Full Changelog: v1.1.0...v1.3.0

Y2JB Installer 1.3.0

1.3.0 — 2026-11-03

Debian packages (.deb) for Debian/Ubuntu on amd64 and arm64.
Option to select custom repositories for download0.dat.
YouTube setup is now per region (USA PPSA01650, Europe PPSA01651, Japan PPSA01652), with independent install state, download0.dat release selection, upload, and removal for each region.
YouTube installation now reports the console install phase, byte progress, and Sony failure descriptions instead of assuming the install succeeds.
Signed universal Android APK in release artifacts.
Android build documentation and signing instructions.

Setup steps no longer close automatically after an action, so multiple regions can be configured without reopening the step.
The Send payload button stays disabled until Connect has been used for the entered console IP.
The repository picker keeps showing the selected repository's label instead of switching to its slug.
The console internet warning is now shown as a red alert.
Release CI now builds the PS5 payload once and shares it across macOS, Linux, Windows, and Android jobs.
The release workflow can refresh assets on an existing release without moving its tag.

Firmware 13.40–13.60 installs are fixed. The installer now selects YouTube v01.000.030 instead of v01.009.253 on these firmwares. On affected consoles v01.009.253 booted straight to YouTube's Welcome screen, skipped the cached Y2JB splash, and left download0.dat unloaded, so the jailbreak never started. v01.000.030 only requires FW 12.20 and still triggers the splash. v01.009.253 remains pinned in the manifest for manual use.
Firmware 11.40 is now supported. The autoloader gained the missing Relapse offsets in v1.0.4, so 11.40 uses the normal v01.000.003 mapping instead of being listed as unsupported.
The YouTube step now shows a computing state while the cache scan is still running instead of claiming no files are cached.
Fake sign-in upload failures now report the payload's actual reason instead of a blank fakesignin: message.
Connection and scan messages now distinguish an unreachable console from a reachable console with elfldr stopped, and explain the ports involved: elfldr on 9021 and the installer payload on 47291.
A download0.dat created by YouTube is no longer treated as a Y2JB setup; a region is only marked ready when the image contains an autoloader_version or version_string marker.

Only the macOS build was manually tested. Windows, Linux, and Android artifacts were built by CI and were not tested on clean machines.

Supported firmware: 4.03–13.60. Firmware 11.40 is now supported.

Requirements: kernel read/write access from a compatible exploit, and an ELF loader on port 9021.

Disconnect the console from the internet before opening YouTube. An online launch can overwrite download0.dat and require reinstalling it.
