PS5 Exploit Guide

Adam512 · Mar 25, 2026

I read on the internet that the backport doesn't work for some people.. I don't know what kind of backport it was but probably backpork??

I haven't tested any backports yet but I think I saw a utility on the internet where you enter a folder, then enter what sdk you want and it does it all... I think it's worth trying, maybe better than some universal 2xx-9xx that work for some and don't for others

Updating a console to play a game is not logical in my opinion...

Well... I do have to agree on this in some way. It depends on what your ambition with your JB system is. Homebrew/games/developement/testing etc.

It comes down in what you need for your use-case. Updating and losing a whole JB also comes down to preferences. For example if you want update some data, like trophies and / or download some PSN stuff.

I did this like 4 times for the PS4

Started out on 5.xx, after that 7xx, updated to > 9xx, updated to 11xx. Now 13xx. Absolutely don't care about lower FW's for my PS4. So don't ask.

You updated your ps4 from 9.00 upwards? Good Grief Man... What possessed you? 9.00 is the golden firmware... Surely? Mind you if i'm being honest i've totally forgotten about my console.... I think the last time i switched it on i used a bd disc to jailbreak it...

The bestpig backports are considered the better ones... but I agree backports don't work for everyone in the same way... that's got to be expected...

I meant GOW not GOW.... oh wait I can see why that can get confusing....

Gears of War not God of War....

Awwww I was wondering why you was mad that the backport of that game wasnt working lol

Wolf85 · Mar 26, 2026

I knew the mgs backport for 2.xx was too good to be true. Unless of course the fakelibs are missing.

Well I thought I’d give GOW a go on my 9.20 console and guess what…. Drum roll.

You’ve guessed it… lol

I’ll give zombies’s backports a run after dinner and a Guiness on GOW and see if the game loads..

MGS works with bestpigs files but you need to turn on 3d-audio. I’ll feedback and let him know.

I can't get GOW or DDA to work and MGS doesn't have most sound

Is anyone on the scene is working on implementation for end users? What benefits HV can actually bring for mass user? 4.50 here, peacefully playing the binding of isaac with 2.3b etahen via webkit (not even bothered with pausing kstuff for this game really). Seeing how much troubles are people facing with backports and fake singing their users on higher firmwares Im in no rush to update my system. Not until I 100%'ed TboI at least and look for other games to play.

PS5 Hack Status:

FW Ranges:
2.XX = HEN+Kstuff+HV = PS4/5 backups (WebKit: 2.50 recommended FW)
3.XX = HEN+Kstuff = PS4/5 backups, possible HV (WK/BDJB/LUA: 3.20 recommended FW)
4.XX = HEN+Kstuff = PS4/5 backups, possible HV (WK/BDJB/LUA: 4.50 recommended FW)
5.XX = HEN+Kstuff = PS4/5 backups, no HV (WK/BDJB/LUA)
6.XX = HEN+Kstuff = PS4/5 backups, no HV (BDJB/LUA: 6.50 recommended FW)
7.XX = HEN+Kstuff = PS4/5 backups, no HV (BDJB/LUA: 7.61 recommended FW)

NOTE: Recommended firmwares are subjective. Staying low is always suggested first and 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 always try to stay low unless all you want is immediate piracy.

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

You will need a BD dive paired to your Slim/Pro console, or an OG Phat model on 1.00-7.61 to run this exploit.

(Alternative: UMTX Kernel exploit 7.61 JAR loader by Hammer83: https://github.com/hammer-83/ps5-jar-loader/releases)

Burn ISO to a blank BD-R or BD-RE, put it into your console, and click on the [DISC PLAYER] icon.
Highlight [PIPELINE RUNNER] then click option 2 [Normaljailbreak-etaHEN-UMTX1.pipe] to auto load etaHEN ready for ItemzFlow.
Debug settings will be loaded, and the package installer can be found under [SETTINGS] > [DEBUG SETTINGS].
ELF Loader will be running on your PS5 IP: port 9021

Important:
Up to 9.60 has a kernel exploit + HEN
10.00-10.01 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.

