How to Convert Your PS3 from CFW to PS3HEN

Several CFW PS3 owners have been curious to try PS3HEN or have even preferred it, but they weren’t sure which steps would need to be taken to migrate their console from a CFW setup to a PS3HEN installation. Although ther might be some confusion and worry over the process of installing HFW and PS3HEN, this tutorial should hopefully ease those worries by showing the process step-by-step.

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.

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.

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!
