PS3 Official PS3HEN v3.3.0 + HFW Released for 4.91 Firmware from Team PS3Xploit

The Official PS3HEN exploit has been updated to v3.3.0 with some new changes from @esc0rtd3w and @Joonie of Team PS3Xploit to support 4.91. Also, developer Joonie has brought back the webkit exploit from 4.82 to 4.91 with the official HFW release (HFW = OFW with old webkit injected). Its best to use the official HFW when using the official PS3HEN release.​

PS3HEN is an exploit useful for PS3 Console's that do not have the ability to install a CFW ( those later Slim & SuperSlim Models). While it can be installed on all PS3 Models, PS3HEN is not as powerful as Custom Firmware is on your console, but PS3HEN is not far behind and has plenty of features to get the most out of your console. We have created a guide detailing and comparing the differences between the two exploits CFW and PS3HEN, that can be seen > here < You can checkout full details about PS3HEN and setup in the Official Thread linked below.

Next up (for CFW user's), we should see soon (be patient - testing) bguerville's PS3 Toolset updated for CFW user's who may of accidentally updated to 4.91 Official Firmware (OFW) or by wrong advice elsewhere installed a HFW by mistake (some unofficial ones floating around with wrong advice). Or simply trying out CFW for the first time and are on 4.91 OFW.

Thank you for your hard work it's greatly appreciated

 

I have a question

I tired installing the hen update from the auto installer in the ps3's browser and Everytime it reaches 95% it says that "Hen Failure Restart ps3 and try again"

Can anyone explain to me what happened?

 

Was happy to help with testing, awesome to see this released with some nice fixes!

Set your home page as blank or just set the auto hen as the home page and try again.

 

I updated the Alternate installer for 4.91 (other versions coming later). you can find a link on ps3xploit.me under the 2 official installers.

 

Added @MrMario2011's 4.91 Tutorial to main post.

 

can someone check if webMAN MOD 1.47.45 works on Hen 3.3.0 ? i installed and don't load the plugins

It's necessary to reinstall the webMAN mod. During the HEN installation, the webMAN mod is deleted as a precautionary measure in case the user has an outdated version that isn't compatible with the current one. Initially, this was only required for the 4.90 firmware, but some users may still attempt to install 4.90 without updating webMAN.

@aldostools @esc0rtd3w isn't better add a check to perform the deletion just if the user is on 4.90?

Check if you have a boot_plugins.txt in your USB device connected to the system (if any). If you have one, it may be the cause

i haven't seen @lmn7 login lately, but i believe i can do the update myself. however it will be a while. i will have to change the offsets in the 4.90 version html and then actually make the p3t file. if i do something wrong, i might not know if it was the offsets or the p3t. i will try later tonight.

Please set the auto installer to home page, close browser and try again. I will update the HTML later to reflect this