Insert your game disc and, as soon as possible, make a save file within it.

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.

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.

Share the folder, set it to editor mode, share with anyone, and click "copy the link".

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.)

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]).

Using REMOTE LUA LOADER, open the savedata folder, copy the 20 files within into your encrypted save folder on your desktop.

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".

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.)

When this is done, paste the link to the decrypted save (24 files) folder, and the bot will encrypt the files.

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.

Download the resigned files, extract the files to your USB drive and overwrite them into the savedata folder on your USB or external drive.

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.

Load LUA game again, and you should see the LUA LOADER screen.

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.

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.

I can't get GOW or DDA to work and MGS doesn't have most sound

To get sound to work on MGS you need to turn on 3d Audio it seems... I just cleared to initial credit cut scenes and sounds is sall there.... Not dived into the game further thsn that point..

Regarding DDA, just wait for the official bestpig backports... They will be coming.... it's only a matter of time....

Also have people noticed....it says working on 12.xx, 11.xx ?? I thought there's no public kernel exploit chained to a userland yet so what have i missed here?

It is wonderful how microshit or micropig is being paid properly with last dumps on ps5. And this is a warning for everything to take in consideration this site: https://www.doesitplay.org

It is important to don't buy games with no 100% content on disc.

Now just waiting to see The Outer Worlds 2, that game that was said lately that was a fail, because a full price and a simple launcher on the disc, BUT that is a very good game in fact.

I've noticed that some FFPKG packages have also now been released on the usual sites... Now if you need a backport to make a particular game run then how do you copy the backport files over to the FFPKG as isn't the FFPKG supposed to be one large file or have i got that completely wrong? I've not had the need previously to use FFPKG's hence my question.... Oh and have you seen the size of them??? Gonna need a bigger SSD at this rate!!!

It's just the bsd native image format, like an iso, can be opened and files added then saved in an app that deals with iso images.

I'm doing the coding thing, but for free... got some books to teach myself with. Problem is I don't get much time to do it and when I do have time I should be sleeping instead.

The main reason I haven’t tried Astro’s Playroom or anything else is that I’m kind of stuck and don’t really know what I should be doing.

This is a launch PS5 on firmware 11.00 that I bought from a friend. It still has his account and games on it because I asked him not to delete or reset anything before selling it to me. I was worried he might accidentally update the system if he turned it on. He also never enabled the “play offline” setting, which I didn’t even know was a thing until yesterday, but I've also learned cannot be turned on without connecting to PSN. Like I’ve said, I have literally never used the PS5 at all because I’ve been waiting for a jailbreak.

Since I haven’t really followed exactly how each of the different jailbreak methods work, mainly because nothing is available for 11.00 apart from SWRR (which I won’t have access to anymore, smh), I’m not sure how to move forward. Should I back up the current firmware? Should I just factory reset the console? I just want to avoid doing anything that might hurt my chances of jailbreaking it later.

For example, I don’t know if removing his account could cause problems. I know that in the Switch jailbreak scene this was an issue early on, but it was later solved with offline account activation. I’ve seen that something similar has recently appeared for the PS5 scene as well.

I’ve also seen the jailbreaks using apps like YouTube or Netflix, along with talk about restoring firmware backups with access to those specific apps, but I don’t fully understand how that works. Without checking, I’m not even sure what apps are currently installed on the console I have due to his account or which ones come preinstalled.

Because of all that, I don’t want to remove an account or delete an app if they might end up being useful later. At the same time, I haven’t really looked into the details of each method since there’s nothing I can actually use right now, and things seem to be changing pretty quickly.

It just feels like a lot to keep up with, especially when my console can’t even be jailbroken yet.

To get sound to work on MGS you need to turn on 3d Audio it seems... I just cleared to initial credit cut scenes and sounds is sall there.... Not dived into the game further thsn that point..

Regarding DDA, just wait for the official bestpig backports... They will be coming.... it's only a matter of time....

Also have people noticed....it says working on 12.xx, 11.xx ?? I thought there's no public kernel exploit chained to a userland yet so what have i missed here?
