- For "Non-CFW" Consoles: This is the highest quality solution for PS3 models that cannot install full Custom Firmware (specifically "SuperSlim" models and late "Slim" models). It bridges the gap between Official Firmware and CFW.
- Functionality: It allows you to run backup managers (like multiman), emulators, and ISO files, similar to a full CFW console.
- Safety: Unlike installing a full CFW, HFW is technically an official firmware with minor modifications. This makes it safer and "high quality" for users who are afraid of "bricking" their console, as it is very difficult to break the system using this method.
- Verify your model: Flip your PS3 over. Look for the CECH-20xx, 21xx, or 25xx on the sticker.
- Update to OFW 4.92: Go to Settings > System Update > Update via Internet. Install the official Sony update first.
- Download the HQ HFW: Find the
PS3UPDAT.PUP file for "HFW 4.92.1 High Quality" (check the usual PS3 homebrew forums for the hash checksum).
- USB Installation: Place the file on a FAT32 USB drive in
PS3/UPDATE/.
- Safe Mode Install: Power off the PS3, hold the power button until you hear two beeps, and install via "System Update."
- Run the Exploit: Go to the browser, clear cache, and visit your local PS3 exploit host. Install Hen v3.4.0 or higher.
