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

   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)

   DO NOT REINSTALL FW, IT WILL WIPE THE PATCH AND LOSE BD-JB
   

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.

Are there any exploits yet for a ps5 pro with a bluray drive but no activated PSN account?

If you are asking whether you can attach a blu ray drive to a console and activate the drive via an exploit then at this moment in time there is no such exploit avaialble in the public domain...

Post automatically merged: Mar 21, 2026

EDIT:

If anyone who has the SWRR disc want to test some unofficial payloads (the usual elfs) then download the zip from the PS5 R&D group on discord..

Can you system backup it and then restore it to other systems with patched blu ray drive?

It worked with y2jb lol

Can someone with 20 ps5 test it for us

 

[Wolf85]

Lower to higher. First I thought restoring a backup of the low fw console on the high fw console would do the trick, but then I found out it didn't restore the saves. Those can only be restored on the console that created the backup, because the account that has the saves is a local one. I thought I might still be able to get the saves over without losing the lower fw on my older console using the data transfer, but so far I've hit a roadblock.

I'm not too familiar with the data transfer. I haven't tried to do anything with my ps5 save data yet but now that I think about it, I might just try and see if can't download all my saves from the ps5 on 12.70 with the star wars digital game. I need to test some things before the 4.xx hypervisor exploit reaches end user.

I belive someone already mentioned that the restore doesn't touch the system files but the recovery does. So if you have to reinstall the firmware you'd have to redo the unpatch. Backups won't unpatch.

unfortunately I don’t have many ps5 to try it and I can’t backup my hacked ps5 because of the dam astro bot 2024 that weighs 145gb

Post automatically merged: Mar 21, 2026

My hacked ps5 is on firmware 9.20 so I must restore system backup with same firmware 9.20 + unpatched applied so that I am not installing new firmware that erase the unpatch

hopefully the real bdjb for 12.00 will come soon (no need for the game) ... Or new kex

 

[TheStonedModder]

hopefully the real bdjb for 12.00 will come soon (no need for the game) ... Or new kex

Someone can unpatch the bdjb exploit for you with Star Wars so you only need the $5 bdjb disc from eBay or whoever you get it from

I plan to make a thread for US folks once my copy comes in the mail

That will give you your “real” bdjb

Any firmware 10.02+ that don't have Star Wars Revenge Racer installed or don't have the physical disc is useless for jailbreak purposes at this time. You have 3 options cause you between the range of Star Wars Revenge Racer exploit supported firmware up to 12.00.

Option 1: Buy Star Wars Revenge Racer Disc.
Option 2: Borrow Star Wars Revenge Racer Disc and setup disc drive for BDJB exploit (then you wait for full exploit).
Option 3: You wait until an alternative full exploit comes out for your system.

There is currently nothing Else.

I have a similar question: I have a PS5 on firmware 8.60 with an activated account and a copy of Arcade Spirits: The New Challengers on disc. As of now, is there anything I can do, such as jailbreaking or running PS5 backups?

Dude are you kidding us? You're on 8.60!!! You can jailbreak easy! It's all online on how to do that!

Y2JB! Look at the videos by Modded!

I thought my only option was to buy an expensive Lua game. Is it possible for you to paste here video link where I can find everything I need?

God no, you don't need any expensive Lua game anymore.... just look at Modded Warefare's channel and do a search for Y2JB. You will have to go back about 5 months or so... The quickest way is to restore a backup from Gezine (whose the dev behind Y2JB). But by doing that you will lose averything on your console....

Someone can unpatch the bdjb exploit for you with Star Wars so you only need the $5 bdjb disc from eBay or whoever you get it from

I plan to make a thread for US folks once my copy comes in the mail

That will give you your “real” bdjb

Why not create an .iso file and burn it via your own BR Burner? That should also work right?

This is confusing me.... what do you mean by this? A 5$ bdjb? Is this like selling bdjb discs to those folks who don't have the SWRR game? I thought the physical disc is needed for the first jb to be done and then you use the bdjb disc or somehting like that... It's late here so that may explain my brains not working lol

Let me explain something; whats the needing of this BD UN JB for ppl who have PSV JAILBREAKED YET with,for example,fw 9.60?

Sure if you own a burner. Otherwise buying one costs like $60 it’s easier and much cheaper to buy a disc already burned

Yes. The Star Wars game is only needed oncr

From there folks only need to source their own bdjb disc or I can provide one

But folks still need the SWRR game to be physicslly installed once on their console and then from there just the bdjb disc...
I know there is some sort of talk on discord about having official recongnised champions who can install SWRR on your console but you will have to ship your console to them! Frankly it's simply not pragmatic to do that...

Yes you would need to mail your console out to someone once as a send in service

It’s that or spend multiple hundred $$ on a lower Fw console, wait longer for another exploit, or source your own $250+ game

Many folks are fine dropping $50 for a send in service. It used to be a full time job back on Xbox 360 and ps3 for some

Ok im trying to answer:


The developers' hypothesis—which is entirely unconfirmed and highly experimental—is that if you manage to "taint" the BD-J stack with the patch while you're still jailbroken, a simple system update might not completely wipe that specific vulnerability, leaving you a "bridge" to firmware 12.00.

The "No Star Wars" Future Scenario

The objective is:
Use the current jailbreak (till 10.01) to patch the stack.

Find a way to update to firmware 12.00 while keeping that patch active (which is extremely difficult, but it's what they are currently testing)?

If they succeed, you would only need to insert the burned Blu-ray on firmware 12.00 to trigger the jailbreak, permanently eliminating the need for the Star Wars game.

Is it right?

Ummm you just need to be on firmware 12.00 with the star wars disc and then just jailbreak, do the bdjb patch and you good to go not having to need the star wars again.
