Phase 0.9E-R2 community backup correlation

Date: 2026-07-19

Only the three named official GitHub repositories and their release metadata were inspected. No mirror or general scene download was used. Metadata, source trees, and release assets were read statically; downloaded archives were not executed.

Candidate matrix

Family	Relevant release identity	Firmware statement	Public system backup	Components/autoload	Decision
`itsPLK/ps5-y2jb-autoloader`	`v0.8-a0146a2`, commit `a0146a2a9229fa5df5b5127257bf2e11ffc6d2de`	4.03–12.70	no; README explicitly says the project does not distribute preconfigured system backups	Lapse blob `190996c…`, P2JB blob `510bf4b…`, elfldr submodule `148b71c…`, Payload Manager submodule `5d33ce1…`; exploit and localhost elfldr auto-load, later payloads use `autoload.txt`	`THIRD_PARTY_BUILD_FROM_PUBLIC_SOURCE_POSSIBLE`, but unbound
`owendswang/Y2JB-P2JB-bdj_unpatch`	`v1.4-autoloader`, commit `9990e917cdb24c249ce24f4ff18e6e869e99cf51`	tag README says 9.00–12.40 disc; downloaded backup name says 7.61	yes	Gezine Y2JB base declared; Lapse/P2JB blobs and embedded elfldr are identifiable; no Payload Manager identity at this tag	downloaded candidate inner and structure do not match
`lz-anonz/Y2X`	`v1.3`, commit `2ae881259be647738713b83a6a91ffe693ccf9af`	4.03–12.70	no current large release asset despite README backup wording	P2JB/Lapse, v1/v2 embedded elfldr, Payload Manager 0.3.1 and FTP; v2 auto-loads Manager/FTP and warns against kstuff in autoload	excluded by asset inventory; no large download

The relevant tag was published 2026-06-10 09:05:51Z, before the local inner ZIP timestamp. Its official assets are only:

download0.dat, 336789504 bytes, SHA-256 268c82f7a8f581c804949a86c259c982953ff479c13a3dc9f9da02c354b32d6e;
y2jb_update.zip, 1152857 bytes, SHA-256 301599b05e7eb7224025ef9ed6ebc896d86d2c14bba5c32ced5a88bdf2c3517e.

Its README's firmware range, “Autoloader” naming, timing, and credit to Rush for creating a backup make the family plausible. The same README explicitly says itsPLK does not distribute such backups. No public hash, backup asset, MediaFire link, or maker attestation binds this source to the local bytes. Accordingly it is not an official itsPLK release and is not promoted to THIRD_PARTY_REPACK_PROVENANCE_BOUND.

Release v1.4-autoloader published 2026-06-10 09:01:19Z includes:

download0_Y2JB+autoloader-20260609.zip, 333151616 bytes;
PS5-12.20-backup-Y2JB+autoloader-20260609-en.zip, 498991549 bytes;
PS5-7.61-backup-Y2JB+autoloader-20260609-en.zip, 504425435 bytes.

The 7.61 backup was the sole downloaded community candidate because its family, date, and size were concrete matches. Its local download exactly matched GitHub size and SHA-256 8552d7c3c7bb3f078d967f56dfe1b488b37e3ed13e10c5fe97ae222482d56897. Its inner is 504627200 bytes with SHA-256 d4f9b1ba4e32af175a3431a7734085d5420370ebb79f9a32852eb824a90e190e. The local inner is 262144 bytes smaller, has a different full hash, differs byte-for-byte, and has version/count 3/62 rather than 6/58. Normalized segment layout and section hashes also differ.

Classification: no COMMUNITY_INNER_BYTE_MATCH.

Release v1.3 published 2026-06-10 21:58:27Z has only:

USB-ps5_autoloader.rar, 904337 bytes;
v1.3-download0-Y2X-P2JB+Lapse.rar, 521801 bytes.

The source contains autoload and embedded components, but the current release does not expose a system-backup object to compare. README language is not a byte identity. No large asset was downloaded.

Download bound

One of the maximum three allowed community backups was downloaded. It used one attempt, no resume, and no retry. The other two families had no public large candidate justified by their own release metadata.
