4.91.1 HFW (Hybrid FirmWare)

PS3 PS3 Firmware 4.91 - Update is Live! HFW and CFW AVAILABLE! -

This issue seems pretty random, i couldn't find any reason for this, @Mello_1993 made a video about the 4.91 and many users are reporting the error and many are not... so it's really strange
my issue was i loaded a game and it asked to update after the update my jb was bricked and i had to install 4.91 i have older ps3 that should be downgradeable but it wont even let me downgrade it with a clean hdd installed it still insists the 4.91 firm/software
 
Hey man, when the HFW is released, will there be a way to install it via FTP in any way because I don't have access to a USB drive. Take for instance, the update is already downloaded onto the PS3, can it be installed? It's possible with CFW but I don't know about HFW and I'm in HFW. Thank you.

That's not how it works. In order to install HFW via System Update -> From Internet option, you must setup a webserver, DNS, proxy, etc. in order to "trick" the PS3 into thinking it's connecting to Sony's servers.

If you don't have USB at hand, you can burn a CD-R with the HFW PUP, with the same folder structure as USB update.
 
luckily, I didn't have that error mentioned. I've always been on ofw though, if that makes a difference. also, I saw somewhere that you needed to be on ps plus to update automatically. that's not true. the ps plus requirement shows its icon next to options that require it. I think cloud saving and possibly automatically syncing trophies is among them. updating is not. you have to select a time frame, kinda like windows with its active hours, to update automatically. if it's not set, it won't update, so you have nothing to worry about. the updates are in two hour increments. the system will turn on during that time to sync, download, update, etc. stuff. it must be set beforehand. that's how I have mine set, 8:00-10:00 p.m. or the time I'd be the least likely to be on the system. you can press circle iirc to prevent the system from shutting off afterwards, if say you were on the system at the time or something, I think.

I don't have a CD-ROM at hand also. If you have the chance, could you give me a quick rundown of the things to do and the internet settings to change?
 
So I got on PS3 expecting to not be able to sign in to online, but I was online, no hfw update, no bypass install just regular old hfw 4.90 HEN 3.2.2. I have webman installed but it's not a newer version.
I'm not the only one either, atleast 5 others are able to sign in too without update/bypass.
 
عندي مشكلة عندما أدخل على أي برنامج يختفي HEN

I have a problem when I enter any program, HEN disappears

The HEN enabler disappears because it is already enabled, there is no point having it once enabled
 
وعندما يختفي أدخل على أي برنامج يعطيني (80010017)

When it disappears, I enter any program that gives me (80010017)
 
ما هذا لا أعرف

What this is I don't know
Syscalls are things used by Homebrew(PLEASE bear in mind i know very little) when you wanna go online you MUST disable syscalls or Sony will detect them, with webMan Mod press triangle and R2 until a notification appears.
