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!

You can use IDU mode to install the demo, so yes; this could be a good entry point, especially for digital console users who are on 6.xx-7.xx.

But I thought IDU mode is a big no no / try to avoid it as good as possible?

Edit: @KiiWii
Cant you just diasble CEC on the console?

"open the Settings menu on your PS5. Then, head to System > HDMI and turn off the Enable HDMI Device Link option."

It’s sketchy, but can be useful, just have to avoid updates.

Thanks I’ll check it out

 

[HateradeDrinker]

I'm going super optimistic: hypervisor exploit on the most recent firmware. Don't reply to me with your negativity.

Temper expectations, probably etaHEN and Itemzflow for up to 7.61; which would be fantastic!

But would that be better than keys?

 

[KiiWii]

But would that be better than keys?

Good question. Better and more fun for end users?

Perhaps the thing that’s better than keys will be going to the back porters and LM, and therefore we will see newer games for older firmwares.

 

[KiiWii]

Looks like factory tools and service documentation has leaked.

This might unveil some good exploit vectors or ability to modify content, or open new options on our consoles.







Goes without saying: do not link them here.

 

[Newhouse-Estates]

That sounds like a HDMI-CEC thing too.

Powering on my tv, if the source is still set to the PS5 hdmi, powers the PS5 Pro on; and I can’t stop it happening… driving me mad, is there a setting on the PS5 to stop that?

I can’t turn off CEC because my soundbar is connected through HDMI too, it’s weird.

Yeah there's an option for it, sometimes i need to turn my tv off and on again to fix the input delay, and doing so used to put the PS5 in rest mode, cold check later the exact setting it is to turn it off.

 

[zebrone]

A CFW?

I think there is a setting for that. On the ps4 it said something about "allow hdmi to wake system", or something to that effect.

 

[Marc_LFD]

I decided to set up a spare PS5 I have with 9.60, update it, and allow to install an update of Spider-Man 2, but now it asks me to buy the game again. I already bought the game on disc.

It doesn't feel like I own the game as how they're treating it.

 

[naddel81]

so is NOW a good time to get a PS5 Slim?

 

[ccfman2004]

I'd be happy just being able to decrypt my PS4 digital content on my 4.51 PS5 without having to ask certain people that can use a certain PC app to decrypt PS4 content to do it for me.

 

[KiiWii]

With latest docs we can glitch the APU ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[Marc_LFD]

so is NOW a good time to get a PS5 Slim?

Because of the firmware? I've seen PS5 Slim consoles in person and I just don't like how cheap it looks, too plasticky for me.

Turns out my favorite model is the original with a black / gray (PS1-ish) face plate.

Speaking of PS1... Pretty stupid of Sony to make the 30th Edition themes limited edition. Just let the users keep them.

Well, keep... Borrow.

 

[KiiWii]

so is NOW a good time to get a PS5 Slim?

I don’t think this changes much today. Hold fire and see what happens from these docs and apps.

They’ve been locked now, but luckily they’ve been mirrored

Dl'ed games (also on disc) to my updated PS5 from the PSN Store and got plenty, but oh God, the PS5 menu is so disorganized. No folders, no nothing.

Even the Game Lists aren't really that helpful, hopefully they bring back the basic feature of making folders back.

Btw, Spider-Man 2 UAE import is working again after disabling automatic updates.

Nothing was as bad as the PS3 game menu. You couldn't even sort the games alphabetically, only recently installed/used and one other option. I swear some of the people involved in the UI are delusional on what they think people want.

If you added a category to PS3 games they'd be added to automatic folders, yeah it wasn't sorted alphabetically, but still better than what PS5 has now.
