Eh, nothing "wrong" per se, just lots of wasted space and the renamed functions just add confusion. Could be optimized but it works so who cares I guess.


Fair enough but it should replace the current check now. Even if stack/payload is read into memory properly, HEN can still fail.

It only succeeds when hen is enabled 100%
It checks only when kernel exploit is succeeded and payload is ready to execute. If hen exploit fails console reboots
 
Having issue with PS3Hen V3 when starting Multiman on PS3 SuperSlim Model 4001C.
As well as having issues resigning PSN pkgs specifically i.e. 'Warhawk'. Tested COD:MW3 and that worked fine on my SuperSlim. Hen doesn't install PKG_RIFs for PSN Games?

you do not need to resign packages for HEN, it supports retail, HAN, and Debug.

also, HEN supports reading RAP files directly from /dev_hdd0/exdata/ or /dev_usb000/exdata/
 
Hi, i have a ps3 slim with FW 4.82 and PS3HEN. I updated HEN to 2.40 a month ago and then v3.0 came out with no support for it. Can someone please tell me the process to update it to the latest firmware (FW 4.85) with HEN V3 enabled?

When updating to HFW 4.85, i have to install the OFW 4.85 first, right?
Click to expand...
Question answerd million time :anonymous: ,no need to install OFW 4.85 uneeded step

HFW is an OFW + old 4.50 exploitable module (silk_webkit.sprx) as $ONY blocks/patches the exploits/tools founded in 4.81/4.82 in OFW 4.83 till 4.85 so HFW is mixture of :
  • OFW 4.85 (Unpacked)
  • Replaced "/dev_flash/vsh/module/silk_webkit.sprx" with old exploitable one from OFW 4.82
  • Repack it again with :
    • old 4.50 exploitable silk_webkit.sprx
    • old 4.75 explore_category_tv.sprx/old 4.75 mtpinitiator_plugin.sprx
    • version.txt (edited from 4.85 to 4.85.1 HFW [Hybrid and exploitable])
    • edited firmware Build from 67869 to 99999 so when user do a twice firmware installation it doesn't bypass the user agrement

After you install HFW 4.85.1
  • Go to Internet Browser
  • 19586-54207e2966d8df735e371e59927051b9.jpg
    ->Search then type ps3xploit and click on first link
  • 19586-54207e2966d8df735e371e59927051b9.jpg
    ->Tools->Home page->Use Current
  • Disable Confirm browser Close

  • Install HEN from PS3HEN tab like on OFW 4.82/4.84.2 HFW if HEN Installer *Fixed* not work then try HEN Installer (Alternate)
:)

Hope everyone in future see this post to stop asking million time the same question of [Do i need to install the OFW 4.85 first or not?]

Please don't spread misinformation on the technical side of hfw if you don't know. Hfw uses a bug in ps3 which doesn't validate the pkg if it's from older firmware, in 4.85 it's from 4.76 to match the structure. Because of how 4.85 is there are 2 more modules from 4.76 which are fixed when hen is installed.
YOU CANT EDIT A PKG, UPL IS IN A PKG AND WE CANT EDIT IT FOR HFW.WE CANT REPLACE A SINGLE MODULE BUT THE WHOLE PKG.

Ideally Sony should have added date on syscon and on the pkg header and do a comparison check but they didn't because they were too sure there files can't have a bug and it bit them hard

Yes i know that ps3 doesn't check if pkg its from older firmware and i know the modules are explore_category_tv.sprx and mtpinitiator_plugin.sprx just forget to mention them and i said in previous post 4.82 cause 4.82 is the last exploitable OFW (without need for HFW),i know HFW 4.85 since that day when it released and 28 august

explore_category_tv.sprx 4.75
mtpinitiator_plugin.sprx 4.75
silk_webkit.sprx 4.50

but silk_webkit didn't change in 4.82 thats why i said 4.82 ,anyway thanks for remembring me :)

Edit : i update my previous post ,if there is something missing to add it or misinfo posted let me know :tranquillity:

Hi all, I am very new to this, can't find anywhere to post a new question, so I am using this thread.
I did my psp many years ago and now I did the xploit on my PS3 super slim, I'm on 4.85 HFW with HEN, and now I want to put the good stuff in it, got some games I converted long ago when HAN came up the first time, it all worked fine untill there was an update that I don't remember clicking on to but it's all fixed as I'm on HFW.
My questions are, with this new version, do I still need to convert all the games and if I do where do I get the tools as all the links I find seem dead.
Also can I put emulators on my PS3, like Mega Drive, GBA, etc... and where do I get them?
Any homebrew availiable for it?
Thanks all, and specially to the great team that keeps on making the PS 3 great again.

Answers to some of your questions:
You don't need to convert your games, you can use ISO/PKG/Game folder/PSPISO... and also now you can put the RAPS in dev_hdd0/exdata or dev_usb00/exdata!
Where and if you can put emulators: I'm not sure about that.
HEN stands for Homebrew ENabler so almost all the homebrews run on the PS3. BUT DO NOT TRY CCAPI, IT WILL BRICK!

Hi everyone. Sorry if this has been asked before but i looked and couldn't find the answer. Now my ps3 has han installed and at version 4.82 . If i install hen as instructed, will my current games installed with han work?
 
2nd (3rd?) week use of HEN 3.0

75% success rate (no issues)
10% fail rate
10% stuck on black screen issue after running the mounted iso game (ps3 game)
5% PS3 shut-off/power down after running the mounted iso game (pressing the power button twice to power it up again).

the black screen and shut-off issue can be resolved if you just left the HEN hanging for 30 seconds after it was enabled, I dont know why but doing that thing solves the issue. Only plugins installed is webman (content scanning at startup is disabled). Though its still the same case without plugins but running multiman as soon as HEN is enabled triggers the same black screen or shut-off issue.

If you disable the option "scan for new content" on webman those results will improve, you can always refresh the game list for yourself, using the vsh menu and a few other methods.

yep ive known that since early V1 of HEN with webman. though even with the content scan disabled, the issue is still present, idling on XMB after HEN is loaded is one fix that I know that works regarless if there's a plugin or not.

Someone on here discovered a neat trick which works for me,if the square continues to spin longer than it should,circle out before it goes red.go to the PS3xploit link top of next column to the right,x and load page,circle out.try HEN again and enables successfully.every time so far.
 
since 3.0 HEN was released i dont remeber having an initialization failure or freeze. what i do after i turn on the ps3 and is in OFW mode i let it load wait for the hdd accsses light to stop and also i go left and right on the xmb and check everything is loaded and if the 2 conditions have been met i enable hen at it will enable successfully i've done this since 2.3 HEN and it has never failed only freezed (rarely).

most of the time the console freezes i think its because of webman and thats after hen was enabled correctly
