PS3HEN HOW TO BYPASS 4.90 FIRMWARE UPDATE AND GO ONLINE

[METUMAD]

The full error is :obtain IP address: succeeded internet connection: failed. " The connection to the server timed out(80028E01). I'm on 4.89 hwf and updated the webman to the latest version.when I restart and disable hen I can connect to the internet but this method somehow blocks my ps3 from connecting to the internet . Any ideas on how to fix this ?

for reference, you can just create the /dev_hdd0/ps3-updatelist.txt file, and paste the content:

What exactly is this updatelist.txt ? I mean what are being made here ? Does it trick the ps3 to look for a non existence website like www.xxxxx.xxx ?

It needs a real url in place of xxxx stuff AFAIK

The way it works that it redirects the update server to a non existing/local host server I think?
The latest version uses http://0/PS3UPDAT.PUP as a URL in place of the xxxxx.xxx


@esc0rtd3w out of curiosity, if I redirect the file into a local http server with HFW on it, will the PS3 accept it just fine? Also can't a similar approach be done to make a built in HFW updater or a similar thing? Sorry if this is annoying

apparently someone worked on a similar application before?
