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, see the top of this page.

(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
(Updating with RECOVERY PUP will perform a factory format and will wipe your internal HDD)

PS5 factory mode PUP installation path:
/usb/PROSPERO/UPDATE/PROSPEROUPDATE.PUP

NOTE: Make a system back up before attempting any modifications.
On console: go to [Settings] > [System] > [System Software] > [Back Up and Restore] > [Back Up Your PS5]

Select Your Jailbreak:

3. 
   Important:
   LUA entry point works from 2.00 to the latest OFW, but there is no KEX above 12.70 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.
   
   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.

   Exploiting:
   coming soon
   
   Debug settings will be loaded, and the package installer can be found under [SETTINGS] > [DEBUG SETTINGS].
   
8. 
   
   [UPDATED]
   No longer needed if using latest WebKit (to 13.60) or BD-JB (to 13.42)!
   
   Important:
   This method modifies the BD-J stack to allows BD-JB entry point to be re-enabled on consoles up to 13.60, for convenience only.
   
   Very Important:
   This method requires your console to be jailbroken by another method first to gain access to alter the files.
   
   https://github.com/Gezine/BD-UN-JB
   
   Preparation:
   Burn the ISO to a blank Blu Ray, insert it into the jailbroken console. Send the bdj_unpatch.elf to elfldr using netcat GUI to PS5's IP Address & port 9021 to unpatch BD-J.
   
   (NOTE: DO NOT REINSTALL/UPDATE FW, IT WILL WIPE THE PATCH AND LOSE BD-JB)
   

Once jailbroken it is recommended to run KSTUFF LITE and SHADOWMOUNTPLUS at minimum to get you up and running.
(ShadowMountPlus: is an automated background auto-mounter payload for jailbroken PS5 consoles. Detects, mounts, and installs game dumps from internal or external storage, with support for UFS, exFAT, PFS, and nested compressed PFS containers)

Additional Information:

Blocking Updated with nanoDNS:
Set primary DNS manually to 127.0.0.1. Send latest elf to BIN LOADER using netcat GUI to PS5's IP Address & port 9021.

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
OFW 13.xx runs PS4 games up to 13.42
OFW 14.xx runs PS4 games up to 14.00

(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: Installing legit game PKGs you do not own will never work, even if spoofed.

4: 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.

these install instructions are so janky and bad holy cow lol

And over complicated.

Haha indeed. And this not the only application.

Can someon tell me where to find an hypervisor elf compiled for fw 10.0.1?

Thanks in advance

Hi all.
Couple quick questions...not sure if I'm understanding everything correctly these days
I'm currently running on 12.70...using the YTJB that takes 50-mins. It's really stable, but it takes 50-mins.

1. To upgrade to the new YTJB Relapse, can I do that by using my PayloadMgr after my 50-min JB executes...will the new JB payload be searchable/installable within PayloadMgr? Or, do I need to start from scratch and manually install new YTJB payload(s) from USB?
2. Also, will the new YTJB Relapse app just install over my current YTJB app...or will it add a second YTJB app/icon on my system?

Thanx much in advance for any help

1. To upgrade to the new YTJB Relapse, can I do that by using my PayloadMgr after my 50-min JB executes...will the new JB payload be searchable/installable within PayloadMgr? Or, do I need to start from scratch and manually install new YTJB payload(s) from USB?

I'm assuming you are using PLK's Y2JB Autoloader here. In which case, you can update it through the application itself: "You can update the autoloader by simply placing y2jb_update.zip on the root of a USB drive, and starting the app."

Keep in mind that the way Y2JB Autoloader works is that we're basically stuffing a different payload inside of the official YouTube application. So when we want to change it, we don't reinstall it; we just gut and re-stuff it.

2. Also, will the new YTJB Relapse app just install over my current YTJB app...or will it add a second YTJB app/icon on my system?

It updates the current application; it does not install a second copy.

As an aside, you should consider installing a copy of PLK's Webkit Autoloader while you're at it. That way you have a backup method to jailbreak your console in case anything happens to Y2JB Autoloader.

Hello everyone

I successfully jailbroke my PS5 Slim on firmware 12.20 using Relapse by following this Modded Warfare video:

So I downloaded Red Dead Redemption 1 PS5 version and then transferred it to the console via the application PS5Upload as advised by Modded Warfare.

The game has launched and it is stable and playable.

But I have two questions: how can I tell if a PS5 game requires a version newer than 12.20?

Also, I had a hard time finding PS5 games online. Do you have any websites you could recommend?
Is there an alternative store that can be installed on the console, similar to an PKGI system for the PS3?

Thanks in advance

Websites you download from usually state the firmware requirement. Backports usually exist for those popular games.

Also, I had a hard time finding PS5 games online. Do you have any websites you could recommend?

We are not allowed to post or link to those websites here, check the forum rules.

Is there an alternative store that can be installed on the console, similar to an PKGI system for the PS3?

There used to be one recently but it's shut down right now after Sony found out about it.

