PS3HEN PS3HEN - F.A.Q.

[pinky]

content won't be erased by installing hfw, ofw, or even cfw.

 

[DeViL303]

I have a question... I still have my PS3 on 4.82 running HAN. I've watched multiple videos explaining how to install it and all of them say that you need to install official firmware first and then install the HFW. If I install OFW will it erase all of the stuff I've downloaded? I've got some SNES and GBA games and I'm scared they'll be deleted.

They wont be deleted.

You can try out HEN quite easily on 4.82 if you want, just run this exploit to enable dev_rewrite:

http://**ps3xploit.com >Domain no Longer owned by team** (ps3xploit.me =new)/hen/rewrite/ (set it as ps3 homepage)

Then install this package = DOWNLOAD

I have one more question, when I download the HEN 4.84 hack, can I just install it over my HAN 4.82 or do I have to install OFW 4.84 first and then HEN 4.84?

If you want to use a 4.84 HEN pkg then you need to be on 4.84 HFW.

The HEN pkg I linked to is for 4.82.

So could I just install 4.84 HFW on top of my HAN and then install HEN?

Yes.

 

[deezeewhytea]

Yes.

Alright, thanks!

 

[deezeewhytea]

Yes.

I'm sorry but I'm just going to clarify for the last time.. Can I update to 4.84 HFW when I'm still on 4.82 running HAN?
If not, do I still have to update to OFW and then install HFW?

Install HFW 4.84.2 there is no reason to install 4.84 and install HEN via **ps3xploit.com >Domain no Longer owned by team** (ps3xploit.me =new) and choose the auto installer. Once that is done read over this to ensure you have it setup to have the optimized setup.

... sorry i misread 4.84.2 as 4.82

 

[deezeewhytea]

Ok so I installed 4.84.2 but my games are just code??? It's random bits of letters and numbers.. How do I restore them??

Can you snap a pic of what you mean? As I'm not sure what you are asking. Just a quick pick the how the PS3 is showing code.

Install HEN if you have not done it already, then rebuild the database in the recovery menu.

How do I rebuild the database?

 

[DeViL303]

How do I rebuild the database?

Use the recovery menu aka safe mode, option 4.

Alright, I'm trying to dump my act.dat and idps but it tells me that it failed

 

[deezeewhytea]

It also fails when I try to install HAN..

You should install HEN, not HAN.

Also no need to be dumping act.dat and idps, that is only needed on HAN.

So all my HAN stuff will still work on HEN?
