Hmmmm... May have to update Pro to 13.00 from 12.40 and lose netflix and youtube. IIRC pssr2 was released in firmware 13.00. I have patience I can wait...

Hello
I was wondering if you don't have any issues when shutting down the ps5 after it has been jailbreaked or played games .
I have a couple of ps5 from 3.20 to 7.61 but one of them on 5.10 requires manual shutdown very very often.
Before trying different combos on jb and payload could be interesting to get some feedback. Thx

FW 5.10 works pretty well for me no issues and no kp.
autoloader just with
etahen 2.6b -> kstuff-lite 1.1-dr
shadowmountplus 1.6beta9

I have some backups and if there are issues I am just going back to last working backup incl. actual save games.

Lots of folks talking abt Gezine returning to the scene. I think he is likely taking an approach similar to theflow, where he will not release "new" exploits but he is more than willing to publish any findings as long as it does not go against his best interests to do so. No point in hoarding dead bugs, so might as well make people happy every once and a while! Grateful for anything he publishes.

Translated: "He wants the bounties and doesn't want to work for free, so he will only release something when the bounties are collected" (as he should, of course). Lol.

Also, I'm realizing that using the new Y2JB 0.5, it won't read kstuff.elf (Kstuff Lite 1.04) correctly in my autoload.txt. It keeps saying:

"Error: File not found:/data/ps5_autoloader/ï»¿kstuff.elf"

I've triple checked the autoload.txt and it's just not reading it. Now I cannot open any games at all. I'll keep working on it.

Edit:

Ok, so Y2JB 0.5 + Kstuff Lite 1.04 + etaHEN 2.6B does NOT work - specifically Kstuff Lite 1.04 breaks this chain and will not open any installed content other than PS4 PKGs. I cannot open any ShadowMountPlus games using Kstuff Lite 1.04. Using Kstuff Lite 1.1-dr (stable) it works immediately. So I advise avoiding Kstuff Lite 1.04 in this setup for now.

exactly.. he recently wrote I know how flow felt when I discovered a bug that was recently fixed or something like that...

but the difference is that flow intentionally didn't report it and kept it private and when it was unexpectedly fixed he released it because he didn't have to have approval from Sony... which is a bit different than what Gezine wrote... but I understand that Gezine is writing intentional untruths because he wants to look good in the eyes of people who don't know the truth

Kstuff 1.04 is very unstable for me in various situations. I reverted back to 1.03.
Transfer you kstuff.elf to /data/etaHEN/ and /data/ps5_autoloader/ to see if it works.

yes Flow gave us a kernel exploit for free even though he could have reported it... Gezine rather reports kernel exploits for small amounts money and then licks Sony's feet and begs them to let him publish it...

Now Gezine supposedly has some kernel exploit in private but I think he will report it anyway in time so he can have some small amounts money and then lick Sony's feet again

It was indeed Kstuff Lite 1.04. I've moved back to Kstuff Lite 1.1-dr (stable) and it works fine.

PS6 is coming soon... It's good to keep some vulnerabilities or stuffs private... who knows, maybe some will work on PS6 too

Toxic lowlifes that don't contribute anything, such as you, are the very reason why people stop bothering to release things to the public.
When you release an exploit for free, you can speak up. Otherwise, return to your sad existence.

Just a suggest, enjoy more the PS4 that has catalog.

idk, I am not too attached to money however If I know of a Kernel exploit and Sony would pay anything for it. I would not release without a payout, the alternative is Sony (a multi-million corporation, reminder!) would get it and know it for free, so ideally I would want to squeeze as much as possible of them if I can. On the disclosure part, nobody is obligated to do/be like anyone else.

I can now unpatch consoles up to 13.20 in USA - or well anyone can that has a way to run this

But if anyone in the USA needs the service done, feel free to DM me

the point is that if your disc drive break or you have to do a complete wipe of the PS5, there is still a possibility to get Y2JB working. It's just a last resort that is not available on higher FW.

but if you are not afraid of that, feel free to update, fw 13.20 has a private kernel exploit.
------

13.00:
PS5 Pro Enhancements: The update enables enhanced PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution), designed to improve image clarity on Pro consoles. A toggle is available under Settings > Screen and Video > Video Output > Enhance PSSR Image Quality.

13.20:
PSSR Enhancements: A new option, "Enhance PSSR Image Quality," was added, allowing users to enable enhanced PSSR for compatible games that are not already using it.

That’s the disc I was asking about. If it’s possible to use the UN-JB on 12.40 with a digital SWRR or does it need the actual disc to do? Because I’d like to try that on my Pro to get it ready for when there is a chained exploit. That’s where pretty much all my main digital games reside so I’d like to be able to dump them.

If you have SWRR digitally with no expiration date on it, why do you even want or need UN-JB? Y2JB will be coming to 12.40, so there will be no need for this.

Adam512 · May 3, 2026

you can use any userland with this new kernel exploit... Of course, once it is implemented, which may take time.. but one day it will definitely come to 12.40

and don't forget, yarpe is king
