✅ Requirements

  • PlayStation 5 console with latest firmware
  • Cronus Zen device with updated firmware
  • Quality USB-C to USB-A cable (controller to Zen)
  • USB-A to USB-A cable (Zen to PS5)
  • RocketMod AIM (COD) script installed
  • Controller with working D-pad buttons

🔓 Method 1 — USB Cable Bypass (Recommended)

🎮 Step 1 — Enable Bluetooth on PlayStation 5

  1. Power on your PlayStation 5 console
  2. Navigate to Settings from the main menu
  3. Go to System → Console Information
  4. Ensure Bluetooth is enabled
  5. Return to main settings menu

🔌 Step 2 — Configure Controller Communication

  1. Navigate to Settings → Accessories → Controllers
  2. Select Controller (General)
  3. Set Communication Method to "Use USB Cable"
  4. Save the setting and exit menu

Important: This forces the PS5 to prioritize USB communication over Bluetooth, essential for Zen authentication.

🖥️ Step 3 — Connect Controller to Cronus Zen

  1. Plug your controller into the LEFT port of the Cronus Zen using USB-C cable
  2. Do NOT connect the Zen to PS5 yet
  3. Verify the Zen's LED indicators show controller connection
  4. Keep the USB-A to PS5 cable ready but disconnected

⚡ Step 4 — Disable Accessories (Critical Step)

  1. Go to Settings → Accessories → General
  2. Select "Turn Off Accessories"
  3. IMPORTANT: Do NOT select your controller in this menu
  4. Leave the controller as is - do not turn it off
  5. Immediately plug the Cronus Zen into your PlayStation 5

👽 Step 5 — Activate Zen Mode

  1. Connect the Zen to PS5 using the USB-A cable
  2. Wait for the Zen LEDs to change indicating connection
  3. You should now be in "Zen Mode" (also called "Alien Mode")
  4. Verify the controller is still responsive

🎯 Step 6 — Trigger Authentication Bypass

  1. Immediately after connecting Zen to PS5, hold down the RIGHT D-Pad button
  2. Keep holding until you see button spam begin on screen
  3. Continue holding for 3-5 seconds until spam stops
  4. Release the D-Pad button

Critical Timing: Press D-Pad Right immediately after plugging Zen into PlayStation. Timing is crucial for successful bypass.

🔄 Method 2 — Remote Play Bypass (Alternative)

📱 Step 1 — Setup Remote Play

  1. Download PlayStation Remote Play app on PC/Mobile
  2. Connect to your PS5 over same network
  3. Ensure stable connection (wired recommended)

🎮 Step 2 — Controller Authentication

  1. Use Remote Play to authenticate controller
  2. Switch back to direct connection
  3. Follow Method 1 steps 3-6 for Zen setup

🛠️ Advanced Configuration

⚙️ Zen Studio Settings

  1. Open Zen Studio on PC
  2. Update firmware to latest version
  3. Load RocketMod script into desired slot
  4. Program device and verify script installation

  2. Press script activation combo (usually LT + MENU)
  3. Navigate to bypass settings if available
  4. Test controller responsiveness

🛠️ Quick Troubleshooting

  • Bypass not working: Check cable connections, retry timing on D-Pad press
