1.0 from media tab

Step 3 - socat FILE:umtx2-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar TCP:<PS5 IP>:9025

Step 4 - wait for kernel r/w then: socat FILE:kerneldump-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar TCP:<PS5 IP>:9025

Step 5 - netcat <PS5 IP> 5656 > dumpfile.bin

Step 6 - send the bin file to Zecoxao after kernel dump completion

So useful. Was told not to get a Blu-ray drive r/rw weeks ago. Plan was to use a working WebKit but at least I could have helped with testing. Any recommended BR drives?

Also @KiiWii could some of these guides be referenced in OP or would it get to cluttered?

I have a 5-year-old Pioneer (bdr 212) that's still working rock solid and has great reviews. It works flawlessly with Sony's 2x BD-REs discs

Wonder if the save game exploit is Little big planet 3 I saw it and dlc is getting removed from PlayStation store today . Probably not though but never know haha

It’s probably unrelated to the jailbreak, as people with digital PS5s need to have the game installed before Sony released firmware 8.00. Downloading digital games require an updated firmware. They've been doing this for some time: https://screenrant.com/playstation-plus-games-leaving-september-2024-catalog/

    That's what kind of bothers me. People asking the same question from decades ago. It's like a cycle going round and round. If they can't be arsed to search something so simple and easy to identify, then I can't think for words.
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    the problem is, it is a regular chat channel, discord had forum channels for quite a while now, but the server doesn't have any
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I literally joined expecting to find something specific because their troubleshooting and faq pages are lacking a lot of information
    +1
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    but since they don't have forums it is kinda hard, a lot of messages are either outdated or related to other conversations

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Oof. That's not looking good. Would be good if they at least put some FAQ & troubleshooting pages up; rather than ask somebody who clearly knows very little about the subject.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Outdated stuff that involves hardware modifications is always a bad idea.

    I once had a shared folder on google drive, one of the collaborators was putting porn on it with the file names and extensions all changed to avoid suspicion
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    took me a while to realize
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    I have it on a shared folder so the other person will be blamed if someone finds out
