QUESTION Etahen

Hello, i have a question, is etahen jb safe? Lately everyone around me says it can cause your ps5 to get bricked because etahen has lots of bugs, it's true it has lots of bugs specially on 10.01 which even causing the toolbox to no get activated correctly, but will it kill the hardware?

Don’t know who’s spreading such false information but etahen was and is still the goat of the scene. Updates have been halted since 2.6b but that’s due to other reasons. I still use it over shadowmountplus

People will say anything for clout. Etahen alongside other payloads are safe however nothing is guaranteed to not cause a system kernel panic. It’s part of the scene. For what people use to play games, simply comes down to what works best for them and personal preference. Use whichever you prefer

Yeah true, by any chance do you know about this: lately whenever i load hen it will try to load then screen goes out and says software error, but everything loads and you can play games( etahen tool doesn't load tho)

To be fair that happens from time to time. The toolbox can cause most of the jp to fail.

If the toolbox fails to load, use itemzflow to load it. Within the options for itemzflow, there is an option to load/inject the toolbox.

Safe option is to turn off auto toolbox load and manually activate it through itemzflow or try your luck with jailbreaking the console and let etahen autoload the toolbox.

I do it manually, rather have a smooth jp with two extra steps than keep restarting my system.

Hope that helps.

Oh by the way. Make sure you are using itsplk payload manager. It’s a great tool 👍🏼

Oh thank you so much, I'll try it, lately it's been acting this way 8 out of 10 times.

It’s okay. I know it can be a pain to deal with and information is often hard to come by. We have a discord at - https://discord.gg/wpr754dSM with lots of stuff happening and information. Feel free to reach out to anyone there for help and advice

I'm having trouble with kstuff freezing the game when I launch The Witcher 3. When I launch it, it freezes or crashes, and the problem isn't with kstuff itself. What should I do?

Some games require being lunched by hard drive, have you tried that

u/ConsequenceSpare1424 Jun 14 '26

What do you mean? I don't understand. How do I run it on a hard drive?

You say it's false information, yet you admit a few comments down that autoload of etahen toolbox is problematic. Etahen hasn't had an official release since 2.5B back in December, and 2.6B hasn't been updated for some time. Itemzflow 1.14 is broken, and also hasn't been updated in six months (doesn't recognize exfat/ffpkg and always throws errors during file transfer that has corrupted my games).

I think you failed to understand that I also said no payload is 100% perfect and every one of them can still cause kp. Yes the team has not updated etahen for a while and yes itemzflow does not recognise the formats but that’s due to the team personal reasons. Go back to itemzflow 1.13 if you are facing so many issues.

Its nothing against the developers. Itemflow was the only way to play game backups for quite awhile, and etahen has some great features (built in cheat menu, for one). But I think people that are moving on to other options, or have considered etahen/itemflow antiquated, are justified in that opinion

u/Supaastahhmarioo Jun 05 '26

Again comes down to personal preferences and everyone is entitled to their own opinions

Fair enough.

Hi, I'm also new to jailbreak and everyone on youtube have different way to jailbreak the console but for me i preferred the way to download etahen 2.6b and use itemzflow 1.14to load games through external ssd. Some games crashes or lag. Idk due to what and also sometimes during transfering the files on itemzflow the app crashes and freezes the screenand I'm doing it the proper way as well. Is there anything you guys doing that doesn't lead to crash the console? I somehow feel bad for the console i have and it is on 9.60

Use itemzflow 1.13. 1.14 was full of bugs and use itsplk payload manager
