UPDATE 1 (OCT. 11 2018) - With the release of OFW 4.83 portions of PS3Xploit have been patched, The team is looking at workarounds, STAY ON 4.82, DO NOT UPDATE TO 4.83 AT THIS TIME:

UPDATE 2 (MARCH -2019) HFW (Hybrid Firmware) Released - Allows for PS3Xploit Tools / Hacks (including HAN) to work for 4.84 (OFW) OFFICIAL FIRMWARE (See Here) Also the HAN Exploit was updated to v3.01 for 4.84 HFW support

dThe PS3Xploit Team has done it yet once again with an incredible breakthrough that has now just gone LIVE for everyone and as the recent teaser recently suggested it's for those later Slim & SuperSlim models who are not capable of using CFW (aka NoN CFW Compatible Models). While not a HEN (Homebrew Enabler) it's a volatile dose of "HAN" (short for etHANol). This version of the hack has evolved to offer something to every PS3 model now. All existing models will now have the ability to get PS3 games backup pkg installation and PS1/PS2/PSP emulators support among other features as outlined by developer bguerville who is going to take from here with this introduction of PS3Xploit v3.0 -- Codenamed: "HAN"

  • PS3Xploit Team is pleased to announce the official release of the PS3Xploit Tools v3.0 project nicknamed 'HAN'.

    PS3Xploit Tools v3.0 is a suite of 6 tools supporting both official firmware versions 4.81 & 4.82. The only pre-requirement to use HAN is to have an activated PSN user account.
    It's recommend not to use your main PSN account but rather a spare one.
    Users should create a new secondary user account on the PS3 then activate a new PSN account in it.
    This secondary ps3 account should be used to perform all the pkg installations. Then for regular gaming, use the primary user account.

    The principle behind HAN is quite simple, due to a vulnerability in the way npdrm content is managed, it is possible to resign game related files with custom keys, patch vsh & install resigned pkg from XMB.

    The first tool, on the PC side, ps3xploit_rifgen_edatresign.exe should be used to generate rif files and create new signed_act.dat. You should place the act.dat/idps.hex, previously dumped with HAN ACT/IDPS Dumper, in the resigner directory and drag matching rap file for your game onto the executable file. Then rename the new "signed_act.dat" to "act.dat" and place it on USB drive along with the new rif file. The files are now ready to be pushed to the PS3 using the HAN ACT/RIF Copier.

    ** It is recommended to resign all the pkgs that require Han enabler with this tool**
    ** Packages which are converts and packages which needs rif activation **
    **
    keep original act.dat in a safe place **

    On the PS3 side, the other 5 ps3xploit tools are:
    1. HAN Installer - Copies necessary system files to PS3 to run HAN.
    2. HAN Enabler - Enables the HAN patches
    3. HAN ACT/IDPS Dumper - Dumps current user profile user act.dat & PS3 IDPS to USB.
    4.
    HAN ACT/RIF Copier - Copies the resigned act.dat & generated rif file from USB to the current user profile.
    5. HAN Debug PKG Enabler - Provided optionally for users wishing to install debug pkg. Note that if you run this patch you will not be able to install any pkg resigned with the ps3xploit resigner for HAN anymore until you reboot!

    The 'HAN' project is solely relying on userland exploitation to provide digital backups support for the majority of PS3 Games as well as PS1/PS2/PSP Emulators (within the ps3 firmware) and the ability to install PKG files from USB. PS3 PKG Game backups need to be prepared using TABR like technique and only ps3 games having an available "game update" are supported.
    PKG files are installed from the Games XMB column, using a version of the Rebug Package Manager tweaked for this project. On USB of course, the FAT32 limitation of 4Gb is still in effect, it's a partition type limitation, nothing we can do about that. However workarounds using a local server can be used to remedy the situation if required.
    Important:
    To get best results initializing the exploit, remember to load the pages directly from a clean browser session. Never browse to an exploit page from other pages & never use a homepage other than blank or the exploit page you wish to use.
    We recommend to:
    1. Go to the ps3 browser homepage option & choose blank homepage.
    2. Create favourites to HAN Enabler & the other HAN pages you wish to use.
    3. Restart the browser.
    4. Use the favourites to access any page from complete scratch.
    5. Reload the browser between exploits.

What do you mean reboot? Console reboot?
FYI
The Debug pkg Enabler should NOT be used if you are resigning the pkg files using the ps3xploit resigner PC app.
The ps3xploit resigner app produces retail pkg files using custom encryption keys, not debug pkg.
The Debug pkg Enabler tool is provided only for convenience, so people can also install debug pkg files made with other available tools but strictly speaking, it's not at all required in order to use HAN.

As to the reboot question I am not sure what else it could mean beside rebooting the console ie restarting the console.

BTW, thanks for this, brother. Thanks a million.

