Introduction

This tutorial provides a comprehensive guide on how to jailbreak your PS5 running firmware version 4.51 or lower. By following these steps, you will disable system updates, check compatibility, load the jailbreak, and set up a web browser for easier access. It’s crucial to proceed with caution, as jailbreaking can void your warranty and may cause system instability.

Chapter 1: Disable System Updates

Before beginning the jailbreak process, you must disable any automatic system updates to prevent the installation of updates that could patch the jailbreak.

  1. Access Settings

    • Boot up your PS5 and go to Settings.

  2. Disconnect from the Internet

    • Navigate to Network.
    • Select Settings and uncheck Connect to the Internet.

  3. Disable Automatic Updates

    • Go to System and then System Software.
    • Select System Software Update and Settings.
    • Uncheck Download Update Files Automatically and Install Update Files Automatically.

  4. Check for Pending Updates

    • Press the PS button and check the Download section.
    • Cancel and delete any system updates that are currently downloading or pending.

Chapter 2: Check PS5 Compatibility

Next, verify that your PS5’s firmware is compatible with the jailbreak.

  1. Check Firmware Version

    • Go to Console Information under System settings.
    • Confirm your firmware version is one of the following: 2.02, 4.0, 4.02, 4.03, 4.50, or 4.51. If your version is higher, you cannot jailbreak.

  2. Consider Firmware Updates

    • If on an older firmware, consider waiting for a more complete jailbreak rather than updating via USB.

Chapter 3: Loading the Jailbreak

Once you've confirmed compatibility, you can proceed to load the jailbreak.

  1. Reconnect to the Internet

    • Return to Network Settings and reconnect to your internet.

  2. Access User Guide

    • Go to User Guide to access the web browser.

  3. Navigate to Google

    • Use the user guide to navigate to PlayStation.com.
    • Scroll down to find a link to a YouTube video, click on it, and then navigate to Google.

  4. Access the Jailbreak Website

    • Search for es7i1.site and select the PS5 option.
    • Click on Idle Sauce Host to load the jailbreak.

  5. Run the Jailbreak

    • Click on Jailbreak. If you encounter memory errors, click OK and retry until successful.
    • Note: If your PS5 crashes, power it off and turn it back on. It will check for safe mode and boot normally.

  6. Select the Payload

    • Choose ETA hen payload to apply the jailbreak.

Chapter 4: Web Browser Install

To simplify future jailbreaks, install a web browser package.

  1. Download Necessary Applications

    • Go to PKG zone.com and download:
      • Homebrew Store
      • Items Flow
      • Exploit Host.zip (contains various web browser packages)

  2. Prepare USB Drive

    • Ensure your USB is formatted as exFAT or FAT32.
    • Copy the downloaded packages to the root of the USB.

  3. Install Packages on PS5

    • Insert the USB into your PS5.
    • Go to Settings > Debug Settings > Game and select Package Installer.
    • Install all available packages.

  4. Verify Installation

    • Check your home menu for the new applications.

Chapter 5: Blocking System Updates

To prevent future system updates while using the jailbreak:

  1. Offline Method

    • You can choose to leave the PS5 offline to avoid updates entirely.

  2. Custom DNS Method

    • Reconnect to the internet and go to Network Settings.
    • Change DNS settings from Automatic to Manual.
    • Input one of the following DNS addresses:
      • 165.227.83.14
      • 192.221.221.79

  3. Testing Connection

    • Ensure the PS5 remains connected to the network after entering the DNS settings.

Chapter 6: Reloading the Jailbreak

Remember, the jailbreak is tethered and must be reapplied after rebooting the PS5.

  1. Rebooting the PS5

    • After a reboot, return to the Idle Sauce Host and run the jailbreak again.

  2. Reapply the Payload

    • Select the ETA hen payload once more to restore jailbreak functionality.

  3. Access Installed Applications

    • You can now run any installed Homebrew applications or PS4 game backups.

Conclusion

You have successfully jailbroken your PS5 and set up the necessary tools for easy access in the future. Remember that you need to reapply the jailbreak each time you reboot the console. Explore additional tutorials to manage game backups and utilize cheats within your games. Always proceed with caution and be aware of the risks associated with jailbreaking your device.
