ChickHEN Homebrew Enabler (Latest version: R1) Latest Release
5.03 ChickHEN Homebrew Enabler - Team Typhoon (Article by Granite) So comes the release of the highly anticipated ChickHEN homebrew enabler by Team Typhoon. After 1800 Lines of code, 4 weeks of stressful developing and countless amounts of tests the dawn of a new homebrew era for all the 3000, 2000 and 1000 users is on the horizon. What was said to be impossible by many is now a reality, all styles homebrew are now running on the "unhackable" T88v3 and TA-090 motherboards rolled out by Sony.

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

How do i get the HEN to run on my PSP?

1. First off use the supplied TIFF image and place it in the PSP>PHOTO Directory.
2. Copy h.bin over to the MS ROOT and safely remove device.
2. Scroll over to the PHOTO icon on the XMB and click the ChickHEN folder and wait. (This will not work the first time, you may have to just use a method of loading that works for you but this is what we have found most efficient)
3. If all goes well the screen should blank out and flash green showing that the HEN is loaded and all is well.
4. Wait for your PSP to reboot and check your PSP's system software. It should now display: "5.03 ChickHEN".
5. Scroll on over to GAME and enjoy some Homebrew!

BrokHEN Fixed (Unofficial) – Homebrew for All!

Disclaimer: This is an unofficial fix, please use it at your own risk
A member of our forums, maibrithahn, seems to have fixed the issue with Davee’s HEN release yesterday. You can now execute homebrew if you are on firmware 5.03! Just download the updated package that is attached to this post. While we suggest waiting until Davee releases an official fix we thought the impatient amongst us might want to try it out. Instructions are after the break.

EDIT BY BCMAN
DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT SCREW WITH THE FLASH OR TRY INSTALL CUSTOM FIRMWARE TO THE PSP USING CHICKHEN( UNLESS ITS A PHAT(PSP1000) OR A OLDER SLIM(PSP2000 FIRMWARE ORIGINALLY HAS HAD TO BE 3.95 OR BELOW AT SOME POINT ) OR UR PSP WILL BE PERMINETLY BRICKED AND THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX IT UNLESS U SEND IT TO SONY!!!(THIS APPLIES TO ALL PSP3000 AND BRAND NEW PSP2000 WITH 4.01 OR HIGHER FIRMWARES, U TRY AND U BRICK.)

Awesome to hear that! If I had a job, I'd buy a 3000.

[Asparagus Smith]

Awesome! Great news for those with unhackable PSPs

Next step is a downgrader; I hope that comes along soon

[BCman]

and so, the next gen continues.
cool.

that sounds like a cool quote.

anyways, even if I had the money, I wouldn't buy a 3000 until a downgrader was released, but it's cool seeing these kinds of exploits starting to surface.

[fubarmalone]

yea chickHEN is buggy and wont load homebrew atm, saying that it does boot up everytime for me so is a lot more stable than the TIFF exploit...it shouldn't be long before its fixed though

:-)

sweet <:

If I can at least have stable gpsp on my brite then it will no longer be just a charger/dust gathering device!

[Sparker]

Even if 3000's are close to being hacked, I won't get one unless my 1000 fails me.

[rizzon]

Since the HEN stays in memory even after a power-off does that mean it's safe to remove the TIFF img after the initial "installation" of the HEN?

Well I got homebrew working, someone posted a new h.bin file and now I am running emu on my psp 3000.

Here is the link to the new h.bin file:
