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!

it's not so much that people do what they do, but they question the integrity of people who actually care, such as myself. you know that if thefl0w had really quit after Gregory Rasputin's remarks, there would be no ps5 exploits. yet people still defend this asshole.

That stuff with people saying he sold out to Sony really pissed me off. We got the exploit and he made some money. Plus the bonus is with it being patched in later firmwares, no online cheating. The only major downside was the wait. But I'd rather wait and know he was paid a large amount of money for his work than not wait and then he gets nothing.

indeed, like they wouldn't do the same for 10 to 50 grand when a dev might get $150 for a year in donations after spending thousands of hours on making something easy and safe. it does piss me off, because it does seem like the only people who get respect are uploaders, who upload to specific sites to make money, not to help the scenes. if people don't see that, they're stupid beyond belief.

 

[godreborn]

off topic, but next year will be the 50th anniversary of the greatest album of all time, "dark side of the moon." I plan to change my avatar then, if I can find some 50th anniversary one.n 1973, baby!

 

[chrisrlink]

oh how i remember the OGXbox days where you could burn modded morrowind discs and run them on softmodded systems shows how tight security is now and 3do had NO security at all LITTERALLY slap in a pirated game and it will run

 

[Prb]

Great stuff here

 

[UnderJinx]

Great stuff here

Does it mean we will have a full PS5 jailbreak?

 

[KiiWii]

Does it mean we will have a full PS5 jailbreak?

Not without a hypervisor exploit.

 

[Newhouse-Estates]

well, I can tell you that's hard to care about these people, who don't donate to buying these games, to devs, or even their time. I'd hate the idea of dying yet no one would even notice. that's how I see the vast majority of useless ingrates in these scenes, especially the playstation ones. I mean if you can put a console in the closet for several years, you can donate $5 to someone who in some cases is saving you thousands.

Not without a hypervisor exploit.

I'm happy with just getting the homebrew and emulation scene on PS5 started, Just imagine homebrew ports with Ray tracing support.

 

[godreborn]

I'm perfectly content with the homebrew scene on the series x. though, I wish they allowed emulators and stuff on retail. it gets taken down in less than a day, but you don't get in trouble if you download it. it's just annoying if you have to uninstall something and whatnot. devmode is good, but it takes like a minute or so just to switch over as it's like a sandboxed environment. I wish the ps5 had something like this, then I doubt sony would have to worry much about things like piracy. look how much microsoft is saving, not having to give bounties to hackers like every other day, because they're beyond incompetent at this point.

 

[Prb]

Here we go

 

[Newhouse-Estates]

Here we go

Yup, there it is!

 

[Tomato123]

Installing PKGs seems to be possible. I would assume that booting them is not possible without some sort of HEN.
(The tweet is also inaccurate because it hasn't been jailbroken fully yet due to the hypervisor)

so base on Ps5 spec we can install ps4 pkg lol!!

 

[Tomato123]

Installing and running are two different things. But yes, installing seems to be possible.

 

[Tomato123]

A warning for people trying this out. Bricks are possible. Remember, there is no reason to use it yet unless you're a developer. Give devs time to make stuff more stable and actually make it useful for an end-user (Which is still unlikely with the limitations of it).

 

[lingbergh]

So 4.03 is the golden firmware...at least for now?

 

[KiiWii]

So 4.03 is the golden firmware...at least for now?

Golden for webkit entry point. Up to 4.51 should work for BD-J entry point, which may prove more stable. But wait it out before updating.

 

[KiiWii]

Be warned. It’s not perfect yet, and it’s not exactly the same as ps4.
