How to Convert Your PS3 from PS3HEN to CFW
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 มิ.ย. 2024
- I've covered how to jailbreak a PS3 from stock firmware to obtain Custom Firmware (CFW) with the PS3 Toolset aka BG Toolset, however many PS3 owners with CFW compatible have been running PS3HEN and wanted to know how to migrate from PS3HEN to CFW. Although there might be some confusion and worry about starting on PS3HEN with HFW, reverting back to OFW, uninstalling PS3HEN, etc. this tutorial should hopefully ease those worries by showing the PS3HEN to CFW conversion process step-by-step.
In order to do all of this you MUST have a compatible PS3. All Fat/Phat models work! If you want to perform this on a Slim console, 20XX and 21XX models are all compatible. 25XX models that have a 3.56 or lower minimum firmware version will work, anything showing a higher minimum firmware will not. ANY PS3 MODEL HIGHER THAN 25XX WILL NOT WORK! This includes newer Slim (30XX) models and all Super Slim models.
If you have a CFW capable PS3 the first thing you should do is backup your console's NAND or NOR flash to a FAT32 formatted flash drive. This should be done on every install, just in case your system needs the flash restored at any point in the process. After verifying your flash dump is proper, you can download the required patch for your console and install it all directly within the browser! This process will download a specific file to your console and "patch" the console so it's ready for CFW. After verifying your PS3 has been patched successfully, you can simply reboot your console, take a 4.91 CFW of your choice, and install it directly through the XMB!
Although this tutorial was recorded on firmware 4.91, the jailbreak process with PS3 Toolset is the same on higher firmwares as long as all of the software needed has been updated. The only differences would be a firmware specific patch, which PS3 Toolset will download for you, and a different CFW matching your firmware version.

I got excited for a minute there. Thanks for clarifying it early
That's why I put it early in!
Me too 😂
Man, i love how thorough your video tutorials are on modding/softmodding consoles. I followed this one and i was so happy to be using cfw on my PS3 Slim instead of the HEN i was using for 2 years.
Glad this helped!!
This is so useful, thank you! Had HEN for ages and wanted to switch to CFW but didn’t know how to
Great to hear!
The Toolset site wasn't live the other night when I tried it. I went to it to make sure my Ps3 fat could be CFW'd and it was live. I'm doing this in an hour. Thank you Mario!!
Have fun!
Your videos are always a treat to watch
this comment has nothing to do with the video itself but i really want to thank you for the tutorials for modding the xbox 360, just modded yesterday and worked fine, had 3 xbox modded before thanks to your tutorials, keep up!
Glad you like them!
I successfully completed installing CFW thanks mario!!
Have fun!
Thanks man.
Went well without any issue.
Glad it helped!
Can you make a video telling what is the diff between HEN and CFW
such a great help, thanks a lot.
fantastic video, even a schmock like me could do it with your help.
Based
Thx Bro
Your giving a complete Tutorial with link ....
Yup
Thanks, now i need a storage upgrade
Nice brother ❤
Thanks!
Love you Mario thank you!
I have 2 ps3, one with Hen and one with cfw and an update to the latest update firmware Hen and Cobra 😉
Hey man is it first 4.91 or 4.91.2 beta 1 update, im on first 4.91 it have a lot bugs, i will try beta 1
I got error it says error occurred during the update n' it keeps booting to the update reaches 50% n' goes back to the same problem
Fantastic, I plan to convert mine someday so will be following this! Thank you
Have fun!
I downloaded CFW 4.91 BETA 1 successfully by following this tutorial but i noticed it has problems like when I connect to psn the games or apps give me an error “8001003A” when I launch them…. My questions are :
1 - I want to to upgrade from BETA 1 to BETA 6, can i do the same way on this video or do i need another way ?
2 - when i put my disk in the BD it gets stuck hallfway so do i need to donwload NO BD VERSION or NORMAL VERSION should be fine?
3 - and lastly from BETA 2 and above when you extract the file it doesn’t have MD5.txt should i be fine upgrading without comparing md5?
Thank you for the things you are giving to this community
My ps3 menu right under where the PlayStation store is it says an error occurred during the starting operation plz help
awesome sauce
YEAH
Thank you so much
You're most welcome
I have a ps3 super slim,but PS3 Hen seems a good option. I know I'll need to replace the 250hdd with a SATA 1tb SSD.
Do you have to turn HEN off when you go online?and how can you save online with multiman? It would be great if you made a video of this because you won't find it anywhere
I don't play online.
I gotta get my hands on a PS3 that's able to have CFW. I love my super slim it does most of what I want it to do as in a CFW but I think CFW is still superior overall for obvious reasons.
Definitely nice having a cool Super Slim running PS3HEN, but it can't a full CFW 🙂
My ps3 on 4.90 .. And i had been jailbroken it with hen.
Should I update it to official 4.91 then enable Hen then Cfw 4.91 ?
Thank you
You're welcome
even if the system is clean (no webman or others) and activated for games, HEN crashes 1 out of 5 times or almost certainly after launching an application again. it's unstable especially in the new versions (4.89 or higher), the old versions however were much more stable (i use hen on 4.84)
I personally have had the opposite, sorry to hear.
Hi! Hope you can assist, my ps3 is on 4.76 and never been jailbroken. Should I follow this tutorial? Or a different one.
👋❤️
4.91 jailbreak tutorial is the one to follow.
@@MrMario2011 thanks for the fast reply! I’ll go watch that one.
So does it matter that im not actually on 4.91 ? Does 4.91 have any benefit over my 4.76 and if so, can I upgrade to 4.91?
