First BD-J + Kernel access exploit provided by Sleirsgoevy (29/9/22)

Note: Though there are three USERLAND exploits and one KERNEL exploit, there are no public HYPERVISOR exploits available to complete the full exploit chain. A hypervisor exploit was rumoured to be held in private that only works on <3.00 firmware, and recently Flatz confirmed he has developed his own 2.50 HV exploit (kept private) which was chained from a PS4 save game, and has successfully dumped PlayStation Secure Processor (27/07/23).

Spoiler: Hacking Timeline

As of August 4th 2022: We can now install PS4/PS5 PKG games and updates (and by extension FPKGs) however official PKGs cannot be run unless you legitimately owned them previously digitally and have a licence for them on your current console, or if you own the disc (for update pkgs).

As of October 6th PS4 FPKG can be played on 4.03 OFW thanks to Sliersgoevy FPKG enabler!

Payload: https://gbatemp.net/download/4-03-fpkg-enabler-hen.38248/

As of October 21st PS4 FPKG can be played on 4.50 thanks to cheburek3000 porting offsets.

Payload: https://gbatemp.net/download/4-50-fpkg-enabler-hen.38279/

As of October 25th theflow0 fixes BD-J path traversal and native code execution for 7.61
https://x.com/theflow0/status/1717088032031982066?s=46&t=PIYQV4jmWEyCbVfx3Nx26g

As of November 4th ktuff is fixed for 4.51:

Payload: https://gbatemp.net/download/fpkg-enabler-4-51-hen.38306/

Nov 7th PS5 backups loaded via Itemzflow by Lightningmodz and Echostretch. Fully decrypted dumps require system files bundled into them in order to run without crashing with Libhijacker (no hen required), details here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/ps5-exploit-guide.613891/page-109#post-10290677

As of November 30th ps5debug has been released by SiSTR0: https://github.com/GoldHEN/ps5debug
Mirror: https://gbatemp.net/download/ps5debug.38333/

Dec 1st: first PS5 trainer (Dark Souls) is completed ready for the imminent release of REAPER Multi Trainer II by CTN.

Dec 25th: PS5 back up loading via ITEMZFLOW now released: https://pkg-zone.com/details/ITEM00001

As of Jan 2nd 2024 Sleirsgoevy has ported K-Stuff offsets for 3.xx firmwares.

As of Jan 4th 2024 LM had added 3.XX Kstuff to Itemzflow meaning 3.XX-4.51 is now supported for PS4/PS5 backups and dumping.

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 it out for hacks.

If you are on 1.XX-2.XX do not update at all, it may take years but HV exploit exists in private for this firmware range.
If you are on 3.XX-4.02: the advice is to update to 4.03, but don’t be tempted to update to 4.51 yet.

3: PS5 FPKGs won’t work as HEN and HV/kernel patches do not publicly exist for PS5 content yet.

4: Installing legit game PKGs you do not own will not work, even if spoofed.

5: If you get stuck in a boot loop at the PS logo, this means the SNVS is corrupted (if hash check fails on boot this causes a “soft brick”).

It’s not “bricked”, just reinstall your current firmware RECOVERY PUP in safe mode!

Is it possible to know fw from ASIN CODE: B0B11RR7TC ?

I don’t think so because they are generated as Amazon gets the stock.

 

[darthnater4ever]

The only one in U.S. when I searched 4.03 is $1399 starting bid lmao.

It's a little hard but you could still find launch and old PS5s on ebay by just looking for sealed boxes. The key is looking at the model number in the pictures and messaging the seller asking for a picture of it if it's not shown. If you include a firmware version in your search the seller knows what they have and it'll be more expensive.
If they're small sellers a lot of time they don't know what they got. That's how I got my launch disc edition PS5 for retail price. It was listed as sealed and in the description he said he got it day one launch.
Just keep your eyes peeled and check daily so you're the first to see it.

I can tell you it's a Horizon FW bundle in the UK, but I guess you probably already know that. I think there was a list in this thread somewhere that showed manufacturing dates and some Horizon FW bundles were compatible and some weren't.

I have to wait until the end of January to get a PS5 and I'm still undecided on getting one that's hackable or one that can play Final Fantasy VII Rebirth original copy because it comes out late February. Right now the compatibility list essentially is 12 PS5 games and most of them crash and I'm not interested in any of them anyway. So honestly people are getting hyped a bit prematurely unless they don't have a PS4 IMO. But I do expect it to improve. For both PS3 and PS4 I bought legit games for most of their cycle then towards the end there were better hacks and then I played backups I will probably do the same with PS5.

Just make sure to ask the staff at whatever store you go, to look and find older PS5 boxes hanging out in the back. I asked the lady to look in the back at my local pharmacy and she pulled out a CFI-1115A...so you never know what they have in the back store and it really doesn't hurt to ask.

Your pharmacy is selling PS5 consoles? Great medical care!

Looks like native PS5 backups run now as well.
There were "concerns" that only PS5 demos or PS4 games with PS5 support/updates were running with whatever method LM came up.

EDIT: Or not....

 

[KiiWii]

@FR0ZN I wonder if each game needs an individual fix. Like the Matrix demo having DRM, perhaps each game needs a small crack style patch in order to not crash?

 

[Paiky]

Can we dump unencrypted eboots with itemzflow? (from 4.51 games)

 

[KiiWii]

Yes, and if not use FTP with decryption from PFS mount.

 

[Paiky]

oh, is this new? I hadn't seen any PFS with the libhijacker payload last month. I'll take a look later, thanks!

it would be good to either fix everything so everything is playable or create another much simpler method I have no doubt that it will happen one day

Let's be honest. Now there are a lot of great PS4 games we can play, but how many pure PS5 games we waiting to play backups that is a must play? I count 2-3 tops sadly

If you mean that are on 4.xx firmware I count 0. I want Final Fantasy Rebirth, Spider-man 2 and Star Wars Jedi Survivor. Those are the only reason I want a PS5 at all and FF Rebirth isn't out until Feb 27th.

However we're just 3 years in and they're already beginning to stop porting PS5 games on PS4 so there will be more down the road no doubt.

Correct they have stop porting PS5 games to PS4 nowadays, for example Final Fantasy 16, Forspoken only got PS5 release. Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores DLC only got PS5 version.

You are right....im undecided too how to do,especially cause,as not for PS4, i would wait for PSV PRO....

exclusivity on PS5 is only three months for the FF Rebirth game, then it will be released on other platforms as well... Sony doesn't have many exclusives anymore that would be permanently only on PlayStation.

I'm aware but my PC is getting to where it can't play the newest games that are just coming out it's a GTX 1650 a few years old with no ray tracing and I don't plan to get a new one and I don't have an Xbox Series X and not interested. So I plan to get it on PS5 when I get one. Star Wars Jedi Survivor is also on PC and I wouldn't be surprised if they port Spider-man 2 to PC after 18 months but again can't play those. I don't think we'll be playing those as PS5 backups anytime soon either so I plan to just buy a PS5 and update it I'll worry about backups towards the end of the cycle of the PS5.
