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!

the thing that bothers me the most is trophies. I didn't play much with the ps3 or ps4, so my trophies acquired is small. knowing that I can never sync them probably makes it works, because it's like I never had any presence in the ps4 or ps5 scenes. I'm thinking about playing tales of zesteria next after marsupilami or maybe even tales of graces f as I have a superslim for free that's never been on hen. I've grown fond of trophies, mostly because it shows you what you've missed in the game. I don't care about the mine is bigger than yours bullshit, but I like them. I'd probably play more of the switch if it had some sort of achievement system.

I really don't care about them myself. I just usually ignore them even have pop-up off but to each there own. I played plenty of games with out them until 2013 so maybe that's why.

it's not the end all and be all of the system, but the way I see it, is that it's something that comes with you with every generation, even the system doesn't have bc, it's still there.

As long as S#ny or other gaming company when discontinue online service for a system don't decide to remove trophies for that discontinue system. I know unlikely but if they want to keep selling remake and remastered on next generation who knows if they will keep like ps3 trophies for ps6 or late ps5

 

[godreborn]

well, the ps3 scene and the system itself is the worst I've ever been involved with. who the fuck even cares about the pos3 anymore, seriously?

 

[Randqalan]

That was an example could happen to any system like ps4 when ps6 comes out especially if they go back to no bc like jump from ps3 to ps4.
I do agree about ps3 being removed because of fake trophies anyway.

I don't think that will happen. there are some people who live for trophies, and with that being said, Nintendo continues to fuck up. I actually considered buying the definitive edition of dragon quest xi on the ps4 just because the switch version has no trophies. it's kinda boring this way imo.

I have DQ xi definitive for ps4 bought it right after ban. Haven't played it much though.

it's a good game, though, I wouldn't say it's the best dragon quest I've ever played.

Added a little info to the OP about the rumoured 2.50 HV exploit, apparently it exists in PRIVATE, though it has been disclosed and was apparently patched at around 4.00 FW…

At least its showing its possible to disable HV blindly and remember failoverflow might have HV for 4.03 that we will never see thats the pup they got full control over of how they did it who knows 1 would think they had to disable HV to do so but who knows how it was really achieved buy them ..Im prob gonna update my 4.03 dont really want to play the cat n mouse game years to come if this is not for 4.03 I give up on waiting

Yeah I gave up today so I could update and play God Of War Ragnarok. I'm tired of this cat and mouse game, my PS5 has been sat unused for like a year, I might as well actually get some use out of it.

I started off blocking updates. not sure why I just decided to update. I didn't have any games that needed it. however, I remember one bug where the system software would crash. sony fixed that bug at some point, but it was annoying. it was a message that popped up coming back from rest mode. though, I don't think it kicked you out of the game. it was mainly something for users to worry about. after that update, I no longer receive the message. that might've been one reason. they also now have ways to group games, just like the switch. no folders unfortunately, just something similar.

Same here. I'll likely just end up buying a 2nd one when prices aren't as ridiculous and exploits have had time to mature. There's not much point being an early adopter for exploits, unless you're a developer. I'd love to get into developing PS5 homebrew but I can just learn on the PS4 until then.

 

[godreborn]

since I don't get much money per month, I spend the majority of it on games, which are cheap compared to a lot of other things. that may have been part of the reason I just updated. my system, I think, was have on 3.x.x firmware when I got it. one thing sony may do with the ps6, hopefully not, but the series s/x requires you to update to the latest firmware during the boot up for the first time process. that could really fuck people over if sony ever does the same.

btw, somewhat off topic, but people have been getting suspended on xbox live for sharing videos of emulators on retail mode. it's not a ban, but rather a suspension, so I turned that off (it's enabled by default). I read this on gamr's discord iirc.
