PS3 OFW with Games installed by HAN

[Near]

Hello, a few days ago I created a post here about putting injection games through Backup, so that the console is not modified.

I ended up giving up on that decision because it would actually be a very labor intensive process and I have no idea if it would work on 4.88.

I have a PS3 Super Slim here... the owner asked me not to unlock it but to put the games in an "official" way. As it is super slim, access to CFW for a downgrade would be impossible.

So I thought of a solution and wanted to know how it would work.
If I take this Super Slim, put a HAN and install VIA PKG games from a USB stick and then unlock it, would the games stay securely in the video game? Would it look the same if I had injected the games? Or the game installation mode by PKG (including the license) could give some problem or higher risk of banning, if I was using game injection method? (which is for sure the safest way)

As I'm not very familiar with the PS3 Han, how do I remove this unlock without leaving "trace"?

Because from what I understand HAN uses the OFW itself while HEN uses HFW, how would I remove this unlock and leave only the games as if the PS3 had never been unlocked?

HFW is still 100% an official firmware. Only the plugin was changed so they just use it from 4.82 as otherwise it is essentially the same. And even with HAN games you still have to enable HAN to launch them. The only way your going to install games this way is installing right from PSN. And since we do not help with piracy this should not be an issue as I assume the games your trying to install are legit. Any way other then installing from PSN can be detected. There is no way around this.

1. The HAN Tools patches are memory based only, they must be reapplied after each boot so you don't need to remove anything yourself, just reboot & any applied HAN patches are fully gone.

2. OFW & HFW is basically the same thing & they both contain only official files, no custom files, no hacks.
HFW 4.88 is a OFW 4.88 PUP repacked with one sprx file swapped with a OFW 4.82 version.

3. HAN resigned games require HAN patches to run. If you install HAN games, you will have to apply HAN patches in memory every time you wish to play them.

4. I have already given you much details about HAN in previous posts, I explained for instance that you must customise a few system files in order to get a pkg manager entry on XMB otherwise you could not install any pkg. Once the pkg are all installed, you can restore the original files manually or simply reinstall OFW/HFW to get rid of any trace.

5. Check the HAN all in one tutorial thread in this forum, everything you need to know is explained there.

6. Tbph, even after all your posts, I still don't fully understand what you are doing, it looks to me like you are trying to fill someone else's console with games.
A word of warning though, that kind of practice is linked to piracy in the majority of cases, whether you own the games or not, you cannot legally deploy them on other people's consoles if they don't.
I must remind you that piracy conversations are not tolerated according to forum rules, any breach of those rules would guarantee that you get banned.

When you said that all games need a HAN activation to be played, I was referring to using HAN only for the use of the Package Manager, With the installation of PKG games, which don't need a HAN activation to work , just like installing a PKG game on a CFW.

I'll read more about HAN's topic here.

In that case you do not use the HAN signing at all, not for game files, not for the pkg, you just pack your game files into a standard debug pkg with any pkg tool like Trueancestor or Aldo's PS3 Tools collection on PC & use the Debug pkg Enabler on HFW (or manually apply the 2 tiny debug pkg patches I posted earlier today, using the PS3 Toolset on OFW) to allow the pkg installation.

And of course you need to swap the system files temporarily to get the pkg manager on XMB, you can use the HAN installer on HFW or swap the handful of files manually in /dev_flash (mounted as /dev_blind) if you have some means to do that.
Restore the original system files when you are done installing pkg, you can do that manually or simply reinstall OFW/HFW from recovery mode to overwrite the swapped files.

But quite frankly, using HEN on HFW gives you access to backup managers, ftp, pkg manager etc.. Anything you need to deploy game & license files.
Once the games are deployed, if you clean history, remove any installed homebrew, remove HEN by installing OFW from recovery when you are done, it should not make any difference how the games were installed, the outcome should be the same as with the debug pkg enabler method or the old official backup injection method.