So regarding Red Dead Redemption: https://prosperopatches.com/PPSA30528 > Version 01.002.000 needs FW 12.60.

Just wanted to add to brother blythe93 posts.

Game title itself might have an indication of it's fw requirements.

I won't dl a game unless it has an nfo file or basic description on the website it's taken from.

If game has it update or patch version in it's title, you can compare it to https://prosperopatches.com/PPSA30523
And see what fw is required.

If your fw is not supported then look for a game that has an included or separate backport file to get it working.

Regarding stores that can be installed on ps5, I wouldn't use them personally. Unlikely to last long, most of their links probably point to that "particular" game website anyway.

I have many sources, but we do not share any links to warez sites on this forum.

Great, thank you. I've added the site to my favorites so I don't download a game unnecessarily.

I completely understand that we can't share links to the sites where the games are available. Is it okay if I ask via private message? Thank you.

This is also against the rules.

Hi all.
Couple quick questions...not sure if I'm understanding everything correctly these days
I'm currently running on 12.70...using the YTJB that takes 50-mins. It's really stable, but it takes 50-mins.

1. To upgrade to the new YTJB Relapse, can I do that by using my PayloadMgr after my 50-min JB executes...will the new JB payload be searchable/installable within PayloadMgr? Or, do I need to start from scratch and manually install new YTJB payload(s) from USB?
2. Also, will the new YTJB Relapse app just install over my current YTJB app...or will it add a second YTJB app/icon on my system?

Thanx much in advance for any help

Check out the below video from MW, I did it and it works great.

 

[TJackson]

Very well, thank you. I had read it when I arrived, but a reminder never hurts.

Why is this guy so Mad all the time. Seems like he inhales to much Lead from fixing ps5 controllers. I see posts and want to poke him with a stick

I thought "Fuse emulation" was a good idea. Oh well, I'm just a retard as well .

Also I did not post original GitHub page to downgrading firmware because someone from here bound to try it

Just want to add a clarification about that: this is only true for dumping the actual retail copy of the game, not for running a backup.

For *totally legit* games that you find online, you either have to look at the release notes as suggested by @AlphaBravo or download the whole game and open a specific file (can't remember the exact name, I believe it's param.sfo or something like that?) with a notepad app and check for the required SDK version.

RomM Server Client for PS4 and PS5 v1.2.1​

A RomM companion client for jailbroken PS5 consoles (etaHEN or onionHEN, with kstuff) and PS4 consoles (GoldHEN). Through my insatiable need to mod everything electronic I encounter, I had my 12.70 PS5 jailbroken the minute that P2JB was out. I maintain a RomM server to centralize all my legal ROMs, saves, and savestates, which all my devices sync with, and the PS5 needs similar treatment.

New​

• A breaking change was introduced in RetroArch 2.0.0 support where games live in new folders, named after each system (content/Nintendo - Game Boy Advance). New RomM game downloads go there, and RommPS offers to move the games already in the old folders. Saves and states stay where they are.
• RetroArch 2.0.0 plays PS2 with PS5SX2. Its default is shared memory cards and not per-game cards.
• Variable width game covers are now supported. Square and wide boxes (SNES, N64 and others) are no longer squeezed into portrait cards, and display as expected.

Fixed​

• PS2 BIOS files for RetroArch go to system/pcsx2/bios, where its PS2 cores look for them.

Good to know​

• PS2 save states made with LRPS2 don't load in PS5SX2. Save in-game before upgrading RetroArch.

I love this scene: I take back what I said yesterday about shellUI

XeCLI cracked it

I love this scene: I take back what I said yesterday about shellUI

I don't like the look of that - but I understand what it means, total customization, so that's fantastic.
There will be so many shell replacements coming once something is released

Honestly I don't mind the stock look, if we could just add custom sections, that would be great.
If anyone remembers using the "game categories" plugin for PSP, simple but effective.
I think I just want a better PSP/PS3 XMB.

PSBox Cloud Gaming​

What's New in v1.0.0​

• USB keyboard & mouse: native mouse and keyboard in supported cloud games (with MKB badge and search filter), or as a player's controller (keys 1–4 choose player, WASD, mouse as right stick, wheel as Triangle); full menu navigation by keyboard, dynamic key-cap hints, F12 for the in-game menu and Home for the Xbox button.
• Keyboard key remapping: customize up to two keys or mouse buttons per action in Settings and per-game profiles.
• DualSense gyro aiming: off / always / while aiming (L2), intensity 1–10 in the in-game menu (saved globally or per game), using gravity-projected yaw so a tilted controller aims naturally.
• Sign-in & reliability: renewed refresh tokens are saved immediately when rotated; xCloud login is retried automatically on 5xx errors (up to 6 tries over ~25 s); queue wait estimate is shown while queued; video quantiser (QP) is shown in stream stats.
• Crash address in reports: unexpected-close reports now include the faulting instruction offset (pc=eboot+0x...), memory address, and caller backtrace (bt=...) to pinpoint crashes accurately.
