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:

    ELF Loader uses PS5 IP: port 9021 / BIN loader uses 9020 / Jar loader uses port 9025

    Debug settings will be loaded, and the package installer can be found under [SETTINGS] > [DEBUG SETTINGS].

  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.

  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.

Not an app-update, but they updated their game repository. Neo-Enabler added two interesting patches, for me at least, and for anyone curious.

- Bayonetta: Native 4k resolution patch

- Final Fantasy XV: 1440p and 1944p resolution patches, 60 FPS High/Steady mode

FF XV specifically, supports 60FPS on PS5 via BC, but only on its Lite Mode, which downscales some of the graphics, it was merely done for old consoles to maintain its performance, so this Neo-Enabler patch is just pure blessing.

PS5 SFlash Dumper​

Payload for jailbroken PlayStation 5 consoles that reads /dev/sflash0 (NOR flash, ~2 MB), writes two independent dumps, and verifies they match with CRC32.

Tested with Relapse on firmware 12.40

Features​

  • Full dump of /dev/sflash0 (2 MB, 512-byte aligned reads)
  • Two consecutive dumps from the device
  • CRC32 comparison of both files
  • Console notifications: Make Dump 1... → Make Dump 2... → Verifying backup... → matched / not matched
  • Output: USB (/mnt/usb0/) preferred, fallback to /data/
  • Kernel privilege escalation (uid 0, authid, full caps, root vnode)
  • Read-only — does not write to NOR

Requirements​

  • Jailbroken PS5 with (FW 7.00–13.60)
  • kstuff-lite loaded
  • ELF loader on port 9021
  • Optional: USB drive formatted exFAT
  • Build: ps5-payload-sdk

You that follow these things closely or so it seems, or anyone who can give some views on this: when I tried LZ4, with various tools ( some running on the PS5 itself, some on PC ), I got like a poor ratio of working games, the speed and non stuttering did have a promise and it showed, but man, things working on external didn't work on internal and things working on 4.50 didn't work on 13.60... in the end I kinda dropped the thing altogether waiting for FPKG on 13.60. The question is: is ZSTD somewhat better on this regard ? do they mostly work ?
 
Hi everyone 👋🏻

I've been searching for an answer to my question for two days now, and I'm having trouble understanding it.

I'm on version 12.20. I mainly use the .ffpkg, .exFAT, and .ffpfsc formats for my PS5 games.
I'm trying to find out if the .fpkg format is compatible. It seems to be compatible, but I'm not sure about my firmware. What do you think?

Not an app-update, but they updated their game repository. Neo-Enabler added two interesting patches, for me at least, and for anyone curious.

- Bayonetta: Native 4k resolution patch

- Final Fantasy XV: 1440p and 1944p resolution patches, 60 FPS High/Steady mode

FF XV specifically, supports 60FPS on PS5 via BC, but only on its Lite Mode, which downscales some of the graphics, it was merely done for old consoles to maintain its performance, so this Neo-Enabler patch is just pure blessing.
Hi. I have NeoEnabler installed, but I've never been able to update the database.

Is there an up-to-date database available on GitHub? Thanks! 👍🏻
 
Hi everyone 👋🏻

I've been searching for an answer to my question for two days now, and I'm having trouble understanding it.

PS5 game FPKGs are only available on firmware 11.60 or lower. Support for up to firmware 13.60 will be available soon, so please be patient. Learn to read before asking, as this is clearly stated in the first post of this thread.

If you're referring to PS4 FPKGs, then yes, they are compatible with any jailbroken PS5.
 
You that follow these things closely or so it seems, or anyone who can give some views on this: when I tried LZ4, with various tools ( some running on the PS5 itself, some on PC ), I got like a poor ratio of working games, the speed and non stuttering did have a promise and it showed, but man, things working on external didn't work on internal and things working on 4.50 didn't work on 13.60... in the end I kinda dropped the thing altogether waiting for FPKG on 13.60. The question is: is ZSTD somewhat better on this regard ? do they mostly work ?
It depends on the game.

I tried a couple of LZ4 and ZSTD renderings using https://github.com/quer3q/ampr-emu-ng/releases/tag/v0.3.4 < So just by replacing the file and rebuilding it into a .exfat or .ffpkg You can use this: https://github.com/quer3q/ps5-dump-forge/releases/tag/v0.5.5

It seems that converting to .ffpfsc fails to load a game. So for safety use either those 2 formats above.

Also make sure to run the newest SM+ https://github.com/drakmor/ShadowMountPlus/actions/runs/42630670050
Older versions do not seem to read LZ4 or ZSTD converted games.

Thus far I had some succes on like 5 games. I'm still experimenting with it. The games I've converted show no signs of stuttering / lagging. LZ4 convertions seem to work better than ZSTD in terms of booting the game. As I mentioned not every game boots when converting, so as a back-up keep your old formatted games and/or folders.

So i have sold my 6.50 phat with 2tb 990pro for 800£. Took out of the closet banned phat on 13.20 put inside 1tb nvme connected 1tb external and set it up with y2jb an esp8266. Its working great so decided to play with zstd to Save some space on external. Alone in the dark after converting with dump forge from folder to zstd folder went down from 68gb to 36gb. God of war ragnarok folder to folder from 180gb to 100gb. I must say im impressed. I didnt notice any stuttering so far. It looks like its a great format.

I would have kept the 2tb 990pro. Might be worth more soon. At this point, I won't be selling any of my extra components for a while. To useful as you might suddenly need extra ssd or Ram. Still have my crucial 64gb SSD (500/100) from Windows 7 Era 😂

did someone tried it ? is it stable and playable without glitches or stutters ? how is the performance ?
I don't know about this one, but I saw some of the eglantine for pc emulation had between 15 and 25 fps during game play. I will look for info about this one., the video looked a lot better than the eglantine 15-25 fps on pc. PS5 had crashing with eglantine, maybe something can come from this that makes it possible to run it smoothly at 60fps on PC and PS5.

Currently building the files so I can test it on my Pro, will let you know once the script finishes since it really takes a while to complete it
RIght, because you could just run it through PS5 linux, or that windows emulator.

How is psbox cloud gaming detected by Microsoft?? If it will be detected as xbox one then we could use it to play GTAVI on jailbroken ps5 day one. Not for free of course 😁
