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):
Highest public Release: 12.70
Highest known: 12.70 (P2JB)
UMTX2: 1.00-7.61
Lapse: 1.00-10.01
Poopsploit: 4.XX-12.00

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

   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.

   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)

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.

He talked about being made redundant while looking after family. Good news is they will now continue developing for the scene thanks to donations and recouping other monies. Because there are so few developers working on ps5 scene, if one person leaves or retires then it has big consequences. So I'm glad Zeco is doing a bit better now

I can understand his position. I'm also unemployed. it's been a hard time for me personally, so I can empathize. he does need to spend more time on himself. the scene will still be there later.

I wish I understood more of how these people find exploits in hardware so I could add anything I would find. But alas, this is far beyond what I understand. If I had extra funds, I'd throw some their way as these guys absolutely rock. I wish more people would be nice to these extraordinarily talented folks rather than be WEN, WEN, WEN. We've lost too many good people due to that mentality.

thanks. I wasn't sure if anyone agreed with me. I agree that a lot of people don't truly appreciate how much time these people invest to find exploits, develop homebrew, dump games, etc. with each new generation, it seems there are fewer and fewer people who care. not only is it harder to hack these systems, but more people expect you to deliver in a timely fashion, which is sad. I'm legit myself. I don't care if people pirate though. I just don't want the latest hacked, especially after what happened with the ps3. that was a disaster, because sony was totally unprepared. I also don't want pirates to have the same amenities a legit person would have while also not buying games, for those who only pirate. that's always been concern of mine. I simply don't think it's fair, and I think if I were pirating, I'd feel the same way. legit users don't deserve it. they've done nothing wrong.

I haven't seen "legit" users being treated any different from others. What do you mean?

 

[C_2_T]

I haven't seen "legit" users being treated any different from others. What do you mean?

I mean I don't think pirates should be able to use cloud or sync trophies or whatever. do you know what happened after the ps3 was hacked on the latest firmware? cheaters, people causing legit users to be banned by hacking their accounts, adding money to wallets, etc. that's completely unfair. like I and the other person were talking, a lot of people who pirate don't even donate to devs who make this possible to begin with. it's not like they're breaking the bank either, just $5. I just got a smart tv THIS YEAR, when a lot of these people have the means to donate but don't. I've donated over $100, and I barely get $600/month for all expenses, so there's no excuse for not giving a shit. those sorts of people don't deserve free games. they offer nothing in return. that is a fact.

I just got a smart tv THIS YEAR, when a lot of these people have the means to donate but don't. I've donated over $100, and I barely get $600/month for all expenses, so there's no excuse for not giving a shit. those sorts of people don't deserve free games. they offer nothing in return. that is a fact.

Nobody on exploitable firmware can connect to PSN at least nothing that's public to let us do so. For the PS3, Sony was heavy handed with ban hammers to people who connected to PSN with a PS3 in jailbreak mode.

But with the PS4 and PS5, exploits are reported to Sony and patched before said exploit has the chance of being made public so unless Sony royally screws something up with firmware checks and accidentally makes it possible for people to connect to PSN while on an exploitable firmware, I don't we have to worry about cheaters online.

You aren't able to use cloud or sync trophies or whatever on the PS4 or PS5 because there's no custom firmware like on the PS3. So, perhaps it was unfair back at that specific era, but not currently as far as I know.

Hello, i just want to let you know that i will return my PS5 Pro next week because for me personally it is not worth it. The FW is 9.05 and if somebody can not find one on 9.05 but wants to have a PS5 Pro on the lowest FW possible, you can contact me. I am from Austria and would give it away for the same price i paid for it (+shipping if needed). I am struggling a bit to send it back knowing that it will be updated to 10.20 or higher .

At one point I saw some eBay being listings for £600. I agree with you but I'd say the Pro is not worth it at the moment. Maybe in 3-6 months. Sony and third parties urgently need to clarify what's games are getting pro patches because there is a lot of confusion on this subject. Some games got patches but then didn't use PSSR. Others like Allan wake 2 and Star wars Survivor have artefacts or frame rate issues.
The Ps5 Pro has potential but it was rushed to market and it annoying that older games require individual patches rather than naturally improving like a pc game does when you simply upgrade it's ram or GPU.

I'm sure it's more about consumers rejecting the absurd £700 launch price.

Right, but when the PS6 comes out. How many people will buy it, when it could drop considerably in price in a week?

Deflation is the worst thing you can ever do.

Can you explain why this is interesting for this thread ? Is there some reference to kernel crashes or something?

With FOMO as high as it is and the helping hand of scalpers... I don't think people will remember anything, sadly

Most of the recent talk so far has been about the PS5 Pro. And this relates to the PS5 Pro.

People will remember, this has destroyed their chance of a successful console launch

It’s interesting to note issues with a console that may be jailbreakable one day.

I have the Pro and have found a few issues here and there in some games, which is going to happen but overall the compatibility is great and the upscaling is incredible.

If ps5 pro was jailbroken at launch, pretty sure that scene developers would flicked a couple of switches, changed a line of code and most of these problems would have been fixed by now

 

[ccfman2004]

Sometimes I think Sony is purposely either adding some of those game bugs in or not fixing them before launch just to see if any hackers jailbreak it right after launch so they can fix that silently while also stating they are fixing those game issues to get people to update. That could just be my internal conspiracy theory generator acting up.

It’s the iPhone paradox.

They “slow down” old devices to make you buy a new one. Or they just add more and more new things older specs can’t handle easily… *tinfoil hat*

The Pro would normally be a target, the ps4 pro had exploits held back for it iirc, but nowadays exploits are payable, so timing of a console is not considered, first to claim the bounty is more lucrative.

In the case of the Pro I think Sony has teething issues.

Just like they had teething issues on the original PS5 where PS4 games had issues. I wonder if any PS4 games are having issues on the PS5 Pro?
