    DEVELOPERS:
    #define SYSCALL8_OPCODE_IS_HEN 0x1337
    using this if return 0x1337 its hen

    ADVANCED POKE:syscall8(0x7003, addr, value);
    this allows poking any location in lv2 memory BUT you have to restore original value before exiting to another application or exiting to xmb.USE WISELY OTHERWISE PS3 SHUTS DOWN

    BDMIRROR:Managunz FTW!(please use Cobra payload because by default its MULTIMAN)
    NOTE:mounting dev_blind will actually mount dev_flash. change files directly from dev_flash instead or hdd0/plugins/CFW/

    Kernel Mode returns 0x53434500 on success to user webkit 0x8a000000. its good to measure HEN success. right now hen is already close to or is 100%

  • Upgrading HEN From v1.x.x to v2.x.x
    - Users coming from v1 HEN, should remove the old /dev_hdd0/plugins/CFW/ folder, as it is no longer required for v2 HEN. This can be done by following Standard Online/Local Host Instructions below, then activating FTP with a homebrew like Irisman/Multiman, or using a file manager to delete that /dev_hdd0/plugins/CFW/ directory.    ​

    Qh2bDqf.png


    Thats it, now reboot PS3    ​
    Once HEN enabled from Standard Online/Local Host Method, launch Multiman/mmOS and navigate to the far left, select File Manager/mmOS.

    Now use the right thumb stick to navigate the mouse icon to PS3 Root icon in upper left corner. Double click with X to open. Navigate to dev_hdd0 and double click. Now go to plugins, and find CFW folder.

    Now move the mouse cursor to the CFW directory and press X button, then CIRCLE. Select Delete from the menu and press X again. Thats it, now reboot PS3    ​
    2.0.2+ HEN can use online XMB update method.
    You must have HEN enabled already

    >> HERE <<
    Additional Notes About PS3HEN​

    • It is recommended to Disable Confirm Browser Close (TRIANGLE -> Tools -> Confirm Browser Close -> Off) for using any of the web exploits. It just saves the step of having to click the Yes confirmation on exit browser!
    • Users experiencing 8001003A error, while installing custom packages (i.e. Offline PKG), this means dev_rewrite DID NOT mount and you need to reboot, run /html/han_flash_mount_rewrite.html again, then install package.

    Known Issues:
    None    ​

    Plugin Support

    The user plugins filename has changed from v1 (boot_plugins_nocobra.txt) to v2 (boot_plugins.txt)​

WARNINGS:​
1) DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES ENABLE FSM (Factory Service Mode) ON A PS3 WITH PS3HEN!
2) CONNECTION TO PSN SHOULD BE DONE AT YOUR OWN RISK. DISABLING CFW SYSCALLS MAY NOT HIDE YOUR HEN WHILE ON PSN (a popular method used by CFW user's may not be suited for PS3HEN user's)
3) DO NOT INSTALL CCAPI (ControlConsole API), Also beware that some Homebrew is not playing nice with PS3HEN. Most is fine but some advanced featured apps can cause issues, we will keep you posted in the PS3HEN Homebrew Compatibility Thread​

This is great news but can someone please explain me how do I install this update without screwing up my current HEN setup?...
What happens is that I used one of the All-In-One offline installers that were available for hen 1.0.2. (my PS3 was already set for HAN) So all I did was to run the HAN enabler and install the .pkg file. The installation method I chosed was the recommended one (to install on hdd).
Therefore I just want to make sure to follow any additional steps that may apply to my situation before installing this update. Is it safe to simply install it over my current configuration?
Thanks for your help :)
 
hey guys
i upgraded to hen 2.0 and did the exact steps for the upgrade, but for some reason it keeps freezing in "ENABLING HEN" like forever
what should i do?
thanks for all of this guys ,to the community:)
