Vynx.dev Autoloader v2.1 brings a PS5 jailbreak app for firmware 1.00-5.50 and 7.00-13.60

Vynx.dev Autoloader v2.1 is out, and it’s a PS5 jailbreak package for firmware 1.00-5.50 and 7.00-13.60. Firmware 6.xx is skipped entirely. PS4 owners aren’t forgotten, though. The Vynx jailbreak site still works on PS4 at http://vynx.dev/JB through the PS4 internet browser.

Why should a hobbyist care? This release wraps the whole flow into a homescreen app. You install it once. After that, you open Vynx.dev Autoloader from the PS5 homescreen, and it starts the jailbreak and loads Payload Manager on its own. No website, no PC host, no dance on every boot.

On the default jailbreak for 7.00-13.60, called Relapse, the console needs a local network address over Wi‑Fi or Ethernet. Internet access isn’t required, so you can unplug the router from the outside world and keep the LAN up.

There are two ways in:

1. On the PS5 Internet Browser, open http://vynx.dev/JB, click the large Vynx logo once, and keep the page open until it says Installed successfully.
2. On a Windows PC, extract the release ZIP, install Python 3.10 or newer, then right-click .START-HOST.bat and choose Run as administrator. Note the PC’s IP address, then set the PS5’s DNS to Manual and put that IP in both fields. Open Settings → User’s Guide on the PS5 to start the install.

When it’s done, stop the PC host with Ctrl+C and set the PS5’s DNS to 127.0.0.1. That keeps the console offline, which also helps you avoid a firmware update. Then restart.

If it freezes on ‘checking AIO groups’, restart and try again. If the page says your firmware is unsupported, this release just doesn’t cover your exact version.

My take: the repo has 15 stars, 21 commits and 2 forks, under AGPL-3.0. That’s a small footprint, and the readme is the only source here, so treat the compatibility claims as the authors’ claims until more people report back. The 6.xx gap is what I’d watch. In this scene, the firmware nobody covers always gets the most attention next.
