PS4 Latest PS4 Jailbreaks Developments - Now convert games up to 6.72 to be playable on 5.05 FW

The PS4 has been heating up lately thanks to the bounty that developer TheFlow was able to win and also has allowed for disclosure of his discovered bug. The discovered bug allows for a kernel exploit for firmware upto 7.02 (patched in 7.50), However this needs a public webkit (entry point) which are usually easier to obtain then a kernel exploit itself, so we should eventually see one arise for 7.02 but in the meantime developer Fire30 has already released a 6.72 webkit entry point several months ago. So this is why 6.72 is being talked about more then 7.02 as the next step to 5.05 we already have all the pieces its just putting together the puzzle and connecting them all together.

There is a 6.72 Jailbreak (by sleirsgoevy) out in the wild, we have not covered it much due to the fact in its debut state and even in the current state (after some commit updates) its quite buggy / unstable and looks to be rushed to release therefore lacking some testing prior to the exploit going public. The developer did warn it may take upto 10 attempts but some4 user have not got to work at all or had many more attempts some had less . Just is not the best thing for an exploit debut as its not something to blindly install or if your just getting into PS4 jailbreaking to use on your console. (if interested here is the gihub page but be warned its quite buggy in current state and advised to stay on 5.05 at this time). Hopefully it improves in time as it seems work is being done but since its advised to stay on 5.05 still at this time We have. some new guides and information that have been released pertaining how to backport (downgrade) your games firmware requirement to be playable on 5.05 until we see a stable 6.72 jailbreak, if your games require a higher firmware (up to 6.72) then developer @flatz (released Scripts) and then developer @zecoxao (tutorial) has perhaps provided a solution that works for you as the devs provide a wayto play your content on 5.05 that otherwise could not boot, so you do not need to update yet (until a stable jailbreak arises) and can still play your newer games you purchased.. In time we should see some automated tools (update see link): to make this an easier task for noobs who may not be comfortable with this method quite yet.

  Backporting instructions, for those who wish to play 6.72 games on 5.05

  Instructions on how to backport
  
  • Step 1: The eboot
    • Unfself it and use readelf -a on it~
    • you should see this section
    • LOOS+0x1000010 0x00000000063c4000 0x0000000006400000 0x0000000006400000
    • 0x000000000083a100 0x000000000083a100 R 0x4000
    • Example for final fantasy vii remake demo
    • Align it upwards from 0x200000 bytes on 2nd Memsize, like so:
    • LOOS+0x1000010 0x00000000063c4000 0x0000000006400000 0x0000000006400000
    • 0x000000000083a100 0x0000000000a00000 R 0x4000
    • Then search for the SDK Version in ORBI Place, for example in ff7r eboot the offset is at 0x6c00010
    • 01 00 05 05 <- correct sdk version
    • Then at the bottom of the eboot you can find the elf build name
    • PATHH���D���c:/j/workspace/B/b_BuPS4M/cw/End/Binaries/PS4/End-PS4-Shipping.self
    • After the PATH and name patch every single instance
    • 05 05 00 01
  • Step 2: The modules
    • These are easy, at the bottom there's an sdk version
    • 05 05 00 01
    • Near end of module
    • Specifically for some modules, an extra step needs to be done:
    • Search for 18 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 BF F4 13 3C 01 00 00 00
    • After there is sdk version, patch it
    • 01 00 05 05
    • Some modules are also linked with others modules
    • Again at bottom
    • PATH0���*���C:/devel/projects/bink/build/Bink2PS4.prx
    • After
    • 05 05 00 01
    • Every single instance
    Step 3: The Param.sfo
    • This one is the most simple
    • sdk_ver=
    • After this put
    • 05050001
    • ASCII values
    • Then there is a hidden one
    • Before the game's name
    • put
    • 00 00 05 05
  • This completes backporting

  A tip from developer @Joonie Via Twitter
  

  https://psdevwiki.com/ps4/Talk:Error_Codes
  if you're getting an error that is related to "SCE_NP_TROPHY_ERROR_" then check your trophy file to see if that's decrypted on your dump, this is very common for those games that require 6.7x.

