PS5 Exploit Guide

AlphaBravo · Oct 13, 2026

Would seem that Ark Sama releasing his exploit (a53) is not necessary but still likely for further development and integration with Kstuff. When all things equal, wonder what preference will be with byepervisor or Kstuff?

anyone got error with belmonts curse dump when starting?

Naifas · Oct 13, 2026

I'm on 11.20. I want to play GTA6 at launch. What do you guys recommend?
Will I need to update the console to play GTA6 or will I be able to keep 11.20?

Thanks.

Not sure, im guessing it will be back ported though. Just stay where you are until something comes out.

Is it just me or does the Payload Manager has issues? Ver 0.5.2 cannot load Manage Payload section
edit: yep multiple user experience the same thing. saw it on his github

Well, just wait for release and see, but there is a 99.999999999% chance that GTA VI won't be available for jailbroken consoles right after launch. So, if you want to play it immediately upon release, you'll need to update your system and buy game. I read online that a hacker might release a playable developer version of GTA VI (I'm not sure for which platform)... but those could have just been empty threats from hacker. That’s why I said you should wait until the game is actually released.

I feel like people always ask about 3.xx/4.xx updating, the answer is always no every time.
people need to start asking about the unconventional firmwarws like:
"stay on 1.xx/2.xx or go to 3 or 4"
"stay on 5.xx/6.xx or go to 7"
"stay on 8.xx/9.xx or go to 10"
etc.

It remains best to stay on the lowest possible firmware. Many people mistakenly believe that higher firmware versions are free of errors, but even on higher versions, some games fail to run—for instance, due to bad dumps.

Here is my take on the current situation:
1) FW 10.01 – "Lapse" still works on this firmware, allowing users to remain completely offline using Y2JB. It also supports WebKit and options like "poops" or "relapse," though some users reportedly face major issues with WebKit, so some might not want to risk moving to a higher firmware right now. "Relapse," on the other hand, requires an active connection. Note that "poops" does not work with Y2JB. FPKGs work on 10.01.

2) Users should aim for 11.xx, ideally 11.00 – this firmware supports a wider range of games without needing backports, while still allowing FPKGs to run...but Y2JB isn't completely offline.

3) Alternatively, move to 13.xx—likely straight to 13.60. FPKGs aren't supported here yet, though that might change in the future. Theoretically, "hv reborn/HEN" could work here, but it would require putting the console into sleep mode every time—which might be annoying for some, given that lower firmware versions didn't require this step.

So, I still recommend staying on the lowest possible firmware until things are fully sorted out (implemented).

For example, the combination of "redis" and "hv reborn" could be amazing (on versions up to 7.61)... there are also rumors about keys (3.xx), though it's unclear what purpose such keys would serve. No demonstration—not even of private content—and no explanation or the like... Apparently no CFW; we already have PS4 and PS5 save editing, etc.

Firmware versions:
A: 10.01
B: 11.xx
C: 13.60

Wonder if we will get pkg files as the new standard for game dumps.

I doubt it. PS5 scene is half dead, same as PS4 before. In 10+ years nobody even bothered to crack updates/patches process for dumped games. The most basic stuff, available from day1 on ps3 and switch.

It seems that people just don't care about jb and we all are living in a tiny bubble.

you have to remember

Jailbreaking this system wasn’t easily accessible until like 2 weeks ago…

Also a lot of reason “no body bothers” is because modding scenes aren’t what they used to be

Entitled kids left and right. This research takes hundreds of hours of time all for free

And this system is locked down a lot more than the ps4 and any other console you can think of

There is a lot going on…it’s not as easy as asking Claude to crack and update and make no mistakes

I like it this way, if too many people are easily hacking the console and pirating they will start taking down all the github repos and other things. Im glad when people who want everything done for them tap out.

What a strange concept. Switch is most easily hackable console in decades with perfect piracy, yet homebrew scene is thriving. In GitHub and everywhere.

I agree that having such fresh fw open is unusual, but probably the real reason is different.

I think sony nailed their security strategy. As long as they can patch vulnerability in next firmware and cut people from online, subscriptions, their legit games and new releases, general public will not care about jailbreaks.

Firestarter · Oct 13, 2026

I am reading conflicting info here, does 12+ require a53 with the new bypervisor to run FPKG?

Nintendo does all they can to stop it, not sure what you mean by the homebrew scene being so much bigger on switch. Sounds more like you just want easier piracy...

Really? Like you don't see the difference in homebrew activity between switch and ps4, hacked roughly at the same time? Obviously we are in vibecoding world now and everything changed, but yet.

kevin corms said:

This is just my theory explaining poor state of ps4/ps5 scene.

Scene guys are attention seekers, they want bragging creds. If something is not popular they don't bother. That's why we have what we have. Pure madhouse with 10 different backup formats, none of which work properly. And 100s of games not dumped at all.

HS2005 · Oct 13, 2026

With the new HV developments I'll be like:

Only 100% of my games are like in .ffpfsc format... But there is always r00m for improvements.

Wow, there's already a dump for that game?

Rasa39 · Oct 13, 2026

So does Sonic-ISO get to claim that other bounty that was made? I believe it said you needed to enable linux to run on 13.40 or higher with a hypervisor exploit, which his does, and he didn't actually go through H1 either, because someone else already did, right?

The lovely thing is that games are released that use FW 13.60. So most of them are like the latest version. I just strip the backport out of it and done. Because neh... 13.60 does not need a silly 4.xx ~ 12.xx backport.

Is there any alternative to garlic save manager? I can't seem to import one game save

How do you get rid of the backports? I'm on 13.60 and yet have just thought of disabling fakelibs for titles.

IIRC importing requires decrypted saves. Other than this tool the only i know is PS5Upload but I stay away from AIO apps.
