Why does Y2JB recommend using a fake-activated account instead of a legit PSN-activated account?

Hey everyone,

I've been looking into Y2JB.

The original instructions say that you shouldn't use a legit PSN-activated account directly and should create a separate account and fake-activate it instead.

I'm curious about the actual technical reason behind this recommendation. Is it a compatibility issue, a requirement for how the exploit works, or something else? Is there a specific reason a legit PSN-activated account won't work properly?

I ask because I actually used my legit PSN-activated account, and everything worked flawlessly. I didn't run into any issues during the process.

I'm not claiming that it's necessarily safe or that there aren't potential risks. I'm just trying to understand why the developer specifically recommends against using a legit activated account when it seems to work fine.

Has anyone looked into the source code or gotten an explanation from the developer about why fake activation is necessary? I'm particularly interested in the technical explanation rather than speculation.

Thanks!

What happens to the disc drive after a system software reinstall?

I have a PS5 Slim with a disc drive on firmware 12.70. I’ve heard that playing APR games can potentially crash the system badly enough that you need to reinstall the system software.

My concern is the disc drive: if you reinstall the system software, doesn’t that unpair the disc drive from the console? If so, how would you re-pair/repair it without an internet connection?

I have a lot of PS5 games on disc that I still play, so losing access to the disc drive would be a nightmare.

Is there an offline way to re-pair the drive if this happens, or is there something I should do beforehand to prevent it?

Stuck at Party Level 9. 545/605 EXP. What am I missing? I already did the minigames in hard mode.

I'm playing FFVII Rebirth on PS5 and I'm stuck at Party Level 9 with 545/605 EXP.

I've finished the game multiple times and I'm trying to figure out where the last 60 EXP comes from.

I'm uploading screenshots of my Play Log, so you can see my completion status.

I've also checked every Fiend Intel, and all 3 objectives are completed for every one.

My Chapter 12 dates were Tifa and Yuffie, and Barret is the only character I don't have at the strongest bond yet.

I already did the protorelic minigames in hard mode

What am I missing? Is there some obscure source of Party EXP that I'm overlooking?

Best storage option for games: Internal vs external NVMe vs M.2 expansion slot?

Edit: I forgot to add that I am already running APR EMU games like stellar blade and black myth wukong on the internal drive without any issues (I've heard people say APR EMU games only work on external drive).

I just jailbroke my PS5 Slim and I'm trying to figure out the best way to install and run games in terms of performance and loading times.

I have a PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD rated at up to 6,000 MB/s read and 4,000 MB/s write. I can either:

  1. Install games on the PS5's internal storage
  2. Install them on the NVMe in a USB 3.2 Gen 2 enclosure
  3. Install the same NVMe directly into the PS5's M.2 expansion slot

One thing I noticed: when I transfer files from the external NVMe to the PS5's internal storage using PS5 Explorer, I'm only getting around 170 MB/s, even though the NVMe is connected to the PS5 Slim's Ultra High-Speed USB-C port and USB 3.2 Gen 2 should theoretically be capable of around 1,000 MB/s.

So my main question is: what's the best way to install and run games?

Also, why am I only getting 170 mb/s when copying files from the external NVME to the intenrla drive? Does that mean that if I run games from the external NVME, will those games also be limited to 170 mb/s? in that case why do people recommend getting an NVME if its only going to have the same speed as a regular cheap usb pendrive?

Only getting ~175 MB/s when copying games from external NVMe SSD to internal storage — is this normal?

I bought an NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD rated at 6000 MB/s and put it in a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 enclosure.

When I connect it to my PC, I get around 1050 MB/s.

However, when I connect it to my PS5 and copy games from the external SSD to the PS5's internal storage, the maximum speed I get is only around 175 MB/s.

Is this normal?

I bought this SSD specifically for my PS5 because my old external hard drive is about 10 years old and only reaches around 45 MB/s, so I was expecting a much bigger improvement.

As far as I understand, the PS5's USB ports support USB 3.2 Gen 2 / 10 Gbps. If the USB connection supports 10 Gbps, shouldn't I be getting something closer to the ~1050 MB/s I'm getting on my PC?

Or is the PS5 itself limiting the speed when copying games from USB extended storage back to the internal SSD?

My setup:

  • NVMe SSD: PCIe 4.0, rated at 6000 MB/s
  • Enclosure: USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps)
  • PC: ~1050 MB/s
  • PS5: external SSD → internal storage: ~175 MB/s

Has anyone tested a similar setup? Is ~175 MB/s normal for this type of transfer on PS5, or should I be getting significantly higher speeds?

Thanks!

