SpecterDev on PS4 4.05 Jailbreak: Release could happen this week
Developer SpecterDev has been hard at work to implement the recently disclosed PS4 Kernel Exploit for firmware 4.05. Screenshots surfaced on Reddit’s PS4Homebrew discord channel, mentioning that SpecterDev could be releasing his work as early as today or tomorrow (Update: SpecterDev has confirmed to me in a separate conversation that this is indeed the current status).
Two months ago, Team Fail0verflow disclosed technical details of a kernel exploit for the PS4, running up to firmware 4.05. At the time, I believed it would be a matter of days for a full implementation to be released to the scene. It turns out some difficult components of the implementation have been left blank by the Fail0verflow writeup, and the few hackers who have tried to implement a full Jailbreak have ran into issues.
This was the case of SpecterDev, who stated yesterday that games “freeze on boot” after running the hack, in his implementation of the Jailbreak. He’s mentioned that issue almost a month ago already, so it’s unclear if that part will be fixed by release time. This could sound as a “deal breaker” for many, but SpecterDev confirmed that payloads can be run (this includes Linux as far as I understand).
“WebKit exit seems to be stabilized in the exploit chain, however launching games will freeze on boot. But at least payloads can be ran with system stability now with games aside :)”
I’m convinced that if the Jailbreak is released and open sourced, more eyes will be looking into it and could help fix whatever issues SpecterDev has been running into.
ive been lurking for years since the ps3 scene. cant wait oto get back into modding !
Generation ended and nothing so far
after 5 Year!
There is no need for jailbreak anymore
correct
i am also stuck on PS3 with Multiman – still no reason to buy PS4 which will run emulators but: “launching games will freeze on boot” 🙁
First
fodase*
Merry firstmas!!!!
Cool. Iam on new PS4 firmware been saving to get extra one.
Guessing around 3.xx and 4.7 lol.
I see a lot of anticipation including myself for a possible release for a system running 4.55 this would probably give as much of 50% of the scene access to homebrew on the PS4. This would be going by one of the recent survey.
could would should blah blah blah, didn’t even bother reading lol… merry christmas everyone!
I hope someone will eventually come out for at least 4.55 systems too (1tb slims nowadays are shipped with that cuh-20xx). I am keeping mine on that for a while.
keep on dreaming son
this is not a dream. It’s actually quite possible as several devs have posted such access on that firmware and even more recent ones such as 5.01. Sadly these discoveries are private…
They won’t release. same clickbait every year they’re just a bunch of troll
Well I think you are wrong honestly. Specterdev I feel will release. Eventually that means we will get 4.06 and since the others firmwares are shown to be vulnerable in time we will be able to update.
Not true mine shipped with 4.73 Star Wars Battlefront bundle. But still have my 1.76
I trink is nice. Nut a hack or not is not relevant vor consolels. To by a gamest is easier
But to by a consol for jailbreak is ***. No online no multiplayer. Is ***.
At this point, I believe there wouldn’t be a public exploit for the latest firmware never.
Plot twist: There is Denuvo in firmware 2.00 and higher
Jesus christ this comment section is pure garbage, is there absolutely no moderation on here? I’d even volunteer just to improve the quality from utterly spam to “something”
Welcome to Wololo
jibber jibber moot moot ps4 hacks will come……. ps4 hacks will never come buy a potato and hack that instead……….. wobbly wobblewobble
Still going to end up being months until something usable comes out of this, i mean i appreciate his work and all, just time to pass the torch to others i guess 😛
And of course my spare ps4 is on fw. 4.07. Fml. Time to find a low firmware ps4.
I know the feels, it has been over a year since I last touched it, but as I was looking at the DLC release date catalogue of the last game I played I found out I was probably on 4.06 or 4.07 too.
But maybe there is hope: http://wololo.net/2017/10/20/ps4-qwertyoruiop-confirms-5-00-jailbreak/
Once this jailbreak is released, more could be found and eventually ported to newer firmwares, it’s just that 4.05 was the older firmware with more research time on the kernel found.
😀 FINALLY, i have wanted to open that 3:70 pro box for quite some time now.
1 more week… i can wait
Me too.
Nothing will be released. I still own the exploit. He didn’t ask permission
Good point XD Ps4 scene is best circus on the world.
Hah, you don’t own jack ***, go back to that Apple cesspool you crawled out of.
Hah, you don’t own anything, go back to that apple cesspool you came from.
Why do querty no release. He have lots of exploits
Nah you sold it to Sony so technically Sony owns it
Lol what a troll dude’s not even Qwerty. Qwerty himself posted he was happy Specterdev was taking the heat off him. Imposter!
Zootie Zoot Zoot
So its true u are the grinch
another boring clickbat news
Jailbreak 4.05 = Caca.
Yet again this happened, first was that wa*ker Qwertyoruiopz and now we’ve got this premadonna here looking for attention. If you are smart and manage to achieve something fu*king keep it to yourselves if you are not planning to release it. that also mean shut your pie hole to the media.
