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!

Actually PS5 firmware does mater with some PS4 games as well. Some PS4 games require stuff that is not present in earlier firmwares and won't work without patching that stuff out, if it's nothing too critical and not always possible. You can't always just spoof the firmware.

Stray requires at least PS4 9.00, from what I can find, which is equivalent to PS5 4.03. That could be the issue. Don't quote me on that.

stray also works on lower FW I feel. but I know what you mean, I've read about games that can't be backported but there are few of them.

there is also the opposite situation, there are things that are only on ps4 5.05 and do not work on higher FW (for example, the kernel clock from lapy or something like that or some game)

 

[ccfman2004]

Same happened to me the over day. I only answered to a wonder/question/problem someone had. I dont see how I went against any rules. I actually read them.

I've had this happen a few times on YouTube when answering someone's question towards me in a comment. YouTube says I violated the community posting guidelines but won't tell what in my comments violates them. So they ban me for a day from posting comments. I can't stop accidentally violating them if they don't tell me what exactly in my comments violates them.

Usually it's because it used something in the firmware that no longer exists or uses different offsets that haven't been found. It mostly always happens to home-brew and not retail games.

Heh, yeah. And I cant really send a message to an admin to ask whats up without being able to browse the site. The contact form did not work either. Was just trying to help out, but I guess I better not and just be silent instead.

Sorry to bug here kinda off topic but I know several guys here are also on psxhax. So it's my chance I think l.

Today I wrote some feedback about the horizon forbidden west dump and afterwards I lost all my write permissions on any topics. Now I can't get in touch with anyone on psxhax to help me with my acc.

My post was fine, it helped the topic so I don't know what happened or what I did wrong in anyones opinion.

I wrote that I fake signed the files but the game won't start. So fine feedback I think and lots of people even don't know how to fake sign so I helped there.....



So if anyone would be so kind to ask a moderator of psxhax to look what's wrong with me? Sashka is my nickname on psxhax. Thank you very much.

I think you lucked out when you didn't get banned...

Something is definitely up with my account over there, can you take a look for me as well please? I can browse the homepage but as soon as I log in its completely blank. I'll be Aftershock or Aftershocker over therte as well. I may have posted on the same thread as sashka69 as I was verified and had access to the PKG areas.

​

As soon as you log in, all is blank except for the login at the top right corner, right? Yeah, I'm 100% sure, that's a ban.

https://github.com/rajeshca911/Save-Transfer-Wizard

Save Transfer Wizard" is a versatile tool designed to streamline the process of transferring game saves between a PlayStation 5 console and a Windows PC. With its user-friendly interface and powerful features, it enables users to effortlessly copy, upload, and delete their game saves via FTP (File Transfer Protocol).

This tool caters to a specific audience, particularly those who face challenges with their jailbroken PlayStation 5 lacking console activation, which can impede the seamless transfer of game saves. With the surge in popularity of PS4 FPKGs, Save Transfer Wizard bridges the gap, providing an effective solution for individuals looking to manage their game saves until more comprehensive methods like PSN patch or offline console activation become available.

Features

Simple FTP tool
Can Transfer Saves Back & Forth
Browse & Upload Saves
Windows platform

 

[Lunatics]

So this tool would just allow you to essentially backup your saves and transfer them to somewhere else? It wouldn't allow you to say convert my THPS PC save to be compatible for PS5 and let me transfer it over?

You need to be using the same account ID to tranfer save files. There is an offline activator for PS5's available. Modded Warfair has a video on how to transfer save files from ps4 to ps5

Forget about contacting admins, they will never answer, and for all you folks reporting this issue, yes, it IS a ban, for whatever reason, only solution IS to create a New account.

Had this issue last year, not knowing why, and has private ms on discord with an admin I know, told me , even me , I can't have access to bans reasons. So

So as @linuxares wrote, stop polluting the thread and be "adults"

Not happy with not being able to access FPKG ? That's not thé purpose of GBATemp

 

[NyaakoXD]

DeathRGH has recently acquired a 4.03 console and has made some progress already!

Now when's 2.XX?

 

[KiiWii]

Now when's 2.XX?

IPV6 exploit only exists after 2.xx (so 3.xx-4.xx) so another kernel exploit would be needed.
