(OLD 4.86) Auto HEN Installer & OFFLINE Guide

Not open for further replies.
Hi.
For auto installer.
no i don't think it will happen.

but you can download hen 3.0.0 for 4.82 and follow the offline guide in this other thread (its for 4.86 but the method is the same just use the 4.82 files instead).

hen is no longer officially supported on 4.82 but the link above works (its not the newest hen but is newer than last released).
 
@Coro @lmn7
I want to flash this exploit on my ESP but the .p3t file is very heavy, how to build it in my esp or there is an alternative to have the file on my USB ?
You could have the file on your USB but it kind of defeats the point of the installer, which is that it should be simple and convenient without requiring any hardware or other tools. Anyway, to load the file from USB just change the base_file variable in index.html to the path of the file on your USB. So for example:

base_file="/dev_hdd0/theme/HEN.P3T" to base_file="/dev_usb000/HEN.P3T" (right USB slot)

Keep in mind the installer was built to download and install from the P3T on the web server and because of this it waits for the download to finish before installing. To circumvent that, move the mouse cursor when you see the download message and the installation should trigger.

Thanks a lot :)
 
Didn't know we can find older version of hen this way! been searching for a while now
Which version of hen is considered most stable for fw 4.84 & 4.85?
the newest version (3.0.1) is compatable with 4.84-4.86.

Tested and working. Thanks very much :)
 
Update: download removed because 3.02 update is released.

@lmn7 has updated his Auto HEN Installer for use with HFW 4.87 (note: currently using the 3.0.1 BIN file from 4.86). The release zip is below but be sure to read OP of this thread for full instructions and special notes. This can also be hosted online. Enjoy!

Thanks again to @lmn7 for this release!!! Also thanks to @Joonie for HFW 4.87 release, and of course Team PS3Xploit for HEN itself!

UPDATE (Dec 5, 2020): See this post for updated files for 4.87!

Thanks to @lmn7 for releasing his Auto HEN Installer to the community!

It allows you to easily install HEN completely OFFLINE. You do NOT need to install HAN first. It can also be hosted online (if you have your own website of course).

To help you use it, I (@Coro) have written the following guide for offline installation. Please post your questions in this thread and I will try to help you out (I'm sure others will too).

Auto HEN Installer will install HEN 3.0.1 onto your PS3 running HFW 4.86. All the files needed are included in the zip file at the end of this post. It can be hosted from your android phone using kWS webserver or from your PC using XAMPP. Other webservers (like MiniWeb) should work too but I only tested kWS and XAMPP (For help setting up kWS, see the second post in this thread).

IMPORTANT NOTES:
  • You must be on Hybrid Firmware (HFW) 4.86 to use this installer. If you are NOT on HFW 4.86, install it before using this installer.
  • You do NOT need to install Official Firmware (OFW). HEN and the auto installer need HFW to work.
  • You only need to install HFW one time.
  • If you tried to use any HEN installer on **ps3xploit.com >Domain no Longer owned by team** (ps3xploit.me =new) (or the mirror) recently and lost icons on xmb, you should reinstall HFW before using this installer.
  • PS3HEN.BIN file will be installed to the hard drive instead of flash. This is necessary to make the script work. It should NOT cause any issues (UPDATE - HEN Toolbox release notes say "PS3HEN.BIN needs to be on flash for the included enabler to work"). If you would prefer to have PS3HEN.BIN installed to flash, follow the OPTIONAL section of this tutorial below after using the Auto HEN Installer.
  • If your PS3 is connected to the internet and finds a (future) update for HEN, the update will switch PS3HEN.BIN from hard drive to flash. It should update and work normally without issues.
  • To host the P3T file on usb instead of on the webserver, see this post by @lmn7.

-----USAGE GUIDE-----

Part 1 -- GETTING AND PREPARING THE FILES:
  • Download the zip file at the end of this post. md5 F46040DA3DAF2F97FF8DAA49AC2DBD07
  • If you need HFW 4.86, download it from HERE. md5 BBD0ED644AA2EF89D34AB3CC2C06DD0D
  • Extract the files from zip file and copy them into your webserver's home directory. There should be three files. Do NOT rename them.
Part 2 -- RUNNING INSTALLER:
  1. Connect your phone/PC to the same network as your PS3.
  2. Start your webserver and note the IP address and port number.
  3. Turn on PS3.
  4. Open browser.
  5. Enter IP addres and port number seperated by a colon.
  6. When the webpage loads it will start to download a file named HEN.P3T (If the download doesn't start, follow this post by @lmn7 & skip step 7).
  7. When it says "Download completed" press CIRCLE.
  8. It will say "Installing HEN" and should reboot in a few seconds.
  9. After PS3 reboots, press X on Enable HEN icon. If you see "Welsome to PS3HEN" then you are done!

(OPTIONAL--YOU MAY NOT HAVE TO DO THIS)
ONLY do this part if you want to have PS3HEN.BIN installed to flash instead of hard drive or want to use HEN Toolbox. Again, it should NOT cause any issues (except for HEN Toolbox).

First use Auto HEN Installer as detailed above and then, after reboot, enable HEN and use Package Manager to install the full HEN package file for 4.86 from usb (Download HERE from ps3xploit website). (UPDATE: for 4.87 you must also install pkg from this post after installing full 486 HEN pkg to make the "Enable HEN" icon work correctly)

Coro can I run the extracted zip file from a hard drive instead of the webserver as requested...can you put me through how to run it from my hard drive, I don't really understand the webserver part
 
weird getting an error each time it attempts to auto download.
this what it says, "An error occurred during the download operation. (80711008)"..

if you are hosting it online, your provider may not be able to serve the p3t file correctly.

for a work around, see @lmn7's last post above.
 
hen for 4.87 isn't available yet. we are using 4.86 hen files on 4.87.

click on "PS3HEN" then "HEN Installer/Enabler".

I have done that, it keeps showing HEN Failure! Restart PS3 and retry!...when I initialize hen, it's successful but when installing hen that's when it says this "HEN Failure! Restart PS3 and retry!"

try the alternative installer (the one right below the first one).
