Latest PS4 & PS5 Jailbreak News: Lapse Exploit, Kstuff 1.5, and More

Exciting news has arrived for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 owners interested in jailbreaking. A significant new kernel exploit, called Lapse, has been released. This exploit could open the door for new jailbreaks on systems running higher firmware versions. Alongside this major development, there are also updates to existing tools and methods. These include enhancements to kstuff, improvements for the Blu-ray Disk Jailbreak (BD-JB) exploit, and better ways to use the Lua exploit. These changes make the jailbreaking process smoother and more powerful.

The Lapse Kernel Exploit

The Lapse kernel exploit is now public. ABC, who may have first found this exploit, released a working version. This release uses a kernel audio exploit that has been discussed for some time. The initial release by ABC shows a demo of kernel read and write abilities.

Currently, this specific implementation works on certain firmwares:

• PS4: Firmware version 8.00. It has minimal patches for 8.0X.
• PS5: Firmwares less than 10.20 and less than 12.50. This means it supports up to firmware 10.00 and 12.00 on PS5.

Porting and Limitations

This first release needs more work to be useful for everyone. Here are the key points:

• Other PS4 firmwares: The exploit needs to be adjusted, or "ported," to work on other PS4 firmware versions. This will likely happen over time.
• PS5 support: It currently works on PS4 but needs porting to PS5.
• Chaining with other exploits: To work on higher firmwares, this exploit must be combined with a different "userland" exploit. The older WebKit exploit has limits. It will not work past PS4 firmware 9.60 or PS5 firmware 5.50.
• Lua Exploit is Key: The Lua exploit is the main candidate for chaining. It works on the latest firmwares for both PS4 and PS5. Developers will use it to make Lapse work on newer systems.

This initial release is just the beginning. It has opened the door for many rapid updates. More developers will now port the exploit to other firmwares and the PS5.

A Warning About Jailbreaking

It is important to remember the risks. Using this kernel exploit voids your console's warranty. It also carries the risk of bricking your system. Bricking means your console could become unusable. Always use these tools responsibly and at your own risk. This information is for security research and educational purposes. You should only back up games you legally own.

Tease for PS5 Hypervisor Exploit

There is also news about a possible new hypervisor exploit for PS5. A developer named Zo has hinted at this for PS5 firmwares 3.x and 4.x. If your PS5 is on these firmware versions (like 3.00, 4.02, or 4.51), you might want to wait before updating it. This new exploit could offer more options for these specific firmwares.

Kstuff 1.5: Speed and New Features

A new version of kstuff, version 1.5, has been released by Echo Stretch. This update brings several important features:

• Disable ASLR: It can now disable Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR). ASLR mixes up where things are stored in memory each time. Disabling it makes it much easier to develop cheats for PS5 games. Developers can rely on specific memory addresses without them changing.
• PSVR2 Bypass: This version includes a PSVR2 bypass from AL8. This helps in getting PSVR2 games to work through kstuff.
• Updated Offsets: It adds remaining offsets for 3.xx firmware. If you had issues with kstuff on that firmware, this new version might work better for you.

Kstuff 1.5 offers a speed boost and integration with the Lapse exploit. It also means quicker injection times for PS5 8.20 jailbreaks, around 0.3 seconds. This makes the overall process much faster.

ETA HEN 2.2B Test Build

The new kstuff 1.5 has been included in a test build of ETA HEN. This is ETA HEN version 2.2B.

• Test version: This is not an official release. It is a preview of what is coming.
• Main change: The biggest update in this test build is the inclusion of the new kstuff 1.5.
• Future updates: The official release of ETA HEN 2.0 will likely have more features.
• Access: You can access this test build on Ziko's host. Find it at Zikoxo.github.io/wisoft. From there, you can load it onto your system.

Blu-ray Exploit (BD-JB) Improvements

The Blu-ray Disk Jailbreak (BD-JB) exploit has seen some great improvements. These updates come from Ben_ex_xd and are found on Victorious_X's repo.

