PS3HEN [Tutorial] [PS3HEN] The Great Ps3 HEN All in One Guide

OK, so I'll not load it to 100%. So far I have installed only Red Dead Redemption and downloading God of War from PSN. Can I install updates to usb drive or it's for storage only? I have old Toshiba GSX hdd (120GB) in usb 2.0 case. Swap it with the SSD?

Can I at least sync trophies on HFW? Or I have to turn off wi-fi in network settings?
 
Hello. I'm very new in this. I have a superslim model.
Here are the processes i've done already:
My system was already on the version 4.87, but i installed (twice as some places indicate) HFW 4.87.1
Installed HEN 3.0.2, multiman, webman, irisman.
Signed in playstation network with an account.
Activated game in account management, system activation, ps3 system, game.
I even dumped IDPS.
I have an act.dat file within the dev_hdd0/home/000000xx/exdata/ folder.
I'm trying to install or activate the rap files, but it doesn't do anything.
I've tried psnpatch, reactpsn.
I've put the rap files into exdata of the USB, i've tried within the HDD exdata folder also.. It always asks for the licence. The licence never showed within the package file, pslaystation network content. It's always empty.
Can't say what i've been doing wrong.
Can somebody help ?

Try to use PS3Xploit resigner tool to resign RAP files and packed into one RIF installation PKG file. This might be HEN bug which I'm also facing as well.

That's the change for PS3HEN 2.4.0
  • - Speed improvement when loading NPDRM type 2 games (need original or RAP Activated RIF), CPU couldnt generate ECDSA fast enough
So I guess you need a RIF file?, I don't really remember a lot as it has been over a year ago I used PS3 / PS3HEN.
But a good thing to note was that the rap must be named after the Content ID, if again, if my memory hasn't failed me.
 
Somebody gave me this hint when i was about to give up and thought there's nothing I could do.
Some rap files are in uppercase (at least all that i had) and renaming RAP to lowercase rap did the work.
I saw alot of videos, alot of posts, tutorials, everything.. I did it all correctly, i think.
But that I didn't see. It IS important.
 
Just to make sure, can I use this method on my PS3 (which minvercheck says update data can only be installed with 3.72 or later) without fear of bricking?

HEN is compatible with all PS3 models, so it's perfectly safe. If you tried to patch your flash to install CFW you would encounter a brick since your MinVerChk result is higher than 3.56; but you are perfectly safe to use HEN without risking a brick. :)
 
Can this be done without PSN profile/account?
Does this work without any prerequisites like HAN?
I keep getting a failure with a lot of zeroes and a "NaN". I kept retrying and the furthest it got to was 95%, told me success and the the install failed.

I updated it to 4.86 OFW like the guide said. It is a fat model CECHK01 manufactured in mid 2008.
I am new to PS3 softmodding, but not in general as my Wii has HBC.

you don't need hen for that model. you can use cfw. here is a guide to using bgtoolset to jailbreak.
 
Just a note about the instructions on first page...

In Part Six - PSN Content, regarding "Starting game": shouldn't it say that it is required to enable HEN before starting something installed from a pkg file? I actually only have IrisMAN installed from a pkg file, but it DOES require to enable HEN in order to start it.

Obviously, if you've already enabled HEN since your last boot, you don't need to (and can't) enable it again, but generally speaking I think HEN needs to be enabled before launching anything installed as a pkg, even if it didn't need a RAP file (like IrisMAN), right?

Yes, you need to enable HEN if the game installed is a homebrew.

If the game is an official PSN game, HEN should be enabled if it's the first time that you launch it and the game haven't been activated (and the rap file exists in /dev_hdd0/exdata or /dev_usb000/exdata).

Once the game is activated, the right information file (rif) is created in /dev_hdd0/home/**userid**/exdata. In this case, HEN is optional.

If the PSN game is NPDRM free (e.g. a demo or CFW2OFW), HEN is not required.
