your console is already on OFW 4.89 (Sony’s latest) and you cannot downgrade. For most users, sticking with 4.90 or 4.91 HFW is better, as later HEN versions improved stability. The 4.89 version is mostly obsolete now—use it only if you have a specific compatibility need with that firmware base.
Version 4.89 corresponds to Sony’s official firmware (OFW) 4.89. HEN v3.3.0 (the typical bundle for 4.89) was released shortly after Sony’s update to restore exploit functionality.
