PS4: SpecterDev releases PS4 5.05 kernel exploit
As promised, hacker SpecterDev has released the awaited PS4 5.05 exploit today.
The released exploit will load Mira and VortexHEN, meaning you’re all set to run homebrews and the like. It’s unclear at this point whether 4.05 homebrew will run out of the box or if they need to be recompiled first.
The hacker gives a few details on the exploit:
- The page will crash after the kernel exploit successfully runs, this is normal
- First load after successful exploitation will autoload HEN and Mira (can get klog by nc [ps4 ip] 9998
- Subsequent loads go to the usual payload launcher.
PS4 5.05 Kernel exploit apparently works out of the box for 5.07
Specter has precised that the 5.07 firmware seems to be identical on all aspects to 5.05, and that the exploit should work “as is” on this quite rare firmware.
If you’re on a firmware lower than 5.05, you’ll have to update to that firmware beforehand. There are guides out there on how to do that, and we’ll most likely have one up here as well on how to update and how to run the exploit as soon as possible. If you’re on a firmware higher than 5.05, your only option is to get a PS4 running firmware 5.05. (or to wait until a hack gets released for higher firmwares. No such release has been announced at the point).
Below is a video of the exploit in action (jump to around 6:00)
Download and run PS4 5.05 Jailbreak
You can download the 5.05 exploit on SpecterDev’s github here. You will need to run that on your local server. Alternatively, Qwertyoruiop has an online copy here. (point your PS4 to http://crack.bargains/505k/ ).
More as we get more details on the exploit and get a chance to try it ourselves!

fist
Rest mode doesn’t work for me on PS4 Pro. 🙁
thats the burden u have to take. Hopefully the fix might come out soon.
same, although pkgs installed/run fine
I have 5.50 downloaded (but NOT installed). Does this create a problem? Thanks.
No, as long as you don’t install it, then you should be good. I have it downloaded as well
Just format your ps4 and disconmect it to internet. After download and install 5,05. And thats it!
If you’re already on 5.05, you’re good just don’t install it.
If you’re on a lower version and you want to update to 5.05, you should update using the USB stick method and via safe mode to avoid any unpleasant surprises.
plz 5.05 update download

i have ps4 on 5.05 but the 5.50 update is downloaded and I get a notification everytime I open my ps4 !! Is there any possible way to delete it ??
2 options you have only / restore/format your PS4 or ignore the notification
but the important thing to do <>under SYSTEM INFO;;; just uncheck all the flags
What about vr? Is it still working? Also I am using a esp8266 too and I think I never updated the vr firmware. How can I safely do it?
I also have an update file downloaded. Version 5.55. Is there any way to delete it? I keep getting prompted to update upon startup.
Also having an issue, all installed pkgs are locked and won’t let me start them. Can any one offer any help? 🙂
I have update 5.55 downloaded on the console and it keeps prompting me to update upon startup. Is there a way to delete the update file? Also, any PKG file I install is locked. Is there a way to unlock them?
Thank you!

There are so many tutorials and FAQ but ask silly questions here.

You can remove the 5.55 update from your PS4 using FTP.
Make a FTP connection and remove all files in the UPDATE folder on your PS4.
