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!

Will an ESP32 work, or must it be an ESP32-S2?

 

[KiiWii]

2.xx could be best for ps5 back ups, but 2.xx is a low firmware, so think how many games came out with low requirements.

2.xx also will be equivalent to <9.04 when it comes to PS4 compatibility.

So is 2.xx good ? I am not sure I understand your quote about "it could be limited anyway" ? It concern me I think if I dont update to 4.50 ? I really want to play PS4 FpKG enabler and sell PS4 console for my lacking of space in my room

 

[KiiWii]

@EchoStretch ?

 

[EchoStretch]

@EchoStretch ?

not with esp32s2 9.00 bin file because it doesn't support auto usb. you would have to create a bin with the 8266 host files.

Hi! Is 3.00 offsets needed, and how could I help out? Im not on twitter and discord btw.

It seems that no one else is working on porting (sleirsgoevy released it for 4.03 (because he has 4.03). We received version 4.50 only because Cheburek has his own 4.50 (and released it first of all for himself). (those who can, they simply don’t need it) - so 3.x will remain without kstuff

That's not necessarily true, it was possible in the past but I don't know if the person had a testkit or asked the community to test it... anyway be patient my friend, it's all small things for now and hopefully something bigger will come

imagine that in the future CFW for 2.xx ... something like PS3. But I know it's probably impossible dream

Not sure this is the right thread to debug this but… I tried that on 4.50. I manage to load the kernel exploit up to "Launching ELF loader (port: 9020) \n Stage 6 - ELF loader". Then (without exiting that screen from my PS5), I launch NetCat GUI 1.2 on my PC and try to inject the FPKG enabler bin file but the window gets unresponsive after a few seconds. I waited up to 30mn without success so I guess there’s an issue somewhere. Does that sound familiar?

PS: I also tried with ncat 192.168.0.64 < payload.bin and via PS4 Tool Box (console tools > payload injector) but both throw "an existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host"

What I meant is that I could atleast test stuff or run the script to find offsets if its needed and can help someone more knowledgeable to port it, even without access to a 3.00. I'm not really a programmer so might not work out everyhting on my own. Not willing to upgrade at the moment either.

If you want to enable RDR for prospero usage you can patch it yourself and see if that enables the 60 fps on PS5. 0x152EC50 (on elf) / 0x1537D10 (on fself) - 31 c0 c3 -> FF 25 62

Illusion0001 has shared info to Cyber that potentially allows Prospero (ps5) mode features and clocking in backports.

Illusion0001 has shared info to Cyber that potentially allows Prospero (ps5) mode features and clocking in backports.

I did that last week. it works but framerate is all over the place. not a very smooth experience. I expected more from a game from 2010.

EDIT: also, unlocking framerate + intro skip seems to have fixed my audio issues with red dead 2. don´t know why.

Ok sooo, any other DNS servers that would redirect from User Guide to "any" website?
