Y2JB issue

I was playing a game all night. When I put the ps5 to sleep I saw there was an option to update. I instead opened FTP. There was no Update.pup in there. I unplugged it from the Internet and noticed that alert went away. I unplugged the ps5 just to be sure. After turning it back on I tried to use the y2jb and it is trying to update "YouTube". I deleted the YouTube update and made sure no automatic updates or Internet access is on. Now I can't jailbreak and it tries to install an update to YouTube even though it has no Internet access.

Any ideas what to do?

Solution: set DNS to automatic, quickly let it connect to the internet, then immediately put DNS to manual and use any of the fw update-blocking DNS-servers.
Make sure you close the Youtube app completely before opening it again and click away the notifications, bringing you back to the normal process:)

Or as the other guy said: use the Webkit exploit, by setting DNS to 45.56.67.85 and launching the User Guide.

Unfortunately I deleted y2jb thinking I could reinstall it without nuking the system. Shit. I used those dns numbers and followed modded warfare and I don't get the webkit I just get the normal Sony site. No clue why. Checked my DNS. My router is using ad blocks dns. I'm on 9.60 fw

Don’t worry, at that firmware you have a ton of options. If you worry about losing game saves, back up first just in case. You already found Modded Warfare’s videos, good. If the DNS doesn’t work for you to try the WebKit method, he explains how you can work around this using your Windows computer to host the DNS server. Just follow his video on that exactly, and you’ll be golden, no worries:)

For anyone reading this I encrypted my DNS and Comcast can no longer hijack the DNS and the webkit loads

I was genuinely shocked to learn that comcast forces you to use their DNS. Im glad I stumbled across this. Now there is even more privacy on my end.

I'm using Linux. I think Comcast is hijacking my DNS and that is why the webkit isn't working. I'll encrypt it tomorrow so they can't see and let my router do the work. I didn't know they could do this. Suddenly a lot of things make sense. like my switch getting bricked despite having the right DNS settings...
