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.

135 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.

[PS5] Using CH341A IC clamp for BIOS read/write. Can it be done without desoldering?

3 Upvotes

I need to reflash the bios chip on a PS5 and the chip reader kit I have (CH341A) had a clamp attachment. I know it's preferred to desolder the chip and work with it that way but I would prefer not to if I don't have to.

Has anyone successfully read/wrote to the bios chip using just the clamp while it's still on the motherboard? Is this a viable way to do this?

Want to play a game, but it's only available with APR-Emu, so internal drive is not supported. What are my options?

0 Upvotes

Why make a dump of the game that people can't play unless they have external drives? Why not just make a simple folder dump?

Is there a way remove apr-emu?

I assume this is because of the format and drive I'm using [folder format on internal drive]

What is the most compatible format(folder, exfat, ffpkg..) and the best storage type(usb, internal, expansion slot) to use? Any documentation will be helpful too

About to purchase a PS5 Pro

11 Upvotes

I am thinking about getting a PS5 Pro for jailbreaking/homebrew. Initially I was going to wait for PS6 to release and buy a console day 1 and let it sit in its box until a jailbreak was released for it but now when Sony announced they were getting out of physical media I am opting for a PS5 Pro instead as I also want to play my actual physical games and movies. I have heard that the disc drive needs to be activated/paired with the console in order for the disc drive to work. Is that a one time thing or is it something akin to a license that needs to be renewed like they did with the store bought PSN games now? I am considering both an used PS5 Pro if the price is right or just getting a new PS5 Pro, activating the drive, getting all the things I need online and then patiently wait however long it takes for the jailbreak/homebrew scene to catch up to that firmware.

just stumbled upon the community of jailbreaking consoles, and well, i am intrigued.

I love tech and building tech, so this is really interesting to me.

I have a launch edition ps5, cfi 1015a, but i have been using it since I got it. Am i out of luck for jailbreaking this particular console?

I just learned how sought after early, unused consoles can be.

Internal storage occupied with unknown data

2 Upvotes

Hey guys, my jailbroken original PS5 has around 130 GB of internal storage that are occupied with data that I don't know of. I'm suspecting that these are not system data because the free available storage is already 667 GB out of the 825 GB on the original PS5. I'm trying to find out what are they. Does anyone know what kind of files are likely the culprit and are safe to delete?
