ChickHEN Homebrew Enabler
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 environment.
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!
[Can it break my PSP?]ChickHEN works differently to all previous HEN's. Instead of flashing to flash0, it resides entirely in RAM
to prevent any damage to the system. Sure enough, you can run applications in HEN to flash stuff but I strongly
recommend against it. ChickHEN comes with no warranty, no guarantee and you run this software under your own
responsibility. Flashing onto your PSP WILL BRICK IT!!
As stated, HEN comes with no warrenty, and this software should not be used in conjunction with
homebrew which can countervent any copyright laws.

HEN Compatibility [Unofficial and RC2][HEN] Read this before you brick your PSP
What you can and can not do with ChickHEN
A must-read if you don't want to damage your PSP[Introduction]Just after the release of HEN, people are already trying to flash all sorts of things to it. Even though the readme clearly stated the following, "
Flashing onto your PSP WILL BRICK IT!!", I feel it's necessary to do a more in-depth explanation of this situation. Note that the HEN itself shouldn't be able to brick your PSP, but that any of the programs you run can very easily do so.
When a PSP does not have a firmware installed, or if the firmware files have been damaged, your PSP is called a 'brick'. This term is used to describe the state in which your PSP cannot successfully load the system files and boot into the firmware, thus rendering it as useless as a
brick.
This is something you want to avoid happening to your PSP, and this guide aims at helping you achieve that. Note however, that it's still fully your own responsibility on what you do with your PSP. As you violate the Sony license agreement by using this HEN, it can't be guaranteed that your PSP will still fall under warranty. In this case, Sony can charge relatively high sums of money to
unbrick your PSP, which in turn will bring it up the to latest 5.50 firmware, rendering the TIFF exploit useless.
[Flashing files in general]Those old-school sceners will remember the flashing of themes and other goodies. No matter how stable this works under custom firmwares, it's not the same as HEN. You need to take in to account that you need to keep the
official firmware working, as if you reboot you return to it and you need to pass it to enter HEN again. For example, PRX files included in themes won't be encrypted, and even though the HEN core will patch the kernel to allow them to load, on reboot, returning to official firmware, you will be sitting with a brick as the files are now
'damaged'.
[Flashing entire firmwares]In general, flashing custom firmwares on PSP's other than the TA-088v3/PSP-3000 should work. I'm not going to go in depth on how to do this, but as long as you're careful and using well-known applications tested by other people on the HEN (it's helpful to have Pandora at hand while testing), you should be alright.
For the TA-088v3/PSP-3000 it's another story however. Both of these PSP's can't handle custom IPL blocks, which makes custom firmwares and Pandora run. And if they don't work, it will get stuck at them, and never finish loading the actual firmware. This also ends up as a brick. This is the main reason why you shouldn't just blatantly flash stuff like this on to your PSP. A PSP-3000 can be recognized with ease, like it's brighter screen, and different home button. TA-088v3 is a different story however, as it looks like all the other Slim's. One of the best ways to figure this out is using jas0nuk's pspident application, which can be found
here. Simply run this like any other homebrew and it will show what motherboard you're equipped with. Anything higher than TA-088v3 is not able to run custom firmware, or install any of the older firmwares (say, under 5.00).
If it does support custom firmware however, it doesn't mean you don't need to be cautious. A good idea would be to make Pandora using the usual tools, just like you would under custom firmware. This will significantly decrease the chance of anything going wrong.
[Breaking the TIFF exploit]Finally, there is a slightly less critical issue that can occur, but it needs to be taken in to account. Like I said before, I suggest you don't flash anything at all, and just wait for the things you want to be made flashless. Like waiting for CXMB to work on the HEN to use your precious themes. However, if you, for whatever reason, flashed a file which didn't break the official firmware, like the waves, you might end up with the TIFF no longer launching, for the simple reason that the exploit was build to run on an unmodified PSP. Keep in mind that if these files are damaged or incorrect, they will still cause a full brick.
[Determining homebrew that flashes]In general, no files will be flashed without the user being acknowledged. Just keep an eye on what you run, always read the readmes and you should be fine.
[Can I flash ... ?]Short answer:
NO. Long answer: You should ask around and wait for the opinion of experienced developers (I'll try to answer some of the questions regarding this aswell). But even then, I can't stop suggesting against it. There are lots of things you don't need to test to know. Like the fact unsigned PRX's won't load on official firmware, and that a custom IPL block won't load on the TA-088v3/PSP-3000.
Don't do pointless tests to see if they work, there are so many things that can be worked out using just theory, and there is no need to waste a costy PSP for that.
Thanks for reading, and have fun with the ChickHEN.
