Y2JB PS5 Jailbreak – YouTube Exploit by Gezine
The Y2JB is a breakthrough for the PlayStation 5 jailbreak scene. Developed by Gezine, it’s the first YouTube-based userland exploit that runs directly through the PS5 YouTube app — no game or browser needed.
This marks a major step forward, especially for digital-only PS5 consoles, as it opens a new entry point for code execution on firmwares up to 10.01.
Currently, Y2JB is in its developer-only stage — designed for advanced users and testers with an already jailbroken PS5. It’s still unstable and doesn’t yet include a public backup file for retail consoles.
However, it represents the first real progress toward a stable jailbreak method that could soon replace older Lua game-based exploits.
What Is Y2JB?
Y2JB (YouTube JailBreak) is a userland code-execution exploit that works entirely inside the PS5 YouTube app.
By hijacking internal YouTube scripts, it allows the execution of custom payloads — without needing a browser or disc-based game.
Once paired with future kernel exploits (like Laps) and payload tools such as GoldHen, ETAHen, or kstuff, Y2JB could eventually enable full PS5 jailbreaks on firmwares 4.03 – 10.01, with future potential for higher versions once kernel offsets are updated.
⚠️ Note: Y2JB currently provides only userland access — it cannot yet run payloads or enable homebrew. Regular users should wait for a stable public release.
Who Should Use Y2JB?
Y2JB is meant for developers and testers, not general users.
If you already have a jailbroken PS5, you can install the exploit manually through:
- FTP access
- or a YouTube v1.03 app backup
Avoid using newer YouTube versions as they break the exploit. For now, end users should wait for a stable version or a premade USB backup once it’s released publicly.
Requirements & Compatibility
- YouTube App Version: 1.03 (tested build)
- Supported Firmware: 4.03 – 10.01
- Exploit Type: Userland only (no kernel access yet)
- Tools Required: FTP access or premade USB backup (for developers)
- Important: Block YouTube auto-updates using DNS (e.g. 62.210.38.117).
Currently, there are no kernel exploits for firmwares 10.20–11.60 or 12.00–12.02, but Y2JB provides the entry point needed for when those become available.
Download Y2JB Jailbreak
You can download the official Y2JB exploit files and documentation from Gezine’s GitHub page.
The package includes the exploit source, setup guide, and compatibility notes.
You’ll also need the YouTube 1.03 PKG file used during testing.

Conclusion
The Y2JB YouTube exploit is a huge leap forward for PS5 jailbreak development.
While not ready for end users yet, its browser-free approach could make PS5 jailbreaking easier and more accessible soon — even on digital-only consoles.
Stay updated through the official Y2JB GitHub channels for future stable releases with full GoldHen and ETAHen and kstuff payload support.
FAQ
What is Y2JB PS5 Jailbreak?
Y2JB is a YouTube-based userland exploit for PS5 that enables code execution without a browser or game. It’s the first step toward a full PS5 jailbreak.
Do I need FTP to use Y2JB?
Not for end users. Developers can use FTP to test the exploit, but regular users will only need a USB backup once a stable version is released.
Which PS5 firmwares are supported?
Y2JB supports PS5 firmware 4.03–10.01. Higher versions (10.20–12.02) need kernel exploits to be compatible.
Is Y2JB safe for regular users?
Not yet. The release is unstable and meant only for developers. Wait for an updated public version with full payload and kernel support.
