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

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

   (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.

Well as far as it stands, the lower firmwares you go the less backups you can load. More security features means less user access. I've heard someone was working on backports but that was also limited and those fpkgs might be installable but they might not run on lower firmwares.

thank you for the response — it’s why I’m kinda okay at 8.00, since most games should work. I care most about exclusives.

Post automatically merged: Jul 2, 2025

Console backups are still hit or miss with certain games, but they should get sorted eventually. As for your PS5 Slim on 8.00, I think it’s kind of a gamble right now. The BD pairing might not always survive a restore. Selling the Slim and grabbing a Fat could be the safer move. Also, umtx (<=7.61) is more stable than lapse right now.

Backups don't include game or demo licenses. You'd need to have downloaded the demos yourself on your console when it was on jailbreakable firmware (up to 10.01), before October 2024. But, even with the demos downloaded, if you ever need to reset the console, you would lose access to them. So a disc might be a safer bet as lua saves on console backups are only useful when you have one.

Can you tell me more about the bd pairing not surviving the backup restore.

Are there cases of this happening?

Last I heard it was 100% proven that factory paired BD on Slim 8.00+ were retaining pairing upon backup restore.

Has this changed in the last 2 weeks?

Also, I’m still struggling to make sure if I buy a game at exorbitant prices for LUA that it’ll be the right game.

I found MasterPS0 GitHub (can’t post links yet…) that seems to give more detail on what’s required for the backup restore.
Such as Nora requiring the save file name to be changed after restoring… and I don’t understand the notes

Play Asia is out of stock and “trying to find more” despite me ordering 2+ weeks ago.

 

[madbrainx]

As far as I know, there’s no clear way to tell a factory-paired Slim from a user-paired one. You’d have to be the one who opened it to know for sure. Even then, I’m not 100% certain all factory-paired Slims behave the same or went through the exact same process. There's also a recent report that BD pairing survives a console backup restore even on a user-paired PS5. Overall, more testing is probably needed before making any solid assumptions. As to RLL, a new loader came out last month that no longer requires changes to Nora saves and now autoloads all games.

BD pairing survives restoring a backup from a different console but not a factory reset or a fw reinstall from safe mode. tested on my pro. pros don’t come with disk drives so this should apply to digital slims as well.

 

[madbrainx]

Yeah, it might be safe, but there hasn’t been much testing, and maybe some console backups aren’t guaranteed. With sealed PS5 Fats still out there, it’s probably smart to grab one while you can.

Quick summary:
Will unpair the BD drive on user-paired systems (unclear for factory-paired Slims):
– Factory reset
– Powering on with the BD drive detached

Doesn’t seem to unpair the drive (user- or factory-paired):
– Restoring a backup
– Removing/replacing the CMOS battery

Doesn’t seem to unpair the drive (user- or factory-paired):
– Restoring a backup
– Removing/replacing the CMOS battery

Thank you for all of this-

Mine is factory paired, since I opened it new on 8.00. Disk edition.

Still considering the options. I hadn’t heard about a factory reset causing an unpairing.

Is there a reported case of a factory reset on a factory paired disk edition causing an unpair?

For your previous commend about RLL — is there a good resource to see these changes/updates so I can be certain to grab the right thing among the available options?

Thank you!

BD pairing survives restoring a backup from a different console but not a factory reset or a fw reinstall from safe mode. tested on my pro. pros don’t come with disk drives so this should apply to digital slims as well.

Thank you! I’d imagine a factory reset on a device that doesn’t come with a BD by default would need a repair. This makes sense.

I wonder if there are reports of factory paired slims also reverting back to unpaired upon reset.

A PS5 emulator. I doubt it does anything yet.

You can check the latest updates on the official repo: https://github.com/shahrilnet/remote_lua_loader. A new loader was added last month, and they're still testing before listing all new supported games. Other than Furu Kiss (untested and likely not Artemis), the PS4 games at the bottom of this page should work or get support soon: https://imel.co.jp/activity/

from what i’ve seen, slims that come factory paired will survive a factory reset, but i wouldn’t go running to test it lol only if u need to

Well, only a handful of ps4 games that are currently useable on shadps4 but working titles like Bloodborne and Driver Club are very promising.
ShadPS6 might be essential if Sony goes digital only. Would be happy to ditch consoles at that point and buy a graphics card. If i can't buy physical media, count me out!

I have that link saved (and saved again!) - thank you

Specifically, I’m looking for ones that are/will be supported by master S9’s backups.

I understand there may be a difference between what is supported by LUA in general (the links you sent) and what games are/will be available as a premade save in a backup file.

 

[worm28]

The lua loader works with 15 different games but master S9s backups work with like 21 different games i wonder what games there are that work?

This is what I’m looking for.. I can’t seem to find this — correlation between LUA and Master S9

Latest Master_s9 Backup v.21.0
Now displays IP Address when loading LUA.
21 Lua games supported.

I do wish they would include some changelog or more details in their posts. 21 games will be a combination of officially and community supported games. I think only 16 games are shown working on their GitHub.

 

[Rasa39]

Looking at the link, these are the games that are supported, or at least the ones they provide saves for. Which I assume are bundle into the backup if you need to go that route.

I created one for ps4 to install it on my 12.00 from 9.00
Could make one on PS5 and PS4 only with this game to keep it as small as possible. I am sure it will be added soon to some new all in one backup, if not already available.

 

[TheBeardedGamer]

Aside from etahen and Itemzflow updates, not much happening with PS5 scene. PS4 getting all the attention at the moment. kStuff nearly done for ps5 8.00fw so at least that's something to look forward to...

That’s great, I just received my Lua game.

 

[solitaire4eva]

CUSA19370 is the save im looking for too! Aikano Yukizora no Triangle
The one im looking for to. Ahhhh the bot has too many users right now :{

Thank you so, so much!

Is it save to presume these will work with LUA, even if not official yet, given the save is included?
