A new breakthrough for you Playstation 3 users, especially the latest OFW series, this time has succeeded in Xploit by installing Hybrid Firmware 4.84 or HFW4.84 .

HFW is a modification of OFW which can be installed for all PS3 Models, which allows us to run Xploit for PS3 4.84

With the developments made by these developers, PS3Xploit can function again on firmware 4.83 or 4.84 which previously did not support installing unit games.

So, thank you to all PS3Xploit developers who are at PSX-Place.

(UPDATE) 4.84.2 HFW (Hybrid Firmware) - Restores PS3Xploit Flasher / Tools & PS3Xploit HAN got 4.84 OFW user's

In this HFW4.84.2 we can use the function han functions, such as the HAN installer, PKG Enabler Debug and so on. So basically we can still install unit games for PS3 HFW4.84

What can you do with this HFW 4.84.1 / 4.84.2? 

1. You can use PSN because FW is the latest version. 
2. You can downgrade / Install the CFW on your PS3 if your PS3 has a downgrade / hack (minvercheck 3.55) - (not including CECH-3K and 4K) (The same ability as what you have for 4.82 OFW) 
3. You can use HAN and all the tools that work at 4.82 with this FW. 
4. You can always return to OFW 4.84 ori if desired.
