Oh and does the voidshell "Repair icons" option only apply to ps5 dumps, or is it meant to work for ps4 games too? I've tried a few times and it doesn't fix my borked ps4 icons, all my ps5 icons are already fine so I don't know if it's working as intended or not.

Either way if anyone knows how to fix ps4 icons without installing the games again, please let me know.

I remember in ps4 times there was an "SQL repair tool" when your game Icons dissapeared after DB rebuild and some weeks (months?) ago that Tool was ported to ps5. Dont ask me for the name, i really cant remember anymore. Maybe that would help. Worked great for me on ps4 years ago, just had to fiddle with it for external hdd installed games.

Honestly, the fact I haven’t hacked my 3.20 (5 years old now!!) yet tells you the state of the PS5 scene….

None of it is very exciting to me tbh.

Once we have Linux or native brew I’m sure I’ll get more involved in the enjoying rather than collating info for these pages.

4.03 is perfect for me. Didnt unbox it until y2jb autoloader was released and shortly after shadowmount and backports. Before those, running backups was very inconvenient and no backports too, so only old games. But right now it is very convenient as in y2jb autoloader is fast, we have backports and etahen with cheats. Almost feels like ps4 times, just fpkg is missing.
So my advice: enjoy the backported games on 4.03 and you still can have HV sooner or later

Too many good games to let your ps5 gather dust

sys_netcontrol UAF kernel exploit for PS5 BD-J. Achieves arbitrary kernel R/W, root privileges, enables Debug Settings, and deploys an ELF loader.

Still need SWRR to unpatch higher consoles.

Ah I think you're talking about the DB rebuilder tool. I also just realised how my comment can be confusing. My ps4 game icons are on the home screen, so I can launch them, but the icon itself is not there, it's just a black transparent square with some face button icons in it.

Maybe the "repair icons" is acting as a database rebuilder and meant to restore the actual game icons onto the home screen. I was under the impression it would work to fix the images in my icons not showing up too, but I guess not.

So to clarify, I'm trying to get my game icon images to show up, even the youtube app no longer has an image, and even before that it only had the og image, not the y2jb image.

So thanks for your help and if anyone has any ideas on this particular issue, I'm all ears, thanks guys.

No no i did understand you, but maybe its still worth a try, nothing to loose right ?
Because in the database i am sure there is a link to the Image that is to be shown.

Yes please. This would helps a lot. Thank you so much

Bud, I don't think I have responded to you about this, did you figure out, or still waiting for my answer? I ask because I finally will have some available time to try later today after work.

How can he download and extract unpacked ps5 games lol ? Via android phone

this is very simple to do as i've done it a few times, nzbleech to download, winrar to extract or you can use the nzb program, copy to external ssd by usb-c with any file explorer. then plug external ssd into ps5.

https://github.com/earthonion/prosper-together

PS4/PS5 userland exploit for Don't Starve Together (US + EU). Achieves code execution through save file injection, LuaJIT bytecode manipulation, and ROP chains.

Edit: will not chain to NetCtrl (poops) because it doesn’t have dup.

Userland alone is not enough to replace the Blu-Ray stack file to enable BD-JB, correct?

One has nothing to do with the other. FPKG on PS5 requires reverse engineering the chip in the PS5 (or getting the keys to it).

Few times for a reason lol

Is there an app for windows that downloads multiple links one after another by itself without me touching the app again?

4.03 is not the golden firmware any more?

No, but in fact 4.50 is recommended, not 4.51.

BrivsMekis · Apr 14, 2026

The HV payload elf on 4.50 ES self host and also with netcat gui doesnt appear to do anything at all.
Anyone else tried this?

The ps5-hen.elf is fetched or sent but no popup messages at all. I checked the sha256 and the file is good

Elfldr listening on port9021

MohammedQ8 · Apr 14, 2026

I have big issue I need help

My ps4 and ps5 save files are gone again. I didn’t do anything unusual sometimes jailbreak fails and I restart my system and try again.

Is this issue unique to firmware 10.01?

It didn’t happen on 9.20

I didn’t try new apps nor new payloads

What should I do?

If you mean the a53 chip, wasn't that already decrypted plus keys available?
So theoretically it should be possible right?
Or am i mixing things up?

Edit 2: Couldn't find anything to link for the Keys part, but there was a bootrom Keys leak, so i dont know if these are the ones needed for fpkg in relation to a53/mp4
