PS5 Exploit Guide

PS5 Hack Status:


FW Ranges:
2.XX = HEN+Kstuff+HV = PS4/5 backups, possible keys exploit (WebKit: 2.50 best / 2.7X max)
3.XX = HEN+Kstuff+HV+Linux = PS4/5 backups, possible keys exploit (WK/BDJB/LUA: 3.20 best / 3.21 max)
4.XX = HEN+Kstuff+HV+Linux = PS4/5 backups (WK/Y2JB/BDJB/LUA: 4.50 best / 4.51 max)
5.XX = HEN+Kstuff+HV+Linux = PS4/5 backups (
WK/Y2JB/BDJB/LUA: 5.50 best + max)

6.XX = HEN+Kstuff = PS4/5 backups, HV+Linux for 6.02 max (Y2JB/BDJB/LUA: 6.50 best + max)
7.XX = HEN+Kstuff = PS4/5 backups, no HV (
Y2JB/BDJB/LUA: 7.61 best + max)
8.XX-10.01 = HEN+ Kstuff = PS4/5 backups, no HV (Y2JB/LUA)
10.20-12.00 = KEX + Kstuff = PS4/5 backups, no HV (
LUA)
12.02-12.70 = KEX (
P2JB/SWRR)
13.XX = No KEX/HEN/Kstuff/HV (LUA)

NOTE: Recommended firmware is subjective. Staying low is always suggested first & foremost. It is not recommended to update too many major versions (e.g., 4.xx to 5.xx or 7.xx to 8.xx) because you should remain low unless all you want is backups.

DO NOT UPDATE OVER 12.00!! P2JB can take over 3 hrs to trigger an exploit.

Preparing Your Console:


It is recommended to either self-host offline or block these addresses in your router to avoid accidental updates or getting an update nag. Using the DNS method is no longer failsafe, as these are not guaranteed to be running 24/7.

To determine your OFW version:
Go to settings > system > console information.

Version string info:
Year.Half (1st/2nd half of the year)-Major Version No.Minor Version No.Extended info-Further Info.Retail/Debug

21.02-04.03.00.00-00.00.00.0.1

It is recommended to keep your console as low as possible to have access to better jailbreak stability and features. Stay as low as possible within the "Golden" firmware brackets that apply to your current firmware.

Current Examples:

2.00 could be updated to 2.50 maximum to retain Webkit/BD-JB/LUA HV + KEX + HEN.
4.00 could be updated to 4.51 maximum for WebKit/BD-JB/LUA + KEX + HEN + potential HV exploits.
5.00 could be updated to 5.50 maximum for WebKit/BD-JB/LUA + KEX + HEN.
6.XX-7.XX could be updated to 7.61 maximum for HEN using only BD-JB or LUA.
Digital/Pro users on 6.XX-LATEST cannot use BDJB or LUA without an activated console. Wekbit does not go beyond 5.50 for now.
Digital/Pro users or Disc console users on 8.XX-LATEST should consider waiting or selling/swapping consoles to get a lower firmware.
(No jailbreak is ever guaranteed. No developer is obliged to release anything publicly)

WARNING:

Only update OFW manually via USB by getting the firmware file from HERE and installing from <USB>:/PS5/UPDATE/PS5UPDATE.PUP

  2. You will need a BD dive paired to your Slim/Pro console, or an OG Phat model on 1.00-7.61 to run this exploit.

    Viktorious AIO Auto BD-JB ISO for 4.XX-7.61: https://github.com/Viktorious-x/ps5-bdjb-modified-ISOs/releases
    (Alternative: UMTX Kernel exploit 7.61 JAR loader by Hammer83: https://github.com/hammer-83/ps5-jar-loader/releases)

    Burn ISO to a blank BD-R or BD-RE, put it into your console, and click on the [DISC PLAYER] icon.
    Highlight [PIPELINE RUNNER] then click option 2 [Normaljailbreak-etaHEN-UMTX1.pipe] to auto load etaHEN ready for ItemzFlow.
    Debug settings will be loaded, and the package installer can be found under [SETTINGS] > [DEBUG SETTINGS].
    ELF Loader will be running on your PS5 IP: port 9021


  3. Important:
    Up to 10.01 has a kernel exploit + HEN
    11.XX-12.70 has a kernel exploit but no HEN yet.
    LUA entry point works on the latest OFW, but there is no kernel or HEN yet.
    (A compatible PS4 game is required to launch the exploit on PS5. See below)

    Your PS5 console must be activated to use save copying for PS4 games.

