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).

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!

Did having PS4 Pro over standard model have any significant impact on homebrew scene? Just wondering if it's worth storing a PS5 pro for a year or two....

Modded Warfare tested it and some Emulators on linux had higher FPS on PS4 Pro because of highre clocks. I think that a lot of the driver issues on PS4 Pro are resolved already. Driver issues can also occur on Phat PS4 models. I remember my PS4 needed an external usb Bluetooth adapter because the chip was not supported on linux. I thought about keeping a PS5 Pro on low fw but i would need two of them (one with connected Bluray drive on FW 10.20 and one on 9.40) this is not worth it for me. I will just update my pro to the latest FW and use it as main console, and probably sell my main cfi12. (If i am satisfied with it and do not return it)
I think that all this extra futures like PSSR and so on will make a PRO much more complicated and unstable to use if jailbroken. Best option with most driver support is probably CFI-10 then CFI-12 and then CFI-11.
With PS6 i will probably stop buying consoles and letting them sit unused. Would not surprise me if by then all games require a online connection to play campaign. (CoD BO6)

I had two pre orders for ps5, because someone else had it cheaper than Sony. I was tempted to upgrade one for the drive and keep one on 9.4

But I cancelled one and I think I'll either pair the drive or sell the drive. I have a day or so to consider it. 9.4 and 10.20 are not that far away from each other.

It's a risk of course, but I'm hoping that 10.20 doesn't become totally unhackable

There is a risk you will need a disc to do a future exploit

That was my thought. I have a PS4 pro and it was always more stable.

I haven't really used my 4.50 ps5 yet though. I ought to do something with it.

9.05 (factory firmware) suggests manufacturing as early as March/April 2024, not June.

I have a tracking number for mine, it's showing as express 24 but no movement yet.

It's interesting they manufactured them with different firmware

I’m paying for mine tomorrow but I don’t have a car until Friday, so I’ll leave mine at work until I can get it Friday afternoon :/

Ours are 7021’s where I work so I’m interested to see what firmware it comes on, but I will be using it as my daily driver, so I’ll be updating day one.

What happens first

-the next election (as in 2028)
-PS5 Pro gets a hack to play backups

can you check build date from outside of box?

Current methods to read the serial are inaccurate.

NSTG is making a list, hopefully they will share their findings.

PS5 Pro serial number information according to user QTR_703:

Ps5 pro serial number guide
S01-x147 9.40 / 9.60
X = F / E
1 = ps5 pro
4 = 2024
7 = July


The pro started to manufacture in late June so :
S01-x146 9.40
S01-x147 9.40 / 9.60
S01-x148 9.60
S01-x149 9.60/ 10
S01-x14A 10/10.20
X= F /E

You mean the above you posted before is inaccurate?

PS5 Pro serial number information according to user QTR_703:

Yeah, as I mentioned earlier a 9.05 has been found which indicates March/April manufacture date, which doesn’t align with the June thing.

Are you telling me I could have been playing a ps5 pro over half a year ago!? Sony be damned

 

[KiiWii]

Are you telling me I could have been playing a ps5 pro over half a year ago!? Sony be damned

9.05 does not seem to be the norm, 9.40 is more prolific, which is from June but 9.05 is factory installed firmware, not available as an update PUP afaik.

Especially the election!
