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.

.... Nobody answers me.. looks like this xploit 3.0 is no big deal, it doesn't work for any game except psn games .. Sad.. i was so excited.
I wasn't able to run ps1 ps2, i won't even try ps3 games..

I don't know if i'm doing something wrong.. i do exactly the same for psn games.. when i tried ps1..
PSN games works
PS1 and PS2 not

I can't even install pkg through Standard option.. cause when i click this option it says " Waiting"
For about 2 minutes... nothing happens, and then the screen goes back, with no game installed.

Then i try to install through Playstation Network option on the Package Manager..Weirdly the pkg is there.. so well.. i'm able to install from there a ps1 game (psn games i can intall on standard)
After that i do the act/rif injection, reboot, enable HAN...everything fine till i hit the game to play... it seems the game will play normal.. the screen goes black,
But.. it goes back to playstation 3 menu with error some numbers..

And nobody can give me an asnwer, so what's the point in this xploit? If only works on psn?
When you see please wait,wait for about 20-30 minutes and it will go away.Once the please wait is gone go into your package manager and go to playstation network content and the install bubble should be in there.Its also important to inject a modified version of your act.dat and your rif file licence connected to the pkg.You must also have a second account activated for it to work or you will get a error message if you inject the rif file and modified act.dat to the first account.

As for this being no big deal,please tell me a better exploit without cfw that can inject full licenced games? A userland exploit that allows backups to be installed is a huge deal.

what do you mean by a second account ? a psn account ? or PS3 user account ? or both ?
 
It's Official, ps1 and ps2 games doesn't work. I tried lots of different games, none worked.
what makes it official? because you said it? well, seeing that we have already confirmed to work what you say does not work.....that sir, is a false statement!

what do you mean by a second account ? a psn account ? or PS3 user account ? or both ?
you need an ACTIVATED account...thats all. the 2nd account is so your main one doesnt get touched!

is there way to write in dev-hdd0/tmp?
of course :-p

I did all the steps above, installed the pkg and injected the rif files but when i start them i get the 8002951A,80029515 errors for them, so what should i do?
sounds like you missed a step there buddy! like maybe the HAN Enabler on each reboot or exit from VSH needs re-activated!

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.
you only need to activate one of those!! if you resigned a HAN package just use HAN enabler. the Debug PKG Enabler is only if you need to install a debug pkg!

Initialization fails for me every time i try to inject the rif/dat files. I've tried resetting my console and enabling HAN, but nothing works.
this has been covered so many times, my brain hurts!!

sometimes init fails..just try again. also make sure to set page as Homepage or set BLANK and make bookmarks to each page

thank you just checking,i thought a 2nd account is crucial to the ps2/ps1 emulation,i couldn't care less about my ps3 or psn accounts i dusted this ps3 off that i haven't touched in 7 years just to have some fun with this exploit

I was just upset, cause no one was answering me, But... yeah this xploit it's awesome. Yes it is a big deal, sorry.

Till the part of installing through Playstation Network, i was able to do fine.
But.. you are saying.. i should inject act.dat and validate rif file, on a secondary acc for ps1 and ps2 games?

This second acc, needs to have it's own act.dat?
Making a new dump and all? Please enlighten me.

Edit: I guess.. i know what you meant
You see i already got this second acc, but this acc i actually call the MAiN XPLOIT acc, the first one to hack and all.
You saying make a second acc, sounded to me like a second xploit acc, a 2nd hack user, along with the first. But i don't think that's necessary.

Which leaves me ... still in trouble. No solution yet.

Have you tried my method ? http://www.psx-place.com/threads/tutorial-convert-psx-ps2-psp-games-for-ps3xploit.16690

Did you resign then install your PSX/2 PKG's ?

Did you convert them or did you use an official PKG ?

Did you inject rifs ?

I downloaded some Pkg's from some site
Also downloaded from ***PlayStation Store*** too.

I believe some of these pkgs aren't official, they were ISO before, but someone converted and put on that site.
I tried official ones too.

Yes i injected rifs.

@habib @esc0rtd3w @bguerville so i installed some backups on my secondary account.and they work just fine.habib said never to log in to that patched account so...
can i go to my main account and play them online? bo2,and gta 5.
i had this account since the ps3 release and im really afraid of getting banned on it because of having han enabled.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
thx
 
@Light_Warrior and like a shitton of other people!!

warez are not allowed or links to downloaded games and rap files :oops:

some of these links in themselves may not be breaking site rules, but for sure some of them are, and RAP files cannot be linked

we all know how to use google!!

If you are really afraid of getting banned on it why not just make a new account. you are meant to use throwaway accounts with exploits as bans happen every day.
 
Weird thing is... i can accomplish just fine all the steps, HAN works, Dump works, Activation works and all. PS3 and PSN games works.

But ps1 and ps2 don't. Of course they are already converted in PKG, some of the games i try are even Official pkgs. So... what could it be? I'm running out of ideas..
 
It's possible to use this to install a fan translation of a digital copy with my a real licence? In concrete, Tales of Berseria
