Okay, this might seem annoying, but when I use my ps3 with PS3HEN (Followed MrMario2011's guide) hen never enables, on the off chance it does enable its either webMAN mod or package manager (not both) and homebrew effectively does not work. I tried swapping out the hdd but it still is buggy. thank you.
 
More information is needed: console model, FW installed, HEN version installed, context and behaviour before and after executing HEN, etc.

Console model is Super Slim (4xx2A), FW is 4.92, HEN Version is 3.4.0, I installed Hen a while ago, uninstalled it and it became bugged, I already explained what happens if it does activate but sometimes it freezes.
 
This same issue or similar is happening to me, I do have a super slim (CECH-4011B) and i had to revert back to OFW and reinstall HFW 4.92.1 but it still ended up not working after a while. This happened after a while of me using it normally but i did notice issues booting into multiMAN or some games and had to hard restart the console. Now it only loads from the browser and webMAN does not boot and occasionally other programs just crash the console.

Any help with this?

Update: I reset my console turning it off and cutting the power for 30s (not sure if it helps or not but just to be sure), then I disabled Media Server Connection and Internet Connection and it booted fine.
 
reinstall hfw then hen. don't install any xmb mods, toolboxes, or stores! they will mess up the enable hen icon. get hen working and test it for a while...then install any add-ons one by one untill you find the problem.

That model has an integrated 16 GB eMMC flash drive, which is a bit more complicated to work with if your jailbreak goes wrong.

Replacing or formatting the HDD will do nothing if the console uses the flash drive.

You should try removing the HDD, do a full factory reset from the System Recovery menu (follow the video tutorial).


After your console is clean, reinstall OFW TWICE. Once you've checked that everything is working properly, put back your HDD (clean and formatted as well) and reinstall HFW TWICE (for consistency).

Finally, you should be able to install HEN as usual from ps3xploit.me website.

I removed the HDD, and got into Recovery Mode, however it only had options 1 and 1a. I used 1a to swap it to eMMC. was that correct?

Also how do I confirm that everything is working correctly (e.g. what criteria)

I have reinstalled hen after doing all the steps that @GuilloteTesla recommended, however it still does not activate hen.
