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, please I need help.
I could install 2 games and they work, yayy :)
1 game is under 4 GB and the other one over 4 GB both of them didn't have updates. The point is they work!

I have another one, I tried many times, same way, and it still gives me an error 80010017.

The other thing is not quite clear to me, what exactly I do with the update? So Is it like this?
1, install the signed pkg first, than inject the act and idps with the created pkg.
2, install the update
am I correct or should I do something else? Different order, or even should I sign the update file? I tried every combinations, and it still doesn't work. So please tell me step by step If I have a pkg and and update , what exactly I have to do? I spent reading a lot but I couldn't find anywhere (really).
I am very beginner with ps3, I am very surprised I could make it work at all :)

and thanks for the very good job for all devs!

ps. I am not using for piracy, I got these games, But I bought a 360 GB version to have/copy them to the PS3, that time I did't know this particular slim is not hackeable. I just like to have games on HDD and play without swapping discs.

only disk games require update to run , not PSN games

ok, thank you, at least I know I don't need update files.
So I still have the question, what could be the solution? for error 80010017?
update: I might found the problem, now in the application I used to download the pkg it says warning invalid rap. so I believe that's why... But it wasn't there in the morning :)

Hey, maybe it's just me,
But, everytime I reboot my PS3 and then try playing a game I installed by this method in the last run, it tells me to reactivate my PS3, and when I do reactivate it and then try to play the game, it says that it can't be started and I get an error code 80010017, any suggestions as to how to fix this?
 
it all worked perfectly, last app i installed was gaia manager then i deleted it. then I tried to install other apps and i get a error 8001003A ( han enabled 100%).
I already installed other games like limbo and angry brirds but it just suddely stopped working
 
So, I've done everything and everything completed but in the end when I've put my signed pkg file onto the root of my FAT32 formatted usb stick and entered the package installer the package says RATCHET and the 2 arrows keep spinning in a circle. I've enabled HAN again after rebooting and copied the rif file name and everything, but i've not seen anyone with this problem. If anyone could explain I would be most grateful.
Please help i've asked this everywhere...
