[SOLVED] HEN v2.3.1 & v3.0 not Installing DLC RAPs Correctly

So I have my first issue with HEN and its not installing any of my RAPs for my DLC.

RAPs were made correctly using the rif from my bought DLC, labled correctly, correct stuff inside the RAP and it gets a lovely green tick from PS3 Tools so I know I have done all steps correctly. Plus they install and work fine on my CFW PS3's.

I have tried from exdata on USB and the HDD and nothing and is really starting to p!ss me off as this is so I can add another PS3 to my home LAN network for gaming with friends and family as they all seem to be splitscreen watchers lol and cannot win without doing it, basically they are cheaters lol.

I do not want to connect to PSN to download this back to the PS3 as the IDPS and PSID is used on another PS3 so the risk of a ban is not worth it, the act.dat has been on the PS3 for years so I didn't have to do this when installing HEN. And this was the whole point in backing the DLC up in the first place ....

Anyone got any ideas ... ? Or have I missed something out for HEN ... ?

NOTE: ALL MY DLC IS PAID FOR AND DOWNLOADED FROM PSN THEN BACKED UP ON PC.

EDIT: This issue also continues on HEN V3 for some DLC's even though DLC RAP support was added.

I've had this trouble myself but only with ps1 pkg games.
They just never seem to auto activate... But DLC on the otherhand does work for me...

I also did the same way of downloading my purchases and using my PC as proxy to sniff the link for the DLC and manually downloaded on PC, then took my rif and converted to rap and stored for later uses.

What I did in the end for ps1 games was to use a resigner along with act.dat and idps on PC to resign rap to rif and manually copy to 'hdd0/home/0000001/exdata' on Ps3 via ftp

I downloaded them one at a time to the PS3 with the install data folder for that game empty so all that was in it was the DLC, FTP the data and rif to PC then make a PKG, RAP from that, Delete the data on the PS3 and move on to the next one. Couldn't be bothered to set up the proxy method lol. For Updates it pretty simple to download them direct from the servers through PC no proxy method needed.

I really was hoping not to have to faf on with it like that but looks like I might have to or make a DLC fix for them, not even sure if the DLC fix would work on HEN, the one I made for BO1 and 2 DLC works on CFW incase am dumb enough to delete the backed up licence rif files. I was hoping for something simple but I suppose using the resigner will probs be the way to go if I cannot get the RAPS or Fix to work on HEN.

I tried DLC fixes. Didn't work on HEN.
I've brought this up with the devs though as auto activation is much simpler.
I haven't tried PSNPatch on HEN yet. Maybe possible to use that for activation. No PC needed for resigning then

I tried that, it sort of works. It installs the RAP the right place but when I boot Black Ops the DLC does not show on the map select menu. I'll keep at it. Am sure jonnie mentioned in a post that PSN Patch doesn't get the right IDPS on HEN, it show the right one on the menu but maby it different when installing RAPs and doesn't do it properly.

I'll delete the DLC and then re-install the PKG then do it again, if that don't work I'll try PSN Liberator and see if that works on HEN. The if all fails I'll just use a resigner to convert RAP to RIF with the IDPS and stuff.
