What you can do on a hacked PS4 4.05 so far
The PS4 scene has made significant progress since SpecterDev released the PS4 4.05 Jailbreak at the end of 2017. Although PS4s running 4.05 are getting hard to find at a reasonable price, they now allow a variety of features, from custom themes to Linux, and including, yes, Piracy.
Here’s a quick list of what you can do so far on a hacked PS4 4.05, in no specific order:
Linux on PS4
Linux on the PS4 was a thing on firmware 1.76 (formerly the only hacked firmware), and that has been ported to firmware 4.05. Multiple distributions are circulating on scene sites, and, although the port has its limitations, it’s always cool to run Linux on yet one more device.
Run your PS4 as an FTP Server
You can use your PS4 as a local FTP Server. Today, this is mostly useful for people who want to retrieve and analyze files from their PS4, but this could lead to more in the future. The PS4 Exploit Host tool has everything you need to get started (that tool is useful for pretty much everything mentioned on this page), or you might want to check this (older) tutorial: How to run an FTP Server and access your PS4’s files (with full root access).
Registry edits, debug settings, and more customization
You can tweak your console’s internal parameters, if you’re not too afraid of messing it up. Oct0xor’s PS4 Registry Editor, as well as the debug settings payload will help you do that.
PS4 Custom Themes
You can create your own PS4 themes and install them as a package thanks to PS4Hen. Tools such as PS4 Theme Editor are here to simplify the process, and you can look for more themes in our thread here.
PS2 Isos
Hackers have cracked the code to running PS2 games on the PS4. The system supports not only the PS2 Classics games officially supported by Sony, but also more isos. A compatibility list is available on ps4devwiki.
PS4 Piracy
I have to mention it here as I know it will be the main reason most people will try to get their hands on a PS4 4.05. PS4 piracy is a thing on firmware 4.05. Games such as Minecraft and Uncharted 4 have been released by Warez sites, and confirm to run on hacked PS4 4.05, through the PS4Hen payload. Please don’t ask on this site where or how to get these games.
PS4 Homebrew?
In theory we should be able to start creating homebrew for the PS4, and release them as pkg files (just like official games). So far though, the scene has been a bit slow on that aspect (most “homebrew” code released so far has been binary payloads for the exploit). In theory all you need to get started is a 4.05 compatible PS4 SDK, but maybe what the scene needs is a good tutorial.
Did I miss any cool feature of hacked PS4s? Please let me know in the comments!
When will available jailbreak 5.00
never
People claim to have exploits but they will never be released unless there is something forcing devs to hack newer firmwares and there still might not be any release even then. You have to wait 20 years and hope for some unkown downgrade method that will probably never get released either. Keeping mine at 4.73 and in the closet. Might very well upgrade for god of war, days gone and detroit
Wait 10-20 years for a downgrade method
Sorry my phone weren’t loading the page correctly and didnt show any comment made by me…
OP could you pllease delete this and the other huge reply?
well the best would be to release 5.xx FW jailbreak after 5.50FW is out but looking on PS4 scene it will be after 6.00FW in 2019 if any 🙁
God damnit, nobody tested Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne / Devil Summoner or Valkyrie Profile: Silmeria for the ps2!
Now where are these modmenu hacks? So I can unleashed my inner demon
but, my ps4 fw5.03
Sucks to be you…
le first
Overall we r waiting for 5.XX exploit,
I hope someone will release exploit this year.
Stay patience.
First!
nevermind. Lol
First. Wasn’t there supposed to be 4.0X support? Currently sitting at 4.07.
First!
I’m really excited to see what homebrew ends up on the PS4, the possibilities are boundless.
PS4 OFW 5.50 adds the “Custom wallpaper” option, where you can load from USB device. You can’t customize the icons, but it’s close to “Custom theme”
I’m still in FW 1.76. Would you guys recommend upgrading to 4.05?
Yes, strongly recommend
You got hacked boi att lin xin yuan 😉
Yeah it does but you can also accomplish this on 4.05 by creating your own theme thanks to some community tools.
Am I first?
Waiting patiently with my 4.55 machine..

What about mining Bitcoin on a hacked PS4? In Linux?
Anybody sitting on 5.05 should NOT update for the next 3 months trust me. KERNEL EXPLOIT INBOUND
Source?
that will be the awesomensss
best homebrew if possible is the possibility of torrenting in PS4..For now, I use torrent in my android phone and use any media server to stream to PS4..Although my current set up is very easy, I’m just a lazy bum preferring direct torrenting..FREEEEEE MOVIES!
Great for letting you add your ps4 discs without the need for reinserting it as this should have been automatic feature. Nope you have to buy digital in order to get that simple feature. Great for making you ps2 discs to pkgs as well as homebrew in the same format to enjoy without the need for a real ps2 or bc ps3 thanks scene!
Last
Ok so I managed to get my hands on an extremely rare 1.71 PS4 and I’m needing some guidance on how to properly jailbreak my system. Any awesome modders out there that can guide me?
You, sir, are a ***.
First step install firmware 4.05 then second step download payload host + payload. Done.

Sites for downloading PS4 custom signed package pkg , don say exmodding it doesn’t work not even the themes
Whenever there’s a hack, the only thing I’m really interested in are emulation and older games. I can always purchase whatever new games I want, but stuff that don’t play on newer consoles are at risk of death… I really hate how Crisis Core was “locked” to PSP. Not even a Vita remake. That utterly blows.
So if the PS2 part works then that’s more than enough. I don’t mean to pirate new PS4 games really cause developers need money from somewhere and the PS Store discounts are actually quite good. However I hate how they lock us out of options and older games. Heck, wasn’t Linux a thing officially on PS3 to begin with but later locked out?
Riɡht herе iѕ the perfect site fοr еveryone ԝho hopss tߋ
understand thi topic. Ⲩou know a whoⅼe lot its almost tough to
argue ᴡith yoou (not that I really woulⅾ want to…HaHa).
You certaіnly pᥙt а fresh spin on a subject thɑt hаs been writtеn aboսt foг а long time.
Excellent stuff, јust great!
