[v0.4.0] feedback

Discussion thread for v0.4.0 release

---

What's new

• Updated slopkit with firmware 7.00–8.60 (poops) and 12.02–12.70 (p2jb) support, based on @soniciso1's pooP2JB
• Autoloader shortcut now skips the exploit and autoloads immediately if elfldr is already running (especially useful on p2jb after initial PC host install)
• Autoload now polls for elfldr readiness instead of waiting for a hardcoded 4s delay
• Internal improvements to kexp loading in slopkit

Setup Instructions - see README

itsPLK - Please add a check for whether the PlayStation 5 has already been jailbroken before starting the automatic jailbreak process.

If the console is already jailbroken, the auto-jailbreak tool should display a clear warning indicating that the system is already jailbroken and must not attempt to run the jailbreak again.

Running the jailbreak twice can very likely cause a kernel panic, so preventing a second jailbreak attempt would significantly improve stability and safety.

There isn't really a point to this. It already skips the kernel exploit if ps5 is already jailbroken.
At least that's how it works on higher firmwares (7.00+) where it uses slopkit under the hood. I haven't tested or changed anything in umtx2 so I'm not sure how it works on lower firmwares.

Sending payloads again shouldn't cause issues unless a specific payload lacks duplicate checks (like killing the old process or refusing to run if an instance is already active). If loading a payload twice causes a kernel panic, that's a bug in that specific payload and should be fixed by its maintainer.

Top container overall and time-left are frozen on 3.1% instead of being 60%

P2JB - PS5 Pro - 12.40

The bottom container time is properly shown.

Top container is just log. It logs whenever it goes to next p2jb phase. Might need to remove percentages/eta from there if that's confusing.

[DLazzzar]

It's not confusing just wanted to let you know if you wanna clean up things etc...

Just to report additionally, it took about 62 mins on pro compared to y2jb. I know it's working differently but if you needed the time info on pro just dropping it here.

CONSOLE: PS5 FAT - FW 12.40 (Previously jailbroken using sonic's online webkit)
TIME TO JAILBREAK: ~1H

Jailbroken on first attempt!
Automatically starts Payload Manager afterwards, picks up existing config and autoloads my payloads. Nice.

Cosmetic suggestion: many timers on the interface which can be confusing

• Remove timers in the logs on the top section, only keep general info and phases (step 2/7...step 3/7) to simplify.
• Remove duplicate timers for "overall" and "phases" in the bottom section.

Feature suggestion: Jailbreak check status

• The webkit should start by checking jailbreak status. If console is already jailbroken, only start Payload Manager instead of attempting to jailbreak again which can potentially cause stability issues or kernel panics.

We'll keep detailed p2jb progress view for now. Could be useful for tracking potential issues.

And it already skips kernel exploit if it's already jailbroken.

Slim 12.20.

P2jb ran for 2h and bottom overall bar was stuck at 80% and ETA kept increasing. Program was still running until it froze with a system prompt telling me the app was unresponsive. Trying again by reopening app.

This was the first time restarting to test autoloader. after successfully loading soniciso’s webkit host.

PS5 FW: 8.00

Hi! I have 2 PS5 consoles. One is 11.40 and the other is 8.00.
For the 11.40, WebKit loads properly but for my other console I always run to this error in the attached image.
When I press X, it then gives a Free Memory error. But after I click X again it loads the WebKit AGAIN automatically and it's successful.
I was wondering if this is a bug or something normal for 8.00 consoles.
Thanks for all of your hard work!

[raveNwow93]

Im too on fw 8.00 and have this same issue.

[rychsketch]

I have 2 jailbroken consoles. One 6.50 and another 11.40. This version of webkit and the previous version (v0.3.1) didn't work on my 6.50. It will just get stuck at the main screen of the webkit doing nothing. However, it works on my 11.40 console. I have cleared cache multiple times on my 6.50 and re-installing it multiple times (delete, then re-install) and it's the same. Not sure why. Both consoles are with the same profile, nothing changed. The only difference is the firmware.

Just for reference, both PS5 had been previously jailbroken before.

6.xx isn't currently supported, see readme:

Supports firmwares 1.00–5.50 and 7.00–12.70.

FW 8.00 all time in first run have software problem with no memory error message, after this jb Complete and work

My machine is on firmware 11.60 running webkitloader 0.40. After executing, it succeeds, but after a short while, the console freezes and shuts down completely. I have tested this multiple times and experienced the same situation. I have now downgraded to version 0.31, and so far, I haven't encountered any freezing issues after testing

[juanchristian]

Thanks for that. I'm on fw 11.60 and 0.31 works like a charm. I will avoid updating to 0.4 for the time being.

[Sepahanis]

My console is running firmware 10.20 and my webkit version is 4. After jailbreaking it 5 times, red text appeared in the autoloader program and then the console turned off. Please fix this problem. Thank you.

[falcon040]

works perfect on 12.00

I used the .elf file to install all.

[hoseindev2]

Hi my console is v12.00 digital. ever since upgrading to 0.4.0 I've been facing shutdowns/kernel panics, sometimes without rebuild database afterward. most crashes occur randomly after a few seconds. once it crashed without any payload running, the next time it crashed after i ran shadowmount 1.6 and pressed ps button. i just had one successful play since 0.4.0 now I'll clear cache and downgrade to 0.3.1 and will report back. it was supposed to be more stable.
any tips to fix these issues?

[falcon040]

Check if you installed any PS4toPS5 Game! Some modified PS4 Games can crash the PS5, seconds after JB. You only need to install them, no need to run them. Use the ps5 debugger to find out witch Software is Kernel Panic your Console.

[hoseindev2]

curious, i recently installed a modified crash team racing ps4 game, thanks, I'll delete it and test again

[Epinorr]

This version has a serious stability issue on newer PS5 firmware versions, especially firmware versions above 12. The console frequently shuts down or crashes unexpectedly, most often while playing a game after the payload has been loaded.
