PS3 PS3HEN: A Homebrew ENabler (& more) for SuperSlim & all nonCFW PS3 Consoles !!!

UPDATE v1.01/.02 have been released v2.0 has been released v3.0.1 has been released

Original Thread See Link above for Updated PS3HEN v2.xxx ^

Huge news for nonCFW compatible PS3 Models (SuperSlims and late Slim Models) as anonymous developer's have dropped a huge bombshell with the release of PS3HEN. Just recently we seen the release of HFW (Hybrid Firmware) for the PS3, proving once again that the development scene is still alive and kicking to bring a new window of exploration to 4.84 by bringing back a patched webkit (from 4.82) in a rather clever approach. Which restored the PS3Xploit Tools for 4.84 for both Custom Firmware Compatible Models (for CFW installs) and for nonCFW models that utilized the less powerful etHANel (aka HAN) exploit that with today's news will be an obsolete hack with the emergence of the PlayStation3 first HEN or otherwise known as a Homebrew ENabler. So, yes that means SuperSlim Console's and late Slims PS3 Models (aka nonCFW models) can now FINALLY enjoy PS3 Homebrew at last, but that is not all this PS3HEN release brings to the table. As there is a number of CFW patches / features that come along for the ride as well, while not on quite par with CFW functionality completely it does provide a number of functions that is very exciting and very close to a CFW experience (especially with homebrew support)..Some additional features include things like Boot-Plugin Support, BDISO Support, Cinavia patches are just a few of the features/patches you can see outlined in the release notes:

This has been a long journey for the SuperSlim's/late slims who were left on the outside of the community for a very long time and then finally got an introduction to hacks with the HAN exploit and now with a more powerful HEN that has now emerged finally there will be plenty of new possibilities.

  NOTES:
  
  • if you get error 80010017 launching homebrew that simply means HEN failure, restart console and try again!(restart is important!)
  • also try deleting cache, browsing data, cookies and the likes from browser, make the exploit page the home page
  • Added by psx-place (via @esc0rtd3w) -msg source
    
  • without boot_plugins_nocobra.txt file on usb000 it wont load WebMan at /dev_hdd0/plugins/webftp_server.sprx (/boot_plugins_nocobra.txt/file) Note: its actually not a problem or an issue. it prevents bad plugins from running
  • Added by psx-place (via @habib) - msg Source
    Error Code 80028f22 occurs with trying to launch currently unsupported ISO games (ps3)
    
  • Added by psx-place (via @habib)
    Black screen occurs on homebrew when not re-signed or rarely occurs for no reason (hen failure)
  
  DEVELOPERS:
  
  • #define SYSCALL8_OPCODE_IS_HEN 0x1337
  • using this if return 0x1337 its hen
  • ADVANCED POKE:syscall8(0x7003, addr, value);
  • this allows poking any location in lv2 memory BUT you have to restore original value before exiting to another application or exiting to xmb.USE WISELY OTHERWISE PS3 SHUTS DOWN
  • BDMIRROR:Managunz FTW!(please use Cobra payload because by default its MULTIMAN)
  • NOTE:mounting dev_blind will actually mount dev_flash. change files directly from dev_flash instead or hdd0/plugins/CFW/
  • Kernel Mode returns 0x53434500 on success to user webkit 0x8a000000. its good to measure HEN success. right now hen is already close to or is 100%
  
  
  WARNINGS
  
  • DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES ENABLE FSM (Factory Service Mode) ON A PS3 WITH PS3HEN! - Source
  • CONNECTION TO PSN SHOULD BE DONE AT YOUR OWN RISK. DISABLING CFW SYSCALLS MAY NOT HIDE YOUR HEN WHILE ON PSN (a popular method used by CFW user's may not be suited for PS3HEN user's)

  F.A.Q.
  This section has been added by psx-place.com​
  
  Q.) What is the differences between PS3HEN & Custom Firmware?
  A.) (via habib) So, the limitations of hen
  
  1.resigning is needed of homebrews!
  2.some homebrews need updates to support(READ:Readme)
  3.erk dumper or tools such as IDPSet are not possible
  4.ps3 iso are not possible
  5.(could be fixed with some reversing) NPDRM paid licenses won't work if not signed with HAN key(tools such as reactpsn need update or fix in hen needed)
  6.(BUG)since NPDRM paid licenses won't work when HEN enabled(thus HAN with it), original paid content won't work without resign or when hen enabled
  7.its just not permenant like CFW​

