It’s been about six months since the last update of etaHEN on PlayStation 5 consoles, since then the developer LightningMods has been working on the integration of a much more convenient toolbox within the AIO payload to replace the Debug Settings.
This update also introduces a loader for custom plugins, which allows for more flexibility and customization.
In addition, the overall stability of the system has been improved and new options have been added to the toolbox, including Klog, StartOption, Rest_Mode_Delay_Seconds, Util_rest_killand and Game_rest_kill, with details available within the ReadMe.
Also introduced the ability to directly install the Store on the PS5, simplifying access and management of applications.

Details of the DPI API for tool makers
EtaHEN’s Direct PKG Installer (DPI) etaHENis currently very simple and is considered an ongoing job (WIP). The flow of the service is as follows:
- Connect to the etaHEN TCP server via port 9090 (using the IP address of the PS5).
- Send a URL address to etaHEN in the following JSON format:
{ "url" : "http://xxxx" } - The etaHEN payload will then respond with the return value (0 in case of success):
{ "res" : "0" } - etaHEN will close the client socket after sending the JSON return file.
Changelog
- Rewriting (improved reliability).
- Replacing Debug Settings with the etaHEN Toolbox.
- Loader for custom plugins.
- Improvement of overall stability.
- Adding several options in the etaHEN Toolbox.
- Addition of the new Klog, StartOption, Rest-Mode-Delay-Seconds, Util-rest?kill and Game-rest?kill settings (see ReadMe for more details).
- Added the ability to install the Store directly on the PS5.
- More discovery of functionality for users.
The etaHEN payload can also be loaded automatically without having to download and inject it, just visit https://pkg-zone.com/exploit/PS5/index.html from the web browser of the PlayStation 5 console upright a firmware between version 4.00 and 4.51.
