PS4 Jailbreak 2016? Status of PS4 Jailbreak news so far
There’s been quite a lot going on in the PS4 scene over the past few months, and it’s easy to get lost in the sea of real news, rumors, and complete fakes. IS there hope for a PS4 Jailbreak 2016?
PS4 Jailbreak 2016 – the real stuff
Although there exists no public tool to Jailbreak a PS4, let alone a Custom Firmware for PS4 as of now, several leads exist today:
PS4 Exploits on Firmware 1.76
Hacker CTurt has revealed details about 2 Kernel exploits on the PS4 (here and here). Although these exploits have been patched by Sony sometimes along firmware 2.xx, the information disclosed by CTurt is enough for people with the required skills to hack a PS4 running on firmware 1.76. PS4 Firmware 1.76 has the required userland exploit (There’s a known Webkit exploit on PS4 1.76) and at least CTurt’s 2 Kernel exploits, which would be the base for fully hacking the PS4 on firmware 1.76.
Linux on the PS4
Team Fail0verflow have released the source of their patches to the Linux system for PS4, which will allow people to run Linux on the PS4. There’s an obvious caveat: Fail0verflow did not release any exploit, nor do they intend to release one. The result: only people who have access to a PS4 Kernel exploit can actually install and run the thing. Again, People running on Firmware 1.76 have access to enough public information that they could make it happen.
PS4 Jailbreak 2016 – What about PS4 3.15?
Where does it leave people running on the latest 3.15 firmware who are hoping for a PS4 Jailbreak in 2016? At this point there’s not much for you, but we know that Cturt, despite saying a while ago that he would stop working on the PS4, has actually come back. It is like he, or other hacking groups, are investigating potential exploits on the PS4’s latest firmware. Team Rebug have for example announced they would start looking into PS4 hacks. If/when such exploits (both a userland and a kernel exploits) are released, it would then only be a matter of time to see a working linux port on the PS4.
Linux on the PS4 would give PS4 users access to lots of games, and even SteamOS is a possibility on PS4. In parallel, other people are still digging in the native side of the ps4. Developer @psxdev stated that to him and other hackers, running native code on the ps4 is more interesting and challenging than Linux.
Steam on PS4. A near future possibility?
PS4 Jailbreak 2016 – The rumors
The Brazilian Jailbreak
In 2014 we revealed that Brazilian stores were selling a technique to load one’s ps4 with pirated games. Although that method has been confirmed to work, it is unclear if it still works on the latest firmware 3.15. People have claimed that this had been patched by Sony in one of the 2.xx updates, but we haven’t received any verification
A PS4 Jailbreak dongle in 2016 by Team Cobra?
Several sites, including shady non-scene sites, have claimed that Team Cobra was working on a PS4 Jailbreak dongle for 2016. We have confirmed this rumor to be false, and I still believe it was based on some tweets by a fake PS4 hacking team a few weeks ago. That twitter account, which promised a PS4 Jailbreak USB dongle for February, has since been closed.
Conclusion
There is some heavy activity in the PS4 underground, and several serious leads for a future hack. Beware of teams with no track record or no proof claiming they will have a hack or a custom firmware ready for you soon. As always, scene websites such as your very own wololo.net will widely make it known as soon as anything is made publicly available. Check our Ps4 Jailbreak page for more details.
I hope something comes out this year 🙂 . Thank you for the summary.
I hope the hack of PS4 will lead some how to better hack of PSVita , if that happens i will get a PS4 at first place 😀 Keeping my finger crossed.
I highly doubt that sony will make the same mistake on ps4 as they did with the ps3. All of the PSP keys were on the ps3 when it was hacked. I highly doubt they would make the same mistake with vita and ps4. It would be one heck of a find though.
Ps4 is already hacked.If you are at 1.76 you can run the exploit and play pirated games(if you know how to do it,i don’t think that the hard part) ,install linux. But hackers don’t release the weaponized exploit because….i don’t know.
For the people who are at 3.15 we have to wait.
The best is yet to come.
