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!

If you were on FW 4.5 without Okage, what would be your bet and why:
a. wait or
b. upgrade to the latest FW and Buy Okage?
c. Other?

Pretty sure patience (a) is the safest bet but asking here just in case I am missing the bigger picture and significance of recent developments (https://mccaulay.co.uk/mast1c0re-part-3-escaping-the-emulator/).

Don't update. Play PS2 games on your PC. Not worth ruining future full exploit access.

The PS2 emulator exploit (mast1c0re) might be how you get full exploit access.

 

[Newhouse-Estates]

Maybe for the PS4. Still, wouldn't you want to wait for some more info or for a full jb before updating? :S

 

[solitaire4eva]

Seeing as they just release the VRR update, I just caved and updated. Pretty pointless to be on 4.03 even if it is hackable. They would need to hack a higher firmware anyway to backport the games.

Maybe for the PS4. Still, wouldn't you want to wait for some more info or for a full jb before updating? :S

I agree 100%. Unless Somy got rid of all the PS2 games, there shouldn't be a rush to upgrade to the latest firmware on PS5. Most people also have a PS4 these days so no need to rush.

Might have to try this some time, since I bought okage on psn a while back.

 

[Seraphic]

This PS2 exploit on PS5 exploit will most likely come to those who have PS5 systems on really low firmware?

I think only if you own a ps2 game from psn.

 

[smf]

You longer you wait, the higher your firmware will end up.

A new PS5 model is likely out soon though, so maybe worth buying another and getting a PS2 game on it.

 

[godreborn]

Off topic, I guess, but those games that came out for ps5 yesterday--a friend told me the legend of dragoon and harvest moon were redeemable, if bought on ps3, but wild arms 2 wasn't. Also, the legend of dragoon suffers from crashes. How could Sony release shit that's unstable? It's just like star ocean 3, still sold years later when it's virtually unplayable.

Yup, iv been a fan of dragoon since it first came out, aside from the obvious graphical and audio glitches, the game hangs then crashes when using dragoon magic.

Had to make my first youtube video because of how annoyed I was.

my friend said that they've fixed bugs in classics' games before, but who knows really? it's sony produced though, from what I remember, so there's probably a higher degree of it being fixed. so3, I think square-enix produced, was never fixed after like a decade. apparently, it was fucked up on the original ps2 as well.

The disc run fine for so3 but they have an antipiracy/anticheat built into it so running it on dvd copy would lockup but thanks to some dev for openps2loader (OPL) that was fixed. At least it worked for me from beginning to end on ps2 back when I was a tester.

I don't remember it happening to me either, but a friend said that the ps2 has the same problem, just less common. the classics' version is virtually unplayable. I mean you could be playing for an hour or two, then it crashes. not worth the frustration imo.

If the ps2 thing does materialize into something, it would suck to be one of those idiots who spent a thousand dollars on a ps5 with low firmware. I mean if piracy was the main goal, the person jumped the gun way too early.

Yeah I know, too bad I already platinumed the game lol.
However im glad they cared enough to fix it, Great game!
