PS3 PS3 4.83 OFW Now Live - Beware changes impacting HAN users - stay tuned for more info

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 Ultimate triggering firmware hahahahhahaha

 

*Note - HAN's Online Functions are still working for 4.81 + 4.82 OFW users.
The following information is a response for those who previously asked about using
the Offline HAN functions.

For those interested in learning how to use the OFFLINE HAN FUNCTIONS:

Check out PKG LINKER 2.0

Also, I have some details about setting up a Direct PC to PS3 Ethernet Cable Connection in my Troubleshooter FAQ, for anyone interested.
If you check it out, follow down to the PKG Linker [Dictionary.007] section for more information.

@lmn7 has also posted a tutorial on enabling HAN from your PS3 WITHOUT the need to connect your PS3 to your PC.
[Tutorial] How to enable HAN offline

Hope this helps a few people.

 

@Zazenora
Just to clarify, "the current events" have absolutely no impact on online exploit usage on 4.82. There is no more "pressing need" to use an alternative than there was a week or a month ago.

 

I apologize. I seen a few people asking about using the offline functions which is why I posted that. I wasn't sure if it had effected the use of the online tools or not. I'll correct my previous post.
Thanks for the clarification

No apologies needed or required.
I preferred to clarify because a number of people seem to be under the wrong impression that without updating, they cannot use the Internet.
When you don't update the firmware, you can no longer connect to PSN (unless you use a local proxy) but the Internet is still perfectly usable.

 

I understand.
I'll keep that in mind, as I don't want to add any further confusion or false information about the known facts surrounding this issue.
I've not even tried connecting my PS3 to the internet at all since all of this started, to prevent any further risk of a ban on my console for the moment so I haven't actually tested anything related to this myself.

Should anything I post contain inaccurate information, I appreciate and expect someone to correct me.

 

Hi there community, i have quick question. I was wondering if anyone could help. I install Han a while back and it worked perfectly then i turned the system off. The next day i enabled han and suddenly the game options on the xmb had disappeared. Natural i restarted the system. Now the ps3 freezes on startup. Went to safe mode and used every option still the same result. Tried to reinstall 4.82 and the system just give the annoying "no applicable data was found. Please connect a storage media with 4.82 or later" . I tried 3 different sized usbs but no dice. Please help

 

@Menzi , there is no logical reason that using recovery mode would not work. you may have a bad or failing HDD, or try another USB or format one or both and try again. i see you tried 3 usb's.. .formatting USB/HDD and retrying is only option really...it will work. it should work without format HDD, unless HDD has become corrupted.

you could try rebuild db, restore system files, but ultimately the System Update option with PUP is the one that will fix it

from personal testing on superslim emmc with close to a hundred files replaced on top of HAN files, recovery still works fine for restoring original 4.82 PUP

re-download 4.82 PUP and check MD5 also

 

Watch my tut... you will be online in 5 minutes..This was a video i posted after initial patch...

 

Is there a way to use Netflix and YouTube without updating?

On CFW, you could use the nopsn apps to solve the problem.
And if you wish psn back on your 4.82 cfw, the easiest way overall remains the permanent SEN Enabler patch, which could also be applied manually I guess for those allergic to SEN. It is a one off patch, takes only a few seconds to apply. You need to remember to remove the patch before you update fw.

On OFW, you could use a local proxy as already mentioned in various posts in this thread to allow PSN connections from a console on a firmware version lower than the current official 4.83.

The few nopsn apps compatible with HAN should keep working after the fw update if they were already installed.

Additionally, although I have never noticed it to happen in practice, keep in mind that spoofing the fw version on a console, using a proxy etc.. are all methods that could in theory land users with a ban if you consider that using a setup modified in any way to connect to PSN is a breach of the PSN TOS.

 

For parts? A console in perfect working order? Why would you not keep it that way?

Before anyone else takes such drastic steps (within 24h of a system firmware release), I suggest a little patience maybe!

You must have noticed that we have not yet confirmed publicly whether HAN was patched or not in 4.83. We only said that taking the decision to update at the moment meant agreeing to possibly give up HAN permanently. Users must act on that bottom line basis.

So for the moment, we recommend to every HAN user to remain on 4.82 for 2 main reasons.

1. In 4.83, a new webkit exploit is needed. No ps3xploit tool can be used on 4.83 until we get that done. It will happen, webkit is still just as old & buggy, BUT we cannot say yet when that will be.

2. We do not yet have 100% confirmation that the HAN patch can still work on 4.83. From a first review of the disassembled code, it doesn't look like the HAN vulnerability was patched, our HAN Tools should still work but 100% confirmation requires going deeper in the disassembly, debugging & finally some testing, a process that has not been done yet.

So basically, updating your firmware was a bad move BUT from what we know so far, there is still a good chance (a chance mind you, not a guarantee!) that your console might run HAN again before the end of the year. In the meantime, you can still run your retail discs, original PSN installations & any game that was installed with the Debug pkg Enabler.

In the bigger picture, HAN was always meant to be temporary anyway, a stepping stone of sorts to give Slim > 25xx & SSlim console owners a few more options, the future is a kernel exploit. Not if but when it happens, the perfectly fine consoles you are considering to trash or use for parts, will eventually be able to mount ISO games like on CFW. Lol

that's exactly what I'm saying. XD

 

@Raft

Installed games that were not resigned for HAN should still work fine.
Unless Sony patched the vulnerability exploited by cfw2ofw conversions but quite frankly I doubt it.
Try launching a game you previously installed with Debug pkg Enabler on 4.82 & you will have your confirmation.

I'm staying on 4.82 because i can't afford to update. Please find the cure for 4.83

 

Watch my tut... you will be online in 5 minutes..This was a video i posted after initial patch...

never lost the ability to get online after the patch. And considering I was on a REBUG 4.80.2 D-REX until 4.82.2 D-REX came out, I never lost the ability then either.

Sorry if this is a noob question, but how do these 'no-han' games installed with debug pkg enabler actually work? And if I update my ps3 to 4.83, would I actually be able to play these games online or is it just offline?

 

[I still have an ofw 4.82]
Good morning to everyone, I tried to transfer a 7gb game with PKG Linker, but it gives me the following mistake. Before starting PKG Linker, I selected "Han enabler and then "debug package. After that, I executed the program, but after refresh (about Ps3) the list of games that owns PKG Linker and tried to download the game (just click X, it made me that mistake), I came to this mistake.
P.S: I did everything without Han Enabler Offline

Are there any solutions to download the games with PKG Linker, or are I forced to play the game and install usb?

I just knew Han is a tool to jailbreak my PS3 super slim! My PS3 has a firmware 3.81. Following the guidance of installing Han, I was trying to log into my PSN account on PS3. However, PS3 kept giving the message 'Update System Software'. I'm wondering is there's way to bypass the update so I can log into PSN? I think I'm stuck at the first step to install Han! Thanks for your help.

Retail disc games converted to pkg using cfw2ofw & not resigned for HAN got installed on 4.82 with Debug pkg Enabler.
Those games don't use the standard npdrm encryption key but rather a lic.dat file added before pkg creation by cfw2ofw.

If you updated to 4.83, you won't be able to install those games anymore until a new webkit exploit is found but games that are already installed should keep working fine.
You should be able to use them online too.

This is actually a pkg linker support question. Please post your question in the appropriate thread.

Ok so if i install another hdd and not carry over the data and try the usbs it should work? ....ill try that. Thanks for the help
