PS4 Jailbreak 12.02
PS4 Jailbreak 12.02 with GoldHEN & PS4 HEN VTX
The PS4 jailbreak scene has some exciting news—firmware 12.02 is now jailbreakable with two solid options: PS4 HEN VTX and GoldHEN 2.4 beta.

👉 PS4 HEN VTX – A lightweight jailbreak created by Echo Stretch. It focuses on essentials like unlocking debug settings and installing fake PKG files. It’s reliable, simple, and works on more firmware versions than GoldHEN (like 8.50).
👉 GoldHEN 2.4 beta – A feature-rich jailbreak by Cyro that officially supports firmware 12.00 & 12.02. It offers overlays, cheats, system info, plugin support, and built-in FTP access. Everything runs smoothly, and rest mode works without issues.
Currently, the exploit still needs a Lua-compatible disc or demo to trigger. Once set up, you can inject payloads via USB or network tools like Netcat. After running GoldHEN or PS4 HEN, you’ll have full jailbreak access.
Whether you want a minimal jailbreak (PS4 HEN VTX) or a powerful all-in-one solution (GoldHEN), firmware 12.02 is now open for both.

What is PS4 HEN VTX and how is it different from GoldHEN?
- PS4 HEN VTX: A lightweight jailbreak by Echo Stretch. It focuses on essentials such as enabling debug settings and PKG installation. Works across multiple firmware versions.
- GoldHEN: A feature-rich jailbreak by Cyro. It includes cheats, FPS overlays, plugins, and FTP access. If you want simplicity, go with HEN VTX; if you want more power and features, GoldHEN is the better option.

Do I need a disc or special game to use the jailbreak exploit?

How do I send the payload to my PS4 after setting up the exploit?
Once the Lua game or demo triggers the exploit, you can send the payload using tools like Netcat GUI or a bin loader. For GoldHEN, rename the file to payload.bin
, place it on a USB drive, and it loads automatically when triggered.
