5.03 ChickHEN Homebrew Enabler finally released *UPDATE* |
Listed in: Firmware, Homebrew Applications, Homebrew Development Tags: Custom Firmware, Davee, Exploit, ISO, psp firmware, TIFF, XMB
Ó
Hear that? That's the sound of homebrew aficionados booting up their PSP-3000s and getting ready to finally run some homebrew on the thing. Why? Davee and Team Typhoon have finally released the 5.03 HEN, that's why. Before you go download it, though, read this description from Davee first.
What does the ChickHEN do?
ChickHEN as a Homebrew Enabler that allows the execution of homebrew via the PSP XMB. Running via a vulnerability in the lib TIFF the launcher takes advantage of the system by performing a kernel exploit and rebooting into a homebrew enabled enviroment. The ChickHEN remains active until the PSP is fully reset in which case official firmware loads from the flash. ChickHEN unlike other HEN's doesn't touch the flash0 and resides completely in memory. The h.bin supplied in this download consists of a loader and systemex, which is a inversed order of systemctrl and rebootex
What ChickHEN does NOT do?
- Run ISO, CSO or any other form of UMD backup.
- Run PSX Games
- Touch The Flash of your beloved PSP
- Magically allow the use of Custom Firmware
- Load plugins

*UPDATE*
Enjoying this golden nugget, eh? Well there seems to be a bit of a setback. As it turns out, this release is not capable of running any homebrew -- just yet. But don't worry, Team Typhoon and Davee will be releasing a new verstion tomorrow to fix the aforementioned issues.
Oh, goody! More ChickHEN to look forward to!

but now all the noob Q's will come out of the works, with a tone of ppl asking how to play iso's and use chickHEN, and then abuse the ppl who explain when they cant understand. Im sure there will also be ppl who abuse others over the NO iso thing.
Those kinda ppl who only take from the community and never give back really make me sad.

and even though the tiff exploit works on 5.05 it seems HEN is 5.03 only as when exploit is run it shows red screen instead of green.
wouldnt take much to edit it for 5.05 though i imagine.
Nice work Davee, MaTiAz and freeplay.
keep the brew flowing.

This release shouldn't even have been released since it doesn't do anything.

If you're having problems booting to official firmware, just take out your memory stick and turn the PSP on. Then throw in the memory stick and format it.

For everyone complaining that it isn't working, just remember it's your own fault - yesterday you were complaining because the HEN wasn't being released fast enough.
They'll iron out the bugs soon enough. Then... on to hacking the PSP2! :)

Clearly you don't understand anything about how the PSP firmware operates.
FLASH MEMORY is the area of the system software that interacts with the hardware - there have been many cases where writing to the flash has bricked PSPs - via poorly written homebrew programs, risky downgraders, etc.
But there has never, once, been a brick caused by code that does not write to the flash memory - because it's not possible!
As for "suing" the team that made this HEN - good luck finding a court that will compensate you for:
a) Trying to install "unsigned code" which Sony explicitly forbids in it's EULA
b) "Bricking" your PSP without actually writing anything into the flash memory.

Go to System>Restore Default Settings. Do it. You can change things back later.
The ChickHEN Tiff folder goes into the PSP/Photo Folder. It may work in plain ol' PICTURES, but it work 2nd try in PSP/PHOTO.
The H file goes into the root of the memory card. That means it goes right onto the card and not into a folder. It should go right along with the PSP, PICTURES, Video and other file folders NOT IN THEM. That means no MP_ROOT folder, and don't even try to make a MS_ROOT folder.
Last but not least... After trying WAY too many times before the "DUH" moment without doing what I listed above, when you have done those things listed above, it Probably WONT work first try. I tried it once and got the blank screen and the loud speaker click, restarted the machine and tried again... Green screen of happiness, a restart, and finally ChickHen 5.03.
Currently playing some GBA Mario Kart :)
