PS3 4.87.1 PS3 HFW (Hybrid Firmware) - HFW is helpful for installing PS3HEN on 4.84/4.85/4.86/4.87 FW

UPDATE (May, 2022) 4.89 HFW Released see here.
. Original Article (4.84 HFW - March 2019): Huge News as the PS3 exploit ladder has taken a step up into 4.84 rung, with a new approach to bring back PS3Xploit functionality on 4.84. With a Hybrid Firmware (NOT A CFW) that can be installed on ANY MODEL PS3 over any Official Firmware (OFW) version. .The only thing this modified firmware essentially does is bring back the patched webkit from OFW 4.82 that was an entry point for PS3Xploit, if you recall when 4.84 was released developers @bguerville and @esc0rtd3w stated the exploit was not actually patched but rather only the webkit entry used was removed in 4.83+ which rendered the actual exploit unreachable (not patched and could be restored). Now the webkit is back for 4.84 OFW thanks to this new clever magic that has allowed OFW user's to use and install this slightly modified Firmware.​

So, what does all this mean? Now it will be just like it was back in 4.82 before PS3Xploit was "patched"(some ps3xploit tools need updated still) you will be able to install a CFW (on a CFW compatible model) and for those unfortunate user's that does not have a CFW Compatible model (i.e. SuperSlim/late slims) you have will have access to the HAN exploit . So for new user's or ones that updated, here is your second chances thanks to the efforts of the members of PS3Xploit Team and to @Joonie (waved magic wand on files) and prepared this magically release, @habib (for valuable input on this project) and @esc0rtd3w (work in porting ps3xploit tools to 4.84) ​

It has been an exciting month here at psx-place with so much progress on all fronts of the PS3 . the fuel of this project actually comes from a user simply igniting a spark with an idea as @Doge_Rules did with this thread truly making it a community effort. Updated - to version 4.84.2 (see details below)​

3. no changes in isolated loaders
4. Stability improved

    Enjoy your latest HFW 4.85.1 and stay tuned for more updates coming from various developers.

    FYI @STLcardsWS @esc0rtd3w @habib @Zar @aldostools

    To devs - PS3HEN can literally be ported in 5 mins. or you could just use PS3HEN 2.3.1 and it should work right out of the box.

    To everyone else - Don't rush your update until all the tools get fully ported & released.

  • 4.84.2 HFW (Hybrid Firmware)
    Restores PS3Xploit Flasher/Tools & PS3Xploit HAN for 4.84 OFW user's​

    Today, we proudly present the very first modified OFW that can be installed on all PS3 models. (NOTE: THIS IS NOT A FULL BLOWN CFW, HOWEVER IT Allows you to run the patched webkit exploit that's ported to 4.84)​

    Yes, you didn't hear wrong, it can be installed over
    • ALL OFW versions on ALL PS3 models
      • ex) OFW 4.83, 4.84 , CECH-3XXX, CECH-4XXX and etc..

    We wanted this to be called "HHHFW" since it was Hybrid, Hack-able, HAN ready also inspired by @habib but let's call it HFW since this is Hybrid FW (Well you can call this MFW).

    The idea was reminded by some guy who didn't want to be annoying but actually ended up being helpful: @ psx-place.com

    Habib had this idea long time ago but the previous attempt was not successful due to lack of interest and preparation.

    As you all know, I recently started messing with my PS3 again and this idea was brought back.

    So then I went ahead and tried his magical idea.... after a few hours later... Boom!!, now we have HFW that works on all PS3 models (including 3K and 4K) that allows the previously patched exploit by using old webkit from 4.50 that's been used until 4.83. This method is rather hacky than technical, so I would like to leave this method under the radar for now until it gets patched out (this can easily be patched).

    What can you do with this HFW 4.84.1/2?
    1. You can use PSN since the FW is the latest.
    2. You can downgrade/Install CFW on your PS3 if your model is downgrade-able/hack-able (excluding CECH-3K and 4K)
    (The same capability as what you had for 4.82 OFW)
    3. You can use HAN and all the tools that worked up to 4.82 with this FW.
    4. You can always go back to the real OFW 4.84 if you wish.​

    To all scener's and developers
    • Please update the HAN toolbox or any xml that can support 4.84 if anyone's available.

HFW itself isn't 'CFW' but now you can install CFW on your FAT model with the upcoming flasher. This is not new since the same thing was already possible since last year when PS3Xploit was announced for 4.81 and 4.82.

earlier you said to me i can't create a HFW with my rco's meaning s#ny have encryption checks on rco also ? cause i only hope to inject rco to the pup ? no sprx edit or any signed modules modification i mean i just hope to put my rco in PUP create HFW and done with orignal OFW sprx and other modules

No you can't due to spkg and pkg encryption. You can't modify protected part. I would've done it already if that was possible.

oh nice, though it would be nice if the update file is also pre-loaded with Package Installer entry on XMB and HAN toolbox. I dont know if this is possible but given that you guys were able to replace some files on the update file, I dont see why this is not possible.

Hi guys! I have PS3, a later slim model with HAN. Should I upgrade to this new HFW or just stay with 4.82? Great job BTW!

Well, we don't know about PUP structure at all. Only devs and some other curious people know. I think if it would be feasible they would had done it already.

If you play on PSN, go for it. Also, just for the matter that this is an awesome achievement, I would install it without a hitch.

see what i talked about with @Joonie all must stay original with s#ny signature and no modification even its a small zero to one their must be one edit only the silk_webkit.sprx from 4.82 putted in 4.84 OFW to get webkit back to work and wait for all the tools to be ported to 4.84 if that was possible he himself said he could include the package manager and han toolbox or any other stuff take this as an exemple :
s#ny pup firmware as a name ' George ' if any person change any letter from ' George ' then the PUP firmware will not be accepted cause the first encryption with spkg are that originle so if 'George' still the same then the PUP works and will finish installing if it changes to 'Georgo' then if will fail and show the famous error Code 8002F957 :)

For HAN its ok to install 4.84HFW once, but when it comes to CFW patches for compatible systems you must install 4.84 twice, that can be 4.84OFW+4.84HFW, or 4.84HFW+4.84HFW , but for those CFW patches (not available yet) you will need to install a 4.84 version twice.

Yup as i forget to mention it applying the HFW 4.84 twice to make both ros0 & ros1 on the same version preventing problem after applying the exploit :)