    1. Insert your game disc and, as soon as possible, make a save file within it.
    2. Copy the save files to USB, go to [SETTINGS] > [STORAGE] > [CONSOLE STORAGE] > [SAVE DATA] > [PS4 GAMES] > select the game save and copy to a USB drive.
    3. On PC, using a Google Drive account, make a new folder with the GAME ID of your game, and upload the savedata & savedata.bin files to that folder.
    4. Share the folder, set it to editor mode, share with anyone, and click "copy the link".
    5. Join the HTOS Discord group: HERE type "/decrypt", select "FALSE" for including SCE_SYS, paste or type in the Google Drive link, and press enter. The bot should begin mounting your save. (If it doesn't, paste in the link again.)
    6. Click "ENCRYPTED" to remove the Sony PFS layer. Download the generated files and extract the folder to your desktop (you should have 4 files in there and be named dec_savedata_CUSA[GAME ID]).
    7. Using REMOTE LUA LOADER, open the savedata folder, copy the 20 files within into your encrypted save folder on your desktop.
    8. Upload the encrypted save folder (now with 24 files in) to your Google Drive. It should be named "dec_savedata_CUSA[GAME ID]" where GAME ID is your games 5 digit number, and set it to editor mode, share with anyone, and then click "copy the link".
    9. Go back to the HTOS discord server, and type "/encrypt", hit "FALSE" for uploading individually, and "FALSE" to include SCE_SYS. Finally, hit shared_gd_link and paste in your link to the original save (4 files) folder. (If it doesn't, paste in the link again.)
    10. When this is done, paste the link to the decrypted save (24 files) folder, and the bot will encrypt the files.
    11. Resign the files by typing "/resign" followed by your account name on the console, or PSN ID associated with that account if using the latest OFW.
    12. Download the resigned files, extract the files to your USB drive and overwrite them into the savedata folder on your USB or external drive.
    13. Copy the saves back to your console [SETTINGS] > [SAVE DATA AND GAME/APP SETTINGS] > [SAVE DATA PS4] > [COPY OR DELETE FROM USB] > [COPY TO CONSOLE STORAGE] > select your game save folder from the USB drive and copy/overwrite old save data.
    14. Load LUA game again, and you should see the LUA LOADER screen.
    15. You can use "SEND_LUA.PY" to send the UMTX files to the loader.
    (NOTE: Some games require manual loading of save game)

    On firmware up to 7.61, you can now load UMTX/2 followed by etaHEN by sending the files to your console IP on PORT 9026.
    On firmware 8.00-LATEST, you can connect with the REMOTE LUA LOADER APP to send debug notifications or FTP on port 1337.

  9. This method modifies the BD-J stack to allows BDJB to be re-enabled on your higher firmware console up to 12.40.

    This requires your console to be hacked via another method first to gain access to alter the files.
    (For example 12.00 needs SWRR disc to hack it first)

    https://github.com/Gezine/BD-UN-JB

    DO NOT REINSTALL FW, IT WILL WIPE THE PATCH AND LOSE BD-JB


Additional Information:


PS4 GAME INFORMATION:
OFW 1.xx cannot run PS4 games.
OFW 2.xx runs PS4 games up to 8.03

OFW 3.xx runs PS4 games up to 8.52
OFW 4.xx runs PS4 games up to 9.04
OFW 5.xx runs PS4 games up to 9.60
OFW 6.xx runs PS4 games up to 10.50

OFW 7.xx runs PS4 games up to 11.00
OFW 8.xx/9.xx runs PS4 games up to 11.50
OFW 10.xx runs PS4 games up to 12.00

OFW 11.xx runs PS4 games up to 12.50
OFW 12.xx runs PS4 games up to 13.00


(Note: PS4 backported FPKGs also work perfectly on an exploited PS5 with Kstuff)


You can install free/demo PKGS (legit pkgs) via the debug pkg installer, provided you have all the files/json/licences required.
(Astro’s Playroom has no licences and can be installed and played from official pkgs and updated inline with your firmware)

Warnings:


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 for hacks on that firmware.

3: PS5 FPKGs do not work. A hack for the A53 processor does not publicly exist to enable installing PS5 content as FPKG/PKG.

4: Installing legit game PKGs you do not own will never work, even if spoofed.

5: If you get stuck in a boot loop at the PS logo, the SNVS is corrupted (if the hash check fails on boot, this causes a “soft brick”). It’s not “bricked”. Simply reinstall your current firmware RECOVERY PUP in safe mode from USB: PS5 > UPDATE > PS5UPDATE.PUP.

Dump runner actually works incredibly well... no need to use itemzflow or etaHEN anymore... still in beta testing stages just fyi..

So much is happening in the scene... other devs have created a fork of websrv to make life easier for us simple folks

View attachment 549120
where to find that modified websrv-ps5.elf that uses both paths ?
 
I'm on 10.01 running y2jb with etahen 2.5b and itemzflow 1.14. I used the backup restore method about a week ago to jb for the first time. I put a few games on my external m.2 and scanned with itemzflow, everything was going good. Then, I decided to put more game on my drive and that's when I scanned and started experiencing problems with itemzflow. No games will launch and I get corrupted database, rebuilding every time I try to launch a game. I tried deleting the itemzflow folder on USB and reinstalling to earlier itemzflow 1.13. Same thing still happening. How do I fix it?

Edit: ok, I got games running again by deleting Ps5_Apps.db in the itemzflow folder. But how do I prevent that from happening again?
From personal experience, after auto scanning and adding your games in itemzflow, for the first time, it's better to than start adding your games manually, by selecting their folder.