I appreciate the help 👍
Hey, some "unluck" happened. I've got power outage right in the middle of the patching.
Can you make a video how to use that flash memory bank we saved before patching.
Or respond here, what can i do to unbrick my console? xD
Thank you!
I got no warnings or dangers when checking the flash, but I noticed that the ROS0 and ROS1 were still mismatched despite it saying it's ok, what should I do?
That's fine.
Can you run ps2 iso games in this 4.91 CFW ? I'm not sure about this new update if it's ok with iso games either from multi man or out
Yep
So when I get a mismatch between res0 and res1, because I clearly have installed CFW on my PS3 many years ago and I just updated to OFW 4.91 with a new 500gb hard drive, then I should install that old CFW multiple times to get res0 and res1 back in sync before proceeding? It's the only warning with the dump checker.
Found out I can apply the same OFW 4.91 update again via the Settings > System Update > Update from USB and that got both ROS0 and ROS1 into the same state. Disco.
I covered exactly that in the video, but it seems like you applied the recommendation I had.
@@MrMario2011 yep, I didn't fully understand it but then did other research and then what you said makes sense.
@@MrMario2011 thanks for the video!
I’m trying ti download using a MacBook, once I try to put it on my usb it says can not open windows because macos doesn’t support? Any help?
Not enough detail provided, no idea which step you are on.
I have questions Mr Mario is 🙋 it's work in any old Fat PS3 ?
Answered in the video.
hey buddy. i have phat ps3 with cfw 4.82 rebug and cobra. but im trynna update it to evilnat 4.91. would i just have to flash the mem and then update it ?
Watch my CFW update guide.
@@MrMario2011 i think i did. i got stopped at flashing the memory from the http. the option didn’t show up . did i miss a step ?
You didn't watch my CFW update guide.
Hey, why is super slim and later versions of slim not compatible with cfw?
I would recommend researching it if you want to get a more granular approach on it, but from what I know in short it has to do with 3.55 signing keys.
That did not change until after 3.56, which is why consoles with a minimum firmware version higher than 3.56 cannot take a full custom firmware.
Hello Mario 🙂Work this with PS3 SuperSlim Edition ??
Answered in the video
Great job👍 thank you MrMario
You are very welcome
you rock
Much appreciated 🖤
I went ot the site and it showed version 4.91.2 and my device is 4.91, should I download the cfw ?
How else will you install CFW?
I know it’s very niche but honestly I kind of liked hen, not been enjoying permanent CFW. Not sure if there is a way to revert back to hen
There is, watch my video covering the opposite!
@@MrMario2011 I will look for it, thank you so much
the EvilNat download did not come with a MD5 folder for anyone using this tutorial.
I had the same problem
system time settings check error. I set exactly same time like in video
Set it manually if it cannot be set automatically.
i have a ps3 fat with PS3Hen 4.86, is it okay to follow this or should i need to update to 4.90 first?
Either way is fine.
@@MrMario2011thank you so much for answering but one more question, am I going to have any problems with my games that was installed using pkg format?
thx bro
No problem
27:02 does that work for psx games as well?
CFW can play games pretty problem free, no need to encrypt.
What would happen if you tried to install CFW on a PS3 super slim.
You'll brick your console after applying the patch.
Ah ok, Thanks.
What is the difference between HFW and CFW?
hfw is essentially ofw modified to allow ps3hen to be installed.
cfw is a largely CustomFirmWare which has benefits over hen such as being able to downgrade, overclock, use nobluetooth and nobluraydrive firmwares, play ps2 isos, and many other features.
If all you use your ps3 for is playing ps3 games, chances are you have no real need for cfw
@@zorua98741 understood🙂↕️
@@zorua98741can my mom get it too ?
How do I backup all my savefiles and game data
Nevermind I don't need to I just watched the full tutorial and thank you it's fully working
why not go straight to the point and install 4.91 cfw from usb? 2012b here
Feel free to try that without patching!
@@MrMario2011 I'm trying to play PS2 games but without success, I'm getting sad with this. I'm trying to do is: play PS2 games in PKG format on my PS3 slim with HEN 4.91. After downloading and installing the game I try to access it through homebrew, when opening the game the screen goes black and the console makes 3 beeps and turns off. I installed the webman, multiman and irisman applications but none of them detects these PKG games that I am installing. I do not know what else to do. If I install CFW 4.91 would it solve this problem? Or what could I do to be able to play these games while maintaining HFW?
@@MrMario2011 im trying to play PS2 games pkg but when i open the game the screen turn to Black then the console give 3 beeps and turn off. Tried to open this games on multiman webman and irisman but this applications dont find this games
Is it possible to downgrade and switch to rebug?
Yep!
How do I do the thing?
Mix the thing with the stuff to get whatever, man!
Does the patch import?
?
I Have cech-25xxB can i get cfw?
Answered in the video.
Yes i know but you said mabye.
So how do i know if its a yes or a no?
Answered in the video.
Why would anyone install HEN on a PS3 that's capable of CFW in the first place?
Impatience waiting on the PS3 Toolset to be updated, or a new CFW, or they prefer PS3HEN.
Is CFW superior?
Yes
@@MrMario2011 nice, I’ll give it a try. I’ve been trying to a figure out a way to play my old ps2 roms on a regular slim, had no luck with hen 4.91 and webman
I guess this is ur favorite console?
Nope
@@MrMario2011 Well which one is ?
i have superslim i got excited :(
Yeah, it sucks.
I have a superslim and if I had CFW - coulda modded MW3 to fix the server connection issue that new players face.
Glad I dispelled that early in 😛
The thumbnail doesn't even show the Super Slim.
So sad i have ps3 super slim😢
