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!

oh kernel, neat. I wonder if someone sit on a HV x3

 

[Lunatics]

I've been having quite a few crashes and weird occurrences on 3.21 but it's brand new so I'm expecting issues and instability, plus not using it as my main gaming device. I am just happy I can finally find some use for it and start getting it set up and have a few games to play on it if I want.

Obviously it is still very new so I am not expecting much but what are the chances of mods working on here? I would love to add THPSPro levels to my ps5 version of THPS. I know on the switch it seemed like PC mods for certain games could just be copied over fairly easily, I'm assuming that is not the case here.

etaHEN 1.3B just come out and I'm already working on 1.4B features, I guess thats what happen when the next college semester starts soon so I need to get as much as I can before then pic.twitter.com/IVqYdoTcf9

$12,500 is a very odd bounty. It's usually $10,000 for the flow.

 

[solitaire4eva]

It's almost random bro. sometimes it will just work and most it just wont and you end up resetting over and over again. Just imagine updating from 3.20 just to have to fight with the exploit. Btw this has nothing to do with etahen or itemzflow. this exploit has been out and like this for years, least with the ps4 once you do it you don't have to do it again. I'm sure in time the PS5 will get there.

LOL you know I updated from 3.20 in November when I saw you and Kiwi was holding out lol. I use the ESP file from Echo Sketch and I don't have any panic attacks. Only had one and that was about 2 weeks ago LOL. No issues at all. If the exploit don't go through I just close the browser and go to another area and just come back. The only time I got the panic attacks was when the PS4 FPKG first came out. Oh it was like every 3 out of 4 attempts

 

[NyaakoXD]

PS5 homebrew scene is still in its very early years. As long as there are enough developers that hold a strong interest in hacking the PS5, the exploits will eventually get better and stabler with higher chances of success.

Its possible that the PS5 will be successful for running homebrew (and uh... legitimate backups of that nature).

 

[ccfman2004]

I think the PS5 scene is just getting warmed up. Kind of glad I stopped playing when my PS5 was still on 4.50. Can't wait to see what's in store next.

This may sound pretty basic, but how are Echo bin files supposed to be used?

The ESP boards are more stable? Hmm maybe il use my lilygo more often because this here is makes me not want to test or dump anything.

ESP is very slow for me

Why, slow loading times or what is the problem?

PS: Bedrozen released King of Fighters and Returnal.
