Been trying to use this ps3addict/alternate: PS3HEN Alternate Installer
But no success. the exploit always fail to initialize. my ps3 has already been JB so i know its not a software issue.
What do we have while we wait for ps3exploit fix ??

i've been trying to use this, as i can host it myself : PS3HEN/html/hen_installer/offline_local/offline.zip at master · PS3Xploit/PS3HEN

But something make the PS3HEN.p3t to just be opened by the ps3 browser instead of download.....
anything ?

Made the offline installer working but seems like its not really offline because i guess the code inside PS3HEN.p3t go get download the "Latest_HEN_Installer_signed.pkg" but ps3 say fail to install instantly so i guess the file tries to get downloaded somwhere but there is nowhere to download rn im loosing my mind really

Don't even try! This offline installer is a joke! I've managed to make it working and u know what? After initiating the exploit it says welcome to hem 3.3.0, no icon no nothing! I've tried another method and also installs 3.3.0 icon and then u can't install it of course... 5 times installing 4.92.1 HFW and same shit! THESE DEVS ARE A COMPLETE JOKE!

you can use that to start hen but it tries to download plg from official site which is down.

put the pkg on usb as HEN_UPD.pkg and insert the usb into ps3. use the offline installer again and it should find pkg on usb and install.

Project is open source AFAIK. Please fork it and "fix" it then.

Thank you !! But still not working... It still tries hard to go get the pkg online rather than usb.... Tried editing the PS3HEN.p3t with HxD but couldn't see anything, same for the ps3hen_v100.js file. i don't read any download link or anything that i could edit....
 
hi, since the sites are down i was about to use private host method. But I don't find a mirrorlink for HFW 4.92.1 I only found 4.90.1 . I didn't tried but i doubt my 4.92 OFW will accept it. As well with flash writer. I don't really know if we just need to wait. It could be useful a tutorial for private host in these situation with everything we need in mirrorlink. Don't want to put a pressure on devs, they do so great

The latest offline installer doesn't install an icon at all. Welcome to hen 3.3.0 and that's it!!! Nothing works for 4.92, no proper tutorial for offline installation... Offline installer who tries to download from internet... HEN_UPD.pkg not working! I've tried another method of yours with only index.html and HEN.pkg! It installs hen 3.3.0 icon and after trying to download from internet or from local server - error 80023300! PEOPLE - don't waste your time, this shit is made not to work offline, or u need to be a developer to make it work! Just waiting for the site to be online again or some proper offline tutorial for 4.92! Peace!
 
I mean.. I almost got it to work, the ps3 hen repo on github has the offline files for me to host and it somehow almost work. My only problem is that it keeps trying to download the hen pkg file online instead of getting it from my usb. I've check the code of everything i have but couldn't find anything........ But we're almost there guys. And i'll be glad to temporarily host it for everyone if i get it to work.

I tried this (put HEN_UPD.pkg at the root of the same USB I used to install the HFW) but it still tries to download from the internet. When it tries to install the downloaded file it fails and reboots. Does it need to go into a folder on the USB? I'm self hosting the offline installer.

EDIT: Needs to go inside the PS3 folder. All working for me now!

Had the same issue, turned out that my Apache server sent the PS3HEN.p3t as text, not MIME-type. Try adding this line to Apache config file
AddType application/octet-stream .p3t

Also, it worked fine for me using Python's built in development server. If you have python extract the offline files into any empty folder, open it in a console, and run:
Code:
python -m http.server

Just make sure to kill it when done and definitely do not publicly expose it.
 
Where do I find/download this Latest_HEN_Installer_signed.pkg? Thanks.

The following link wored for me.

I repaired a not so close friend's PS3 Super Slim (4004a) (WiFi/Bluetooth not working – firmware update failed with 8002f1f9). I replaced the RT8057GQW (J7X) on the circuit board, which worked perfectly, and I also upgraded the console directly to (OFW) firmware 4.92. How can I now install HEN under the given circumstances? I can't make sense of the links and bits of information. Unfortunately, I have to return the console the day after tomorrow.

I am grateful for any help.
