How to Update HFW & PS3HEN for Firmware 4.91!

With new firmware updates comes a new build of PS3HEN as well as a new Hybrid Firmware (HFW) update! PS3HEN can easily be updated if your console is connected to the internet, but a new HFW update must be manually installed from a USB drive. This tutorial will show you how to update your PS3HEN console to a higher HFW update and reinstall the latest version of PS3HEN.

Although this tutorial was recorded with 4.86 all of the software needed has been updated to 4.91 meaning the steps will be the exact same. The only difference being a 4.91 HFW will need to be utilized as opposed to 4.86 HFW shown in this video. It is assumed you have already installed PS3HEN on your console and have the basic understanding of how to use it prior to watching this tutorial.

As a final warning directly from the PS3Xploit team themselves: DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES ENABLE FSM (Factory Service Mode) OR INSTALL CCAPI ON A PS3 WITH PS3HEN!

Not only that your videos helped me a lot to jailbreak my own PS3 and PS Vita, but your calm and soothing voice and your patience even for beginners make
me watch your videos for consoles I don't even possess haha

I genuinely enjoy this channel and wanted to thank you for helping me and also my friends regarding CFW and exploits ;)

[Foyls]

I just love how he makes sure there is absolutely 0 ways you can fuck this up

[ballinlikeduce]

Thanks man! You're amazing at explaining the process, and I love how you include small details like showing how to go into recovery mode, and what to do if it doesn't install using the internet browser. BY FAR THE BEST PS3 JAILBREAK TUTORIAL LESSONS ON YOUTUBE!

[redhippog]

For those that they have problem applying the HFW for 2nd time through recovery mode, just switch USB ports to your flash drive/usb-stick and the dualshock controller.

So many tutorial videos suck to the point that I never even want to try to use them. This one is absolutely perfect though. Thank you for the work you put into this!

Been researching CFW and the jailbreak scene on ps3 in 2020, makes my precious 3.55 ps3 just another ps3 😆 Awesome to see how far the community has come along. Awesome vid as always 😁

If you are having trouble with the second system update try this, right after you press Start and Select, unplug the controller. I had this same problem when i installed Hen the first time. Then plug the controller back in for the next step. And i'd unplug it again once it starts the install.

thanks bro, I really appreciate it, and it is a good thing that you still do content about ps3, because there are many people who love and enjoy playing with the ps3 including me, couple months back or I think 4 or 5 months back I had followed er tutorial and modded my ps3 I now have PS3 HEN and I love it thanks for that.

[ivarwennerholm]
