If your having trouble updating for 2.3.0 then all u do is go into internet browser press triangle and go to tools and go down to confirm browser close and turn it off and then it should work.

Still freezing, sadly. Whenever I click on Enable HEN ( the icon appears and loads, after 5 secs it freezes)After 2.2.2, this happens to me for some reason.UPDATE (6-27-2019): Version 2.3.1 has been released.
See below for additional Details!
.See also: The Great PS3 HEN All in One (AIO) Guide
.Here is v2 of the latest PS3 Hack to hit the PS3 Scene with the recent release of PS3HEN. This exploit for nonCFW console's provides homebrew support and a number of Custom Firmware intangibles for those console that can not install a traditional CFW, with those being lat production PS3 Slim models and all of the SuperSlim Consoles. While this is a tremendous release and breakthrough the information behind PS3HEN has been lacking and has served more questions then answers that could be provided. This is due in the way this was delivered and presented. We paused the reporting this on the frontpage until we were pleased with the documentation. So we took it upon ourselves to get the ball rolling on a new PS3HEN F.A.Q. detailing various aspects and info that will be useful for PS3HEN user's. Also we have started forming the PS3HEN Homebrew & Plugin Compatibility Chart
View attachment 17616
Version 2.x.x has come with a number of new additions for a better experience. Some of the new changes provide full PS3ISO Support ,As well as full BDISO and DVDISO support has been added, plus new improvements to PS3HEN's stability, KW Stealth Extension Added, plus kernel plugin support (v2) to go along with bootplugin support (v1), see changelog below for a complete listing of changes in this new build.

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
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%
** For All Other Options, please see Developer Tab **
If you have to ask which one you need, you DO NOT need the developer one!
Recommended HEN Setup Instructions
Auto Installer (Run HEN From HDD)
HEN Enable will be the default XMB landing icon after installation. To make it work properly, navigate to System Settings > Display [Whats New] > Off

- It is recommended to Disable Confirm Browser Close (TRIANGLE -> Tools -> Confirm Browser Close -> Off) for using any of the web exploits. It just saves the step of having to click the Yes confirmation on exit browser!
- -Users experiencing 8001003A error, while installing custom packages (i.e. Offline PKG), this means dev_rewrite DID NOT mount and you need to reboot, run /html/han_flash_mount_rewrite.html again, then install package.

.WARNINGS:
1) DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES ENABLE FSM (Factory Service Mode) ON A PS3 WITH PS3HEN!2) 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)
3) DO NOT INSTALL CCAPI (ControlConsole API), Also beware that some Homebrew is not playing nice with PS3HEN. Most is fine but some advanced featured apps can cause issues, we will keep you posted in the PS3HEN Homebrew Compatibility Thread

Did you try HFW reinstall ?
Sounds like something really basic is not working properly for you

Forum Noob
I'm trying to do it from scratch right now, including wiping the HDD. I'll send feedback soon. 2.2.1 is the second one I tried after 2.2.2 and it's the only one who has backed up my wishes, truly the only working version atm. But I'll try and tell what happenned later.

Still didn't work, sadly. Did it from scratch and I still find myself with the PS3 freezing. I constantly forgot to say my model so here it goes: PS3 CECH- 3004B

Sounds really strange.
I suggest to check cpu/gpu temps, hdd integrity and power supply values, if possible.
If you have access to another ps3, would be easy to isolate failure swapping hdd and p/s
Prodigio73
Forum Noob
This PS3 is not mine. I did this for my cousin and since he just wants to play backups, 2.2.1 will do just fine I guess my guy. Sorry for the outrage I did with my previous comment but I was really happy for the hotfix for it to end like this. I downgraded and all is fine.
Marcosbong
Member
No worries, man
If you downgraded and everything is fine, it's obvious that p/s and hdd are working ok.
Did you slow format the hdd on a pc ?
Perhaps ps3 hdd formatting tool is not deleting everything, taking onto account that we add files to system that were not supposed to be there for the original O. S.
Prodigio73
Forum Noob
Haven't thought about this. Good idea, although I need the adapter to make it external. But it truly is weird, don't get why it aint working.
Morning guys!
i have a question, if anyone has the knowledge and time to answer it. Can ps3 4k users use the integrated 12GB emmc as normal storage if they also have an HDD inside ? Well, obviously we can't with OFW, can HEN make that a possibility?
edit: yeah, did some research, this is the thread: https://www.psx-place.com/threads/ps3-super-slim-12gb-hdd-hen-mod.24254/

FYI in MM clear cache if using NTFS HDD and run prep NTFS webMan version this happens on CFW as well code differences causes this
amirzaim

So this issue likely happens on webman full version which is I'm using it. Before that, I'm only used NTFS USB flash drive only for running PSX games.
Gonna try to reinstall webman mod and install its plugin as well.
Dude, try to clean all the cache of the browser and the PSN news..it helps alot in the activation since the han era...

It's not the same problem. In HEN, if webMan is loaded, multiMAN will freeze on start.

If you use MM to rip games or load MM clean cache after always if you use NTFS it and webMAN use a different approach to load NTFS games
