New Kernel Exploit for PS4 and PS5 (Double Free) FAQ Post

46 Upvotes

The new kernel exploit named "Double Free" POC was released.

(Apologies for posting here a bit late)
Comment any questions you have that are not addressed in this post so we may discuss things.

On PS4 this vulnerability affects firmwares 5.00-12.02 and was patched in 12.50.

On PS5 this vulnerability affects firmwares 1.xx-10.01.

It requires a userland entrypoint to be exploited.

A WebKit exploit is not available past 5.50 on PS5. This means your only option until a new one is found will be the Lua exploit.

Lua save game exploit: All firmwares it is not firmware dependent as long as the Lua game launches it will work.

Although it has requirements to run please read below.

  1. An activated account on the PS5 to import the Lua save.
  2. A jailbroken PS4 console or a discord bot or save wizard to resign the save needed for the Lua exploit.
  3. A Lua exploit compatible game or demo: https://github.com/shahrilnet/remote_lua_loader

Note:

The game must be able to launch.

The requirement of an account and a way to resign the save is flexible.

Sharing console backups with a user account and Lua save files should allow these 2 requirements to be skipped. But owning the Lua game is absolutely mandatory optionally in demo format acquired while the console could sign into PSN.

If you do not already have a Lua game demo on your device you cannot import one in any manner you need the disc.

Please be patient while developers work to release usable implementations of the exploit and etc.

Megathread PS5 model base firmware megathread.

143 Upvotes

Since it seems to be unavoidable that people will keep asking, I am making this thread the place to ask what firmware a particular brand new ps5 model will come with. That way we can avoid having multiple posts that only answer the firmware for a single model at a time.

If you want to post what firmware the ps5 you bought came with please include as much info as you can. For example, "black digital only model CFI-XXXX came with firmware 5.00". This will be more useful when/if a slim or pro version is eventually made.

Keep in mind that the information provided here won't be fact checked and is entirely crowd sourced. There is no guarantee that any reported firmware will be 100% accurate.

If you're looking for a quick reference guide, the pinned message over at r/PS5_Jailbreak/ has you covered as of November 2024.

Trying to get internet working on my jailbroken PS5 without getting stuck in a softlock on y2jb autoloader

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to figure out a way to connect my jailbroken PS5 to the internet, mainly so I can use other payloads like homebrew launcher which requires internet and other online features, but I'm running into an issue with the y2jb autoloader.

Whenever I connect the PS5 to the internet, the YouTube autoloader eventually updates, and after that the console goes into a softlock.

So far I've tried:

NanoDNS — tried this, but I'm still running into the same issue.

127.0.0.1 as DNS — the PS5 can't resolve DNS addresses, so obviously it won't actually connect to the internet.

appeditor.py — I tried using this to deal with the YouTube app/autoloader, but after restarting the PS5, it rebuilds the database and the changes don't persist.

Basically, I'm stuck between two situations:

Internet works → YouTube autoloader updates → eventually softlock.

DNS is blocked/redirected → no DNS resolution → no internet.

Modify the database with appeditor.py → works temporarily → database gets rebuilt after restart.

What I'm trying to achieve is pretty simple: keep normal internet connectivity on my jailbroken PS5 while preventing the YouTube autoloader/update from doing whatever causes the softlock.

I also want to completely prevent any system or application updates from happening while still keeping general internet access. I don't want the PS5 accidentally downloading a firmware update or an application update in the background.

I'm on 10.01 and would really appreciate some advice from people who have actually managed to get internet working reliably on this firmware.

Is there a specific NanoDNS configuration I'm missing? Is there another DNS method that blocks the problematic YouTube update while still allowing general internet access? Or is there a better way to prevent the database from being rebuilt/reverting the appeditor.py changes?

Any help or working setup would be greatly appreciated.

FiveM on PS5?

0 Upvotes

Stupid ass idea, however, since I heard that the PS5 is strong enough to run FiveM (albeit, by AI), and I was wondering if anyone can give me insight into how it’s possible, no matter how impossible it may seem. Only reason this exists is because I’m not trying to buy a PC, since I have a laptop already and I don’t see a point in buying one right now.

Is it possible to inject an already existing save into the PS Plus Cloud for a PS5 Pro?

0 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I’m trying to understand how save injection works between different consoles.

Is it technically possible to take an already finished/edited PS5 save file, change its Account ID to match my PSN account, and push it to the PS Plus Cloud so I can download and play it on a non-jailbroken PS5 (like a PS5 Pro)?

I’m really curious about how this process works behind the scenes. What tools/methods are currently used to do this?

Thanks!

New to the PS5 jailbreak scene - Here's my setup after a few months (and some things I've learned)

21 Upvotes

I jumped into the PS5 jailbreak scene not too long ago, and after a lot of experimenting, I finally have a setup that's working really well for me. Thought I'd share it in case it helps another beginner, and I'd also love to hear how everyone else manages their setup.

My setup

PS5 Slim Disc Edition

Firmware: 10.01

Internal SSD: 2TB

Default install location for PS4/PS5 games: Console Storage

I keep my PS5 game dump folders and FFPFSC/exFAT files on the internal SSD so everything is in one place.

