PS5 OFW 3.xx runs PS4 games up to 8.50
PS5 OFW 4.xx runs PS4 games up to 9.00
PS4 backported FPKGs work perfectly on PS5.
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).
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!

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!