I'm sure LM will improve the auto scan in future iterations, but for now it seems a bit buggy in subsequent scans. So, use it only once and you should be fine
 
Read in the comments for MW etahen 2.5b, that it will only load when you have the usb with the update
in the console. Thought it was because of a outdated etahen, at least for some users
But tried it and it works
 
if I update to 10.01 will my games icons stay there or disappear?

Can you try raidou remastered and pacman world 2 on your firmware? Pacman world 2 goes to black screen and raidou crashs my system when they ask me to insert my name

Edit: pac man world 2 worked after I turn off (pause and unpause kstaff) it needs kstaff on all the time

Edit 2: even raidou works now 👍

PS5 Dump Runner Installer​

Tired of manually uploading every update of dump_runner.elf and homebrew.js from EchoStretch to each of your game dumps located in internal, external M.2, and USB storages?

This tool automates everything for you! With just a few clicks, you can download the latest releases and deploy them to all your game dumps at once.

Why Use This Tool?​

  • Save Time - No more navigating through FTP folders manually for each game
  • Stay Updated - Download the latest releases directly from EchoStretch GitHub with one click
  • Batch Operations - Upload to 10, 20, or even 50 game dumps simultaneously
  • Never Miss a Game - Auto-scan finds all your dumps located in internal storage, external M.2, and USB drives
  • Track Progress - Visual progress bars show exactly what's happening
  • Safe & Reliable - Confirmation prompts before overwriting, detailed error reporting
  • Custom Files - Option to upload your own experimental dump_runner files
  • Remember Settings - Your connection settings and credentials are saved securely between sessions




Requirements​

  • Python 3.11 or higher
  • PS5 with FTP server running (e.g., via homebrew)
  • Network connection between PC and PS5

Installation​

Download the latest release from the Releases page and run PS5DumpRunnerInstaller-vX.X.X.exe.
 


The graphic in that post indicates that the Y2JB works on firmware 3.20. However, the GitHub for Y2JB says "At least 4.03 firmware."

Does anyone know why there is a disconnect?


I think the reason for the 4.03 limitation is/was? that the YT application needed to run requires firm 4.03
 
Have you tried deleting the folder of etahen on PS5 data folder, maybe using FTP? You may have leftover files.

Also, itemzflow 1.14 is working pretty well for me
I'm on 10.01 running y2jb with etahen 2.5b and itemzflow 1.14. I used the backup restore method about a week ago to jb for the first time. I put a few games on my external m.2 and scanned with itemzflow, everything was going good. Then, I decided to put more game on my drive and that's when I scanned and started experiencing problems with itemzflow. No games will launch and I get corrupted database, rebuilding every time I try to launch a game. I tried deleting the itemzflow folder on USB and reinstalling to earlier itemzflow 1.13. Same thing still happening. How do I fix it?

Edit: ok, I got games running again by deleting Ps5_Apps.db in the itemzflow folder. But how do I prevent that from happening again?
I was suddenly getting a similar issue as yourself... Started last night after i was testing dump runner....if you have used scan with itemzflow 1.14, it has created a folder in user/app, and you can see it by ftp or by settings/storage/internal. deleting itemzfow is not enough

Ensure item00001 folder is also deleted

even when i opened the package installer via debug settings, it showed me the error that the app was not available. but confirming this let me use the package installer.

for my problem with the database error in itemzflow, i deleted the app itemzflow, and the folders data/etaHEN and data/itemzflow.

i have installed itemzflow Version 1.13.
There are no database errors at the moment. And the games are running normal now. and the package installer works normal.
Also scaning for new games in itemzflow is working normal.

Only if i unplug the USB Stick with the games on it, and plug in it again, start itemzflow, then i get the message that the games can not remount again. after that i make a rescan of the games, and they are accessable again. weird.
 
Also, on 6.00 to 7.61, what's "pfs_re."?
Pfs_re is a kernel exploit still under research that targets the syscall for listing files in the PS file system. It affects PS4 firmware 12.52 and might also impact PS5 firmware 11.60 and possibly newer versions.
 
I think the reason for the 4.03 limitation is/was? that the YT application needed to run requires firm 4.03

That makes sense. The Y2JB currently uses V1.03 of the YT app, but the 1.02 version of the app will run as on lower firmware down to 2.00. So perhaps the Y2JB can be ported 1.02 as well.
 
Here's my "PS5" and my small stash 🥸

Finally made good use of that shitty stand too 🤣

Will dump runner improve internal compatibility?
Also, I see it requires some kind of web server. Does that mean I need to set up a network connection, because I'm trying to just keep my ps5 completely offline. Sorry if these are noob questions

Dump runner actually works incredibly well... no need to use itemzflow or etaHEN anymore... still in beta testing stages just fyi..

So much is happening in the scene... other devs have created a fork of websrv to make life easier for us simple folks

Does Games load faster from external?. i.e. Astrobot ?
Or we have the same loading times?
