PS4 PS4 6.20 kernel Exploit Coming Soon ? TheFlow says " don‘t update past 6.20 if you want a kxploit"

It appears that TheFlow0 a very well know PS Vita developer/hacker who developed exploits like h-encore & Trinity and homebrew applications such as VitaShell for the PS Vita, has now been exploring the PS4.The developer has made a suggestion to the PS4 Community, as the dev advises anyone who is staying on lower ps4 firmware's in hopes for an exploit should not update past 6.20 Firmware, that got some attention as that could be the next fully exploited firmware that arises on the PlayStation 4. We have seen the release of multiple 6.20 WebKit exploits in the public (seen here from Specterdev (patched in 6.50) and then also Fire30 subsequently with another (different webkit entry) seen here (patched in 6.72)) which these two webkit exploits are the first piece, typically servings as a "foot in the door" or "entry point" for additional explorations / execution of potentials like a kernel exploits once (if) discovered.. TheFlow0's recent tweets (as outlined below) suggest he may of found that next piece in the all important kxploit and that means we may be graduating to 6.20 from 5.05 in the near future. However, this is still a bit early as the dev is just now getting his hands on the actual hardware to put his confident theories to the test (it appears, however he had confirmed (?) some discovery or theories with the latest tweet). This developer/hacker is very talented and well known so there is confidence among many of the claims made are positive steps forward. Stay tuned to the story as this develops, the developer is likely to give some additional progress reports in the future on his official twitter linked below, and we will keep you posted about any news that rolls out pertaining to what appears to be an advancement in the PS4 community that has been seeing a rise in development..

@ade23554 It was pointless question because You know the same as we know, and we know what author of this twit say. So, well, let's say facts, are that he has already exploited PS4 on 6.20. And we can believe him because he is one the big brain of PSP (as total n00b if I remember correct) and Vita scene.

What he will do with it we don't know, probably he will release it. Probably he will exploit newer firmwares. Probably he will also release it. Probably.

Ok , thanks

 

...im on 6.0......
Should i stay there or update to 6.20...
...by the way where can i find a 6.20 update...im affraid that if i download one i could be a fake and mess up my whole deal...

the update will most likely appear in kiiwii's thread on temp. that's where I got the 5.05 update anyway. he should have both normal and recovery. as per your other question, I'd stay where you are for now, just in case.

Once it will be hacked and released to public, author will share tell us checksums of this specific version of OFW. So You will find it easily, don't worry.

The only thing which currently could happen to You is installing higher version number than You thinking downloading. You cannot install any of hacked firmware which i.e could destroy Yours PS4 because we cannot forge our own fw package. So in this manner, You are safe.

But anyway, it is not wise to update yet. Stay where You are and... wait. As always. ^^

 

I do not recommend updating just now either. It's probably best to wait for an exploit to release but anyway it can be good to have the files ready.

Here are the original Sony links which are now dead, but we can still get the MD5 from them.

In what versions u can download these?

They can be used as long as you're currently not updated past 6.20; however, as many others have stated..at this point it's best to just stay wherever you're at and wait it out. If anything, download the firmware and compare the MD5 of the specific .PUP whenever the exploit surfaces.

My own speculation, I firmly believe this is nothing new. Those in "the circle" have had this and other exploits most likely all the way to current fw, for at least a year now. The facade of jailbreak being developed right now at this point in time for this firmware is just that, a facade. I'd put my gonads on the line and go as far to say Sony has DICTATED what exact date this exploit would be allowable after, make no mistake thinking Sony hasn't already paid these people off, well ahead in advance.

Lol, TheFlow only just got a low FW PS4 as far as I know, He has been Vita/psp hacker mostly. Sony is not paying devs to release exploits on certain dates. That is the funniest thing I heard all day..

If sony was to pay a dev it would be to NOT release at all and disclose the exploit so they can patch it. Not to keep exploit private and release on certain date.

I think you must be scarred from some bad psxhax experiences to be coming up with conspiracies where Sony is deciding when exploits get released and paying for the privilege.

I don't blame @antagonist for saying what s/he had to say on the matter, especially when you see things like this in the screenshot attached ("Firmware 6.xx: Fully exploited in private").

Also, gaslighting and smearing people who come up with differing takes as "conspiracy theorists" isn't a good look, mate. Just saying

gdrive no need to respond and report a post,, (not a babysitting clinic)

Well, how would you like it if someone gaslighted you just because you thought something was fishy, and you get arrogant responses/dismissals from certain people, especially those who consider themselves to be "Developers"? That opens up a flamewar, and leads to moderators having to clean that up and perhaps ban people in the process, so thus the report.

I think Reporting a Post and then responding ti does that..
But what the hell do it know

I'm just being transparent here - that's all. The ball is in other person's court now. Also, I had to post a screenshot pointing out the "private exploit" claim too

 

That Screenshot... lol

DeViL post did nothing as you claim Infact your post does more then his.

 

Does Backup inject work on ps4 like ps3?

Well, to accuse someone of "being scarred" just because of differing takes that aren't even offensive, is gaslighting, and if anything, I see Devil being in the wrong, and the same goes with you for dismissing that entirely - not @antagonist here, but you do you.

Also, it doesn't help when known Youtubers like MrMario are basically reporting the same thing (Firmware 6.xx exploited in Private) as shown in the previous screenshot I have attached in the last post.

Not exactly - you have to PKG them and install them like apps

Differing takes?

Do you really think that "Sony has DICTATED what exact date this exploit would be allowable after" ? Yes or No?

Do you not think that is ridiculous thing to say? Seriously.

TheFlow has only just got into PS4 hacking, and he has been one of the most prolific devs on the Vita scene when it comes to releasing proper low level hacks ON THE LATEST FW, so to be implying he is being paid now to release PS4 hacks on specific dates is beyond conspiratorial it's actually comical.

 

I used the words "being scarred" due to this https://www.psx-place.com/threads/refuge-from-psxhax.29001/

If your head was not so far up your own arse you might be able to see past your own bullshit as they say here in Ireland.

 

Not exactly - you have to PKG them and install them like apps

it'll need package manager
package manager only work on FW 5.05
