No soldering, no chips.

A new PS5 jailbreak called Relapse has been released, working on firmware versions 7.00-13.60.

An independent developer known as leor has successfully reproduced the 'Bliss' hack on an original Xbox One, achieving code execution after over 1.3 million glitch attempts. This achievement builds on the work of Markus 'Doom' Gaasedelen and demonstrates the persistence required to exploit the console's boot ROM. The process was hardware-intensive, reportedly destroying at least one flash chip.