PS5 turning off after waking up from rest mode (No payloads and no games running)

Hey everyone,

I just jailbroke my PS5 on 12.70, installed NanoDNS, kstuff lite, and shadowmount.

I installed stellar blade in the internal drive, and everything is running fine.

But the console turns off every time after waking up from rest mode. At first I thought it may be the game, so I closed the game before entering rest mode, and it kept turning off, so next I disabled all payloads before entering rest mode and it keeps turning off.

Is this normal? I literally have nothing running except for payload manager which opens automatically after jailbreaking with Y2JB.

Is there a fix?

The only thing I haven't tried deleting Stella blade from the internal drive, could that be it? (Even if I'm not mounting it or playing it?

Can PS5 Games Be Played From the Internal Drive With Shadow Mount?

Hi everyone,

I just jailbroke my PS5 (firmware 12.70) using JY2B, and everything seems to be working correctly so far. I’ve already loaded the necessary payloads, including etaHEN and Shadow Mount.

I have a question about the current state of playing PS5 games.

Is it still necessary to run PS5 games from an external USB drive, or does Shadow Mount now allow us to install/copy them to the PS5’s internal SSD and play them directly from there, taking advantage of the much faster internal storage?

The reason I’m asking is that my only external drive is an old USB 3.0 HDD with a maximum read speed of around 100 MB/s. It’s probably 10+ years old.

I tried playing Stellar Blade from my external HDD. I downloaded the game and placed the folder containing all the game files inside a Homebrew folder on my external drive. The game does launch, but loading times are extremely long, and I’ve noticed that some textures fail to load properly.

So my questions are:

Can I currently copy the game to the PS5’s internal drive via FTP and run it directly from there?

Does Shadow Mount make this possible without causing crashes or sending the console to the Recovery Menu, as happened with previous methods?

Would installing an M.2 PCI gen 4 nvme in the expansion slot work?

Why do some games like spiderman 2 have a warning for not playing from the internal drive? Is this also true for shadowmount?

Thanks!

PSA: Installing Y2JB after WebKit jailbreak wiped all my PS5 save data 😭

I was on PS5 firmware 12.70 and had been waiting for a jailbreak method that didn't require restoring the console, mainly because I didn't want to lose my installed PS5 games and, more importantly, my save data. I have a lot of hours invested in games I'm still playing, so losing my saves was basically my worst nightmare.

When the WebKit method was released, I was really happy because it allowed me to jailbreak without restoring the console. I followed the process and everything worked successfully.

After that, I saw a lot of people recommending installing Y2JB via FTP, saying it was more stable/reliable and didn't require an internet connection every time like the WebKit method.

So I decided to install it.

Everything seemed completely fine.

My process was:

  1. Jailbreak using WebKit.

  2. Load the NanoDNS payload.

  3. Load the ETAHEN payload.

  4. Load the FTP payload.

  5. Connect via FTP and install Y2JB.

  6. Restart the PS5.

  7. Jailbreak using Y2JB.

  8. Everything appeared to work normally.

  9. Restart the PS5 again to test Y2JB one more time.

That's when everything went wrong.

When the PS5 turned back on, I got the "Rebuilding Database" screen. It only lasted around five seconds, and then the console booted normally.

But when I checked my system, I immediately noticed that all of my installed fpkg PS4 games were gone.

Then I checked my save data.

All of my PS5 save data was gone too.

I immediately connected through FTP to see if the games or saves were still somewhere on the filesystem.

They weren't.

My PS5 games are still installed, but all of my save data is gone. My PS4 fake package games are also gone.

I honestly have no idea what happened. As far as I know, I followed the process correctly and everything was working perfectly until that final reboot.

I'm posting this as a warning to anyone else in the same situation:

PLEASE BACK UP YOUR SAVE DATA BEFORE TRYING ANY JAILBREAK METHOD, PAYLOAD, OR TOOL THAT MODIFIES YOUR SYSTEM.

Don't make the mistake I made of assuming that because a method doesn't require a factory reset, your existing data is automatically safe.

I was specifically waiting for a method that wouldn't require restoring my console because I was so worried about losing my saves.

And now I've lost them anyway.

If anyone knows what could have caused this, whether the saves might still be recoverable, or where I should look via FTP, I would really appreciate any advice.

But regardless of whether I can recover them or not, hopefully this post saves someone else from going through what I'm going through right now.

BACK UP YOUR SAVES FIRST. Seriously.

Looking for YouTube 1.30 for Y2JB

Hi everyone,

I recently jailbroke my PS5 on firmware 12.70 using the WebKit method. I specifically chose the WebKit method because I really don't want to restore my console and lose all my installed games and save data.

