UPDATE 1 (OCT. 11 2018) - With the release of OFW 4.83 portions of PS3Xploit have been patched, The team is looking at workarounds, STAY ON 4.82, DO NOT UPDATE TO 4.83 AT THIS TIME:

UPDATE 2 (MARCH -2019) HFW (Hybrid Firmware) Released - Allows for PS3Xploit Tools / Hacks (including HAN) to work for 4.84 (OFW) OFFICIAL FIRMWARE (See Here) Also the HAN Exploit was updated to v3.01 for 4.84 HFW support

dThe PS3Xploit Team has done it yet once again with an incredible breakthrough that has now just gone LIVE for everyone and as the recent teaser recently suggested it's for those later Slim & SuperSlim models who are not capable of using CFW (aka NoN CFW Compatible Models). While not a HEN (Homebrew Enabler) it's a volatile dose of "HAN" (short for etHANol). This version of the hack has evolved to offer something to every PS3 model now. All existing models will now have the ability to get PS3 games backup pkg installation and PS1/PS2/PSP emulators support among other features as outlined by developer bguerville who is going to take from here with this introduction of PS3Xploit v3.0 -- Codenamed: "HAN"

  • PS3Xploit Team is pleased to announce the official release of the PS3Xploit Tools v3.0 project nicknamed 'HAN'.

    PS3Xploit Tools v3.0 is a suite of 6 tools supporting both official firmware versions 4.81 & 4.82. The only pre-requirement to use HAN is to have an activated PSN user account.
    It's recommend not to use your main PSN account but rather a spare one.
    Users should create a new secondary user account on the PS3 then activate a new PSN account in it.
    This secondary ps3 account should be used to perform all the pkg installations. Then for regular gaming, use the primary user account.

    The principle behind HAN is quite simple, due to a vulnerability in the way npdrm content is managed, it is possible to resign game related files with custom keys, patch vsh & install resigned pkg from XMB.

    The first tool, on the PC side, ps3xploit_rifgen_edatresign.exe should be used to generate rif files and create new signed_act.dat. You should place the act.dat/idps.hex, previously dumped with HAN ACT/IDPS Dumper, in the resigner directory and drag matching rap file for your game onto the executable file. Then rename the new "signed_act.dat" to "act.dat" and place it on USB drive along with the new rif file. The files are now ready to be pushed to the PS3 using the HAN ACT/RIF Copier.

    ** It is recommended to resign all the pkgs that require Han enabler with this tool**
    ** Packages which are converts and packages which needs rif activation **
    **
    keep original act.dat in a safe place **

    On the PS3 side, the other 5 ps3xploit tools are:
    1. HAN Installer - Copies necessary system files to PS3 to run HAN.
    2. HAN Enabler - Enables the HAN patches
    3. HAN ACT/IDPS Dumper - Dumps current user profile user act.dat & PS3 IDPS to USB.
    4.
    HAN ACT/RIF Copier - Copies the resigned act.dat & generated rif file from USB to the current user profile.
    5. HAN Debug PKG Enabler - Provided optionally for users wishing to install debug pkg. Note that if you run this patch you will not be able to install any pkg resigned with the ps3xploit resigner for HAN anymore until you reboot!

    The 'HAN' project is solely relying on userland exploitation to provide digital backups support for the majority of PS3 Games as well as PS1/PS2/PSP Emulators (within the ps3 firmware) and the ability to install PKG files from USB. PS3 PKG Game backups need to be prepared using TABR like technique and only ps3 games having an available "game update" are supported.
    PKG files are installed from the Games XMB column, using a version of the Rebug Package Manager tweaked for this project. On USB of course, the FAT32 limitation of 4Gb is still in effect, it's a partition type limitation, nothing we can do about that. However workarounds using a local server can be used to remedy the situation if required.
    Important:
    To get best results initializing the exploit, remember to load the pages directly from a clean browser session. Never browse to an exploit page from other pages & never use a homepage other than blank or the exploit page you wish to use.
    We recommend to:
    1. Go to the ps3 browser homepage option & choose blank homepage.
    2. Create favourites to HAN Enabler & the other HAN pages you wish to use.
    3. Restart the browser.
    4. Use the favourites to access any page from complete scratch.
    5. Reload the browser between exploits.

Hi... i don't have one of these newer PS3s but i'm following this with some academical interest.
I've already asked this a few days ago but still got no responce:
How's about PKGs which are converted to license-free (no rif activation needed)... do they just install and run out-of-the-box ?
Interesting i may try it when my friend brings me his ps3 s.s :)
 
why just dont we split packages +4gb with ps3 spliter and rename at last lettre .666 and put _part1 _part 2 ...

Hi!
License activation is decided by edats. Check devwiki for its struct
All custom pkgs must be resigned due to ecdsa mismatch, thanks to Sony's flaw we found yet another exploit on that.
Also for pkgs which do require activation, their edats must be resigned in most cases. This is handled by my tool already. The reason for this is the nature of the new exploit. Improper implementation of NX DEP. we had to change ecdsa keyset to a custom one.

If you are interested in development, you can pm me and I'll help you with that :)
 
Is there a way to run han enabler without internet connection, using a crossover cable to connect my ps3 to pc?
 
muchachos no se den por vencidoscon sofware de la ps3 super slim, o mejoren el ps3xploit para poder jugar los juegos mas pesado, ya que somosmillones en el mundo que necesitamos mucho el chispeo de los super slim! muchachos trabajen que losapoyamos en este trabajo que ustedes hacen. no se den por vencidos!!!!
 
Help, when i click Enable HAN, my Superslim PS3 freezes and does nothing for 5 minutes, everything is frozen. Han installed perfectly fine and now suddenly han doesn't enable..., Han enabler intiliazed was successful and i clicked enable han and then ps3 froze..

UPDATE : i reinstalled the han and enabled the han through my local server and works now, pkg's are installing :)

pre-requirement to use HAN is to have an activated PSN user account.
what about someone like me who never used psn before?
is it possible for han team to make an offline ver of their exploit? that would be nice ^-^
 
viejo tengo el internet que me esta fallando y cuando escribo no me envia el mensaje por eso se renvia el mensaje. y la traduccion por eso existe el traductor google si no sabes español....
 
Just wondering if there will be a list of ps3 games compatible with han.I here there is a limited amount but thats honestly better than none at all.
 
Excellent work devs! Thanks to the devs and the awesome community, we finally have a way to play our backups.

However, kindly post a thread with a systematic tutorial. Step by step would be great.

Thanks a lot.

Regards,

Troy
 
Okay guys i installed supersonic acrobatic rocket-powered battle-cars. i installed pkg and used the act rif copier and it worked succesfully, everything is signed. But when i open the game it launches and then after a black screen and 3 seconds it says, an error occurred during the start operation (80010007)

Before you launched the game did you turn on the han enabler? Also are you using a second account to launch the game?
 
I have backups of PS2 and PSx PKG from Psn, and whan i try to install ( with Han enabled ) gives me a Wait screen and return to previous screen with nothing done, i sign all of them, maybe not need to sign these kind of PKG?

Anyway all other PS3 Pkg's signed worked fine, many thanks to all devs involved!

You need to wait 20-30 minutes for the please wait screen to go away.When it does go back into your package manager folder and you should find the install bubble in the playstation network content folder.Install that,inject your modified act.dat and rif licence and you are good to go once you use your han enabler again.
