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.

Hey, so I accidentally installed the .rif and modified act.dat file from secondary acc to my main acc. Now no HAN game will run. I still have the original act.dat from the secondary acc. Is there any way to restore only the act file, or do i erase and re-create my primary acc. Thanks in advace.
 
Well ive been trying my luck at installing pkgs above 4gb.The pkg linker doesnt seem to work for me since im on windows 10 and i dont have a ethernet cable laying around,so that leaves me with the pkg spliter.I was able to split the pkg of a ps2 game (persona 3) but when i do it has numbers at the end instead of .pkg.So what i did was rename all the parts to .pkg at the end and i tried to install the first part of the split pkg,what it does is it installs halfway,then it give me a error.Is there some trick to get it to work with han? What i see in tutorials is in multiman it automatically detects the parts then installs them even if they dont have .pkg at the end of there name.Im guessing at this point my best bet is to hunt for a ethernet cable huh? Since wifi doesnt work with pkg linker.

I saw a video a guy installing a Super Mario 64 game into ps3 and playing.. is that true? If yes .. how? With Han this is possible??
 
In the xmb menu, he clicks on the Mario Game, and the game starts without the ps2 logo intro.
I'm very surprised.
Also, i don't think it exists Nintendo 64 emu for ps2.
 
Good luck to all of you guys. I'm making a full restore of my ps3 (maybe it's gona take 6 hours and i must reinstall all the dlc that i bought) but in the end of the day the ps3xploit v3.0 with han isnt optimized and in my opinion its still a beta. The lack of xmb mods exept for third party. The fat32 problem. No (homebrews). I'm gona quit it from here its too hard beside that i'm in a school about only pc amd programming. For me i wanna really have a multiman or at least some sort of webman but now this projet it just an PexPloit Lite just without some parts to be needed on the pc. But all the developers did a really good job about the ps1/2/3/psp part anyways good luck for the homebrews :D

Just want to say thank you for releasing an OFW compatible Xploit for all slims and super slims as I was hunting for a while and could not find anything that was compatible. I think a good feature for this Xploit is to be able to enable Han Enabler while offline for people who might not have internet all the time but leaving the online option there for people to use still. Other than that it is a good Xploit besides I have been struggiling to be able to put PS2 Games on my super slim but I'll try and work it. Thanks
 
If i install a pkg from example... Snes9x an snes emulator.. (which i think it is that so called Homebrew) on my ps3 ofw with han.
What will happen? I will brick my ps3?
 
Using Miniweb all ok via WiFi (HAN Installer, HAN Enabler & IDPS&ACT Dump)
How to
Miniweb Server
1 Download the release files from ps3xploit
2 extract the files
3 move o copy the miniweb.exe into the folder
4 create the folder htdocs
5 move the folder html into htdocs
6 exec the miniweb (this last action will generate a generic Index)


Pre-Installation

1 Set Blank Page as home
2 Set all html (miniweb address/html) (5 of them in the html folder) as bookmark
3 Delete Cookies, Cache & History
4 Restart Browser

HAN Installer
1 Insert into usb000 (the right port) a usb stick (fat32) with the HAN support files (Extracted Files from the release)
2 Go to installer bookmark and Initialize HAN Installer (usually it says Failed, in this case Reboot PS3 & Retry ) then Launch HAN installation

HAN Enabler
1 after the automatic reboot Go to Enabler bookmark and Initialize HAN then Enable HAN

ACT / IDPS DUMP
1 Insert into usb000 (the right port) a usb stick (fat32) without files (a fresh format one)
2 Go to act/idps bookmark and Initialize ACT/IDPS Dumper then Dump ACT.DAT & IDPS
this will copy idps.hex (16 bytes) & act.dat (4.05 kb)

Has anyone had problems with the backup of the act.dat and the idps.hex in superSlim 12gb? gives error when copying to usb.
I could only get the idps.hex through the emmc dumper but I can not by the option act.dat / idps.hex just leave me the idps.hex by idps.hex emmc
sorry for my bad English

Do NOT post the same thing multiple times in the forum! Other occurrences of this post have been deleted.

As to your problem dumping act.dat & idps.hex, that would most likely be because you didn't follow the instructions & don't have a PSN account activated in your ps3 user profile which is a pre-requirement to using the act/idps dumping tool.

What the heck are you talking about ? With HAN, I was able to install Crysis HS, AC Black Flag and Need for Speed Hot Pursuit.

This beta is not even a frigin beta. It much more than that. Except for iso and c00 games, this baby can install and play anything as long as that game has a .rap file.

Use HAN Toolbox for offline activation. Simple as that.

you did not understand?
I can get the IDPS.bin and the IDPS.hex from the ps3xploit website but in the act.dat / idps.hex section the error always comes out and I do it at face value and it's the only thing that gives me an error, I have the idps.bin and idps.hex but not the act.dat

this error I only get it from ps3 super slim cech4211a 12gb, I already did it in a ps3 ofw 4.82 cech3k and everything worked perfect