Now that I have the jailbreak working, several people have recommended that I install Y2JB so that I can jailbreak without having to rely on the WebKit every time. From what I understand, the Y2JB method is generally more convenient and stable.

The problem is that I'm having trouble finding the correct YouTube version/package that I need.

I need YouTube 1.30 for 12.7, but I can't find that specific version anywhere. The only version I've been able to find is 1.03, but that version only works for 12.40 and lower.

I also found a 1.30 patch on prosperopatches, but when I go to the debug menu and try to install it, it gives me an error.

So my questions are:

- Where can I find the correct YouTube 1.30 PKG for PS5 firmware 12.70?

- How can I install the 1.30 patch for 1.03?

Any help pointing me toward the correct version and setup for 12.70 would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

PS5 12.7 WebKit jailbreak worked the first two times, now crashes at 100%

Hey everyone,

Yesterday, Modded Warfare released a video showing how to jailbreak a PS5 on firmware 12.7 using the WebKit exploit. I tried it, and the first attempt worked perfectly.

However, after injecting the payloads, the console became extremely slow and unresponsive, so I had to restart it.

I tried the jailbreak again after rebooting, and it worked a second time, but I experienced exactly the same behavior: once I injected the payloads, the console became extremely slow and I had to restart it again.

On the third attempt, things changed. Now, whenever I try the WebKit jailbreak, the process reaches 100% and then the PS5 completely shuts down. When I turn it back on, I get the message that the console is repairing the hard drive.

Since then, the WebKit jailbreak has failed every single time. I've tried it around eight times now, and every attempt ends the same way.

I've literally spent the entire day troubleshooting this because each attempt takes around 50 minutes.

I'm starting to suspect that one of the payloads I installed may be causing the problem. The payloads I installed were:

- nanoDNS

- Keystuff Lite

- ETAHen

- ShadowMount

I'm not 100% sure the payloads are responsible, but the timing makes me suspicious.

Is there any way to remove/delete the installed payloads or otherwise clear whatever was installed by the jailbreak, without restoring the PS5?

I specifically want to avoid restoring the console. That's the main reason I waited for the WebKit method instead of using the YouTube method, since I understood that the YouTube method required a restore. I really don't want to lose my installed games or save data.

Has anyone experienced the same behavior on 12.7, or know what I can do to get the WebKit jailbreak working again without restoring the console?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm completely out of ideas at this point.

PS5 crashing after jailbreak 12.7

I'm new to jailbreak, but I followed Moddedwarfare's WebKit for 12.7 tutorial. Everything went fine, but after injecting the payloads the PS5 freezes and crashes all the time.

Is this normal, or is 12.7 still not stable?

Also, I've read that downloaded PS5 games crash a lot, especially if you move them from the external drive to the internal drive.

So, can you really play PS5 games or is it not possible at the moment? The only reason I did the jailbreak was because I wanted to download games :(

Desktop audio volume is being influenced by windows volume

I just switched my old laptop for a new one, I just installed OBS but I noticed that when adding desktop audio as a source, the volume is being influenced by windows volume.

In other words, if I lower the volume in windows, it also goes down in OBS.

This wasn't the case with my old laptop. With my old laptop of I lowered the volume in windows it would still record at a 100% in OBS, and that's just how I want it!

Mucho ojo: Las bicis eléctricas de Mi Bici cuestan aparte de la suscripción

Nunca he visto que hablen de esto en ningún lugar.

Pues me llevé la desagradable sorpresa de que el uso de las bicis eléctricas cuesta.

Las estuve usando durante el mes de junio, y hoy que voy revisando mi estado de cuenta de la tarjeta veo que me hicieron el cobro de casi $500 pesos.

Marqué por teléfono a Mi Bici y me dijeron que es por el uso de bici eléctrica, según ellos cuesta $10 pesos desanclarla y solo te da 10 minutos, después te cobra $2 pesos por cada minutos.

Se me hace una verdadera mmda que no haya ningún letrero ni nada que te avise que cuesta.

En la aplicación tampoco dice nada, no hay nadie que te diga que cuesta aparte, solamente te la dejan caer con el cobro.

Mínimo hubieran mandado un correo avisando. Se pasan de ratas.

Edit: Segun a algunos si les llegó un correo avisando. A mi no.

If I restore my saved data, will that remove the jailbreak?

I'm wondering if I can restore my saved data to continue playing a game where I left it.

I'm on 12.70 so I had to restore the console with a custom backup that has the Y2JB YouTube app and it deleted everything and created a new user profile.

If I restore my saved data, Will it also restore my user profile?

Will it remove the jailbreak?
