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)​

    Since there's no change in the kernel, you should see a PS3HEN update anytime soon.

    .Here's a little gift for everyone who has working PS3 (excluding RSOD or broken BD/BT units)

    Here's what we have found.
    Code: 
    1. no changes in Kernel
2. no changes in VSH
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.

Tenés que esperar al release oficial, no hay otra. Podés aguantar un tiempo hasta que los desarrolladores terminen de portear todo a 4.86, no van a tardar mucho más pero hay que esperar.

Cualquier consulta que tengas me ofrezco para resolverlas ya que también hablo español, quizás te sea más fácil así (por MP)

You´ll have to wait for the official release. You can hold on a while ´till the developers finish porting their tools and apps to 4.86. It´s not going to be for too long but you have to wait.

You can ask me any doubt you have since I can speak Spanish too, it would may be easier for you that way (via PM)

Hi everybody i recently updated from 4.85 rebug lite to new 4.86 hfw and was wondering if i could go back to 4.85 cfw as my account has been banned i am relatively new to modding so would be grateful for help? If this isnt possible the is there anyway to get multiman working on hfw? Thanks

Привет всем, кого я недавно обновил с 4.85 rebug lite до Нового 4.86 hfw и задавался вопросом, Могу ли я вернуться к 4.85 cfw, поскольку мой аккаунт был запрещен, я относительно новичок в моддинге, поэтому буду признателен за помощь? Если это невозможно то есть ли вообще получить multiman, работающий на hfw? Спасибо

Is not posible to downgrade firmware in PS3 models with a minimal firmware bigger than 3.56 (like yours i guess), the good news is 4.86 HFW is vulnerable to a couple of web browser exploits, so soon or later other hacks and tools will be adapted to 4.86 HFW

I just noticed you was in 4.85 rebug lite so your PS3 model is compatible with CFW
Then the solution is easyer, but i guess you need to wait anyway, is needed to review/update some tools

Ok thanks i dont mind being patient just wanted to play games already installed on ps3 i was abit too quick to update without fully knowing the features included

Hopefully 4.86 rebug is out sooner than later

You should expect some 4.86 (non-rebug) CFW's released before the rebug 4.86 lite

So better start making your mind... the dilemma is... are you going to install them or you will wait for rebug 4.86 lite ?
And you need to take that decission without knowing the estimated release time of rebug 4.86 lite, because nobody knows, not even rebug team knows it at this point

Download: HFW 4.86.1

(March 2020 - Update)
HFW is useful for PS3HEN Installations (nonCFW models)
Ps3Hen will need an update, stay tuned..

(for CFW installations on capable models you can use bguerville PS3 Toolset)​

​

I updated to 4.86.1 but now I am not able to reinstall hen it freezes every time at preparing and I have to manually shut down the PS3. That is using the alternate option. If I use the standard option it is ghosted out and you cannot choose a selection. So words of the wise say do not update until the developers have a chance to evaluate. Thanks to the Developers you guys are great! I hope this issue gets resolved quickly. My games are in storage and now I can't play my backups....lol
 
J
Ok I don't really mind using other versions just familiar with rebug but as long as there is another cfw method I will be more than happy. Just created a membership on this site today so thanks for your help I will just keep watching the threads and wait. Shame about ban wave though, has anyone else been console banned aswell? I was only on it couple days ago then updated and now have no access :(
