PS3HEN New PS3 Firmware update 4.87

HEN consoles can not downgrade. Do not update next time until you are sure the new FW is hackable, and next time you should wait until the new HEN has been released. This might take a week or 2 as new HEN has to be built, and then tested.

*By "HEN consoles" I mean consoles that can not install CFW.

Much obliged bro thanks for the information.
 
thumbs up to all the developer and the members for trying to put things together for us. And a big thumbs up to @habib for giving us a heads up on how to handle our Psn Properly. And I hope there will be something from the ps3xploit team for us to celebrate the Christmas or new year and as for me I will be waiting patiently for all the remaining releases to be confirmed before doing anything.


yeah bro that's true
 
Lol you want believe what just happened, I was about to jailbreak a console of a friend of mine which was on 4.84. So I was having a problem by updating it through USB, that's when I decided to use internet . After connecting to WiFi saw it saying version 4.87 its available, I just went for it .Later I realized that Hen is taking so long after I got the stage of initializing, then I started googling to see what's wrong. Then I saw alot of people talking about HFW 4.87 that it shouldn't updated yet, but to me was too late cos I already done it before confirming. And by that time I updated mine too which was on 4.86, so am stuck all my games are in there but I can't play anymore cz there's no HEN. That's why am asking for help saying "it is possible to go back to 4.86 or I should just wait for 4.87 version of hen to come out?"

even I already said that you are impatient

The hen system is not available there, if the firmware does not mean it can be run as desired

let's see our developer releases it directly to the public and see the results

I'm proud, even though I don't know yet, at least we have the knowledge that we get

If you stick with 4.87 just stay there and wait for hen xploit for the release


I'm not an expert in the field of systems

however, the developers here can help you solve the problems you are facing

currently hosting the hen with the modifications i did in zecoxao.github.io. you still need to port the part of the package installer since i was lucky that i had webman already installed.
edit: you can also submit your changes to the github. but i'd still wait for the main devs!
Hello. Does this means that I can install HEN on HFW4.87.1 by accessing this website instead of the official one. I'm already on HEN, previous HFW firmware. No rush for updating either. Just curios.

It only means you can run HEN on it. you still need the package installer entry. once you have that it should work normally
 
Emails and passwords that have already been hacked are being crossed referenced on psn with bots,
this is ONE of the ways (maybe THE way) they are getting in, which is why changing your email is paramount.

Not sure why changing your email is paramount, this implies that just the email alone is enough to get into your account. The way I see it, if you change your password, they do not have enough info to sign in.

At the end of the day people need to give their email to other people in order to receive emails, create accounts etc.

Thanks for that information, this is more of a server side issue than anything else. With some research you can find that habib wrote and sold a tool used for mass checking email and password lists for PSN accounts, which is likely what he's hinting at here. The PS3 is relevant because it looks like he used the certs from dev_flash in the tool. Tbh, he probably only reported it to Sony because his tool's licensing system was cracked.

Ps3hen 3.0.1 working pretty good so far on 4.87 hfw. Gonna be great when it's official.
Pretty much nothing significant looks to be changed from 4.86 > 4.87. I doubt anything actually needs to be ported over, probably just the version strings in the scripts that need changing.

That's pretty much all I did. Duplicated 4.86 entries in Java script and changed the version to 4.87. Hen then installed from offline installer and I ran managunz to extract the original hen package. Getting hen enabler working after that was a quick category_game.xml edit where at the bottom it says fwv=4.86 to 4.87. after that everything functions properly.
 
If playstation actually communicated more with its consumers/users regarding important matters such as future changes, current issues that are arising, and compensating its consumers/users that have been affected for any of their mistakes/F%$#-ups would be a good way of starting a good path for their company/business. I know for a fact that this would be impossible for them since they always like to be secretive when it comes to issues which leads to doing things without thinking and this is where problems arrives.

do you have the modified category_game.xml?
edit: figured it out

The Auto HEN Installer has been updated by @lmn7 to support 4.87. Get the files here and be sure to see the OP of that thread for instructions and special notes!

EDIT:
you don't need the pkg from my above post for this. it will install a working 'Enable HEN" icon on its own.
