PS3HEN [Support Thread] PS3HEN Bugs, Problems, and Other Issues

Windows may be hiding filename extentions. If you are not sure if the PUP file is named correctly, you can right-click on it and open its properties. The full name will be displayed there. Check that .pup is in the name only once. ps3updat.pup.pup will not work.

Remove any firmware version spoofs before installing a pup! They can cause install to fail.

Do not use USB hubs while installing firmware. Only plug in the USB device with the pup file and your controller.

Thank you for your advice. I checked the file properties and it reads as 'PS3UPDAT.PUP' and says it's a PUP file.

I'm inserting the USB drive directly into the PS3 USB slot closest to the blueray drive.

What do you mean by firmware spoofs? Do I need to downgrade my firmware to 4.88 before installing the HFW 4.89 PUP file? i read it should install over 4.89 via safe mode however I cant seem to get that to work, just tring to work out what it might be. I've tried so many USB drives as well so I'm not sure what the issue is :/
 
This thread will serve as a place to consolidate all of the current issues users are experiencing with PS3HEN. This will only cover released versions, not BETA, TEST, and RC versions.

It is generally best to test these cases on a clean install of both HFW and HEN.

I will try keeping this post updated with problems and solutions, based on user feedback and personal testing.

Thanks for the Hen update ... please help! I get this error message "PS3HEN could not resolve update host" whenever i try to enable hen..

a spoof is when your ps3 tells psn that it is on a higher firmware than it really is on. it is a trick to access psn without updating to latest firmware.

no downgrade needed. (without CFW it is impossible anyway).

it is not a problem. HEN is trying to check for updates...but the server it is looking for is down. there is a new server address and the next version of HEN will use it.

you can turn off auto-updates by creating an empty file named "hen_updater.off" and placing it in the root of the ps3 HDD using FTP or a file manager homebrew. that way the error will not show any more.

Thank you again for your help. It only has 4.89 OFW. I guess my console must be the exception to the rule or something :(

Ok but how i will be able to download the newest version from HEN then? Manually?
 
However there's an annoying bug with ps2 games ported to ps3 pkg package through ps2 classics that's disabling hen each time that i exit from ps2 game, ...i hope will be fixed in the next update.
 
I don't think you can download the latest version "manually" yet. As for me, I don't have none of them file managers installed so I won't be able to do what @Coro said I should do. I think you should try that method since you already have MM and IrisMan.

Hey Coro, do you know if it's possible to install HFW 4.89.1 via a CD or DVD? Ive tried some USB 4GB FAT (not Fat32) drives as I read sometimes they are needed but I'm still not able to update to HFW 4 89.1 via USB.

I've been wondering if maybe the HFW has been blocked by Playstation somehow?

no problem, you can just ignore the error if you prefer :)

yes, from ps3xploit.me website and then install it like any other pkg file (after enabling hen).

it is not a bug. when ps2 games are played, the ps3 reboots into a different mode. everything like hen gets wiped from memory at that time. after ps2 is done, the ps3 reboots into normal mode again and wipes the memory once more.

yes! you can put the pup file on a disc with the same file and folder names used on usb. i do not think that thry can block hfw because it looks like official update.

No success unfortunately with a CD with the same folder structure, really wish it would work :( would it be worth trying the non offical 4.89.2 HFW?
 
Hey guys, i wonder if someone is having problems with Artemis and Netcheat with the latest HEN and firmware 4.89. I'm trying to search values in memory but PS3MAPI only returns a bunch of zeroes in every memory addresses. Even dumping full memory with webman mod i got a 256MB binary file filled with zeroes too. I tried to apply cheats with artemis but it just does nothing in-game. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any answers that could helps to solve this issue
