Yes. Once you're back to stock you've got a standard PS3. Even with the modded firmware you can connect to PSN, but you do need to be careful that you mask the modded OS.
Sadly this didn't fix my problem. When I go in safe mode, and "system update", it requires "update version 9.99 or newer". Playstation is 4.91, so I only get the message "No useable update data was found"....
I had a PS3 with HEN installed along with some games. After I followed this process, my console was back to OFW, but the games that were installed still work like normal, is this supposed to happen?
i have an issue where "Package Manager" doesn't show up no matter how much i enable HEN. The games and other apps work but no package manager. Any tips?
You simply need to be able to create an FAT32 USB drive and save a file onto it in the correct folder. If your computer/tablet/phone can do that you're fine.
@@BytesNBits hello! It goes black during every process, but seems to actually finish the process. Weird. I discovered that the monitor I am using (which was advertised as ps3 compatible) a mini hdmi. It goes black during the hdmi recognition process, so I was like “omfg I have no idea what actually worked and what didn’t.” I managed to get ofw back on it and hopefully tomorrow I’ll try to put 4.90 cfw on it on a different tv. When I tried the bluray player, it didn’t work. When I out ofw on it, the bluray player worked. What the fook is going on? I tried multiman, black screen, tried to do a file restore and the other on, database restore, then multiman worked, turned it off, next time I tried multiman didn’t work. I put 4.91.2 beta 10 on. Should I go win hen? I have no idea what is going on. If it was the monitor this whole time, I’m gonna be so effing angry. My slim ps3 never had problems on that monitor. So idk. Sorry you had to read all that.
This is what i Wanted... thank You
very Detailed Step by Step.
Glad it helped
Bob, could you reconnect on PSN after the process without deactivating the PS3 from the PSN just like you mentioned on 15:20?
Yes. Once you're back to stock you've got a standard PS3. Even with the modded firmware you can connect to PSN, but you do need to be careful that you mask the modded OS.

I guess something you've installed is blocking the update process. Usually the custom firmware, etc. will let you force an update.
@@BytesNBits what can i do if i have this problem but it says 2.50 or later
I had a PS3 with HEN installed along with some games. After I followed this process, my console was back to OFW, but the games that were installed still work like normal, is this supposed to happen?
I think some games install themselves fully onto the hard drive, especially if you use the package files.
@BytesNBits so are these games safe to go online/trophy sync on?
Once everything is deleted, is it safe to put my original psn account? Am I not at risk of being banned?
If you've restored to an original firmware you're safe.
thanks i didnt know to save the link of the update
Hope it worked for you.
i have an issue where "Package Manager" doesn't show up no matter how much i enable HEN.
The games and other apps work but no package manager. Any tips?
That's a strange one. You might need to re install the PS3HEN patch as something has gone wrong.
Useful. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
How to install game saves?
I have hen and when I go to game save utility I found 2 games that don't show up on play menu so how to get them?
The game saves may be from disk based games?? If you install backups for those games you should get the saves working.
Nice, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Can I download delisted games such as sonic the hedgehog 1 and 2 and then remove the mod whilst keeping those games
I don't think so but I haven't tried.
It say a serious error has occurred
Can you restart the process?
Hey is it possible for me to factory reset my ps3 hen not delete it just reset everything
I'm not sure. You might be able to do it by just reinstalling it but I haven't tried it.
quick question if I simply just format my ps3 without doing any of these steps does cfw still stay on?
Yes, but you'll need to re install all of your Homebrew apps.
that only cover an update? whhat is, when there is no update
You can reflash the same version to clear out the custom firmware.
Can you run homebrewed games without multiman
Yes.
Can I put safe Mode with ps5 controller?
I haven't tried it with a PS5 controller. I guess you'll need to try it out.
no ps3 only
Will this remove evilnat?
This will reset everything.
Is it possible to remove CFW without a pc?
You simply need to be able to create an FAT32 USB drive and save a file onto it in the correct folder. If your computer/tablet/phone can do that you're fine.
Why the HELL would anyone wanna do that?
Maybe you want to rebuild from scratch or sell the PS3 as a stock machine.
I get a black screen when installing anything. I’ve had a horror show experience over the past two days. I’m ready to take a hammer to my ps3.
Can you get the console into safe mode? Will it not allow you to install a clean firmware version? Does it still boot up into the normal XMB?
