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 the Bloodborne patch available to download yet or just still a preview showing it is working? I have never ran any of the exploits on my PS5 but with a 60fps patch for BB, I really want to get everything set up. Any guides anyone recomends to follow to get everything all set up and prepped and good to go for my 3.21 ps5? I have BB installed from when it was given for free when I purchased my PS5 so I am hoping that will work however I think I still have the disc somewhere from my PS4.

 

[Adam512]

Why is it in hackers interest, that people buy a ps5 pro? And 2026, by that time i will be 53 LOL hope you are wrong

I also hope that I am wrong and it will be much sooner (perhaps some new vulnerability will appear). It would be great if the PS5 scene was the same as the PS4

Can i activate on 4.03 FW?

Not without updating… maybe a way in future.

 

[RyoX9]

Ps5 firmware 4.03 do remember activating it with my psn id and leaveing it in the box since then hope to see some good stuff soon. Just wondering if i can connect to wifi without losing activation and enable update blocker?

Yes, use AlAzif dns to block updates.

I want to ask, does anyone remember if it was possible to play PS4 games on PS5 when the console came out at the end of 2020? I'm wondering if it's better to buy PS5 Pro or wait for PS6. I have several disc games for PS4/PS5.

Yes, OFW 2.00-2.30 had fixes for ps4 and by proxy ps2 games too.

Via BWE regarding the PS5 2XXX “slim” model:

“I would say its about 5cm or so shorter, not much thinner. Weird curve in the middle with smaller vents. The BD drive is less curved so it looks weird. Has two ugly black slits on each side of the case. Dual USB-C on the front. Stupid embossed ️ on the rear.

Boring ASF.”

A picture may follow soon…

OFW 8.00 beta 4 is now out to testers.

Is the PS5 Ratchet Clank Bundle a CFI-1016A Model on Firmware 2.50 or 3.20 FW?

I have a unopened CFi-1116 PS5 Serial F216...also June 2021 what Firmware is on this PS5,are another people with this Serial?

Maybe it won't even be called Slim, but just PS5 with the option to connect/remove the drive.

BTW: Buy PS5 Slim 2xxx or wait for PS5 Pro? according to the latest reports, the PS5 Pro shouldn't be much more powerful (only slightly more powerful than the current Xbox)

Apparently there is no removable drive and this is definitely not pro.

Pro is always the better purchase, no one knows how powerful it will be until some specs are posted: if it even exists.

Via Pearlxcore regarding the PS5 slim:

“The PS5 Slim design isn't too different; it's like a mix of the PS4 Fat and PS5. When I first saw it, I actually thought it looked kind of ugly , but now I'm okay with the design.”

PlayStation Project CRONOS leaks

This is clearly a big push for Sony

Sony has been working on rebuilding their network architecture for the last 5 years

Their new cloud tech was being built around the PS5 SSD which brought on a new challenge considering how fast it is

Under the Future Technology Group they designed a completely new network storage solution based on PCIe which leverages NTB and the PS5 I/O co-processors

The final product code named “Kura” can read up to 5GB/s with <1 ms of latency

Tom Henderson’s sources said that Sony will have a total of 28 data centers across 15 metros for the PS5 Cloud streaming

Sony’s new cloud tech currently in beta ( the 4K game streaming ) will launch for everyone anytime between now and March 2024

OFW 7.61 is now available.

 

[Fustang]

Is THIS considered a good source to check for the firmware of some models ?

 

[KiiWii]

Is THIS considered a good source to check for the firmware of some models ?

It’s a decent source, I’ve seen it before, but don’t forget it’s ultimately only someone’s word posting on Reddit, and some don’t show date/month/serial as opposed to just model, which has huge overlaps regarding OFW version.

Serial info would be useful, and NSTG is collating that currently.

 

[Adam512]

Apparently there is no removable drive and this is definitely not pro.

Pro is always the better purchase, no one knows how powerful it will be until some specs are posted: if it even exists.

However, it is possible they’re both (badly) describing the same thing, with the ‘slits’ and USB-C slots possibly being attachment points for a disc drive.
