.....At lease I don't get to see tthe chinese characters anymore. +Rep noldor

I spoofed my version to 5.50 so i can go to playstation store

--------------------------------

it didnt work

 

[shikamaru]

As I have found out, it doesn't tell the PSP what version it is, it only displays it on screen. Internally, the PSP knows what FW it is on and That's 5.03 (for HEN users)

 

[HEN-A]

Of course it is not going to work.The PSN store still recognizes you our running HEN lol.

 

[shikamaru]

No it doesn't recognize you as 5.03HEN, it recognizes you as 5.03 OFW

It doesn't look for system Settings FW, it looks in the PSP flash0 where details of the FW is stored and because HEN doesn't change that, the PSP is recognized as 5.03 OFW

 

[HEN-A]

Sorry thats what I meant to say -.-. Since HEN requires 5.03 the PSN store can recognize your frimware version.

 

[shikamaru]

There's no way of PSN playing on HEN alone without plugin support or CFWe

video for changing version name
YouTube - Spoofing Version in ChickHEN R2 - Works for PSP3K

found it at youtube

 

[shikamaru]

It might help those who are more visual learners or noobs who don't understand the instructions on first post. I think that link should be added to first post as a video on how to do it

davee wantet to fix that prob in the HEN r3... i think, with the next version it's possible to use the psn...but i'm not sure about that...

 

[shikamaru]

Yeah, there's gonna be a version spoofer and plugin support so if one doesn't work, use the other to spoof your version

 

[Mr.B]

when i did mine it wouldnt work i changed the 5..03 to 0...00 and the C.h.i.c.k.h.e.n. to B.R.E.N.D.H.E.N and replace the h bin but the psp just freezes when i go to the slim tiff in the chickhen folder . But when i use the old one it works just fine can someone plz help me??

 

[xiemphongthan]

Did you overwrite anything but the "."?

 

[Mr.B]

nope all i did was replace each one didnt touch any "."

 

[xiemphongthan]

Try editing it again. Or maybe it's pure luck. It has decreased your chance of booting HEN xD

 

[shikamaru]

Also so, check that each '.' has the value 00 and so the value would be something like

?? 00 ?? 00 ?? 00 etc

i messed that up one too and changed all of the '.' values to 00. and then it worked finally

Okay, I just want to tell you guys that Firmware spoofing might have a possibility of decreasing the chance of loading the HEN.
It took me 9 hours to boot up 5.03 Hypercor R2

 

[xiemphongthan]

LOL. Anyway, i think it depends on the slim.tiff on my PSP. No matter whatever I edit, it always boot at the same try, with the same unique method by me xD.

that's not really true...the only thing, u change in the h.bin is just the name, that is shown under 'system information' believe me, i tried lots of things and my HEN always startet normal...the only thing was, that it did't showed me the name, i wanted to have...