  
  Pro Tip from @joonie
  

  Protip: You can override region on decima engine :P (The same method was used for Horizon Zero Dawn while back when the game was back ported to 4.05)

I heard that games on 5.05 need to be updated to work with 6.72 jb
First of all is this true? I haven't updated yet and still waiting patiently for a stable release with tools and ect.
my problem is that all my disk games are at grandmas (aka mother in law) and the only disk I can find here is beat to crap (hints why at grandmas) and the console wont read it. Is there a way I can get it to work? I have seen/read so many post on twitter that my head is spun and lost lol. I would hate to update and loose all that hard work and time I spent dumping 50 some games. It was a headache to be honest.
is my only option to backport these new games to 5.05 when they come in the mail(eBay is great for cheap games). death stand will be here this Monday and have been wanting to play for a while. Or should I just keep waiting and maybe a tool will address this issue?
what are my options? Like I said I'm spun lol and way too many tweets.
That's why I come to here, you guys have always rocked. thanx in advance

 

@pinky
Just thought if I even try to update with retail disk it download the latest update which is usually current firmware.
So it is confirmed they don't work on 6.72. don they boot at least or straight up error?
Dam there's goes another week of biting nails and staring at the status bar.
So hypothetically of course....
God of war for example.
I dumped it in 4hrs lol, and it works on 5.05 right.(I know it does) when I update to 6.72 and play GOW it will error. If I "download" it like mentioned above, it will still be for 5.05, so how would it work? From what I remember it's the same as a fpkg like my dumps are. Or would it have to be dumped on 6.72 to work correctly?
Your attention is appreciated, thank you again pinky

 

wow 4 hours! final fantasy x took me 2 hours to dump all the way to installing pkg. I think every spell is individually encrypted like they are on the ps3, so it takes a while.

I don't know enough about 6.72, but it sounds like a lot of things don't work. however, it's the only way to dump new games, so it's a catch 22.

 

just bumped into this,these are RETAIL updates from Sony but firmware specified and options to select firmware are available.
https://ps4patches.com/

"When you click on any download link on the site, you are redirected to a PlayStation server. We do not (and never will) mirror these files."

4hrs might be a exaggeration lol but it took a hot minute..
yes it is a catch 22.. im going to more patient and see what develops in the next few months.
guess i could go to the mother inlaws house and pick them up and update that way, but still seems that you have to dump the game regardless again regardless. and if i want to try backporting i still have to update.

yeah, I learned about that site from leeful recently. it has official pkgs, so they can be installed, but they won't work unless you own the game disc or license. you can then dump them, but dumping won't work unless on 6.72 if it requires higher than 5.05 and 6.72 or less. it's a good site to get the latest patch usable while also seeing what firmware they take.

 

@pinky
"godreborn"?

 

yes, that's me.

 

you can now use my tool to do this all for you all you need is the pkg file

so no need to extract pkg separately? all in AIO? i just got 1.8 but havent tried, still wondering how to get my 5.05 fpkg's to work if i update lol

it uses original pkg file now extracts it, mods the files, repacks it and gives you new pkg file... enjoy!

 

problem being you can't dump the game on 5.05, so no package file.

 

Moddedwafre made a video last night about this same subject.

 

I talked to my uncle and apparently he has a PS4 that he hasn't used in at least a year if not more. He got it to play tlou. What's crazy is that he's almost 80 lol. he said I could borrow his console, so hopefully the gods are with me. If so once my games get here I'll test this out.
btw it's nice to see you back @RiPPERD
Always enjoyed tour work and for all the help you give out and tour attitude about it.

 

I hacked my PlayStation 4 console My previous PlayStation 4 console firmware was 6.0.0 and I updated it to firmware 6.72 I have not yet installed any games on my console to see how I run it in a few days I install the game to see how it runs. The important thing is that sometimes my console shuts down! And I do not know if the game will be turned off or not, and I do not know what the game is like in Firmo 5.05, but I think it is the same in Firmware 5.05? And another point is that after each shutdown, when we turn on the console again, we have to go online and hack the console again, it is not like the PlayStation 3 console to be hacked offline

Thanks to all the developers there are many people who do not have access to firmware 5.05 and their PlayStation 4 console with firmware 6.0.0. Or 7.0.0 has been updated. What I want to know is whether there will be a custom firmware installed on the PlayStation 4 console or not.

 

shutdown is normal. it's a kernel panic. it's much more prevalent on 6.72 from what I've heard. it's unlikely there will ever be cfw unless sony really f'd up.

 

The file size of PlayStation 4 games is very large, and if there is an unauthorized online game store for PlayStation 4, it is better because it is very difficult to download games and transfer them to PlayStation 4. I am trying to download a game. And it will take a very long time to install it on the PlayStation 4

Thanks for answering my questions

 

might be using usb 2.0. usb 3.0 -- the cables are blue inside the base/head. that's how you can tell the cable. I'm not sure about the hdd. there's a certain connection that's for usb 3.0, but usb 3.0 can be a printer cable or a normal usb cable as well. like I said, you can tell by the color inside of it.

 

That's why I bought a Toshiba four tb usc3 external hard drive

I have not yet used the new external hard drive we bought to know what it will look like.

 

@Arash_receiver
Yep like pinky said, it's a "panic" attack. It will just shutdown, and you have to run exploit again. It also can happen when try to load to many bins or payloads. I think it's safe to don3 but anymore than that it will panic. Try also using the ps button instead of circle.
