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.

  What is HEN?:
  
  • HEN stands for Homebrew ENabler. it also consists of many more new functions relatively close to a Custom Firmware (CFW)
  
  How does it work?:
  
  Spoiler: Official Instruction

  • Install HAN Enabler. Copy PS3HEN.BIN, HENTAI.pkg and stackframe.bin(READ:rename) to /dev_usb000 and run the HTML.
  • Once done, go to Package manager and install the HENTAI.pkg and reboot console
  • From now on to enable HEN simply use usb000 stackframe.bin and PS3HEN.BIN and run html...HEN ENABLED!
  
  Noob Friendly Instructions (Added by psx-place.com thanks @Louay)
  
  • Install HFW 4.84.2 (Found here) from Official firmware 4.84
    
  • Then use HAN Installer to get Package Manger in XMB Game colmun
  • Copy the 2 BINs (PS3HEN.bin + stackframe.bin) from download file (of PS3HEN v1.0.0) along with HENTAI.pkg to root of USB
  • Install the HENTAI PKG via Package Manager on the XMB
    
  • Use HEN Enabler @ **ps3xploit.com >Domain no Longer owned by team** (ps3xploit.me =new) website (there is offline see @esc0rtd3w twitter post or next tab)
  • Now HEN is Enabled launch your chosen homebrew and run if it give you 80010017 then re use HEN Enabler cause it didn't activate properly

  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)
  • DO NOT INSTALL CCAPI (ControlConsole API)

  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​

I clicked on the hen on slide show and it took me to 2.0.0 hen. Just saying

 

hello, i have a problem with my ps3, everytime i start its show me the error (80010201) and i don´t have access to the internet via LAN, WiFi or Bluetooth (my controller doesnt connect with wireless, just with usb cable). I can´t have acess to "ps3exploit.com" on my ps3 so i can´t install. Can i install HEN manually? I already installed the HenFW, but i can´t acess to internet on ps3, so i can´t fallow the next steps (install alternate).

there are release files you can download on the ps3 xploit..but the devs recommend doing it on there website.and i recommend finding a source of wireless internet or go round a friends and do the ps3 xploit.

You didnt understand me, my console dont have wifi or lan working, its broken. I need the files to install via flash drive or other way. I can install the HFW 4.85, but after that i cant proceed via **ps3xploit.com >Domain no Longer owned by team** (ps3xploit.me =new) on ps3, because its broke the wifi,lan. BTW the controller connects via wireless, take a lit bit long, but connects

Ye and u need the Internet.. Soo u cant do anything till u have Internet.

 

I'm on a PS3 slim OFW 4.85 (model: CECH-2501A) that has PS3HEN already installed. I ran the MinVerChk app and it says, "3.50 or later can be installed." Question is can I jailbreak for a CFW? Do I have to remove the PS3HEN first? Or can I overwrite and install HFW 4.84 to then apply a CFW. I'm new to this whole jailbreak scene and I don't want to brick my system.

i did this and i had hen ..but i reintstalled the ofw then put the HEX file and jailbroken it..u might need to use PS3checker ..something like that. then. make sure you get a cfw on a memory stick to install after restarting ur ps3.

 

HEN needs something extra to go online? or can be used like HAN? (just activate HAN and good to go)

Just click on Enable HEN like you did before with HAN

Think HEN as almost CFW... So it is your choice to follow the procoution and use PSNPatch and then go online or u could go straight online...
No one knows for sure if PSNPATCH and stuff actually works but who knows..

i just want HAN updated to 4.86 and working properly, was perfect for me, im scared of using HEN, i don't wanna use CFW.

HEN isn't CFW just has some of it features and has more risk of ban then HAN but less then CFW. There have been no reports of ban on HEN anyways and I don't think you could possibly brick your console if you follow the rules and stuff that you shouldn't use... HEN=Homebrew ENabler. So it lets you run homebrews (Multiman, Webman mod...) HEN=SUCCESSER TO HAN but HAN will be updated for 4.86 maybe in a week or so. No promises or correct ETA!

HAN was already updated but was a fast update, no tested so, when you try to enable HAN, the console freezes, HEN is no CFW? that's good to know, but im scared about the syscalls, HAN had nothing of that (i think) i just wanted the basics of HAN updated to the newest firmware.

I just noticed HAN has been updated, thanks to you! And yes HAN has nothing to do with SYSCALLS! But on HEN you can disable the syscalls using PSN Patch... Have you tried enabling HAN through the online HAN enabler and see if that works?

Yep, both online and offline and in both cases the console freezes, i installed HEN but now i regret it, i already played online with HEN deactivated but played a game with HEN activated, and now im scared of getting banned.

Don't worry... You shouldn't be banned unless you used some homebrew or modded as the chances of ban is really small!

if you tried to install han after you installed hen...try reinstalling hfw to get rid of hen then try to install han again.
