Hello everyone, I experienced a crash yesterday on my jailbroken PS5 (Firmware 12.70) and, having no other option, I was forced to perform a factory reset. I am still on Firmware 12.70, but in order to jailbreak again, I need to have an activated account—and like an idiot, I unfortunately didn't create a backup beforehand. Can any of you help me out? Does anyone perhaps know where I could download a backup for Firmware 12.70 that already has a dummy account activated? I would be grateful for any help or solutions! Unfortunately, I can't go online right now; if I were to try, it would likely trigger an automatic firmware update the moment I signed into PSN. I would really appreciate it if you guys had a solution for how I could get this working again. Greetz kozure

PS5 FW 12.70 Jailbreak Tutorial

Since text tutorials are apparently dead, we are all supposed to watch 3 different YouTube videos weeks apart to figure out what to do, and this is still cutting edge stuff, I figured I’d put together a tutorial on how I’m successfully Jailbreaking my PS5 on 12.70 FW. I’ve been: Watching Netflix (the one for NetflixNHax). Somehow the PS5 installed the latest update for this Netflix pkg while Jailbroken and it made it work. Watching Youtube (No-PSN PKG). Didn’t let any updates get applied to this one as it works fine. Playing Neir: Automata (PS4 backup .pkg). Playing Pragmata (PS5 backup, game folder dump). Running homebrew (PS5 XPlorer .pkg). https://alex-free.github.io/ps5-jb-12.70fw-tutorial/

Hey everyone! I've been working on a native macOS tool for backporting PS5 game dumps and wanted to share it with the community.

What is it?
PS5 MacPork is a free, open source macOS app that handles the complete backport pipeline in one click.

What it does:

Converts FSELF → ELF automatically
Installs fakelibs (primary + fallback folder support)
SDK version downgrade
libc.prx compatibility patch
Re-signs patched ELFs back to fake SELF format
Creates a timestamped backup before touching anything
Remembers your folder settings between sessions

Supports: FW 4.xx, 5.xx, 6.xx and 7.xx targets

Confirmed working games:

Rugrats
TMNT
Shadows of the Damned
Metal Slug Tactics
Gex Trilogy
Worms Armageddon
Absolum
Bum Simulator
And more!

Known limitation:Unity engine games requiring FW 12.xx are pending APR emu support. Once available, MacPork's output should boot seamlessly.