The answer is very simple.

FOR HAN :
1) Make a secondary PSN account.
2) Go to ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT, then ACTIVATE PS3, the GAME, the OK.
3) Enable HAN. Play your backups.

FOR ONLINE PLAY :

1) Restart your PS3.
2) Switch back to your main account.
3) Enjoy you online games. Woo!

The instructions explain that you should open a secondary ps3 user account with a spare psn account to do all the HAN installations.
Then use your primary ps3 user account to play. In your primary account, the psn profile will still be your main psn account & can be used to play online.

Note that s#ny could change its PSN server code to attempt to detect HAN so use HAN online at you own risk.

How to delete installe rip file
 
So should I do the trick with PS3 Proxy server to log into psn from 4.81 or should I just update to 4.82? I want to give it a try but habib said a while ago to stay on 4.81, but for as far as I know you have to be on 4.82 to create a new psn account and log in etc.

Read post #651.
 
How to delete miss installed rip file plz tell me
Imo the most convenient way to delete files in the user file profile folder would currently be to attempt using the file explorer feature found in xmbm+ & other xmb mods.
It requires modding the category_game.xml to be installed using the HAN installer.
Modding category_game.xml goes however beyond the scope of this thread, I suggest you create your own in order to get help & guidance with this xml mod if you require any.

You could also use the PETT tutorial delete file feature however you first need to determine the path of the exdata folder in which the rif file is installed for the current user ie /dev_hdd0/home/xxxxxxxx/exdata where xxxxxxxx is a number that was allocated by the system at user creation time.

But xmbm+ works in cfw and xxxxxxxx how to know system created name so it is impossible to delete or we can delete the user account to get rip file delete?

The reason people sudjest staying at 4.81 instead of updating to 4.82 is due to a possible kernel exploit or downgrade that would allow cfw,but the odds of it happening are still very low since ps3 3000's and ss have the above 3.55 curse.

Sorry but those are not exactly the reasons. You should read post #651 too.
1. Any kernel exploit working on 4.81 would work on 4.82 as the 2 kernels are identical.
2. Any downgrade feature (if ever that was necessary) would also work the same on 4.81 & 4.82.
3. CFW per se will not happen even if/when lv1 & lv2 are exploited, it requires more than that to get cfw. You could eventually get most if not all cfw features but cfw caps would be applied at runtime, not on boot.

DEX vsh could help get certain features working on ofw in further userland exploitation but I doubt it will be the key to lv2 exploitation.

Need to find better sources for your info :)
You just got the best reply above possible ^^
 
People should still buy their games. So you know any kind of piracy discussion is against the forum rules and.
Other that that one line that was a really nice post and I think the guys need to hear more things like that.
Yeah i know people should still buy their own games and use this as their backup if tyey lose/scrach the disc. I just said that some people literally cannot afford games, and their consoles go to waste. I didn't mean anything else. And i agree with you that the awesome devs need to hear more things like this :) . And sorry if i'm mistaken,but you're the dev of the new webserver install method, right? The han toolbox one. Thank you too for your awesome work for the community :) . You have no idea how much this means to some people. Keep it up,bro :).
 
Did you really tried to install a CFW? Didnt you read the infos and changelog and warning?
Thanks so much for your reply... I didn't do anything out of the instructions as i said i just put the han support files on a usb(that i think it caused the problem) and got to the han installer page initialiased then i pressed install it went black,rebooted,corrupted data...,reboot again and it said that the system can't boot and it needs an update package...but i got it working again i may try installing han again..
THANKS :)
 
Okay! I just installed Crysis HD (3.5GB) and I can confirm that this method works on that too. Great job devs.

Now, day after tommorow, I will report back on the webserver method (after I learn it) and then try it on Assassins Creed Black Flag (10GB or something).

ON A SIDE NOTE : The resigner by habib is crazy fast. Great job man. I just signed a 3.5 BG Crysis HD .pkg file in less than 2 minutes. Thanks a million matey! Arr!
 
You are posting in the wrong thread! I will move these 2 posts shortly where they belong.


You did not follow the instructions.
You should have installed ofw 4.82 twice before using the flash writer to avoid the situation you are in.
You should redo the whole process as explained here.

Hmm he just did this in another thread as well. Its going to be simple from here on out. Post will simply be removed .. Asking nicely and establishing some basic rules does not work it appears. So i will try more effective ways. if user's are seeking help they need to respect the forum rules and its that simple..

Edit: gave a short ban til next weekend. (Found ANOTHER thread same question 3 by my count).
  • 5.) No Derailing of Threads
  • 7.) Please do not post the same questions in multiple threads.

I need a little help here.

How to install and play C00 .pkg files ? They do not have a .rap file. Then, how do you generate a .rif and the signed_ac.dat file for C00 .pkg ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Warm Regards

Troy
