Two copies. Verified.
Two independent reads, two USB copies, then comparison and SHA-256 verification after closing and reopening the saved files.
MODI SFlash Beta 1
A BREAKTHROUGH IN SIMPLICITY
Back up your PS5 SFlash before you mess with it.
Got a jailbroken PS5? Press X to save two verified SFlash copies to USB. Then check how long your console has actually been active and see its available temperature and EMC error history.
Free homebrew for hobbyists and repair benches. Launch it straight from the PS5 home screen.

Discover recorded operating time.
Available recorded console operating time, displayed in days, hours, minutes and seconds. This is console operating time, rather than time spent in a particular game or the current session.
Let thermal history guide inspection.
View available recorded temperatures and EMC error events. High readings can guide a cooling inspection and help assess whether the thermal interface needs service.
FROM USB TO VERIFIED
Start in four steps.
To set up PS5 FW 13.60 with Relapse, have a working elfldr on port 9021, kstuff-lite, ShadowMountPlus and a writable USB drive.
- Prepare the USB drive.
Extract the ZIP. CopyMODI-SFlash-Beta-1.ffpkgto thehomebrewfolder on USB and plug it into the PS5. - Start the jailbreak and mount the app.
Run Relapse and wait for elfldr on port 9021. Load kstuff-lite for your firmware, then ShadowMountPlus. If your host loads them automatically, wait for the app tile. - Open the MODI SFlash tile and press X.
Keep the USB drive connected while the application reads and verifies both copies. - Wait for VERIFIED.
The copies, checksums, manifest and logs are saved underMODI_PS5_SFLASH_ROon USB.
The engine is embedded. No separate ELF or payload-folder copy is needed for this package.

Backup, operating time and history.
Console Information shows available model, drive, storage and firmware information. Identifiers are masked by default. Options include automatic language selection, manual PL/EN selection and two text styles.

COMING NEXT / IN DEVELOPMENT
A programming tool for the community.
We plan to release a chip-programming tool for the community. The goal is to make writing a suitable, verified backup directly to a flash chip easier. The tool and recovery workflow are still in development; physical-chip recovery with this app’s backup has not yet been validated.
BETA 1 / TEST COVERAGE
Console tests and pending targets.
The MODI team reports verification on the FAT and Slim models below. All reported completed console tests used firmware 13.60. Results apply to the combinations listed; pending targets are not compatibility claims.
| Console | Model | Firmware | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| FAT | CFI-1016 | 13.60 | Verified — reported by MODI |
| FAT | CFI-1116 | 13.60 | Verified — reported by MODI |
| Slim | CFI-2016 | 13.60 | Verified — reported by MODI |
| Slim | CFI-2116 | 13.60 | Verified — reported by MODI |
| PS5 Pro | — | 13.20 | Pending |
Additional firmware testing
| Firmware | Status |

The embedded engine is byte-for-byte identical to the engine independently checked against a completed 13.60 backup: both saved copies were 2 MiB and matched. The final Beta 1 frontend passed PC compilation and rendering checks; this exact frontend has not yet been retested on a console.
The app backs up the SFlash image exposed by the console. SSD contents, game saves and optical-drive pairing recovery are outside the verified backup scope. Recorded thermal events are not a guarantee of the highest lifetime temperature and do not diagnose a cooling fault on their own.
