(UPDATE) -- @lmn7 has released Auto HEN Installer for HFW 4.86. It is a SIMPLER method that doesnt require HAN installation first but can still be done OFFLINE. You can download it and read my new guide for it HERE).

(UPDATE) -- I have added instructions to setup kWS webser on android HERE.

(GUIDE) How to Install HEN Offline

Since the mirrored ps3xploit site hen installers don't seem to be working, I came up with a guide to help you install hen offline. I'm giving instructions for 4.86, but the procedure is the same for other firmares--you just need the right files. I installed hen on my superslim using this method. You will get some files from the site and host them yourself. You can use KWS for android as a webserver to host the files.

---INSTALL HFW---
First install hfw 4.86 (download here)
You should reinstall if you lost icons using mirrored site.

---GETTING HAN FILES---
1 goto ps3xploit website (link)
2 click v3 HAN Tools
3 click Download Release Files
the HAN zip file will be saved as ps3_tools-v3.0-HAN486_HFW_release_PS3XPloit.zip

---GETTING HEN FILES---
1 click PS3HEN
2 click 4.86 HFW
3 click Download Release Files
the HEN zip file will be saved as PS3HEN_3.0.1_4.86_FW.zip

---PREPARE FILES---
1 extract ps3_tools-v3.0-HAN486_HFW_release_PS3XPloit.zip to a new folder
2 extract han_supportfiles-485-486.zip to root of usb
3 go under html folder
4 change han_instller.html filename to index.html
5 copy index.html and ps3xploit_v303.js files to root folder of webserver

6 extract PS3HEN_3.0.1_4.86_FW.zip to a different new folder
7 copy Latest_HEN_Installer_3.0.1_signed-486C.pkg to root of usb
8 go under html folder
9 copy han_flash_mount_rewrite.html to root of webserver

---INSTALL HAN---
1 put usb in ps3 (use port closest to disc drive)
2 turn on ps3
3 connect ps3 and webserver to same network and start webserver (if using kws then connect phone to the wifi that ps3 is connected to)
4 open browser
5 enter webserver address (kws will tell you the address)
6 set as homepage
7 clear cookies, cashe, and everything else
8 make sure "confirm browser close" is off
9 exit browser
10 open broswer (it should load han installer)
11 click initialize
12 when its ready click the launch button.
ps3 will restart. if you see package manager then han installed correctly (if not restart ps3 and open browser to retry)

---INSTALL HEN---
1 delete index.html and ps3xploit_v303.js files from webserver root
2 change han_flash_mount_rewrite.html filename to index.html
3 open ps3 browser
4 it should say "Enabling HAN & Mounting Flash as /dev_rewrite" and exit on its on (if it fails, restart ps3 and try again)
5 installl Latest_HEN_Installer_3.0.1_signed-486C.pkg from package manager
6 shutdown ps3
7 start ps3 and enable hen from the icon.if you do not see enable hen icon when you start ps3, turn off "Display [What's New]" in system settings.

This is an offline version of a procedure described in the Great PS3HEN AIO guide by @Fin9ersMcGee

It is the same as Part Two 1.B HEN Installation Method 2 but without using the website during installation. After downloading the files, internet is no longer needed (not even to enable hen).

yeah i use it for http/ftp servers on pc. i recommend kws for this because its small and easy.
 
on the phone? I have that too. though, I use the sandisk connect with the ps4. it's awesome. like $10 for 8GBs.
 
1 goto website

Any chance for some kind of a link?
If regular link have a problem what about also add mirror?
E.g. Regular: Http://**ps3xploit.com >Domain no Longer owned by team** (ps3xploit.me =new)/, mirror: http://nopsn.com/mirror/**ps3xploit.com >Domain no Longer owned by team** (ps3xploit.me =new)/.

Added both. Thanks!

The **ps3xploit.com >Domain no Longer owned by team** (ps3xploit.me =new) address should redirect to the mirror now.
 
Theoretically you can also add the same link into:
---GETTING HEN FILES---
1 go to website (or mirror)
2 click PS3HEN
3 click 4.86 HFW
4 click Download Release Files
the HEN zip file will be saved as PS3HEN_3.0.1_4.86_FW.zip

Best regards & thanks for quick tutorial.
 
might want to write up a tutorial on using sandisk connect, I mean me. for the ps4, since it updates automatically even if that setting is set to off. atreyu told me his updated by itself. he has an American ps4. I have a Japanese one, and mine does the same thing. it will download the update automatically. there is that payload to block it, but I prefer to be completely offline.

They were in there but I made it clearer now.
 
Where can i get the PS3HEN now? Seems like everything is offline. Can someone help me?
the site was down but it has been mirrored now. the hen installers are not working correctly from the mirror. the links in the guide above are working right now.

the pkg file is a bad copy. extract it from the zip to usb again overwriting the old file. try to install again. if you have restarted ps3 already then load the webpage that says "Enabling HAN & Mounting Flash as /dev_rewrite" again and then try installing.
 
Wooooooooooooooow!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This guide worked like a magic. I used miniweb as my web server. I modified it a bit & all worked well. Hen is finally installed once again on my console. Big ups bro for your contribution in times like this. Thanks for sharing.

Ok thanks, i will try it later the day. :-)
 
looks like the mirrored installer/enabler may be working now. i cant test it but the link appears to be fixed and the pt3 file is downloadable. the alternative installer isnt there right now. i dont know what is happening with it.
