Retrohacked Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 PS3HEN HFW (4.89 Hybrid Firmware) Installation Help? What Is PS3HEN? PS3HEN is an exploit for the PS3. HEN stands for Homebrew ENabler. it consists of functions relatively close to a CFW, but not as feature rich or open as a CFW but a great alternative for those ps3 models that can not install a CFW such as the SuperSlim Models and various Slim model PS3 that came later in the slim production line.. What is HFW (Hybrid Firmware) and why do we need it for PS3HEN? With the official firmware update of 4.84, Sony patched the webkit entry for PS3Xploit tools and exploits, however the actual exploit was never patched only the entry point to execute the exploits. PS3Xploit and Rebug developer's @habib & @Joonie figured out they could inject the old webkit into an OFW pup and it would still install on an unmodified system with the minimal changes, so that brought back the webkit from 4.82 back to 4.84+. That is how HFW was born, simple but effective. With the old webkit in place the real exploit of PS3HEN can trigger. PS3HEN UPDATE (05-20-2022): Version 3.1.0 has been released and provides 4.89.1 HFW Support. See here for additional Details!
