PS4 Jailbreak Update: A Guide to AutoHEN on Firmware 12.52 and Below (2025)

Is your PS4 on firmware 12.52, 12.02, 12.00, 11.52, or 11.02? Good news! You can still jailbreak it in 2024. This guide will show you how to use AutoHEN, a web-based method, to enable homebrew on your console. Homebrew lets you run unofficial apps and games.

Important: This guide is for running homebrew apps only. You cannot play pirated games or access PlayStation Network (PSN) online services. Also, firmware 12.50 does not exist, so ignore any claims about a "PS4 jailbreak 12.50".

What You Need to Know About This Jailbreak

This method uses the "Labs exploit" with Lua and a new tool called Auto Loader. Auto Loader makes the process easier by automating several steps.

Key Improvements

• Updated HEN-VTX Payload: Alessio has improved the HEN-VTX payload, making it more stable, especially on older firmware versions like 11.50 to 11.52. If you had freezes or crashes before, try the updated version.
• Auto Loader: This new tool simplifies the jailbreak process. You no longer need to send files over the network one by one. Auto Loader automates the exploit, bin loader, and payload loading.

How to Use the Auto Loader

The Auto Loader, created by zer0byt3, is like a port of ItsPLK's Auto Loader for PS5 but made for the PS4. It uses the Lua Labs exploit to load HEN (Homebrew Enabler).

Steps to Use Auto Loader

1. Get the Save File: You'll need a compatible save file on your PS4. Restoring a backup might work, but it's not guaranteed for all Lua-supported games.

2. Install Decrypted Save Data: The best way to get a working save file is to use a Discord save bot. This ensures you have the latest version.

Using the Discord Save Bot

1. Create a Google Drive Account: If you don't have one, make a Google Drive account.
2. Make Folders: Create three folders in your Google Drive: "PS4", "save data0", and "SCE_SYS".
3. Share Folders: For each folder, change the sharing settings from "Restricted" to "Anyone with the link".
4. Copy Save Data: Copy the two save data files from your USB drive into the "PS4" folder on Google Drive.
5. Get the Discord Bot: Join the Discord server (link in the video description).
6. Use PSBot: Use the PSBot in the Discord server. Type /de select true to include the SCE_SYS folder.
7. Paste Google Drive Link: Paste the link to your Google Drive's "PS4" folder.
8. Get Decrypted Save Data: The bot will give you a link to your decrypted save data.

Injecting the Save File

1. Download Decrypted Save: Download the decrypted save data to your computer.

2. Copy Files: Copy all files from the Auto Loader save data into your decrypted save data folder.

3. Upload to Google Drive:

   • Copy all files (except the SCE_SYS folder) from your decrypted save data to the "save data0" folder on Google Drive.
   • Upload all files from the SCE_SYS folder of the decrypted save to the "SCE_SYS" folder on Google Drive.

4. Encrypt the Save:

   • Go back to the Discord bot and use the /encrypt command.
   • Say "false" when asked to upload files manually.
   • Say "true" to include the SCE_SYS folder.
   • Provide your PlayStation account ID when asked. You can find this on your USB drive in the folder with your save data.
   • Paste the Google Drive links for the "PS4", "save data0", and "SCE_SYS" folders when prompted.

5. Download Encrypted Save: The bot will give you a link to your encrypted save data.

Preparing Your USB Drive

};

1. Copy Encrypted Save: Copy the save data files (save data.bin and save data) from the encrypted save to your USB drive, replacing the old ones.

2. Add Payload:

   • Download the HEN-VTX payload for your firmware version.
   • Rename it to "payload.bin".
   • Copy it to the root of your USB drive.

Final Steps

1. Plug USB into PS4: Plug the USB drive into your PS4.
2. Copy Save Data to PS4: Go to "Application Saved Data Management" and copy the save data from the USB to your PS4.
3. Run the Game: Launch the Lua game. The Auto Loader will run the exploit, load the payload, and enable HEN.
4. Check Debug Settings: Go to Settings and check if "Debug Settings" are enabled.

Important Considerations

};

• Lua Games: Getting your hands on one of these Lua games is not always easy.
• Faster Jailbreak: Even with the challenge of getting a Lua game, this method is still a fast way to jailbreak your PS4.
• GoldHEN: Keep an eye out for GoldHEN, which will offer even more features.

In Conclusion

This AutoHEN guide simplifies the PS4 jailbreak process for firmware versions 12.52 and below. By following these steps, you can enjoy homebrew on your console without the need for complicated network setups.
