Hi everyone. I hope you're all doing

well today. In this video, I'm going to

show you how to jailbreak your PS4 using

the Lua loader method, but this time

we'll be using a digital game. I'll walk

you through everything from creating a

Japanese PSN account, installing Lua,

all the way to the jailbreak process

itself. I'll also show you how to create

your own save file patched with a Lua

script, so we won't be using someone

else's save. All right, let's jump

straight into the tutorial.

[Music]

All right, before we begin, I want to

explain a few important things so

there's no confusion about this

tutorial. As we all know, Luis scripts

only work on PS4 firmware up to version

12.02. Currently, the latest PS4

firmware is already at version 12.50.

Even though on firmware 12.50, the

userland already supports Lua scripts,

it still can't fully activate the

jailbreak and hen payload. Now, let me

show you what happens when we run the

Lua autoload script on firmware 12.50.

As you can see here, this is my PS4

running on firmware 12.50. The Lua game

is already installed and I've patched

the save file with the Lua autoloader

script. Now, let's go ahead and launch

the game.

[Music]

As you can see here, it shows a message

saying unsupported firmware version. And

that's because Luis scripts on firmware

12.50 still can't fully jailbreak the

PS4. So yeah, just like I mentioned

earlier, that's why I need to clarify

that everything you're about to see in

this video. Now, you might be wondering,

why release the tutorial now if it's

already too late? Well, don't worry.

This tutorial will still be useful in

the future if Luis scripts become full

functional again on firmware versions

above 12.0. 02. So, starting now, it's a

good idea to install a Lua game, and

I'll show you exactly how in this video.

I hope that explanation clears things

up. All right, moving on. Since all Lua

games are region locked to Japan, we'll

need to install them using a Japanese

region account, and I'll show you how to

do that. As the title suggests, we'll be

using a digital Lua game in this

tutorial. The great thing about digital

games is that they're free. You don't

have to spend any money to get them. Out

of all the Lua games available, at least

four of them have free demo versions you

can download. This is a huge advantage

compared to physical copies, which are

usually expensive, especially if you

live far from the seller. You'd have to

pay extra for shipping and possibly even

customs fees depending on your country.

With digital games, you can simply

download them directly from the PSN

store, but again, since these are Japan

region games, you'll need a Japanese PSN

account. If you use an account from

another region, you won't be able to

find the games on the PlayStation store.

So now, let's start by creating a

Japanese region PSN account. Let's

assume the latest PS4 firmware is still

12.02. As you can see, my PS4 is not

logged into any PSN account. You can

create a Japanese account through a web

browser or directly on the PS4. In this

tutorial, we're going to do it directly

on the PS4 since it's faster. All right.

First, make sure you've prepared an

email address that hasn't been

registered on PSN before. Once you have

that ready, go to your PS4 and open the

power menu. Make sure your PS4 is

connected to the internet beforehand.

Select switch user, then choose new user

and then create a new user. Accept the

terms and then click next.

On the next screen, select create an

account.

[Music]

Now, for the region, make sure you

choose Japan. This is very important

because, as I mentioned earlier, Lua

games are only available in the Japanese

region. Once you select Japan, the

language will switch to Japanese. And

unfortunately, you won't be able to

change it during the account creation

process. But don't worry, just follow

along with the video. Or if you're

curious, you can use the Google Lens app

to translate the text on your screen.

All right, moving on. Fill in your date

of birth here and make sure you're at

least 18 years old.

When you're done, select next.

Now you'll need to enter a Japanese

postal code. You can find one easily on

the internet. In this example, I'm going

to use one and six zeros. If the postal

code is valid, the prefecture and

municipality fields will be filled in

automatically. Then select next again.

Now on this screen, starting from the

top, enter your email address. Then

below that, type your password twice.

Once done, choose next.

[Music]

You'll then be asked to select an avatar

for your account. After that, you'll set

your user ID followed by your first and

last name. Remember this PSN ID or go

ahead and write it down because we're

going to need it later when resigning

the Louis save game.

Then click next.

You'll now see the privacy policy

screen. If you want, you can read it

using Google Lens and adjust the

settings according to your preferences.

