Hey guy just joined today as i got my first ps3 ever... at the age of 36. I already want to thank you guys for all your effort as i ve been reading arround the forum and it seem you ve quite a lot for the PS community.

Having this said, i wonder what should i do while instaling HEN if the MD5s don t match. I tried downloading from all 3 mirrors and i get d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e as MD5. Thanks in advance =)
This is MD5 of PS3UPDAT.PUP not zip file.

Different hashes might brick your console.
 
For PS3HEN / HFW 4.89 details see post: https://www.psx-place.com/threads/p...-the-ps3-exploit-for-noncfw-ps3-models.37273/
.This official HFW 4.89.1 release was created by @littlebalup and has been tested over many consoles and situations. Please be aware of several "Unofficial" HFW 4.89 builds that are on the internet. Some of them may work, and some of them are known to have problems.

HFW, by its very nature is a modified version of original OFW, that by itself can be unstable or have unexpected results in some situations, due to the system files (sprx) replaced with older version during the creation process. HFW is meant to be accompanied by PS3HEN, which when fully installed will restore HFW back to a stable OFW state (system sprx), and also includes any other fixes needed.

The official HFW 4.89.1 has a EULA date of May 11, 2022 and an MD5 of 1746FD1A7BA9F6DBB9428C9C64B54B0A

This firmware has been tested with PS3HEN 3.1.0

Huge thanks also to @Joonie @habib for their initial idea of creating an HFW in the first place :)

Thanks to @STLcardsWS for everything he does ;)

what do i do when it keeps saying the page cannot be displayed 80710102 in the internet browser?

thank u for all ur hard work brothers and i have a question dude any news about bgtoolset and thank u respect

We tried getting bgtoolset back online during August, September and October while having a multitude of problems from the new hosting. As of right now, bguerville is the only one who can get it setup on the server. He is currently not available, and I'm not sure when he will be able to further contact hosting.

I can keep everyone up to date through here and also I have been updating the alert box on ps3xploit.me to show the current situation.

Basically it is currently out of my hands. If for some reason we cannot get it back online in the foreseeable future, we will have to take an alternate path.

I do have a copy of the latest source code and files, but since this is not my project, I cannot distribute it.

Is there anything at all we could do at all to help? I recently bought a PS3 to install CFW and you guys are my only hope :( I've been reading around a lot though and I know you mentioned the main developer, bguerville, has been unavailable for what looks like a while now :(( Maybe if you need more funding and you can think of an estimate or something like a goal I'd absolutely love to donate and go around to all the PS3-Hombrew scenes and spread the news. I'm sure the community could come together <3

I also know, and really respect/appreciate, the work you guys have been putting in with all your other domains getting shutdown but still coming back with ps3xploit.me. I've been keeping an eye on it everyday for any kind of changes so please if you can think of anything I'll contribute spread the news.

Unfortunately it really just comes down to bguerville being the sole developer of the toolset, and without his blessing, the code will remain private.

I know he talked about making it open source at some point, using the current flash exploit, but after the stealing of the obfuscated code and redistribution by an unknown person(s), I'm not sure of his position on that.

At this point, it is a waiting game. I have been trying to contact him, but he is currently unavailable. The last message I received said he will try to get it back online but has some family stuff to take care of right now.

Ohhh okay I see that makes perfect sense, though it's unfortunate I can respect his privacy and I understand he has a more important family matter to tend too I wish the best for him and hope all is going well <3

And thank you too for your response I really appreciate your presence in keeping everyone updated :)
 
… having a multitude of problems from the new hosting.
Is this somehow related to the strict list of cipher suites they enforce? I couldn't find any domain in their netblock that would support any of the cipher suites required for PS3's old browser. Seems like security and anonymity of the transfers are their priorities. Do you know if they offer downgrades to the customers?

... but after the stealing of the obfuscated code and redistribution by an unknown person(s), I'm not sure of his position on that.
Looking at the amount of outdated or modified clones out there, I don't think it's the best idea to fully release the code to the public. Even if it was trivial to set it up locally, users still go for the "single click" solutions - more like insta brick as of now. Perhaps selecting a few trusted members from the community that would maintain always up to date mirrors of the original code is the safer way to go? Something like the saying "less is more"?

Tbh Bguerville deserves some time off at this point more than anyone. I'm not sure if there's anyone who contributed to the jailbreak research more than him in recent years. I hope that some of the pressure will be lifted off him (and the rest of the team, of course) once there are alternative solutions utilizing PS3HEN as an entry point. It's somewhat surprising to me that it was possible to maintain this for so many years just as a single person.

Yes, the issue with the ssl cert was one of the issues I forgot to mention.
 
I downloaded 4.60 firmware for downgrading, but not sure if i'm going to when hypervisor lv1 comes out for 3k/4k.
at least i've got a hardware flasher but idk if it will even be able to restore 4301C so staying cautious about coreos patching for now until further notice.
 
Hello everyone,

I have an old fatty PS3 and installed HEN 4.89.1. on it. While attending the browser I get: Error 80710A06. Is there any chance to avoid this error? I tried everything for now: new and different DNS, Exposed Host for ma Ps3, reset on factory settings, setting date and time, new psn account and so on.
Interesting point: Internet is available over third party apps like Amazon/PSN itself, even ggoel shows the first search results but klicking the links will end in that error...
I dont really have an idea.
For now there is no possibility to downgrade and go to CFW from 4.89.1. - correct?

Edit: I cann access the amazon website via browser but not ps3xploit.me or other websites (as far as I know for now)

NOT WORKING!!!! Just keeps saying "no applicable update data was found" whenever I plug the usb drive into my ps3!!! Ive checked everything, its a brand new usb drive that I bought just for this, I double and triple checked that the usb drive is formatted to fat32, I double checked that my ps3 is updated and is on 4.89, Ive followed all the instructions exactly, yet when I put the usb drive in my ps3 and try to update via media storage it just says "no applicable update data was found" Im getting pissed!!! Damn waste of my time!!!

it can be a pain sometimes so i wrote a guide with troubleshooting tips. it is HERE. good luck!

Que tal muchachos soy nuevo y me uní a este forums por lo siguiente:

Intento actualizar mi play3 al hfw 4.89.1 (tengo el 4.89 oficial) mi play lee el pendrive en el interfaz principal i también por recovery excelente cuando le doy instalar el carga todo bien dice instalando se reinicia normalmente. Pero cuando voy a información del sistema me dice que aun tengo el 4.89 oficial. Lo hice muchas veces actualize la fecha y hora nada. Intento actualizarlo nuevamente y me muestra que esta disponible la 4.89.1 hfw. Ya no se que hacer

English:
I try to update my play3 to hfw 4.89.1 (I have the official 4.89) my play reads the pendrive in the main interface and also for excellent recovery when I install it, it loads everything fine, it says installing, it restarts normally. But when I go to system information it says that I still have the official 4.89. I did it many times update the date and time nothing. I try to update it again and it shows me that 4.89.1 hfw is available. I don't know what to do
