BEWARE (Exploited PS3's) PlayStation firmware update 4.83 has just went Live, developer's from the PS3Xploit team have not had time to take a look at it yet since this has just been released (see update, devs are looking into it now and will update us here in this thread), This update could potentially be a patch for the PS3Xploit hacks (but they have not in a year which has been odd) or it could be a simple routine update for things such as the BluRay player. Developer's will look into this newly released update and we will keep us posted here in this thread. Its advised to stay on 4.82 until Ps3Xploit developer's verify the newly released Official firmware. Users and Ps3 Firmware Bot has confirmed the update is live.

  RECOMMENDATION FROM PS3XPLOIT TEAM:
  FOR THE MOMENT, DO NOT UPDATE TO 4.83 UNLESS YOU HAVE DECIDED TO GIVE UP USING HAN PERMANENTLY ON THE CONSOLE.​
  
  After a look at the update files & preliminary tests, I am afraid I am bearing some bad news for HAN users playing online.
  
  1. It would appear that s@ny patched one of the 2 webkit exploits we currently use to trigger ROP chains.
  It means that we need to replace this exploit in order to get any ps3xploit tool working on 4.83. Work is already under way, obviously no ETA at this stage. Please don't ask.
  
  2. The kernel is completely untouched. No changes to either lv1 or lv2 which means CFWs will be easier to make. That's also good news for devs with any promising kernel vulnerability under investigation.
  
  3. Changes were made to vsh as usual & they seem extensive enough to suspect that they may have patched the HAN vulnerability as well. We have not yet had time to look into the matter at all but if they did, HAN might be gone for good past 4.82, leaving only CFW2OFW conversions installable & runnable on 4.83 whenever the patched webkit exploit gets replaced.
  
  
  In conclusion, the changes brought by the 4.83 update mean that anyone updating will lose usage of HAN, and possibly permanently until a kernel exploit comes out. Cfw2ofw conversions will be the only installed games that will still be working after updating.
  
  
  The nature of this update is upsetting our 4.0 release plans somewhat. It's still very early stages in our investigations & there are still many unanswered questions for the moment. I will keep you all posted whenever I have additional information to share.

The proxy method mentioned above gives error 80028EA6 when trying to sign up.

There's no other way to play online in 4.82?

 

Atm my ps3 is 4.82. i hope cfw then i need e3?

 

So, is it currently impossible to install a CFW to for example a fat PS3 on OFW 4.83 with the current ps3 xploit? Can't see that this have been properly answered in the thread already

 

Yo actualice, todo muerto excepto las demos.

Is this for the no-HAN games? i.e. the ones installed after enabling the debug menu? So that we can still play those after updating to 4.83?

Correct.

 

Hi, today trying to install saints row 4 on my han3 superslim, after installing, I get 80010017 at all my installed games. I try a reset to factory and now I must activate on psn. I will try to activate with the method described above but I'm asking, Ive been banned?

 

Yo man I'm new to this exploit and how do we install HEN on 4.82 when the newest 4.83 was dropped yesterday?

 

Thanks for the warning guys

DEX users on 4.82 are still able to sign into PSN, dunno if its actually safe to do so though.

Years ago it used to happen that there was a period of time of some days, starting inmediatly after the release of a new firmware that it was allowed to connect to PSN from the actual firmware (4.83) and the previous (4.82)
And after one month or so, the access from the previous (4.82) was denyed
Edit: this applyed only to DEX firmwares

Not sure if this is the case here, i remember to read (some months ago) that they was not allowing 2 differet firmwares to connect anymore, but im not sure if it was true or accurate info

yo man how do I install 4.82 hen if Sony won't let me connect online or should I use my activated psn account already? Sorry if I'm late to the party but I just realized psxploit v3 existed. My slim is still on 4.82 btw

 

lmao at my luck, waited 3 days for a hdmi to dvi cable to arrive so I can set up this super slim ps3 i got from a friend and play RDR and some other games, and just when it arrived today i see i cant run the han exploit cause of the stupid update. I even signed in with my new psn few days ago and activated the system, but i guess im logged out now

 

I created an account just to tell people... READ THE DANG POST! TITTLE SAYS DO NOT UPDATE! I GURANTEE YOU IF YOU READ THERE IS INFORMATION THERE REGARDING WHATS GOING ON! STOP SPAMMING THIS ASKING WHEN AND WHY. IM TRYING TO SEE RESULTS! NOT YOU CRYING. PS if theres anything i could do to assist just let me know!

 

Ok so I have a question - how can we use HAN on 4.82 avoiding an update? I mean when you go online it will force update right?

 

Really? Don't they normally come out at the same time? Or even DEX first?

Two weeks after

I see.

No.
Using the Internet doesn't require PSN connection afaik.
And you also have the option to use your LAN & host the exploit yourself.

 

Problem is, I don't have an activated account, so I'm unable to dump the act.dat

Would it fix HAN if I went back to 4.82? (I have the .PUP file for it)

 

On 11th October 2018 Sony have released another Firmware Update for the PS3: 4.83

And again it states 'System Performance Update'

Probably more like an attempt to patch recent xploits. Most likely to affect HAN users mostly.