For this tutorial, I'll leave everything

as default. Select the button on the

right to continue. Click next.

Then click next again.

And once more, click the button on the

right.

[Music]

Now it's time to verify your email. Open

your email inbox and look for the

verification message from PSN. Click the

verification link inside. Once it's

verified, go back to your PS4 and click

the button here.

[Music]

Then click next. On the next screen,

select the button on the far left

and again the one on the left.

You'll now be taken to the PlayStation

Plus page. Press the back button to

exit.

Here, select the button on the left.

Choose okay. On this screen, select

cancel because we're not going to

transfer any data. Hit okay again. And

that's it. We've successfully created a

Japanese region PSN account. Now we're

ready to install the demo version of a

Lua game, so we can get it completely

free. Next, go to the PlayStation Store

from the main menu.

[Music]

Once you're in, select the search icon

at the top.

[Music]

Type in the name of a Lua compatible

game that has a demo version. You can

find a list of demo games on Charnet's

GitHub page. There are at least four

demo versions available. If you want,

you can download all of them, but in

this tutorial, we're just going to

download one, for example, the demo

version of Fuyu Kiss. Type the game's

name into the search bar.

And when the results appear, make sure

you select the demo version. If there

are multiple versions of the same game,

double check that you're selecting the

one marked as demo. If it doesn't ask

for any payment during the selection

process, that's a good sign it's the

demo version. You can also use Google

Lens to translate the Japanese text on

the screen and confirm you've selected

the correct version. Once you're sure

it's the demo version, go ahead and

click on the game to start the

installation.

Select the button at the bottom to begin

the download.

Then wait for the game to finish

downloading and installing.

[Music]

All right, the game has been

successfully installed.

Before we continue, I forgot to mention

something important. Make sure your

primary account is activated on your

PS4. To check this, go to settings,

[Music]

then account management, and select

activate as your primary PS4. If the

activate button is grayed out and can't

be selected anymore, that means it's

already set correctly. Now, let's move

on to the next step. At this stage,

we're going to create a save file for

our Lua game. Technically, you can use

someone else's save that has already

been patched with a Louisis script and

then simply resign it to your own

account using a Discord bot or Apollo

save tool on another jailbroken PS4. But

in this video, as the title suggests,

we're going to create and patch the save

file ourselves so you can learn exactly

how it's done. Since we just installed

the game, there's no save data yet. You

can verify this by going to the PS4

settings, then storage,

and checking the saved data section. As

you can see, there's no save file for

the Lua game yet. So, let's go ahead and

create one. Launch the game.

All right, just a quick correction. If

you've seen my previous video where I

said that simply launching the game will

automatically create the save file,

well, that part was actually wrong. you

do need to manually save the game from

the in-game save menu because if you

don't, the save file can't be decrypted

later on. So yeah, we still need to

manually save it through the games menu.

Okay, now let me show you how to save

the game properly in this one. And most

likely it's going to be the same for

other Lua based games as well. On the

game's main menu, select start,

then continue by pressing circle. Once

the game begins, just press circle a few

more times to throw some text. Now press

square to open the menu. Then select

this icon to save the game. In other Lua

based games, the menu might look

different. So feel free to use Google

Lens to translate the screen and find

the save option.

Next, press circle, then circle again to

confirm.

All right, the save file has now been

created and we can exit the Lua game.

Now let's quit the game and go back to

the settings to check whether the save

file has been created. Go to settings,

storage, saved data again. And as you

can see, the save file is now there. The

next step is to patch this save file

with a Lua script. In this case, we're

going to use the auto Lua loader script,

which automatically loads Payload hen.

First, we need to copy the save file to

a USB flash drive. Make sure the flash

drive is formatted to XFAT before

plugging it into your PS4. Now on the

PS4, go to settings, application saved

data management, save data in system

storage. Copy to USB storage device.

If you see a prompt, just hit okay.

Select your Luagame save file. Check the

box and choose copy to start

transferring it to your USB drive.

Once the transfer is complete, remove

the USB drive from your PS4 and plug it

into your computer. Now let's move over

to the computer. The save data is still

encrypted. So before we can patch it

with a Louisis script, we need to

decrypt it. To do that, we'll use a

Discord bot. But first, we need to

upload the save file to Google Drive so

the bot can access it. Open your Google

Drive and create a new folder. For

example, name it Luis Save. You can name

it whatever you want.

