How to Install PS3HEN on Any PS3 on Firmware 4.91 or Lower!
165,593
Published 2024-03-16
Although this tutorial was recorded on firmware 4.91, the installation process is the same on higher firmwares as long as all of the software needed has been updated. The only difference would be a higher version of HFW and PS3HEN would need to be used. If the video title and description shows a higher firmware number than what is shown in the video, that means PS3HEN and HFW have been updated for that specific version.
Keep in mind this is not the equivalent of a full custom firmware (CFW) or jailbreak! PS3HEN does not have the full access CFW contains, but much of the functionality people are looking for is available on PS3HEN. Not all homebrew will work on PS3HEN, some of it will require either resigning to 3.55 or will need an update from the author.
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!

Thanks, it's comforting every year to run your video alongside the update process to make sure I don't mess up.
-
I really appreciate you making videos with each update. Even if I don’t necessarily use online features on my ps3, I still follow your guide to update ps3hen just for peace of mind. You’re a real one fr

Just thoroughly cleaned out my ps3 super slim and reapplied new thermal paste after having this for about 11 ish years. Seeing this guide will be my next task to getting hen on this. Thanks for the video👍 Just completed the install and it went smoothly! Thanks again

Hey, i just wanted to say, i got recommended your video by a friend, and this and their help got me through the whole thing, and that's pretty big. i'm really skittish wiv anything tech-y, but you did an excellent job making something easy-to-follow, useful, and reassuring. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put in, and for the kindness in sharing it wiv folx. Stay safe, and have a wonderful day, yeah?

Great video, as always. Thanks again for testing stuff!

thanks for taking the time to make new videos every time theres an update in the ps3 modding scene
-
Thank you bro. You’re one of the first Youtubers that has been very direct. I’ve been trying for six months to jailbreak my PlayStation 3 super slim and now I can say that I have officially done it. Thank you so much, bro. Keep making videos.🎉

I don't normally comment on yt BUT - I've softmodded my dsi and Wii over the past few years. Not being super technically minded it took hours, making mistakes, having to check things multiple times. With your guide, it took me less than an hour to install hen and a bunch of homebrew apps on my ps3! I'm ecstatic rn and can't thank you and the rest of the ps3 home-brew community enough. Seriously, thank you so much and hope you're having a fantastic day.

tip for speeding up the MD5 check: copy the output from the MD5 file checksum, then press CTRL + F on the PSX Place site, then paste the output. If the entire MD5 is highlighted on the site, you're good to go.
-
Here again to follow the best, most easily understood instructions. This will be the 3rd time now I've followed your instructions on how to load this. Thank you Mr. Mario!
-

Your videos are master classes in guiding folks through a potentially risky process. Thank you very much!
-
I got my Super Slim PS3 today, thanks for this Mr. Mario. I appreciate it.
-
Surprised Sony updated the PS3 again. Last update was 2022, if I'm not mistaken. Great video, by the way. I don't have a PS3 at the moment, but I'll follow this guide as soon as I get a chance.
-
I want to appreciate your constant work! Your videos are great and every time it works like you describe it. Even with the minor errors you mentioned.
