Here are all of the major topics that I'll be covering for today's guide:

• How to successfully convert your OFW PS3 to HFW (Hybrid Firmware.) and how to update to 4.88 HFW if you're on an older version of HFW such as 4.87 or lower.

• How to install the latest version of HEN onto your console. As of 6/9/2021 which is version 3.03.

• Covering general tips such as being online & general HEN usage protocols.

• How to install homebrew applications via Package Manager.

--------

★ Additional Information:

• In today's guide, I'll be utilizing my CECHK01 (fat model) PS3 that is flashed to 4.86 HFW (Hybrid Firmware) note for this process you can use ANY model PS3. This means Fat, Slim, and SuperSlim model PS3's from any region can use this exploit!

• As of 6/9/2021 4.88 is the latest firmware for the PS3 & if a new firmware is pushed by Sony make sure to stay on the lowest firmware as at any time Sony can patch any exploits for the PS3.

• Being on HEN/HFW is not comparable to CFW (Custom Firmware) such as Rebug, Ferrox, Habib, etc, as in some regards HEN is limited when running some apps.

• HEN allows most homebrew applications to run, however, things such as debug apps/games will not run with HEN.

• While being on HEN it is important to NOT ENABLE FSM (Factory Service Mode) or install CCAPI (Console Control API) as this will BRICK and or cause damage to your console. This warning has been issued by the PS3Xploit team.

• 4.88 Firmware or lower *Can't be done on higher firmware*

[HaltonLax]

BRO!! You made perfect tutorial! Previously I had to piece it all together from a few different sources and reading stuff online, just bought a second system and you made it a life saver pal! thank you !

[hugovinicius]

Dude, you gave me the confidence to update mine to 4.89. Thank you sooo much!! Took me some time and troubleshooting some specific issues with my console but it worked great!!
ALSO QUICK TIP: Close the main browser tab after clicking in "HEN Enable/Installer". After I did that it installed HEN on the first try.

[cincity]

You are my official guy from now on!!!

[goodmantajay]

yooo this work 100% im from jamaica i love you man

[gouaderraed]

thank you, every thing work perfect !

[elliotkwasek]

Hello good Sir. This video still works as of today!! I tried other videos and failed many times. Thank You. Now I must learn to add ps1 games to it. Hopefully you have a video for that!

[crstocks]

Great Video Bro!!! Worked Like Explained!!!! Thank You! subscribed and liked!

[paperclip]

Hi, nice video! I'm planning to get my first ever ps3 soon (very excited) and your video really helps me to prepare for what to come. I just wanna know does activating ps3 with psn account essential if you don't care about online stuff like multiplayer or trophy and just want to play games offline? Thanks for both of your time and excellent video!

[YoTezzz]

when I tried to install hen it kept saying install hybrid firmware and im already on 4.88 idk what to do 🤦🏽‍♂️

[DJSickey]

Question: How do I change Icon of game under game tab ? I installed using MultiMan, folder based game, copied it to PS3 hdd, and now as icon, its just "disc" like image for game... game runs, no problem, and icon showed only while Im in MultiMan app, but not in normal game browser... If i leave few seconds on disc/game, original (normal) icon appears, but as soon as I move to other game bellow or above, disc icon appears back, and its kinda annoying

[stephenjerzak]

Thanks for the update guide! I know this is probably a common question, but is psn_patch recommended for simply trophy syncing?

[jameshenry]

Hey man would really appreciate anyone's help I'm desperate right now. I did everything else right. But when I go to ps3xploits and click on the HEN installer 3 things happen:
First on is that no file pops up to start downloading
Second I click on initialize HEN nothing happens either no letters anywhere

[DANK-cwfu]

Amazing video nagato.❤️
Q1: Installing any thing like multiman am I supposed to be disconnected from internet?
Q2: can I play online GTA v on user 1 if i installed all the package on user2
Q3: what if I accidentally enable internet on user 2 does it effect the user1 too?
Q4: why you sound so cool 😎😜?

[TabsAnDabs]

So I don't have a ps3 controller anymore, do I need one for the hfw install? I noticed it prompts you with the press ps button to use controller before the install and I'm not trying to spend 20$ on a controller I'll use one time and never touch again

[walkerbullock]

If your ps3 is already at 4.88 without hen can you still do this process or do I need to reset the PlayStation to lower the firmware?

[asapmikey]

I do all your tutorials and they always work but this time my system won't update past 66% percent and is in a loop and gives me error code 8002F1F9, any help will help
