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!

Got mine for £625.50 from EE a month ago with a 10% off voucher they gave me from a previous order.

Firmware version is 9.05 and the serial number begins with S01-F1460.

Nice to see that on Pro they added grooves on the Heatsink to prevent dry spots. I just do not like the small heatsink that is just glued on with some thermal putty. Probably cfi-71 will fix it.

I’ve had my day one PS5 upright the whole time, I’ll be selling it on once my pro is home and set up tomorrow.

I’ll be running the pro upright too

Now if I bragged like that the original would have a meltdown and my pro would be DOA.

It has nothing to do with the position of the PS5 it helps in general and it looks much nicer then this 2 heatsinks that i bought from an rapairshop. Maybe the bad heatsinks were the reason why they broke.

 

[susi91]

Just got my Pro, package shows S01-F14601PEA, shopped at Amaz...de

Seems all fine, not D.O.A. and 9.05 installed

 

[KiiWii]

Ok so, I set my pro up with the SSD put in and the disc drive attached: and it wouldn’t let me see the firmware it came with without removing them.. it will remain schrodingers firmware.. was it 9.05, was it 9.40: who knows.

Didn’t have time to take it back apart and set up, so I just updated and signed back in… I always buying this to be my daily driver, so I’m not worried

The SSD was brilliant because I moved my games to it on my OG, took it out and put it in the PRO, all games were instantly ready to rock!

4TB pro!

Got mine set up on 10.20 ready for GT7 and Kayak, NMS and PSN catalogue goodies as well as review games.

still waiting for hypervisor exploit on ps5 4.03, now since pro is out im thinking of getting rid of it and stock the pro or should i wait, no big graphical leap like ps4 vs ps4 pro but still..

Going to be a while before you see HV exploit on 4.xx. You waited this long, would seem a wasted opportunity to sell it now.
Not 100% but heard graphical leap is larger between ps5 pro and ps5 base model than it was in previous generation. Just depends whether developer has patched their game to take advantage of the extra power...

Following extensive testing, I have identified the most reliable process for loading etaHEN with Byerpervisor:

1. load etaHEN which will check the FW version; if it is below 3.00, it will run Byerpervisor, display a notification, and automatically suspend after 3 seconds. (Clip… pic.twitter.com/GQ4Qyd58C5

Woot! Great news. With all attention going to HV exploit for 1.xx - 2.70fw I was worried that these older fw would languish for a while. LightningMods going to be very busy

[Jayinem]

So porting up to 7.61 back to lower firmwares only right now correct?

It should be possible to use the kbase from each of these to port the existing payloads (from 1.xx-4.51) up to 7.61

How do you keep internet connection and not update? I just tried to play Spiderman 2 it says an update has been downloaded, update console to play the game, and it won't let me play it without updating firmware. I use Chiaki which streams my PS5 to PC. If I have to I'll disconnect the internet and not use it but just seeing if any way around it.

Edit: It won't even let me play after disconnecting the internet. That's some straight bullshit. Is there someway to delete the update which is uninstalled?

Figured out how to delete the Spiderman update and system update, yet the system still tried to copy the update to the game and thus force me to update PS5. The only solution I guess was go offline delete the game reinsert game and play with no update. I assume that will work, reinstalling the game now. Hope there's no game breaking bugs.

I guess for the most part you need two PS5s where one just stays in the closet until it's on a hackable firmware and the other you update. Is that what most of you are doing?

Use one of the typical DNS servers to block all access to the Sony servers.
