Some questions I wanna ask

[Bizzle]

Hello guys I successfully installed hen on my super slim yesterday so I was wondering few things I wanna ask. Firstly if I perform a system restore to default settings does that mean the hfw and hen are gonna get deleted?
Second I installed the hfw update through system updates twice does it matter if I install it through safe mode or not. And of I do does that mean everything is going to get restored. Thanks

No, HFW and HEN should remain untouched as those are stored on dev_flash. When you restore a console to defaults it only wipes dev_hdd0 and resets the xregistry.sys on dev_flash2.

Second I installed the hfw update through system updates twice does it matter if I install it through safe mode or not. And of I do does that mean everything is going to get restored. Thanks

Really you didnt need to install HFW twice for HEN but its makes no difference if you did do it.

Installing it twice was only required on CFW compatible consoles when patching for CFW, and it was only required on an old version of the flash writer.

It does not matter if you used safe mode or not, as long as HFW installed that is all that matters.

Installing HEN is super safe, people have bricked super slims in the past because they don't read warnings try to install CFW.

What`s dev_flash ?

dev_flash is the partition where the firmware is stored. Do not mess around with it unless you know what you are doing.

are irisman and multiman and webmode safe ?

Yes, those homebrews are safe. They are all back up managers, you only really need one of them normally.