Had 1.76 ps4, hiw to run pirated games? Impossible
My PS4 is still on fw 1.76
Waiting something for exploit the console.
Ok there are many informations about the hack. But i’m a final user, i don’t know any type-code linux or freebsd or other.
I don’t understand, why don’t release hack for 1.76 fw???
Maybe for the future hack for 3.15 or 3.50 or 4.00.
For the moment release CFW or lunch homebrew games for 1.76!!!
I reall yg wish for a jailbreak..to little software…feel like the ps4 is leading to the same lane as the psvita…sighhhh

psnlinux
*** ps4 and all the warez kidz wanting to play pirated games. They should breath some new life into PS3 and hack the non-jailbroken models to run homebrew.
I not trust anymore. those hacker look like scared sony. At now they said jailbreak is not for piracy. just make some noise and disappear. Lizard(2014), cturtle(2015), at now Cobra(2016-let see what happen), maybe upto 2017 frog, toat, chameleon will coming as well..
Jailbreak on 1.76 is worthless and a waste of time. Unless the latest firmware is jailbroken, they might as well not bother.
it’s not a jailbreak and it’s not a waste of time. we have a way to use webkit exploitation, all we need now is kernel exploitation then we can dump the home menu to mod. *** on pirated games the real sceners want homebrew and modding !
maybe someone will release the final exploit version for us end users this year.
If there is a full jailbreak released on FW 1..76, then the last step will be to find a way to downgrade the FW; I think it won’t be the most difficult part.
realmente si que se puede ejecutar copias de seguridad en 3.15 y no creo que sony lo pueda parchear …pero solo por hardware…y todo tiene que ver con parchear el CXD90025G del mediacon en el ps4 a traves de los puertos que se usan de escucha y con algunas habilidades en programacion de renesas!!…jaicrab tiene algunas herramientas que pueden ser explotadas en ese sentido–.confirmado por mi , hace mas de 1 año !
If it comes someone to release something i even prefer some dongle.At least those hackers release something(yes you have to pay)/.Although i hate dongles.Maybe then we will see something from other hackers.That is my opinion.
top you have been given carte blanche, merged coding to break 3.15 and those idiots do not even realize it.
Hi Wololo, i’m from brazil, and I’d like to show you this:
http://produto.mercadolivre.com.br/MLB-710265639-ps4-hd-2tb-165-jogos-playstation4-destravado-desbloqueado-_JM
is a ps4 unlocked with 165 games and firmware 3.11 and you can change the games that comes into it, since it is the same game the size you want to delete.
But you can not play online.
this type of release is very common in Brazil.
you already own a console those, if I could take pictures inside the board we could decipher concerned, but so far no one has cast public photos
Could the new glibc linux vulnerabilty be used instead of the webkit exploit?
i wish i had the knowledge but i don’t, i’m here stuck at the deepest darkest corner my friends. and why?
because i own a ps4 but i can’t buy games. why? because sony company do all in their power to blackmail us and take away our freedom on a machine we rightfully bought , yet they demand money for their online option, tell me dear kind sir, when you buy a personal computer you pay for the company you bought the computer to play online games? ridiculous.it doesn’t matter that it’s ‘console’ its just show you that sony give a *** about you economically .
situation and just do everything in her power for greedy money nothing new. but what can be done? .. top notch hacks that will end their tyranny , i myself games is my life but i need to feed my children , i had not taken much opportunities in life. we can argue for hours who’s the blame society that made people with less social economic class then others or me myself? it doesn’t matter. in the end i wouldn’t buy games either way because i can’t. but if it can bring a little joy to me , to my darlings , its funny but i yes i would like the ps4 that it would be pirated. why? because it’s rightfully need to. if more so the makers of games should be happy ! this is art thus it should be shared as many as can be ! not sell to those who have enough food to spare money to buy those expensive games. i myself would buy them it they would be cheaper , let me remind you how games were alot cheaper in the past? everything was of course but those kind of things always happen in our society.
please dear hackers who watch this message let this motivate you to explore to your deepest knowledge curiosity and navigate your ways to jailbreak the ps4.
thank you.
I really hope it comes out soon.
