6.35 Hen Pro signed: Run the Hen directly from the XMB
Since we started signing homebrews, we’ve been seeing a continuous flow of releases (by the way, check this thread in which you’ll find a bunch of signed homebrews, thanks to toBsucht)
As reported by many sites already, liquidzigong released a signed version of 6.35Pro, the Homebrew enabler made by developers Virtuous flame and coldbird. In simple words, if you’re on 6.35, you don’t need to run the Hen through the sukkiri Demo, you can run it directly from the XMB, which, let’s admit it, is extremely convenient.
Now, I see questions coming. Yesterday, I did say that homebrew signing was only for user mode applications. But the Hen gives you kernel access… Did I lie yesterday? Not at all. The Hen is a user mode application that uses a Kernel exploit in order to gain Kernel access (if the Hen was a Kernel application in the first place, we couldn’t run it from HBL…). So, the signature allows devs to run a Usermode application which triggers the Kernel exploit, and returns directly to the XMB in Kernel mode.
Another question is: why would we use the Hen now that we can sign homebrews? Well, here the answer is the same as “why would we use a Hen rather than HBL”? Some homebrews require Kernel access and won’t run even if we sign them. Some people want plugins. Some people want isos…
Also for those who wonder, although the “signing” bit will be tricky to patch for Sony, the Kernel exploit used in the Hen (it’s the same exploit in TN Hen and 6.35Pro, of course) is extremely easy to patch, and if Sony take the time to release a new firmware update, the Hen will not work on it anymore, signed or not.
I tested it on my PSP 3000 in 6.35, and it works fine, although some PSP2000 owners have reported some failures running this version of the Hen.

pspident doesnt work for soem reason when u try to sign it even on pscrypter it says its a fake prx tht means it cant be signed in lamen terms besides im preaty sure even if we could it wouldnt run yet
pspident needs kernel access……….so no signing……………yet
Here’s a video of my newest installer running. Hope you like. 6.35PRO HEN is awesome and now more DEVs are concentrating on it’s development and hinting around the idea of a PRO-A CFW… Could this be like a CFWEnabler or Prome.-4 for 6.35OFW? I guess we wait and see. I’m very happy with the 6.35PRO HEN. Enjoy the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1ygoTKhhv8
Hi guys…. I’ve read all the 161 preceeding comments but I couldn’t find the ultimate answer.
I’ve a PSP 3004 with 6.20 TN-HEN B with Prome Isoloader, but it looks like that this project got to a dead end, while everybody is now working on 6.35PRO HEN. Is this impression true?
Should I update to 6.35 and install the new signed HEN? Is it offering a better and larger compatibility with backup isos? (on 6.20 HEN-B I’ve a couple of ISO not working…)
thanks for your advices…
no stay 6.35 is stoped project they r makin a cfw for all models atleats thts what i heard tn is realsing a tn-c soon id stay at lowest firmware tilltht cfw comes out
not sure I got what you mean… but I think I’ll keep my 6.20TN for the moment
cheers,
The developers of 6.35 PRO HEN have said that they’ve moved on to making a CFW, so development of the HEN is currently stopped. Meanwhile, I haven’t seen anything from TN in a while; he’s supposed to be working on TN-C HEN, but there’s no official date on that.
I only have 6.35, so I don’t know for sure, but here’s my impression of the current situation: 6.20 TN HEN seems to have better compatibility with homebrew software and plugins, while 6.35 PRO HEN seems to have better compatibility running game backups (ISOs). You can upgrade from 6.20 to 6.35, but downgrading from 6.35 is currently not (and might never be) possible. Also, there are two ISO loaders for 6.20 (Prometheus and OpenIdea), so it’s very possible that it could catch up to 6.35 in the future in terms of backup compatibility. Oh yeah, and there are two PSX-capable HENs announced in development for 6.20; I don’t think there’s been any for 6.35.
So, my analysis: if the ONLY thing you want from a HEN is to play game backups , then consider upgrading. If you want the other benefits of a fully-featured HEN, then you should probably stay at 6.20.
* a 6.35 cfw
They are working on a 6.35PRO-A CFW or something like that…. So 6.35PRO HEN is the way to go. It has network access as well for online gaming and psn store. Still no psx support and of course so iso/cso’s may not play but I’m happy with it. Check a few posts above for my installers if you decide to upgrade. I had a blast playing Resistance online again for the 1st time in a long time. Plus with my installer you get tempAR. So go own noobs with a little hack action. 😀 Why not? LOLz
It’s uncertain whether the supposed 6.35 CFW will work for “unhackable” PSPs i.e. 3000s, Gos, certain models of 2000s. Some people say that if it’s not like traditional CFW and doesn’t overwrite anything in flash0 (which you should NOT DO on unhackable PSPs), then it’ll be fine for everyone. However, I haven’t heard any official word on whether this is the case. So, if you’ve got a 1000 or hackable 2000, then new CFW is definitely good news. If you don’t, then don’t get too excited.
actually ur wrong the cfw they r purposing is like the 5.03 gen for hen remember the glory fay 🙂 thts why i think its gonna be all models cuz its some what like gen for hen 5.03 which was for all models
