# Activating HEN Enabler:

{% hint style="warning" %}
Installing HEN can take a while to install. The PS3 has to successfully receive a custom payload that will allow your PS3 to be modified. This process can take multiple tries before HEN is initialized on your device. As well this process may require you to reset your PS3 `MULTIPLE TIMES.`
{% endhint %}

## Step 1: Configuring Network Settings in PS3 Internet Browser

Under the `Network` column in XMB, please enter into the `Internet Browser` application. Once you’re in the `Internet Browser` we're going to delete some files within the browser. Hit `Triangle` on your PS3 controller which will display a side menu as showcased here:

## Step 2: Tool Setting Setup

Assuming that the side menu is still activated on your PS3, go to the `Tools` tab. From the `Tools` tab we need to disable/clear the following features:

* `Confirm Browser Close` turn this setting `Off`
* `Home Page` make sure to set this setting as `Blank Page`
* Make sure to `Delete Cookies` and hit `Yes` to confirm this setting.
* Make sure to `Delete Search History` and hit `Yes` to confirm this setting.
* Make sure to `Delete Cache` and hit `Yes` to confirm this setting.
* Make sure to `Delete Authentication Information` to confirm this setting.

## Step 3: PS3Xploit Setup

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Update 2/21/2023:** Unfortunately, both domains`ps3xploit.me` and `ps3xploit.com` is down. Users should use the GitHub URL "[ps3addict.github.io](https://ps3addict.github.io/)" to install HEN on their consoles. For more information about this matter please refer to the official PSXPlace Forum [post](https://www.psx-place.com/threads/ps3xploit-temporary-mirror-ps3xploit-me-update-ps3xploit-me-down-see-1st-post-for-mirror.38005/).&#x20;
{% endhint %}

Once all of the following settings have been initialized. Within the `Internet Browser` you want to go to `https://ps3addict.github.io`

Now that you're on `https://ps3addict.github.io` you want to select the following option:

{% hint style="success" %}
Mirror of [Official HEN Installer/Enabler](https://ps3addict.github.io/hen_installer) from ps3xploit.me (HEN 3.2.0 on HFW 4.84 to 4.90)
{% endhint %}

<figure><img src="/files/AIUyqZ0t9eB4nlMu88OG" alt=""><figcaption><p>ps3addict.github.io Main Page</p></figcaption></figure>

Once you have launched that option you should be redirected to the `PS3 HEN Installer page` which will download a file called `PS3HEN.p3t`

## Step 5: Initializing HEN

* Once the `PS3HEN.p3t` file has been downloaded, within the `PS3 HEN Installer page` select the option that states `Initialize HEN installer` once the process has initialized you should see a green message stating that the HEN installer initialized successfully.

## Step 6: HEN Installer Page

* The next option that you want to select within the `PS3 HEN Installer page` is `Install HEN` only if you got the `HEN installer initialized successfully message.` Once HEN has been activated you should get an image that states `Welcome to HEN 3.2.0`.

## Step 7: Installing Latest\_HEN\_Installer\_signed.pkg

* Once you see the `Welcome to HEN 3.2.0 message` you can exit out of the `Internet Browser`. Once you have exited the browser, you should see a package `.pkg file` being downloaded to your PS3. The file is 11MB and is called `Latest_HEN_Installer_signed.pkg` Let this package file be fully installed before restarting your PS3.

## Step 8: Enabling HEN

* Once you start back up your PS3 head over to the `Game` column you should see 2 new options on your XMB which is `★ Enable HEN` & `★ Package Manager.` If you have these 2 new options that means HEN has been successfully installed.
