I was getting a black screen loading Infamous 2 ISO from internal HDD with the latest webman mod (1.47.25.10) and running HEN 3.0.0 on a CECH-3001 4.85 HFW. I tried IRISMAN and it booted up fine.

Here's what I did to fix it:
1. Load IRISMAN and open File Manager.
2. Browse to the ISO file in /hdd000/PS3ISO/ folder
3. Press triangle for menu and Fix Game.

Exit out of IRISMAN and the game should now load successfully using webman mod.

If that doesn't work try rebuilding database from the recovery menu.

Hopefully this helps others who are having issues.
 
thank you so much... i am using your useful tips for my Multiman black screen problem
now my Multiman running normally with the latest Webman v1.47.26
 
Thanks for the guide, giving it a go now

Woohoo, hen is working again, thanks heaps

Hello I need some help.

I'm on HFW 4.8.5, with HEN installed on my SS PS3.

Last couple of days HEN kept failing, so I waned to perform fresh install. Followed Steps (8) from OP, but HEN keeps failing (not always, but sometimes), after HDD install (didnt use USB for HEN install).

Also I noticed after all those steps, HEN folder is missing from HDD0 (latest HEN pkg didn't create one). Should it be there?

Ok there are a few things that if you have issues using these tips will solve all your issues.


First off if using webMAN mod try setting your temp to a constant temp instead of having the PS3 auto setting for the fan control. It's fixed quiet a few issues for some people.

Also if still giving you issues and want webMAN @deank vanilla version doesn't conflict with other managers. I personally have IRISMAN, multiMAN, and Managunz installed with webMAN mod issues free. I get maybe one fail out of 50+. BTW I use all three of @Joonie @Zar and @kozarovv HEN builds of all three managers. As well as @aldostools wMM/IRISMAN file manager

Another issue with HEN is if a disc is left in the drive. Simply remove the disc from the system unless it's in use as you don't need HEN for this. They aren't sure why this happens but they have been debugging it as it was thought to have been fixed since the 1.03+ builds. Small price to play to avoid dreaded black screens.

Another issue some have especially when installing HEN exploit the first time is the need to enable the browser close option.


Also if you can't trigger the exploit try deleting the cache/cookies and only have one window open at a time due to the RAM restrictions/limitations.

Now if you were having issues with HEN it's a good idea to simply erase with a file manager or via FTP. The HEN folder is found in the following directory.

HDD0/:hen

Then you can start fresh to ensure you don't have any file corruption going on due to HEN failing to init. It is also wise to boot i into recovery menu and restore your file system. After that rebuild your database. Nothing is deleted but you will have to reorganize your XMB. You do this using #3 first and then option #4. It also couldn't hurt to reinstall HFW TWICE from this screen using option #6 with the file in a folder like this and named exactly.

PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP

Download link (MEGA) : HFW_4.84.2_PS3UPDAT.PUP

Also if you are using XMB mods it's wise to remove them first and foremost to self troubleshoot. These can be the culprit of some issues as well.

Now most if not all of these tips are on the forum but I tried to put them all in one post and tag it PS3HEN so others can find it easily. Doing these things either one or a combo of a few has fixed 98% of all the users I have helped remedy their issues.

And another thing do not try to install CCAPI as it will throw a soft brick that's annoying to fix. Also don't use Rebug Toolbox if you don't know what you are doing. It wasn't designed for HEN. And XMBM+ and other XML mods weren't designed for HEN. They will throw a soft brick as well. @DeViL303 HEN Toolbox is ok as it was done with HEN in mind but it if a problem should occur see if removing it can help.

Finally I'll leave with the order of which I would do to ensure you have the best possible setup and no file corruption.

  1. Delete HEN from "HDD0:/hen
  2. Install HFW twice from recovery
  3. Run "File System Repair" from recovery
  4. Run "Rebuild Database" from recovery
  5. Open your browser and clear cookies & cache
  6. Press triangle and make sure you enable browser auto close option
  7. Run auto installer for HEN from **ps3xploit.com >Domain no Longer owned by team** (ps3xploit.me =new)
  8. Do a fresh install of the managers again. They can be found HERE while webMAN can be found HERE

Hopefully this helps some of the newer users out there. If you have anything to add that helped you please let me know and I can add your fix and credit to this like I did via mentions from others who have helped.

Let's keep the conversation civil as well. No flamming or bad mouthing other new users. I know this has all been said before but now it's all in one post. As usual feel free to drop me a message and I can help more. But most of all the guys are working on this non-stop since it's initial release.

Their goal is to not get black screens or HEN init issues. Remember they do this for all of us for free. So keep your H"version X.X.X is the best version" to yourself. That is great but without some concrete proof and just your opinion is just that your opinion. It's always a good idea to use the most up to date public builds.

My hen folder is located at dev flash and dev rewrite. Should I just delete them in both to proceed?

Hi! When you reinstall HFW, the HEN folder located on dev_flash and dev_rewrite are deleted, so don't worry. Newer HEN versions get uninstalled cleanly when you install/reinstall HFW.
 
After setting the fan speed to 55% my ps3 has been crashing like crazy and its slower than a 1999 pc
Its so slow that it takes a minute to the epilepsy warning to show up bruh
 
Can you Restore System settings if your on hen so will it get rid of all of data on my hdd or will it just brick my console?

if multiman will not create iso from disc you can try "copy" which will make jb folder format instead of iso.
 
I don't have a problem with iso files it is that it gives me the same Black Screen and i tried deleting and copying and nothing happened.

p.s: Thanks for quick reply
 
Thx worked but now i have a problem with Endless loading and every time i quit WWE2k17 the ps3 restared by itself and sometimes corrupts irisman and multiman
 
Webman (Vanilla) by Deank is on brewology but link doesnt work anymore can someone give me a working version for HEN?
