New Kernel Exploit for PS4 and PS5 (Double Free) FAQ Post
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.
- An activated account on the PS5 to import the Lua save.
- A jailbroken PS4 console or a discord bot or save wizard to resign the save needed for the Lua exploit.
- 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.
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.

Is a ps5 pro that much better for performance?
I'm just curious because I only have a jailbroken ps4 and I'm told the pro is much better for 60fps and ports. I feel like there's more diminishing returns because the CPU of the 4 was very underpowered. Cheapest I ever saw a PS5 pro on slickdeals was like $550 after taxes so that might've been worth it

PS5 x360 bug?
Hey little chickens
I've been trying to play Battlefield 3 for several hours, but I can't launch it., I mean, it crashes right before the first mission appears, on the loading screen.
Does this happen to you too in some games?

PS5 TabShifter - Move apps between Games/Media tabs and hide offline PSN bloatware on FW 13.60
**EDIT - v1.1.0 Update is now live:**
Thanks for all the feedback and database dumps. I just pushed v1.1.0 to GitHub Releases with the following fixes:
* **Fixed Padlock Icons:** Preserves original `appType` values (`1` for PS5 games, `5` for homebrew) and removes the `AppInstallAll` fallback that was triggering an OS license check on fpkgs/dumps. Also added native `categoryType = 61440` support for PS4 (`CUSA`) games.
* **Reboot Persistence:** Uses Sony's native hidden `dispLocation = 1` + `emsDeletedFlag` so PS Store and bloatware stay hidden across cold boots.
* **More System Tiles (PSGFX style):** Exposed Media Gallery, Disc Player, Music Home, Discover, Welcome Hub, and All Apps in the dashboard list so you can individually hide or move them (and removed Welcome Hub from the 1-click bloat sweep so your storage widget stays untouched by default).
* **Confirmed Support for FW 12.02, 13.00, 13.40, and 13.60:** Fixed query handling for missing Title IDs on lower firmwares.
Download v1.1.0 here: https://github.com/xvvulcanvx/PS5-TabShifter/releases/tag/v.1.1.0
I got tired of having homebrew, emulators, and utility apps cluttering up the Games tab on firmware 13.60, along with dead tiles like PS Store, PS Plus, and Remote Play sitting on the dashboard when the console is offline.
Older database scripts and tab switchers do not work on firmware 13.60. Sony changed the internal MMS structure:
- The dashboard is split across two synchronized databases:
/system_data/priv/mms/app.dband/system_data/priv/mms/appinfo.db. - Home Screen rendering on 13.60 relies on per-user view tables (
tbl_iconinfo_*andtbl_concepticoninfo_*) using specific display bitmasks:1162for the Games tab versus2236for the Media tab. - If you only edit
app.db,SceShellCoreandSceShellUIwill either overwrite your changes from RAM or restore the old values fromappinfo.db.
I put together TabShifter, an on-console payload built specifically for PS5 firmware 13.60 that handles this properly.
What it does:
- Moves any app or game between
[GAMES]and[MEDIA]tabs so you can keep games on one side and homebrew, emulators, or stores on the other. - 1-click PSN bloatware toggle: Cleanly hides or unhides offline tiles (
PlayStation Store,PlayStation Plus,Remote Play,Share Play,Welcome Hub, andLive TV). - Instant UI reload: Gracefully signals
SceShellUIso your dashboard refreshes in about 1.5 seconds without needing a system reboot or logging in and out. - 100% on-console control: No PC required after dropping the payload onto the console. Running it installs a native "TS" shortcut tile directly onto your Media tab.
- Clean uninstallation: The launcher tile is registered through
libSceAppInstUtil, so it behaves like a standard app. You can delete it directly from the PS5 home screen by pressing Options -> Delete on your controller, or by clicking the uninstall button inside the dashboard UI.
Installation & Usage:
- Download
TabShifter.elffrom the GitHub releases page: https://github.com/xvvulcanvx/PS5-TabShifter - Put
TabShifter.elfinto your payloads directory (such as/data/pldmgr/payloads/I recommend you use Payload Manager) and execute it once. - Open the new TabShifter ("TS") tile from your Media tab, or access the dashboard from any browser on your home network at
http://<PS5_IP>:9095/. - Click to move any app or toggle bloatware. The dashboard reloads immediately with your changes applied.
I am unsure if a virustotal is needed for a github release but just in case, here it is.

"When I was a kid, it seemed like they made something new every day. Some, gadgets or ideas, like every day was Christmas"
That's what I'm going to tell my grandkids about 2026 and how we made PS5 opensource.
I remember the last time I felt so overwhelmed with possibilities was back on the PS2 OG days. I can't keep up with so much stuff

guys this might be a stupid question but I'm new to all this and wanted to know if I should update to 13.60 or stay on 13.00. I've heard that a lot of New games don't work on 13.00.

megathread Windows Xp on the Freaking PS5!
A new project called ps5-windows-xp reportedly allows jailbroken PS5 consoles to run Windows XP, with the developer claiming full-speed performance.
What’s even more interesting is that Windows XP reportedly appears as its own application on the PS5 home screen, rather than requiring users to boot into a separate operating system.
According to the developer, the project supports 3D games, DualSense controllers, audio, and web browsing. Some Windows games are also reportedly playable.
Imagine running an operating system from the early 2000s on modern PlayStation hardware. 😂
With all the recent developments involving Linux, native emulators, Prospero-Win, and now Windows XP, it’s becoming increasingly interesting to see what developers can achieve with a jailbroken PS5.
Huge appreciation to the developers who continue pushing the boundaries of PS5 homebrew.

Use Dualshock 1/2/3 USB on PS5 JB, possible ?
Hello friends, my PS5 fat is on FW 11.60 JB, everything is perfect.
I would like to know if an app or something else is available to use all the previous controllers ?
I know the PS5 restriction for PS5 games, and play Tekken 8 using PS1 controller could be masterclass ( using usb adaptator )