UPDATED v3.0.1
SEE: PS3HEN v3.0.1​

See the (Work In Progress) PS3 Starter Guide for PS3 HEN user's
We will be adding alot of content to over the next days >>> LINK <<<​

 

aldo fixed that issue already in official files

https://github.com/aldostools/webMA...9/webMAN_MOD_1.47.19_Installer_ps3hen_fix.pkg

there are a few webman issues still, like fan control, but this works

install it once HEN is enabled and reboot


what package? lol

there are like 8 of them for AIO

the files are the same as release. it has original and debug versions

HDD files use HEN1.BIN as a filename under /dev_hdd0/hen/

EDIT:

i see your edit

thanks bro

 

I get this erroe when trying to install the offline hdd package: 8001003A

you are not running the HAN + Flash mounter

http://**ps3xploit.com >Domain no L...ploit.me =new)/hen/blind/han_flash_mount.html

it works. run that and install

i would recommend to install PS3HENtai_signed.pkg 1st, then offline pkg

good to hear

 

To people who have issues running other homebrew whilst having 'boot_plugins_cobra.txt' on your USB, trying installing the HDD version of the package (with webMAN).

(Remember, you have to, Enable HAN and Mount Flash -> Install the package -> Reboot the PS3, to have a proper install)

 

So from what I've learned is webMAN_MOD_1.47.19_Installer_ps3hen_fix runs the fan awesome, but clicks off console on any homebrew lunch. but the hdd version with webMAN runs home brew and mounts disc but no fan. My very first install of HEN and webMAN run both fan and homebrew but no mounting of disc idk what happen.

 

I'm happy I can play Fallout NV and Avatar, I tried mounting a game using PS3NetServer but no luck it failed.

 

In many circumstances , ps3 stuck or Black screen.For example, 1. mounting game by multiman and entering multiman. 2.Starting game after clicking icon. 3.hen enable offline. I don't know why this happened by chance. Oh,PS1 ISO not supported in this condition(Eboot.bin transferred to ISO).

 

A person with a PS3 CFW has a small problem ... she says she installed a new game on the external hd, however, the game icon does not appear in the multiman, even with all the files needed for the game to run, someone knows tell me how to solve this problem?

I believe isos require mmcm (cobra) the option to switch between jb and isos is selectable in the main menu. from what I remember, mm can't read jb and iso games at the same time

ISOs don't work as of now. There has been some success in using Game Folders.

but she is using the games in the folder format

 

I believe isos require mmcm (cobra) the option to switch between jb and isos is selectable in the main menu. from what I remember, mm can't read jb and iso games at the same time

She told me that the problem is just the game icon that does not appear in the main menu of the multiman, she can only start the game by going through the file manager and selecting the eboot for the game to start.

Guys I will say a point about hen and all you have to do is to say to me if I'm right or not.... If I enables hen I can access all hombrews such as multiman irisman...etc and I couldn't sign to psn or play online games but if I didnt enabled hen yet I can play online but I can't access hombrews and the games that I could play it in that time is the cfw2ofw converted backup games

Is IAM right about what I am saying

 

All homebrew needs to be remade for HEN, its the same when new CFW comes out. Just wait for HEN specific versions. Multiman is known to not work fully.

Oh. Sorry for bugging you for such a stupid question

 

How do I get ps1 game to work? I have the bin and cue files in the PSX ISO folder but when I mount the game with either multiman or managunz I get a black screen

1 - Yes you can install homebrew. But everything is not guaranteed to work (yet) (some homebrew is working as of now, multiman, irisman, webman and a few more)
2 - Technically, you can sign into PSN. You may/may not be banned. We still don't know clearly.
3 - Even if you din't enable HEN, there are chances of you getting banned.

 

Yes, I have the raps, do I have to resign them with the act / idps in resigner 2.0? same as han?

Obs: I formatted the hd so I have to do that dump process of the act / idps and resignate them with the raps and install that rif pkg that generates in the resigner 2.0?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you have to keep doing the HAN technique for PSN games, since you know, react PSN doesn't seem to work

 

By the way, could someone explain me why people are willing to use webman more than anything else ? On pspx, all the russians only use webman mod, no one talks about multiman. Yet, if I understood well, it is considered as a bad plugin because it requires to get the boot_plugins_nocobra on dev_usb000 ?
