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.

[Schweino]

Good evening,
I must apologise in advance. I’ve been out of the homebrew scene for a while, but I’m getting back into it. Could someone please tell me if I’m right about this: for PS5 firmware 13.42, do I only need the .elf file for the BD jailbreak on a Blu-ray disc? No other exploit chain required beforehand. For firmware 13.60, do I need an exploit chain?
First of all, I don’t want to use a WebKit exploit. Thanks

For anyone about to use this

DO NOT USE GHOSTTOOTH API

I told Vik it will break controllers until you force a console reboot and he still included it for some reason

Has anyone installed the SteamOS 3 on their PS5? And if so, how is it? I just got a m.2 drive to install into my PS5 so I can run linux better and Ubuntu on my external USB HDD is fine, but like how SteamOS is on my Steam Deck. So I was wondering if it was worth it to install it to my m.2 or if I should just stick with Ubuntu.

I've used linux over the decades, installed a few distro's onto stuff. I know some stuff but by no means do I even consider myself intermediate with Linux knowledge. More like an educated noob.

I only run poops after a hot curry

May give webkit a run just for a bit of fun

Thx for the heads up

Quick question about the backup tool does it allow you to restore individual game saves, or do you have to restore the entire backup? Being able to roll back just one game's save would be pretty useful.

individual saves, not the whole set. there is no all-in-one backup to restore. garlic backs up per title, one zip per game:
/data/garlic/backups/<titleid>/all/<timestamp>_<titleid>_all_enc.zip

so rolling back one game means importing that one game's zip and leaving everything else alone. the import tab takes either the encrypted zip, or a decrypted folder that has sce_sys/param.sfo in it. it mounts the save, reads the sfo, compares the save's account id against the user you're importing under, and offers to resign if they differ. if a save for that title is already there, it checks first and warns before overwriting.

Hello and thank you, I'll test that.

I saw that it was possible to upload saves to the cloud. That's great.

Now what I'm interested in is importing them to my PC and smartphone

The app does it all. Garlic SaveMgr uses port 8082 so on your PC/smartphone open web browser and in the address put your console's IP and add the port. It will look something similar to this: 192.168.145:8082.
From there you can simply download encrypted or decrypted saves.

there's also auto-backup option but as I'm not into that I can't tell if auto-backup can copy saves directly to smartphone/PC or if "cloud" can be set as a computer's drive.

I'm interested myself but don't want to spend hours tweaking and troubleshooting with Linux. I am in two minds at the moment because of release of mihawk OS and playden.

Bazzite deck and steamos3 seem interesting. Also hoping some one will release a sort of custom wizard that sets up 95% of the installation.

Would be mostly to play window games and maybe some emulation.

question on libprospero 0.6.12 (latest) what option whould i set to sdk version?

 

[rull_bull]

Another HV exploit found?

Like I said before, it’s a poker game. Hackers vs Sony. All that have happened in the scene in the past months it’s just bread crumbs for the public and to force Sony to show their cards.
All in before GTA 6 and to give as many as possible the chance to JB.

And the rest will be hidden in small groups like it always have been.

For sure there is both kex and HV for higher fw in a very small group. You can tell by small kryptic posts from the devs.

There's normally little reason to set it to anything besides 1.0, and that is what Drakmor's GUI tools default to. It's kind of an arbitrary decision; you're just setting a flag to tell the OS what the minimum version is required to be. But the actual minimum version required is based on what the included binaries are coded (or backported) for.

Otherwise you can leave it on Auto, and it will set it to whatever the game is currently reporting it needs.

These are all on PC now (including some formerly exclusive Xbox One games). We need all these on PS5.

All Sins will be washed away to the person or people who bring GTAVI to the ps5 scene.
Watch Jordy become a Saint over night if he discovered another HV

You can put Halo Master Chief Collection on your jailbroken PS5 (I posted before you can also put Halo 5) for single player campaigns only though.

Halo 5 an Xbox One exclusive on PS5.

Where's it available?

You have to supply the game yourself and it's single player only no online play https://github.com/peanutpckrupper/Osiris-PS5

I beat the single player mode years ago so I'm not really interested myself but just from looking I was unable to find a dump of the game online anyway. There's dumps of the Forza Xbox one games so there are Xbox one dumps, but I've couldn't find Halo 5 anywhere. Not saying it doesn't exist I just couldn't find it, obviously it must exist since this project exists.
