2017 has been here for a few weeks now, and it’s high time we did a recap of the PS4 Jailbreak scene.
So far in 2017, PS4 Jailbreaks have been confirmed to work up to firmware 4.05 included. However, nothing has been publicly released for 4.xx firmwares. The latest firmware that has been publicly hacked is firmware 1.76.
In other words, if you want to Jailbreak your PS4 in 2017, you’ll need to get your hands on a PS4 running firmware 1.76, or be extremely well connected with the hackers who have access to the 4.05 jailbreak.
As for firmware 4.07, the latest at the time of this writing, nothing’s even been publicly demonstrated at the moment. Once again, we need to warn people against scammy websites that promise a 4.07 PS4 Jailbreak: typically these sites will ask you to fill a survey in order to download the “Jailbreak”. If you’re lucky to not get a virus in the process, we can guarantee with 100% accuracy that the file you download will not be a 4.07 PS4 Jailbreak. You will, however, have made the owners of the website rich during the process of answering surveys for which they get paid.
you are running firmware 1.76 or lower
Congratulations. Your PS4 is Jailbreakable. But, honestly, if you own a PS4 at such a low firmware, you already knew that, didn’t you? You can run unsigned code on your PS4 through the dlclose exploit, and this includes running cool stuff such as Linux. Head over to this page for details.
