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

   (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.

Well stone the crows..... suddenly my spider sense has started to tingle little!

So is the fl0w saying he has a HV available for 6.00 then?

Post automatically merged: May 15, 2026

I had a problem with the database and now the console want to force me to update the FW, or to continue using it without update the fw to the most recent one, the console is saying that I have to extract the M.2 unit.

Have you seen guys this before? Is there something that can fix this problem?

Very similar to what happened to me when use earthonion's npfake app... i was forced to update my fw. The below repository has all the system and recovery fw's

https://archive.midnightchannel.net/SonyPS/Firmware/?cat=ps5sys

 

[schatzi24]

 

[BobaFett_UK]

Onto similar gaming news the backport for pragmata is now available from bestpig

 

[xalfie]

Do you know guys if Recovery FW wipes all content, even BD Pairing and activated profile ?
Because System FW is not giving option to format or prepare again the M.2 same unit. So bad, the Ps4 always had the format tool in the safe mode.

Maybe I can also try to perform a backup before to use the Recovery FW, and then try to restore profile + savegames... But I don't know if BD pairing will be saved or the activated profile....

 

[Adam512]

I think the paired drive is not erased on PS5 FAT, but I don't know how it is in the latest FW.

 

[BobaFett_UK]

Recovery Firmware (Reinstallation File)

• What it is: A comprehensive, full-sized OS image (approx. \(1.4\text{ GB}\)) used to completely factory-reset and rebuild the console's software from scratch.
• How it is applied: It cannot be installed over Wi-Fi. You must download the official console reinstallation file from the PlayStation System Software Reinstallation page, load it onto a USB drive, and boot the PS5 in Safe Mode to apply it.
• Impact on data: Destructive. Installing Recovery Firmware formats the console, wiping all user data, games, and system settings to return it to a "fresh out-of-the-box" state.

System Firmware is the everyday operating system that runs your console, while Recovery Firmware is a specialized, bare-bones package used in Safe Mode to completely wipe and reinstall the operating system if the console is corrupted or the internal storage has been replaced

Hey sorry it took so long just upping those saves now to google drive p2jb took a bit and my blu ray burner isnt coming till tomorrow haha il add the link here in a sec


Okidoki they are all good to go
hope the saves help out in some way, free people from the chains of SWRR haha & bringing it to folk on higher fw

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1C9XbRjv5z8wKi1IqnHA5s6aFCT81GIFb?usp=sharing

Thanks. I'll get to work.

EDIT: I tried many tools, but I get either a overhead error or rc error on multiple saves.
Example: Expected savesize 104857600 but got 104856023 for file savedata! or

Failed to mount savedata (rc=-2147352480)

Any reason to stay on 4.XX if 6.00 will give hv? (obviously not until all kinks are worked out etc...)

• Pairing Loss: A factory reset or "Reinstall System Software" (Safe Mode option 7) will unpair the disc drive, especially on Slim models manufactured or updated to lower firmware.

That bug is why I don't use a M.2 drive. That is the only time me and others have ever ran into that issue. Sorry but hopefully you can do a backup. Does rebuilding database/cache clearing help?
Cause restoring is like a 50/50. Sorry this is happening

Do you have a Slim that came paired out the box? But on the bright side even if pairing is lost, you still below 10.02 and no need for any unicorns!

I had a problem with the database and now the console want to force me to update the FW, or to continue using it without update the fw to the most recent one, the console is saying that I have to extract the M.2 unit.

Have you seen guys this before? Is there something that can fix this problem?

You have no option to restart the PS5 and go into Safe Mode and Rebuild Database from there?

If the internal M2 filesystem itself is damaged, the console will repeatedly force recovery operations. You can get the M2 out and reformat it on Windows. < Done this 2 times.

And after rebuilding the database put it back in. You'll get a message that it has to format the M2 etc.

Ended up buying one of the LUA games. Which means as soon as it's delivered, the Y2JB will be released.

• Pairing Loss: A factory reset or "Reinstall System Software" (Safe Mode option 7) will unpair the disc drive, especially on Slim models manufactured or updated to lower firmware.

Of course I tried all that from the safe mode. But you know the EVIL? the format tool is not on the safe mode, that was there in the PS4. Because the problem of the database produced this fucking big problem ! and of course, by the way I have lost some games that now I can not restore.

Yes my slim model did come unpaired from factory. Original FW was 7.61.
The problem with this fucking Sony way, is that there are tons details that aren't under our control. BD Pairing, account activation, blablablalbla. The solution is simple and the console is saying it, 'update the console FW to the most new FW update', or remove the M.2 unit to be able to start the console. To see to believe it !

I did tons things, injected the database by 200 ways. Nothing will fix this. You all guys are warned.

Just start to pray you all guys. Pray that you don't reach this database problem, because it seems that there is no solution.

That's why I store everything on external M2 in a USB enclosure and only use the internal storage for PS4 games.

Any reason to stay on 4.XX if 6.00 will give hv? (obviously not until all kinks are worked out etc...)

Lower is always better, as with the 3.xx keys scenario, but if you’re not worried about stuff like that then I guess wait until it’s released and the dust settles and see if you need to update.

4.xx has backporks and Linux already, so I would definitely hold fire if it were me.

Yes I know, but I only had disc based games on the M.2. For the goodies I use an external SSD Sata with USB 3.2 Gen2.

Try this for YouTube Update Blocker

From the changelog of Y2JB, it seems that 1.3 now includes the update blocker (i.e. no more need to patch the appinfo.db file as described in the video). Is this correct?

It's not whether you use a m.2 or the internal drive that will determine if you have a bad kp which will result in a reset being needed. It's messing around with certain aspects of the core firmware which can cause it to go tit's up. There is no playbook for this it's just the luck of the draw... There can be a multitude of factors that can cause a bad journey to occur... The point is if you jb a console then expect things to go south at one time or another....

@xalfie Try this,

Don't you dare press that upgrade button, else i'll have to come over with some heavies and make you drink a bottle or two of single malt and eat the hottest vindaloo like ever

But seriously, stay put on your 4.xx fw matey

Which FW happen to you this mess, with FW 10.00?

BTW: After upgrade from 10.00 to 10.01 the only advantage is that now the rest-mode is working well (even with my m.2 connected)...
On the 10.00 the console always was freezing after comeback from rest-mode...
So seems that something have been improved on 10.01...
And like you I am installing everything on my m.2 (PS4 and PS5 games ) and for now everything works great (no database issues)...
