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 full exploit chain. A hypervisor exploit was rumoured to be held in private that only works on <3.00 firmware, and recently Flatz confirmed he has developed his own 2.50 HV exploit (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.

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.

If you are on 1.XX-2.XX do not update at all, it may take years but HV exploit exists in private for this firmware range.
If you are on 3.XX-4.02: the advice is to update to 4.03, but don’t be tempted to update to 4.51 yet.

3: PS5 FPKGs won’t work as HEN and HV/kernel patches do not publicly exist for PS5 content yet.

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!

As an update to Znulls previous statement:

A pure homebrew method is coming, it will function on 4.5X firmware, it will not enable piracy but MAY have a kernel exploit chained.

Wasn't there an nes emulator or something as an elf?

 

[KiiWii]

There were a couple of elf’s going around at the beginning of PS4 dev, do you mean those?

I think one was 2048, maybe tetris IIRC…

I wonder if this new method will allow existing PS4 & native PS5 brew to function, or whether it’s exclusively for PS5 brew.

this is what I was thinking of:

 

[Newhouse-Estates]

this is what I was thinking of:

Yeah thats bluplay. Uses Java IIRC.
Made a doom disk myseelf to try it out.

Isn't that how the exploits work?

 

[IloveMinecraft]

Sorry guys, why Mast1core can’t work on the last fw for Ps5?

 

[Newhouse-Estates]

Your thinking of the BD-J, however the kernel exploit and userland themselves have nothing to do with that. However it can be triggered using a burned blu-ray disk to activate debug menu ect, but this can be done using your own private or a public web server (es7in1.site)

 

[godreborn]

it can, but I don't think it's been ported. it's unpatchable.

I wouldn't too much hope into Mast1core, that being said if you updated your PS5 past 4.xx than your out of luck. You can't have both. Either you update and enjoy online or you don't update and wait for homebrew.

By out of luck I mean Znullptr is finishing up his way to run native homebrew on PS5 on the lower FW versions.

you don't run the exploit anymore by using a burned bd?

 

[Newhouse-Estates]

You can if you wish, however I personally had more luck and less crashes just doing it through the web browser.
Check out this website.

You just use your PS5 web browser and head over there.

 

[godreborn]

bad about the crashes, if you mean a kp, because now a kp is supposed to wipe all fpkg files, so I'd only install one at a time.

 

[IloveMinecraft]

it can, but I don't think it's been ported. it's unpatchable.

Thank, i would to have Mast1core, i hope. I don’t want homebrew, Mast1core doesn’t mind for me

Thanks, i can’t stay without online because i love download games and sometimes go online. But i would to have Mast1core, it’s still something

Sorry, i’m going out the topic maybe, is there a way to download games, maybe all (plus) if not all, at least those that you have in library, without update the Play? Thanks

doesn't seem to be mandatory as of yet, because I was able to download and install the pixel perfect collection without having to update, but I did anyway since I'm on psn+.