Then change the folder's sharing

permissions so the bot can read and

write to it. Rightclick the folder,

choose share, then click share again.

Change the general access from

restricted to anyone with the link and

set the permission to editor.

Click done when you're finished. Now,

inside the lave folder, create another

folder to keep the original save data

separate from the patched one. Let's

name this one save, but feel free to use

a different name.

Then open your USB flash drive.

Navigate to the PS4 save data folder and

keep going deeper into the folder until

you find these two encrypted save files

right here. Upload both of these files

into the save ori folder in Google

Drive.

Wait for the upload to finish. All

right, it's done.

[Music]

All right, we're all set. Now, we're

going to tell the bot to decrypt the

save file we just uploaded. First, join

the HTOS Discord server. You can find

the invite link in the video

description. Once you're in, go to the

HTO channel.

Look for the PSBOT. It has a logo that

looks like this. Click on get started.

After that, you'll see your user ID

appear below the channel name. Just

click on it to proceed. The patching

process involves several steps. First,

you decrypt the original save file.

Then, you insert the Lua files into the

decrypted data. After that, you reenrypt

the modified save file and resign it to

your own PSN ID with the same time. All

right, now let's get started. Type the

command/derypt in the Discord chat. When

the bot suggestion appears above, make

sure to select the same bot we used

earlier with the matching logo. For the

first option, choose false. Then click

on the Google Drive link option. This is

where we'll enter the link to the folder

where we want the decrypted save to be

placed. So go back to Google Drive. In

my case, I'll use the same location as

the save or folder. That means I'll take

the link from the parent folder of the

Louisis save directory. Right click on

the folder name, choose share, then

click copy link. Now paste that link

into the Google Drive link field on the

Discord bot. Press enter to continue.

Now the bot will ask for the link to the

encrypted save file. Go back to Google

Drive, rightclick the save ori folder

where we uploaded the original save from

the USB. Click share and copy the link.

Return to the Discord bot. Paste the

link in the chat and press enter. Now we

wait while the bot processes the

request.

Once the decryption process is complete,

a message will appear letting you know

that the files are being uploaded to

your Google Drive. Okay, it's done.

You'll see a download button. You can

download the file directly here or from

your Google Drive. I'll head back to

Google Drive. As you can see, a new zip

file has been added. This is the

decrypted version of our original save

file. Download it.

And once the download is complete,

extract the zip file.

[Music]

You can store the original zip somewhere

else for backup, especially in case you

need it again. if the Lewis script gets

updated later. For now, I'm going to

delete it to avoid confusion. Open the

extracted folder and you'll see several

decrypted files from your original save.

Now, we're going to insert the Lua

script files. First, let's download the

autolua loader script. I'm already on

the GitHub page. This is the creator.

Click code, then click download zip.

Once downloaded, extract the zip file.

Then open the save data folder inside.

Copy all the files from there and paste

them into the decrypted save folder,

merging them with the save data files.

[Music]

If prompted, choose replace the files in

the destination.

Great. Now we need to reenrypt the save

file. To do this, we'll upload the

folder containing both the decrypted

save data and the auto Lua loader script

back to Google Drive. I'll go ahead and

delete the old decrypted zip file from

Google Drive. This is optional. I'm only

doing it to keep things tidy. Now,

upload the folder that contains the

merged files, the one with both the

decrypted save data and the Lua script.

Wait for the upload to finish.

Once it's done, we're ready to reenrypt

the save.

Head back to Discord and type the

command/onrypt.

Make sure to select the same bot as

before.

In the first and second options, choose

false.

[Music]

In the next field, click on PlayStation

ID and enter the PSN ID you created

earlier. This is the one I told you to

take note of.

Press tab to move to the next option.

Now, click Google Drive link. Here,

enter the link to the folder where the

final encrypted save file will be

stored. I'll use the same LUA save

folder again. Just like before, go to

Google Drive, rightclick the folder

name, select share, then copy link.

Paste the link into the chat and press

enter.

