A payload does not support the same firmware as the exploit

Medium risk~ Reported

What you see

  • The exploit finishes, then the next ELF fails or shuts the system down.

What it means

This is about HEN and other payloads. An exploit that works on your firmware does not mean every payload does: each ELF has its own firmware support. This needs checking for each payload and firmware, and it is not confirmed for every console.

What to do

Check each ELF's support in its release notes

Tell official releases apart from experimental ports

For example, a community port of etaHEN says on its releases page that it is unofficial and not an official etaHEN release, and some of its builds are marked experimental.

Source: Unofficial etaHEN port for 11.00–13.60: releases ↗

As a check, load only the components you need first

Add optional services only after that works.

When to stop

An unofficial port is not the official project

Support announced by an unofficial port should not be credited to the official project.