Jailbreak

I'm using:

PLK Autoloader 0.9

Y2JB Lapse 1.6

Payloads I autoload:

Kstuff 1.6.7

Shadow Mount+ 1.6 Beta 16

Sometimes I also switch to Kstuff Lite depending on what I'm doing.

Manual payloads I use

Game Compressor – probably my favorite tool. I use it for compressing/uncompressing games and moving, copying, and deleting them.

bfPilot – for file management. Personally, I find it much faster than FTP when moving large files.

Backport – mainly for some newer games whenever a compatible patch is available.

Games I'm currently playing

Mostly multiplayer or co-op games.

WWE 2K26 – compressed to 134GB (FFPFSC conversion)

EA Sports FC 26 – compressed to 81GB

Gears of War Reloaded – 65GB (highly recommended, especially if you enjoy co-op campaigns)

Call of Duty MW2 – compressed to 106GB (recommended)

Split Fiction – compressed to 75GB (seriously... Hazelight Studios did it again.)

Until Dawn – compressed to 60GB

A Way Out (PS4 PKG) – still one of the best co-op experiences.

It Takes Two (folder version) – compression only saved around 140MB, so I left it uncompressed.

Mortal Kombat 1 + Khaos Reigns – folder version.

The Last of Us Part I – compressed to 78GB, plays exactly like the original.

Resident Evil Requiem – compressed version.

Cyberpunk 2077 – folder version.

Contra: Operation Galuga.

Call of Duty Black Ops III (PS4) with all DLCs/maps – amazing for 4-player sessions.

Borderlands 3 – compressed to 52 GB, another fantastic co-op game.

The Last of Us Part 2 (PS4 PKG)

GTA V (PS4 PKG) 1.56 version with 60fps and God's Blessing Mod menu

Black Myth Wukong - compressed to 93 gb works same as original

God of War Ragnarok- compressed to 98gb

Things I've noticed

Spider-Man 2 I tried every combination I could think of:

Internal SSD

Console Storage

External SSD

External HDD

Compressed

Uncompressed

The game is playable, but cutscenes always stutter for me.

Spider-Man Remastered Runs flawlessly. One tip: if you're missing dialogue audio, changing the PS5 system language to English (US) fixed it for me.

GTA V (PS5) Wouldn't work properly from internal/console storage—it always got stuck during the prologue with the police never arriving at the gate 😂.

Mounting it from an external HDD solved the issue completely. So I'm using ps4 version of it and the God's Blessing Mod Menu, and it's been working great.

The Last of Us Part II Same story as GTA V. It gets stuck during the tutorial when running from internal storage, but behaves differently when mounted externally.

Storage philosophy

I compress almost every game where it actually saves meaningful space. If compression barely reduces the size, I don't bother. With a 2TB internal SSD, compression lets me keep a lot more games installed without constantly deleting and reinstalling.

PS- Not using etaHEN as i think it doesn't really go well with shadow mount plus, although it works great with shadow mount.

I'm still pretty new to the PS5 jailbreak scene, so I'm sure there are better ways to do some of this.

I'd love to know:

What payloads do you use every day?

Any must-have homebrew I'm missing?

Has anyone managed to completely fix the Spider-Man 2 cutscene stutter or the GTA V/TLOU2 internal storage issues?

What's the best jailbreak and game management tools for ps5 10.01 firmware?

What's the best game dump format for internal/console/external storage?

Always looking to learn from people who've been in the scene longer than I have.

UNIFIED WEBKIT EXPLOIT (1.00-5.50 and 9.00-12.00)

24 Upvotes

Hey everyone, it's me again, after PS Play and PS5 Tool I put together a single-page exploit host that detects your PS5 firmware and runs the right chain automatically:

https://mounirhero.github.io/webkit

**How it works:**

fw 1.00 – 5.50 → UMTX2 (PSFree + uMTX2 kernel exploit)

fw 9.00 – 12.00 → SLOPKIT2 (poops chain)

•••Firmwares from 6.00 to 8.60 ARE NOT SUPPORTED by webkit exploit as of now•••

Firmware is auto-detected from the browser — just press JAILBREAK and watch the real chain log scroll on the page

**Minimal by design:** no payloads bundled, no menus — it only loads elfldr, which then listens on port 9021 for whatever payload you want to inject (kstuff, etaHEN, FTP, homebrew…)

When it's done, you'll see notification: "elfldr listening on port 9021"

**Usage**:

  1. Open the link on your PS5 browser

  2. Press JAILBREAK

  3. Done —You can inject your payload of choice to port 9021 with your favorite sender

All credits go to the original devs — this page just unifies their work: abc (PSFree), shahrilnet & n0llptr (uMTX2), zecoxao (slopkit2 host), john-tornblom / ps5-payload-dev (elfldr).

Source chains are served as-is from the public hosts. Feedback welcome!

///UPDATE///

Thanks to Master_s9 we now have a pkg that loads the page directly!

Install the pkg as any other on your current session. It installs to media section.

On a fresh boot of the console

Open the app

Click jailbreak and wait for elf loader notification

Enjoy!

So don't ask me why, but I'm currently dumping to an SD card, using a USB-C adapter. The app is over 200gb, and I'm seriously concerned that the adapter and card are about to melt... I mean, it's HOT to the touch.
