Finally Here: The Complete Guide to Jailbreaking PS4 Firmware 13.52 (RAW13G + GoldHEN) 🚀
After months of waiting and anticipation across the PlayStation community, the moment we've all been waiting for has arrived.
The long-awaited jailbreak for PS4 firmware 13.52 and below has finally been released.
Get ready — in this guide, we'll walk together step by step, with matching screenshots, to learn how to protect your console from Sony's forced updates,
activate the exploit successfully, and start installing games you have the right to use.
Part 1: Step-by-Step Visual Guide 🛠️
1. Confirm Your Firmware Version & A Critical Warning!
First things first — this exploit works on firmware versions: 13.02, 13.04, 13.50, and 13.52. Verify your console's version by going to (Settings > System > System Information) as shown in the screenshot below.
⚠️ Ban Warning — Take This Seriously!
Surprisingly, Sony has not blocked PSN access for users on this firmware (see the screenshot below — the Store still opens). However, do not sign in with your main account or play online while the jailbreak is active. Your account or console could face a permanent ban — and nothing can be guaranteed. Use a separate test account only.
2. Block Sony's Updates (DNS Configuration)
This is the most important step in the entire guide. We need to stop the console from downloading firmware 14.00 and beyond. Follow the screenshots carefully:
- Go to Settings > Network > Set Up Internet Connection and choose Custom as shown below:
- Under IP settings, choose Automatic. While preparing the browser, we need to clean up browsing data in the following order:
-
Here's the secret! Under DNS settings, choose Manual and enter this address precisely in the Primary DNS field:
62.210.38.117
How to verify you're safe?
Try "Update System Software" now. If you get an error saying the server connection failed — congratulations, you're protected from Sony's unexpected updates.
3. Clean the Browser (Prep the Stage for the Exploit)
The exploit runs inside the console's built-in browser (WebKit). Any old browsing data can act as interference and destabilize the exploit.
So open the browser, press the Options button on your controller, and follow the screenshots:
Delete Cookies → Clear Website Data → Clear All Browsing History.
4. Launch the Exploit & Activate Jailbreak 🔥
The crucial moment! From the browser's address bar, type this URL exactly:
raw13g.github.io
Once it loads, you'll see the welcome message: "Cached for offline" — meaning the exploit has been saved locally. Next time, you won't even need internet!
💡 Don't Panic If You Hit These Errors:
Keep in mind the exploit is still very new. It's completely normal to see the "Not enough free system memory" error, or to be asked to restart the console. These messages can appear during a run and don't necessarily mean success or failure. Don't give up — press OK or restart the console and try again two or three times until it works.
When it finally succeeds, you'll be greeted with the "Welcome to PS4 HEN" message or a brief black screen that returns you to the home menu — and your console is fully prepared.
🌟 The Next Level: Upgrading to the Legendary GoldHEN!
The biggest news in the community over the past hours is the repository update!
The developers have added the powerful GoldHEN alongside the older HEN build.
GoldHEN offers a broader set of homebrew management features compared to the basic HEN, but behavior and stability may vary
depending on the version and build. Always follow the official developer source and verify compatibility with your firmware before installing.
5. Install Games (Fake Packages) & Enjoy! 🎮
Now it's harvest time. To install PKG packages or apps you have the right to use, follow these steps:
- Format an external HDD or USB flash drive in
exFATformat. - Copy the package file (in PKG format) directly to the root of the drive (not inside folders).
- From the PS4 menu, go to Settings — you'll find a new menu called HEN Settings (or GoldHEN). Open it and select Install Packages from USB, then start the installation.

FAQ — PS4 13.52 & RAW13G
Which firmware versions does this guide cover?
The original source mentions 13.02, 13.04, 13.50, and 13.52. We kept these specific versions instead of generalizing to "all older firmware".
Is the jailbreak permanent after rebooting the console?
Don't treat the exploit as a permanent modification. In modern PS4 guides, you'll typically need to re-run the exploit after every full reboot.
What should I do when "Not enough free system memory" appears?
This is a common error during exploit attempts according to community sources. Restart the console, then retry following the same order in the guide. If the problem persists, refer to the original source.
Can I use my primary PSN account during testing?
No guarantee can be made about account or console consequences. To reduce risk, avoid your primary account with unofficial steps — use a separate test account.
Does this guide cover game installation?
Yes, it covers installing PKG packages from USB via the HEN/GoldHEN menu, emphasizing that you should only use files and apps you have the right to use.
