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.

With the risk of repeating someone else's question, here I go: is it possible to run Nier (Gestalt, the US release) using HAN? It's disc-only and it does have a DLC which I believe could be counted as an update, but it doesn't have an actual update. Would messing with the param.sfo file to make it appear as if it's a newer version help, for example?

I tried installing it but I did mess around with the param.sfo to be able to make the pkg for the game itself (it didn't allow me to start the conversion until I changed the thingamabob about the game being digital instead of a disc title), so maybe that's why it didn't work. I'll probably try another method for pkg conversion that doesn't include param.sfo editing, but I'd still like to know if there's even a point in me trying to do so.
I'm going to quote my questions, it seems no one able to answer saw them/paid them any attention.
 
is there any other way to get the act.dat file
Backup extracting by trueanchestor backup retailer (TABR) program (You need ps3 backup with secondery user and psn activated first) and you had to get idps.hex to fullfill extracting (Place in idps folder in TABR folder)
takes a time if you got a alot of games in backup
But im not so sure

I have a few more questions if its ok to ask here

1.Can we use the han copier to transfer just rif files?If we already modified the act.dat one time and injected it we dont need to transfer it multiple times right,which is why im asking if the copier can just take rif files.

2.Is it safe to put my main accounts back on the ps3 and reactivate them? Before i used the han installer i deactivated my main ps3 accounts and deleted them off my ps3 incase of a possible ban and created 2 new dummy accounts and activated them since the exploit only works on secondary accounts.However i do have legit games on the main psn accounts so i would like to put them back on the console again and reactivate the licences on my main accounts.

How can i do a clean install? I gets error 80029567 when i try to instal any pkg but yesterday i install a ps3 pkg without any problem.
 
Have you enabled hen after ps3 reboot? If it still doesn't work try local hen or ps3xploit website.

I have enabled hen after reboot and enable pkg debug, also I try with a local web server, miniweb, and I can conect to it again like from webpage of ps3xploit, but I get same error,I don't know what to do with other customs pkgs like psx or psp it happens the same.

2. Technically you are just borrowing games from your second account. I think big S is more focused on guarding the ps4 right now rather than still fighting for ps3.
 
Hey guys, how are you?
I would like to ask a question about PS3, good when installing "flsh.hex", my PS3 in brickou, I restored the backup with E3 Flasher, but when installing the update, either OFW or CFW, it hangs at 99% and error "8002F313", I searched the Internet, but I did not find anything concrete to do, could anyone help me with this?
Sorry English, is Google Translate.
