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 all
HAN installer is keep on failing to launch HAN. Failing to copy files. I tried almost all the methods .I am using my ps3 superslim ofw 4.82 series CECH-4208A.pl. Help me on this.... Thank u...
 
bruh listen. dont make life hard for yourself and others. connect your pc directly to your ps3 using an Ethernet cable and transfer it. also your internet speed wont matter cuz it will all be done locally. your internet speed mattered only when you pirated that game.:D
:D:D:D burn:D:D:D
 
I just bought a 32gb flashdrive off amazon formated to fat32 and pkg's install just fine on it.I keep hearing there is a 4gb limit on here so i thought i might clear that up.Unless there is a limit on the amount of data that can be installed or read on it,i have no idea at the moment.
It means you can not have a single pkg file larger than 4GB you can even have a 1TB formatted to fat 32 but you can't put a pkg that's larger than 4GB ,you can put multiple smaller pkgs though :);):)

Ah ok i see.Then there is a limit on the amount of data it can read off the flashdrive,not the amount of data the flashdrive can store.

Okay, so I finally realized that C00 (Timed Trials) and ISOs (Game Backups) cannot be installed using this method.

Only games downloaded via the Playstation Store can be installed, as long as they have a .rap file.

So, here is my question : How do you play ISOs and C00 ? No .rap file means no .rif file. Then, how do you play ISOs and C00 ?

1) Go to the individual xploit pages and bookmark them.
2) Clear Cookies and Cache
3) Restart browser
4) Go to the xploit page using bookmark, install and enjoy. Woo!
 
@Troy McGrath I've got ICO HD installed and I want to update it. How to do this? As i call - when I tried to update by clicking 'OK' when the game starting and the alert about update is on. Is it update on .pkgs? Where to find? :D

Why update it ?

When you install the package using the Package Manager, and activate it using HAN, disconnect the Internet and play it, boo boo.
 
I tried to install Burnout Paradise, the installation works but I can't copy the rif files. Also, I already owned this game some years ago ( it was free on ps plus ) , infact If I go to info it display my official psn as the owner and the game itself is out of date.
How can I do it? I know how it works since I already did it with other games.

OK, thanks. More one question - can I play this games on my normal PSN account (offline, why not) and then synchronize trophies? Or it's ban high risk?
