Want to do more with your PlayStation 5? The new etaHEN 1.9b is here! This update lets you explore new possibilities on your PS5. This guide will help you understand what etaHEN 1.9b is, what it can do, and how to use it.
What is etaHEN?
etaHEN is a tool that lets you run custom software on your PS5. It opens up your console to new features and possibilities. With etaHEN, you can access hidden settings, run homebrew apps, and more.
Important: etaHEN 1.9b only works on PS5s with firmware versions 4.03, 5.50, and 8.00. Make sure your PS5 has one of these firmware versions before you start.
What's New in etaHEN 1.9b?
This new version of etaHEN has some exciting updates:
- Support for More Firmware: etaHEN 1.9b now works on PS5s with 1.x firmware. This means even more players can use etaHEN.
- Stability Improvements: The update includes fixes that make etaHEN more stable. You should have fewer crashes and errors.
- Faster Loading: etaHEN now loads much faster than before. You'll spend less time waiting and more time playing.
Setting Up etaHEN 1.9b
Getting etaHEN up and running involves a few steps. The process depends on your PS5's firmware version.
For Firmware 3.02 to 4.51
If your PS5 has firmware version 3.02 to 4.51, follow these steps:
- Open the Browser: Go to the PS5's web browser.
- Load the Exploit: Find and load the exploit for your firmware version. etaHEN 1.9b supports both the IPv6 and UMTX exploits.
- Select the Payload: Once the jailbreak is running, choose the etaHEN payload.
- Wait: Give it a few seconds for the notifications to disappear. You should then see a message that etaHEN has loaded successfully.
For Firmware 1.x and 2.x
If your PS5 has firmware version 1.x or 2.x, the process is a bit different:
- Load the Web Browser Jailbreak: Open the web browser and load the jailbreak.
- Load the UMTX Exploit: Load the UMTX exploit payload. The system will automatically go into rest mode.
- Wait for Rest Mode: Wait until the amber light on the console is solid, meaning it has fully entered rest mode.
- Turn the Console Back On: Turn the PS5 back on and select the option for the "webkit only sender." This will skip the exploit since it's already running.
- Select the etaHEN Payload: Choose the etaHEN payload to load it.
- Wait for Loading: The screen may freeze for a few seconds during loading. This is normal. Just wait for it to unfreeze, and etaHEN will load.
Exploring the etaHEN Toolbox
Once you have etaHEN running, you can access the etaHEN toolbox in the settings menu. This toolbox gives you access to different features and options.
Plugins Menu
The plugins menu lets you manage plugins. Plugins are like add-ons that give etaHEN extra features.
- Regular Menu: This menu lets you enable or disable plugins. Just select a plugin to turn it on or off.
- Startup Menu: This menu lets you choose plugins that will load automatically when etaHEN starts. This way, you don't have to manually enable your favorite plugins every time.
Remote Play
The remote play option lets you connect a remote device to your PS5. It gives you a pin code and your account ID, which you need for third-party remote play apps.
Utilities
The utilities section has useful tools for managing your PS5.
- External HDD Menu: This menu lets you mount, unmount, and format your external hard drive. It also shows you the format version of the drive.
- Extras Menu: This menu includes some options from the regular debug settings, such as the NP environment and add content manager.
Light Mode
If you're having problems with etaHEN crashing or slowing down your system, try enabling light mode. This mode turns off most of etaHEN's features to make it more stable.
Test Kit Menu
This menu is currently only for test kits. It may come to retail consoles in a future update.
ItemsFlow
ItemsFlow is a homebrew app that lets you manage your PS5 games and files. A new version of ItemsFlow is out, made to work with etaHEN 1.9b.
Getting ItemsFlow
You can download ItemsFlow from the homebrew store. If you don't have the homebrew store, you can download it from the etaHEN toolbox. Just make sure your PS5 is connected to the internet.
What's New in ItemsFlow?
The new version of ItemsFlow has a few changes:
- Fake Sign Check: ItemsFlow now checks to make sure that game files are properly signed. This helps prevent errors when running games.
- Updated Cheats: The update includes the newest version of Illusion Cheats.
- Game Decryption (2.x Firmware Only): If you're on 2.x firmware, you can now decrypt games like Demon Souls and Devil May Cry using ItemsFlow.
Important Tips for Using etaHEN
- Stay Updated: The PS5 jailbreak scene is always changing. Join PS5 jailbreak forums to stay up-to-date on the latest news and updates.
- Be Careful: Jailbreaking your PS5 can be risky. You could lose your warranty or get banned from PlayStation Network. Use etaHEN at your own risk.
- Disable Unused Services: To improve stability, turn off any services in the services menu that you are not using.
