nice 6.50, new golden better than 7.61 ?

I forgot what Kldload is for? To make DLC packs and patch packs work on PS5 without special modification?

Emris93 · Jun 12, 2025

@KiiWii I think maybe you need to update userland exploit to add 1core exploit something like that ?

Imo 6.50 is better, because we do not need any of thr LUA games.
Just a BD Burner and done.

Copy contents (only files) into the USB save folder

6. Re-import Save to PS4
Plug the USB drive on the PS4
Apollo Tool → USB Saves → Copy save back to HDD

7. Test Loader
Run your Artemis Game → It should auto-load the Lua loader

8. Copy Save to USB (Encrypted)
Use PS4 menu → Settings → Save Data Management → Copy to USB

Part 2: Copy Save to Jailbroken PS5 (Xplorer)
(if user account is not activated on your PS5 follow this tutorial first)

What do we do if we are not signed into our psn account on our ps5s you have to be signed in to copy saves from usb.

FSlolhehe · Jun 12, 2025

@KiiWii Sorry in case this isn't the right place since I just joined. I have a PS5 on version 11.20. I have blocked all of the addresses you described on the router the PS5 uses. How long do I wait until an exploit comes out for version 11.20?

Update:

Digital/Pro users or Disc console users on 8.XX-LATEST should consider waiting or selling/swapping consoles to get a lower firmware.

Yes I will definitely wait, however I don't know for how long and I'm not that experienced in the homebrewing scene, hence I made this comment

You can use offact on the ps5 to offline activate the account

There are three main methods to transfer game saves to a PS5. This is required to jailbreak with Lua.

1. Jailbroken PS5: requires an already jailbroken PS5 with WebKit, BD-J or one of the two methods listed below. It's most useful if:

You want an alternative to Webkit or BD-J,
You want to add saves to a new user account, or
You want to update existing game saves.

2. Activated PSN account: To use this method, you must be able to import an encrypted game save (step 8) directly from the PS5’s settings menu. This requires a PSN-activated user account, which can only be activated on the latest firmware. Since firmware 10.20 was released on October 18, 2024, jailbreak is only possible if the account was activated before that date. This is the only method available to jailbreak non-FAT consoles on 8.00-10.01 that are susceptible to losing Blu-ray drive pairing.

3. Console backup restore
(Warning: This method erases all user data on the console and might unpair the Blu-ray drive on some non-FAT models)
This method requires a functional Blu-ray drive in order to jailbreak with current kernel exploits. It's also the only method available to jailbreak any PS5 on 8.00-10.01 lacking either an activated PSN account or a playable Lua-compatible game. It can be performed on these consoles while still keeping access to the Blu-ray drive:

FAT consoles on firmware 2.00-10.01 with a Blu-ray drive, or
Some Slim consoles on firmware 8.00-10.01 with a factory-paired Blu-ray drive. These consoles have been reported to work with this method, but more research is needed to safely identify which ones meet this requirement, as some non-Fat consoles have been reported to lose bd pairing after factory resets or drive removals.

Additional Notes:

Lua saves can be transferred with methods 2 or 3 to PS5s on 10.20+, but jailbreaking will only be possible once a compatible kernel exploit is released.
Master_s9's console backups require fw 5.10+.
Regardless of the transfer method, to jailbreak a PS5 with Lua it must have a playable Lua-compatible game (disc or digital) installed.
Disc games can be installed on any compatible firmware, as the license is stored on the disc itself. But Lua-compatible digital games can only be installed on the latest firmware.
A PS5 on 2.00+ firmware is required to play PS4 games.
Some PS4 games released after 2020 may require a higher firmware to run, even if other requirements are met.

__________________________________________
Userland exploit compatibility by firmware

up to 5.50: WebKit BD-J Lua
6.00- 7.61: WebKit BD-J Lua
8.00-10.01: WebKit BD-J Lua

BD-J requires a working Blu-ray drive and a custom Blu-ray disc

= Currently unsupported.

Awaiting userland exploit
The following models currently require a new userland exploit (e.g., a WebKit entrypoint) to chain with UMTX (≤ 7.61) or Lapse (≤ 10.01) kernel exploits:

FAT digital consoles on 6.00-10.01 lacking either an activated PSN account or a playable Lua-compatible game,
Slim consoles originally shipped with firmware ≤ 7.61 (updated or not to firmware 8.00-10.01) lacking either an activated PSN account or a playable Lua-compatible game, and
Pro consoles on firmware ≤ 10.01.

Awaiting kernel exploit
Any console on firmware 10.20 or above can’t be jailbroken yet, as no public kernel exploits are available. However, it’s still possible to run sandboxed Lua scripts, provided you have a Lua-compatible game and the corresponding modified save file installed.
__________________________________________
Firmware compatibility by exploit

Userland:

WebKit: ≤ 5.50
BD-J: ≤ 7.61
Lua: ≤ 11.40

Kernel:

IPV6: ≤ 4.51
UMTX: ≤ 7.61
Lapse: ≤ 10.01

It's hard to tell, to be honest. It will definitely take a while, definitely months? No one can say for sure but the good thing is that the scene has made some real progress lately so we might see some more useful things getting released.

Personally, I'd suggest trading your 11.20 console for the one that can be exploited if you can't wait. Check this guide for some general info on which model to go for.
Otherwise, you can block any future updates and, hopefully, you've downloaded some of those exploitable demos before you blocked the Sony servers? If not, you might need to look for some of those Lua exploitable games. Sadly, prices are pretty high right now.

You could be waiting a long time, to be fair 8.XX is getting some love soon, so you never know, but I would not hold my breath.

Sell it and find a hackable under 7.61.

Just use master_s9 backup. Like one of those ready made microwave dinners. He's even integrated itsPLK into the latest releases.
You might regret selling Lua game as there is no BD-jb beyond 7.61...
