PS5 4.03 Kernel Build String by Znullptr, No ETA for PS5 Kernel Exploit

Previously the PlayStation 5 Scene saw a PS5 WebKit Vulnerability alongside implementation of a PS5 Userland Exploit for 4.03 PS5 Firmware, which was followed by PS5 Debug Settings & Root Keys Obtained with scene developer @Mathieulh openly stating on Twitter that "Kernel execution has been achieved since week 1" around when the AMD Server Vulnerabilities were disclosed as @zezu420 (aka Znullptr) confirmed the pOOBs4 ExFAT Bug also affects PS5 while BTC Donations set up allowed the lead developer to get a PlayStation 5 console to fully implement the KeXploit on... exemplified by today's PS5 4.03 Kernel Build String image below from Znullptr (aka dmiller423) on Twitter!

Those who would like to support his continued development work may do so via BTC Donations, GoFundMe, becoming a Github Sponsor or Patreon.

Before collectors of PS5 Game Dumps in the PS5Scene get too excited, there's currently no ETA for a public PS5 Kernel Exploit release... but at least knowing it works on 4.03 and below may help those considering updating to Sony's current 4.50 PS5 Firmware make a wise decision not to update for the time being.

Okay people im accepting a ps5 now

 

[Elrased]

If released it would be better to update the software and it would take time to mature

 

[roccerfeller]

Very nice

Whenever it drops, I’ll be ready. Any idea what version sealed ps5s come with?

I have a PS5 in cold storage, waiting for the jailbreak but wanna see how it works with our back catalogue of ps4 games more, quite happy to wait but would like a system that doesn't require constantly updating back catalogue. If my back catalogue worked out the box Im quite happy to sit tight for 12 months, thats my opinion, ps5 games will come but its a future project

Super cool, can't wait to try it.

 

[justjarni]

nice

 

[cracrus11]

wondering if we be able to play full ps4 library on it

 

[jwooh]

Very nice but I think its a bit to early for a ps5 jailbreak not many people have one. The ps4 still has a lot of life and I would like to see some kind of permanent jailbreak for it yet.

Well the exploit is already patched in higher firmwares so if it is released it will still have time to be worked on. For all those who are screaming don't release.
