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.

Hypervisor (HV):
Highest known HV exploit: 6.02
Highest theoretical HV exploit: 7.XX
Highest implemented HV exploit: 1.00-4.51 (Cragson PS5Hen) / 3.00-6.02 (TheFlow)
*unreleased/unimplemented

Kernel (KEX):

Mast1C0re: 1.00-7.61 (PS2 backups)
LuaC0re: 10.20-12.02 (Star Wars RR: + Poopsploit up to 12.00)

NOTE: A userland entry exploit (UL) chained to kernel exploit (KEX) is required at a bare minimum to exploit your console.

NOTE 2: Since 12.60/13.00 Sony has removed the YouTube and Netflix apps and has added 30 day expirations to downloaded software used for LuaC0re/Mast1C0re/RenPy etc.

Digital consoles will now need a new webkit userland to hack their consoles as of 19/04/2026)

Spoiler: System Update Information

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

   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.

   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)

   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.

[_SCEvil]

Does a backpork need to be on the exact firmware main version as your console to work? Or does it work like the older backports, where say I can use a 4.xx or 5.xx backpork on my 6.xx system?

So far, the ones I've tried from 5.XX works on 6.XX, none of the 4.XX ones have worked for me....

IguanoPT:

You may need to clean your etahen folder. This happens when updating etahen, I've had new functions not even appearing.

It may be caused by leftover files.

Bobafett_UK:

@_SCEvil The etaHEN popups have been appearing in the new version since 2.4b. But as @iguanoPT said it is best to clean the etaHEN folder. You can ofcourse delete it completely and then load the etaHEN elf from USB and it will then recreate the folders for you. I've done that previously just so you know...

I'll try it and let you know, tx !!

Regards.

Has anyone tried the UFS file system with any of their games yet?

I havent successfully got one game to load or even be recognized by shadowmount

I can get a Lua game cheaply; is it even worth buying anymore? Possibly for later exploits.

 

[Jayinem]

I knew it! You're a Trekkie!!!

Yeah when you turn 18 they make you choose one or the other. I refused to pick either one, so I went to jail.

It really depends who you talking to regarding if its really installing or not. Strange it is not the same fpkg installation as one would do on PS4. On PS5 its more like a dump of the game that is copied directly to a USB/NVME/Internal Drive and then ran that way......

P.S. that dude sound shady AF

The ffpkg method is like mounting a virtual disc drive like magic disc does for pc and then it mounts the backup as one single "drive" like file that contains all the other files. I tried to turn one of those backups into a pkg with the publishing tools that were leaked and it will install after jailbreak but it won't start. I think it might be forcing the sdk required to the current version so I'll look into that when I get some time, although I'm pretty sure the devs have already tried such basic ideas, unless they suffer from Einstein syndrome and basic ideas escape them.

I was lucky I got my pro for $475. I was trying to get it for $450 but got it down from $550 so I was happy. Could be my eyesight but I don't really notice any difference from being on that and my regular Phat PS5. I do got more space though lol

Everything today is a scam, having said that, PS5 Pro is a SCAM with all CAPS.

However, getting it for that price is pretty nice.

you should of seen the look on my face when wukong ran off a regular external 2.5 laptop non-sdd drive. It was crazy cause I started the game by mistake and always had in my head that PS5 games needs a NVME or external non-mechanical drive to run PS5 games from.

Because that's what we were told. I have a massive PC collection of around 15 TB and they're all using regular HDDs, and they play fine. I mean sure a few of them take maybe 30 seconds to a minute to boot but really who cares. There's no way I could afford the same collection with SSD. And even some of the games on PC that say SSD required still work. I have ran into a few that simple will not boot and that's fine, but SSD is a massive ripoff always has been and probably always will be because they don't seem to want to lower the prices like they did regular HDD.

PS5 Pro is one of the most big smoke selling ever saw in the videogames side to microshit last 10 years, and nintendo is better to don't mention the PURE SCAM...
PS4 Pro was very very different in comparison.

Nintendo Sony and M$ all suck today. But it's not just limited to video games. Every corporation pretty much sucks, I try to support local businesses over corporations as much as possible. They want only corporations to run everything, McDonalds instead of a nice local restaurant, Wal-mart instead of local supermarket etc.... But I digress.

The price of SSD is crazy. I swear the prices looked at one point like they were going down and then out of no where boom wtf happen. I had to tell one friend don't send me no more links to no games cause I can't afford no more space loll.

If you want a massive collection it's gotta be PC. There's just so many cool things on PC like exclusive emulators that don't work anywhere else so many arcade games you can't play anywhere else, even homebrew games that are cool. And now Sony puts mostly all of their exclusives on PC anyway. And I used to be a console only gamer but PC just blew me away mostly because of stuff that is done for free by devs who make them like emulators. You can play like 98% of every game ever made on PC except for a few console only exclusives (example Astro Bot) that aren't emulated to this day but may be one day.

Even though yes I'm a bit of a hypocrite as Microsoft is one big ass evil corporation and I have a PC, but it's hard to avoid everything and I only pirate lol.