• Automatic Display Closer: When you run the full chain exploit, it now automatically closes the "displayer." This works on almost all supported firmwares. You no longer have to close it manually.
• Streamlined Process: You simply load an option like "normal jailbreak" or "all-in-one" on the exploit's menu. The system will then run the whole process, close the displayer, and return you to the homepage. ETA HEN will be running, and your console will be jailbroken.
• Payload Loading Priority: The "all-in-one" option now checks for updated payloads in a specific order:
  1. USB Drive: It first looks for any new payloads on a connected USB drive. This is great for quick updates.
  2. Internal Storage: If no USB is present, it checks a "data" folder on the console's hard drive.
• Easier Updates: This new feature means you do not have to burn a new Blu-ray disc every time payloads are updated. You can simply put newer files on a USB drive or in the internal storage. This makes updating your jailbreak tools much simpler.

These improvements make the Blu-ray exploit more user-friendly and efficient.

Lua Exploit Enhancements

The Lua exploit has also received significant upgrades. These updates allow for a more streamlined jailbreaking process. Developer itsPLK is behind many of these improvements.

• PS5 LU Loader: A new folder called "PS5 LU loader" is now available. You can place this folder on the root of a USB drive or in the console's internal storage. This loader allows you to run the full chain exploit without sending Lua files one by one from your computer.
• Payload Priority: The exploit loads payloads based on priority:
  1. USB drive: The system checks the USB drive first for payload files.
  2. Internal storage: If not found on USB, it checks the internal storage.
  3. Save file: It can also load payloads directly from the game's save file.
• Custom Payloads: By default, the folder includes an FTP payload. You can customize this. For example, you can replace the FTP payload with an ETA HEN payload. Just change the autoload.txt file to list ETA_HEN.elf instead of ftp_server.elf. This allows you to load any payload you want automatically.
• Automatic Game Closer (Kill Lua Game): Ben_ex_xd added a special payload called "kill lua game." This payload automatically closes the Lua game once all other payloads have finished running. This is similar to the automatic closing feature in the Blu-ray exploit.
• All-in-One Experience: You can add "kill lua game" as the last payload in the auto-loader. This creates an all-in-one process:
  1. Launch the Lua game.
  2. The exploit automatically runs the kernel exploit and then the ELF loader.
  3. Any payloads you listed in autoload.txt (like ETA HEN or kstuff) then run.
  4. Finally, the "kill lua game" payload closes the game.
  5. Your console is fully exploited, and you are back on the homepage.

These Lua exploit enhancements make the entire jailbreaking process much smoother and more automated.

FPKGI 1.0 Full Release: PS5 Support Arrives

A major milestone has been reached with the first full release of FPKGI, now at version 1.0. This release comes from itsjokers. All previous versions were pre-release builds.

• PS5 Support: The biggest news is the added support for PS5. This means FPKGI can now handle PS5 fake packages (fPKG) alongside PS4 ones.
• Key New Features for PS5:
  • Zip Download Support: You can now download, extract, and install zip files directly.
  • PS5 Dump Extraction: It supports extracting PS5 game dumps. This helps integrate games with the "items flow" feature on the PS5.
  • Zip Installation Order: Zip packages will now install in a smart order, prioritizing numbers and symbols first.
  • Jailbreak Compatibility: FPKGI uses a specific whitelist for jailbreak compatibility on PS5.
  • Application Closing: You can close the FPKGI application by pressing the circle button twice.
• How it Works: You can now install your legally owned PS5 games by having them as extracted folders or in a zip file. You then index these files using JSON files within FPKGI. After that, you can download them directly to your PS5. FPKGI integrates with the console's "items flow," which means it can scan for and find these installed applications. You can then launch your games from there.

This full release of FPKGI is a significant step. It greatly improves how users can manage and install both PS4 and PS5 game packages on their jailbroken consoles. You can find the necessary tools and more information at https://psjailbreak1.blogspot.com/.

What's Next for PS4 and PS5 Jailbreaking

The release of the Lapse kernel exploit has opened many new possibilities for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 jailbreaking. This exploit, combined with updates to tools like kstuff, ETA HEN, the Blu-ray exploit, and the Lua exploit, brings us closer to more accessible jailbreaks on higher firmwares. The full release of FPKGI 1.0, with its PS5 support, also marks a major step forward for managing games.

Developers are now working quickly to port the Lapse exploit to more firmwares and to the PS5. They are also chaining it with the Lua exploit to overcome WebKit limitations. This active development shows that the PS4 and PS5 jailbreak scene is making rapid progress in 2025. Stay informed about these exciting developments.
