Tutorial  Updated

PS5 Exploit Guide

Latest OFW: 7.20 (19/04/23)
Highest PS5 OFW hackable: 4.51 (highest for Znulls new method)
Highest for Mast1c0re native code exec: 6.00 (unreleased)
Highest for Mast1c0re PS2 classics: 6.50 (relies on offsets)

First BD-J + Kernel access exploit provided by Sleirsgoevy (29/9/22)

Note: Though there are three USERLAND exploits and one KERNEL exploit, there are no public HYPERVISOR exploits available to complete the exploit chain, so there is no chance of HEN, and therefore no PS4/PS5 backup loading yet.

(Note: a hypervisor exploit is rumoured to be held in private that works on <2.50 firmware).

• 4.51 OFW for BD-JB entry point.
• 3.00/3.20/3.21/4.02/4.03/4.50/4.51 OFW for webkit entry point
• No firmware requirement for Mast1c0re PS2 classics entry point

NOTE: NEVER TURN ON IDU MODE

NOTE 2: Always stay on the lowest FW possible, if you are on 3.00-4.03 etc, don’t be tempted to update to 4.51 yet, stay as low as possible for now.

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”).

DONT WORRY it’s not “bricked”, just reinstall your current firmwares RECOVERY PUP in safe mode!

Not sure when if a full CFW would be release, since there is no hypervisor exploit at the moment, you can play offline for now if you don't want to update the firmware.
No when, but more like a question of if ever, since PS4 still doesnt have full CFW, and JB is fw dependant.
i bought GoW Ragnarok, but even offline need to be on a FW higher than 4.50

You can always look for another PS5 if you want, just that it probably be on higher firmware.

Nothing against this but really 2 gen ago. Why should I go ps5. oh 3 gen ago😉
If you mean because this is a PS2 exploit, it's not useful for PS4/5, then that is wrong. The PS2 exploit leads to an exploit with the emulator allowing userland code to be executed on the PS4/5. So you just need to be able to run arbitrary code in a PS2 game under this emulator to have userland code execution on the PS4/5. And Sony have said they will not patch this.

yeah, that's what I thought that was. I think the reason sony will not patch it is that it would require patching every single ps2 game, and there are a lot of ps2 purchases out there anyway. btw, do you know if you have to have bought a ps2 classic game to initiate the exploit?

You will need an exploitable game so yeah, purchasing one is required. But still a bit early to say exactly which ones can be used for this. Only Okage Shadow King is known to work right now.

yeah, I bought that game after hearing about this. will I be a part of the ps5 scene or won't I? :P
I know I likely won't be for a while. I usually prefer to wait for things to mature a bit before jumping in (Maybe 1 year). But I at least still plan on learning what I can so I can help any who need it.

I probably won't hack my system since I'm a psn+ user, and I've become interested in trophies, but that won't stop me from compiling things for others if it's necessary and I can. there's a limited sdk, I believe, for the ps5, but nothing substantial as of yet.
