PS4 5.05 Jailbreak when?
Can’t wait to run the 5.05 exploit on this baby. The God Of War Limited Edition PS4 Pro has been confirmed to ship with firmware 4.73
May 20th has come and gone, and we haven’t received the PS4 5.05 Jailbreak yet. How dare the hackers play with our feelings?
A lot of people were expecting the 5.05 Jailbreak to be published yesterday. This was mostly due to some miscommunication across all the scene, but not only. Basically, Project Mira 1.00 was released today, and people were expecting the kernel exploit to ship with it. It hasn’t.
It’s a good time to remind everyone that SpecterDev has not committed to a May 20th release of the exploit. His only official announce so far was that it would come “in a few weeks”, which, granted, was a few weeks ago. And frankly, even when a hacker gives you a date for a release, I’d take it with a bucket of salt. You never know what could happen. So, let’s chill for a little bit, as the release is coming, “soon”.
How “soon” is “soon”, though? Some scene websites have claimed SpecterDev stated he was delayed, and the exploit wouldn’t be released “before June”. But other, trusted devs, have debunked this statement as being fake. Hacker DarkElement published a statement from SpecterDev saying that “kexpl is closer to this week probably”.
Note the careful choice of words here: “kexpl”, “closer”, and “probably”. All of these words could lead to disappointment if you don’t read them correctly. Something that’s “close” to this week could very well be released next week. Next week is “close” to this week, after all. “probably” is self explanatory. And “kexpl”, meaning the kernel exploit, implies that maybe other parts of the stack could end up not being released at the same time. Example: “here’s the kernel exploit, now someone needs to port it to the existing webkit exploit”. We’ve seen that before.
In any case, you should take that one with a bucket of salt as well. Given the current atmosphere of doctored “discord” statements, I’ve reached out to SpecterDev to confirm his latest status, and will update if/when he gets back to me. For now, it’s safe to say May is a possibility, but June isn’t that fare either, so the release might be in June.
Update: SpecterDev has confirmed to me that the statement above is indeed from him: Kernel exploit release could happen this week.
The sad world of me, welcome.
I have been checking all day long, nothing. So sad!
It’s the right time for ps4 jailbreak, i mean the console is now about 5 years old. Thanks to all devs who worked/working on the PSx scene. <3 <3 <3
yup but this should be released half-year ago after 5.05 was out and not now when there are new PS4s with no-go FWs in the stores…
Plenty of lingering bundles remain. It’s not hard, at all, to find one with the proper firmware.
I am kinda sad with this, I’ve been waiting and checkin everyday at the pages for that release…
Update / Sell your device!
Im not in a rush. The only thing Im looking forward to is updating KH 1.5 to a non broken state, and Im not ready to let go of PS4 Cheater for that. Hopefully 5.05 CFW doesnt mean we have to start all the development of precious payloads over now that there is a different entry point.
“Hacker darkelement” It’s not a hacker , shame on you lol
They should have release it this week
The sad thing I just want this asap so I can update the games I bought on my unactivated pro so I can take advantage of the hardware. As far as I am aware, you can only do this through exploits if it’s not activated.
If I am wrong everyone is welcome to correct me and point me towards salvation. In the meantime at least the switch scene is also blowing up and keeping me preoccupied.
We are lame
i wish they didn’t released the exploit yet until i manged to sell all my Physical disc ..i got 20+ game title
Love this website discovered it about 6 years ago during my psp days,and ever since then it has always kept me up-to-date about certain jailbreak releases and how to’s/tutorials. I just want to thank all the devs for all their hard work and dedication throughout the years,and to wololo for all of the great articles provided to noobs such as myself to better inform us on what’s happening and what do next…thank you 🙂
I think all Devs should work together to do a CFW for the PS4 and maybe Downgrading tools like E3 Flasher for the PS4
Take all the time you need.
why would i want to take a bucket of salt?? and it will happen when they are good and damn ready to release it. stop crying… or… do it yourself!
I want to say thx u to all the dev and to the team of wololo.net for your work. I hope the kexploit will be released soon, I’am always looking for specterdev’s twitter ^^
Sorry for my bad English, I’m French…
I thought the people were putting too much pressure on the devs, and the devs act exactly the way people think, hinting a jailbreak release and keep the people eager and make them sad everyday when they search all the sites for the release. I’ve been wondering if the devs enjoy making people beg for jailbreak, rather than give it to em easily. Sounds like Voldemort, I mean you-know-who……
what i want want to know can you do the jailbreak update with a faulty bluray drive. cause atm many cant update to 5.55 official firmware because of hardware scans. Can anyone confirm if its possible to do so ie Update or rather say jailbreak with a faulty bluray drive
i have ps4 pro fw-ver 4.73 for sell
price: $450
i stop wait for jailbreak 5.05.
jailbreak 5.05 release date is 20 or 27 but what year?
I dont think his gonna release the K.E. after all,two weeks past by.

It’s out!!!! I just have a question: does it work on 5.00? Or only on 5.05? I’ll have to wait for a video anyway…so excited though
Thanks for this website. I definitely agree with what you are saying.
