PS3 4.86 OFW Released + 4.86 Custom Firmware / PS3HEN / Apps / Tools Updates

I can't remember the one I was before the update but probably it was from one released in 2016 (probably 4.81 - https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3_system_software). Last time before I tried to update to 4.86, I played offline.
Local repair shops aren't working cause covid-19 and tried to search this service online. Most of repairs are asking $60 for the repair (not worth, I guess :-/)
goto where it says sytem update and scroll down to system settings. enter that menu and go down to system information (i think it is next to last one). the system version is told there.

if you have newer update maybe you can still run hen.

Sorry, forgot to say that I'm stuck at 8002f1f9 loop. Can't access XMB anymore. On recovery mode, it says I have to insert a USB with at least 4.81 OFW. So, I guess it's 4.81 that was running. I tried formating HDD (I don't care about downloaded games/content/savegames) and running any other OFW or even MFW. Tried to do myself a 4.81 to 4.85 MFW with noBT only and no success at all (I guess the keys are not working or CECH-3004B can't run it. I really don't know if it's really needed to downgrade to 3.55 or bellow to install any MFW. So well, tried most of solutions found on many youtube videos or forums.

your model cant use cfw/mfw. some users can update with bad bt but some can not. i guess it depends on how broken it is.

i would try 4.86 HFW to be sure (you want hfw not ofw because hfw needed for HEN exploit).

also i think that error may sometimes be hard drive. if you have another (with nothing on it because it will format) you might try that too.

the bt should be easy to fix...if you can get a new part.

I will try both. Thanks for your help!
 
if the drive is just missing? yes!

you need hfw if you want to install hen.

i have a slim with no drive and i installed ofw and hfw several times the other day with no problem.
Thanks for the answer & one more, can i install OFW over the HFW , example I'm on the HFW 4.86.1 and i want to install OFW 4.86 ? its that no problem ?

yes, you can install ofw over hfw.

BUT hen needs hfw to work.

if you do NOT want hen...ofw is ok.
 
My CECH-4004A is updated to OFW 4.86, i can't setup HFW 4.86 on it, it shows "no update found".
There's a tuto for this problem?

thanks
 
Hey guys!
I have to say that I'm not an expert with game consoles, never had one before. I have ordered and am waiting to be delivered PS3 Slim CECH-2004A, 9C.

I have checked if it can be jailbroken, and some tool says that it can. However, the owner said it has 4.86 software in it. (It's not clear to me whether 4.86 software also means firmware or not, usually in PC world firmware and software are different. So my apologies if I misunderstand something.)

I have spend past few days reading online resources regarding JB of PS3, but still have questions.
So my ultimate goal is to be able to play downloaded games on it, I don't need internet/online access with it at all. I don't need and don't want to use any account on it. Just put the game into HDD and play it (at least that's how I imagine how it works).

What options do I have? Can I JailBreak it, or "only" make it HEN-abled? I also read somewhere that HEN is "less persistent then JailBreak", so do I need to make it HEN every time I turn it on or what?

After I JailBreak or HEN-able it - do I have to keep updating it or can I just happily use it for the next 20 years without ever updating any firmware/software/JB/HEN/etc...?

I hope I'm not asking too much, it's just that I have nave had any console (except old times with Ziliton and Sega) and I have no expertise in JB'ing them.

Cheers!
Hi I hope I'm being polite and not too annoying. Could someone try to answer at least some of my questions (ABOVE ^^)? There are some things not clear to me.
 
What are these meant to be for...? No description or instructions, just DL links..... not suspect at all....

Some backup managers like forks of Iris Manager use patched libfs and explore_plugin to improve the game compatibility (i.e. black screens) when the manager is used without Cobra/Mamba/PS3HEN payload. It was the original method for "BDEMU".

These files (do not rename) can be placed in /dev_hdd0/game/IRISMAN00

However they are not longer needed because Cobra/Mamba/PS3HEN already apply the patches for BDEMU directly in LV2 memory.

This will details things that have been updated for 4.86 Support in the following catagories. Note some things like homebrew do not need updates for support (some do or just need minor cosmetic adjustments) and only those that do need updates will be listed in the categories below.​



d Updated Note about 4.86 OFW Released on March 30. Like previous updates of recent there has been kernel changes and no exploits patched, Just homebrew and exploits need to make small maintenance updates to support 4.86. Below i merged @naked_Snakes1995 thread announcing 4.86 was Live to keep all info here in one thread.​



Play Manager v1.12

- Añadido soporte para los siguientes CFW: 4.82 DEX, 4.83 CEX, 4.84 CEX/DEX, 4.85 CEX, 4.86 CEX

-- Basado en Iris Manager versión 2.93 como siempre.
-- Añadido soporte para nuevos firmwares : 4.86 CEX.
-- Añadido soporte al control fan para los CFW citados.
-- Arreglado los microcortes de audio cuando se usa el modo payload del control fan.
--Se cambiaron algunos iconos para ajustarlos mejor al entorno del programa

http://www.mediafire.com/file/ivyxk18ny ... 6.pkg/file

Se instala todo directo al directorio del manager, siempre pueden copiar lo que quieran con el metodo "usb/iris" pero es mas facil desde un pkg, asi se instala manager y los add ons al momento de actualizar sin royos de usb con carpetas.