[Music]

Just like before, the bot will now ask

for the original encrypted save link. Go

back to Google Drive. Right click on the

save ori folder. Click share, then copy

link. Paste the link into Discord and

press enter.

[Music]

Now the bot will ask for the link to the

folder that contains the merged save

data and Lewis script files. Go to

Google Drive, right click on that

folder, click share, and copy the link.

Then paste it into the Discord chat and

press enter.

Now wait while the bot processes and

uploads the re-encrypted save. As you

can see at the top, the bot is currently

uploading the file.

Wait for the process to finish. This

process can be quick or take quite a

while. It all depends on how busy the

server is at the time.

Once the encryption is complete, you'll

get a download button. You can download

it directly or access it through your

Google Drive. I'll download it from

Google Drive.

[Music]

Once downloaded, extract the compressed

file.

[Music]

Now, copy the PS4 folder, which now

contains the patched save game with the

auto lua loader script, onto your USB

flash drive so we can import it back

into the PS4. Before we continue, let's

delete the original PS4 folder from the

flash drive to avoid any confusion with

the patched save. Now, copy the new PS4

folder, the one that contains the save

file already patched with the auto Lua

loader script, onto the flash drive.

Make sure you copy the entire PS4 folder

itself, not just its contents, because

the folder structure needs to remain

intact in order for the PS4 to detect it

properly. Since this is our first time

activating HEN, we also need to copy the

HEN payload to the root of the flash

drive. In this case, we're using the Hen

VTX payload, make sure to use the

version that matches your firmware. In

this tutorial, it's version 12.02.

Once copied, rename the payload file to

payload.bin, just as instructed by the

creator of the Lua autoloader script on

GitHub. Now, eject the flash drive from

your computer and plug it into your PS4.

On the PS4, go to settings,

application saved data management.

This time, choose saved data on USB

storage device. Then select copy to

system storage.

Choose the Lua game save. Check the box

and hit copy.

If a prompt appears asking to overwrite

an existing save, choose yes.

Wait for the copying process to

complete.

Done. Now return to the PS4 home screen.

We're going to launch the game to

trigger the jailbreak and activate hen.

But before we do that, let me show you

that the debug settings menu is

currently missing. This means jailbreak

and hen are not yet active. All right,

back to the home screen. Let's launch

the game.

As you can see, the PS4 autoload

notification has appeared,

and the HEN payload was successfully

copied to the PS4's internal storage.

And here's the final notification. This

confirms that jailbreak and hen have

been successfully activated. Now go to

the PS4 settings menu and scroll down.

You should see debug settings has

appeared, confirming that the jailbreak

worked on firmware 12.02.

All right, that's the end of the

tutorial for now, but I also want to

show you how the jailbreak works using

this digital Lua demo game when it's run

on firmware 11.00.

[Music]

As you can see here, my PS4 is now on

firmware 11.00.

This is the same PS4 from earlier, and

you can verify that by checking the MAC

address. Currently, debug settings is

still not showing, meaning hen is not

yet activated.

This time, I'll be using a different Lua

game, which already has a save file

patched with the auto Lua loader script.

All right, let's launch the game.

And there we go. The jailbreak has

successfully run and hen is now

activated.

[Music]

All right, that wraps up today's

tutorial. As you've seen, using a

digital Lua game as a jailbreak method

is much simpler, faster, and definitely

more affordable compared to using

physical Blu-ray Lua games. With digital

versions, you don't need to spend a

single scent. They're available as free

demos directly from the Japanese

PlayStation store. No need to worry

about shipping costs, import taxes, or

waiting days for a disc to arrive. Just

download, patch the save, and you're

ready to jailbreak. So, what you need to

do right now is download the digital

demo version of a Lua game as soon as

possible. This is important in case Lua

scripts become compatible with the

latest firmware version 12.50. By

downloading the game now, you'll already

have it installed on your PS4 and be

fully prepared if a future update allows

the jailbreak to work again. So, don't

wait. Secure the game while it's still

available. I hope this guide was

helpful. And if it was, don't forget to

like, share, and subscribe for more PS4

jailbreak content. Thanks for watching

and I'll see you in the next one.
