The long awaited exploit for the PS Vita has finally been given a release date. When we first received news of the exploit, we were told it would likely release in 1-2 years, but luckily Vita hacker TheFloW mangaed to find a second exploit for 3.68 and get us an earlier release. The exploit will work on firmware versions 3.65 to 3.68 you do not need an official Sony memory card or an internet connection to use it. If you are on 3.65, you will be able to install HENkaku Ensō, but unluckily those on 3.67 and above won't be able to. I've included a guide for updating to stock 3.65 from 3.61/3.63.

Updating to 3.65

I just finished installing it. Now I need to figure out how to install enso.

@Luchi_g101 I found theflow's faq quite comprehensive

Use the enso 3.65 vpk if you are on 3.65, if you are on 3.67/3.68 no support for enso .

Change directory to the h-encore folder in terminal and use the key to encrypt all folders that are listed below using:

psvimg-create -n X -K YOUR_KEY X PCSG90096/X

Where X is (yes, repeat it 4 times or write a script for that):

• app
• appmeta
• license
• savedata

The folder h-encore/PCSG90096 should then contain sce_sys and all 4 folders from above, and within these folders you should find files called X.psvimg and X.psvmd, where X has the same name as the folder. Backup this folder, since if everything has been done correctly, you don't need to redo all the steps to install it onto another device with the same PSN account.

can someone explain this bit for me? Been trying to figure out this one with no success.

OK now I have enso installed. I'm trying to install sd2vita now. however all the guides tell me to copy ux0 to my sd card. my ux0 folder is like 60gb!!! is there no way to bypass this.

Also vitashell usb connection doesn't seem to show me my ux0 folder. I might need to use ftp.

You just change the "X" in that line to app. then use it on cmd. Then do it 3 more times. change the X to appmeta, paste and run the exe. Change to license. run exe. Change to savedata, run exe. done.

Press start in vita shell and change the USB device to memory card or imc0 for internal memory

Thanks for the help dude. Turns out I hadn't set my windows to showing me "system files". I done that, and it's showing up.

Now need to find a way to avoid transfering all of ux0. Because mine is literally 53gb. It would take ages to move to sd card. I'm planning to use both sd2vita and gamecard in conjunction.

You need to unpack the whole psvimg.zip. and use command prompt, from that folder. Use the same line of code that theflow has on, but change the X in all instances 4 times.

Your line of code should look something like this. 3 instances of X
psvimg-create -n app -K xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx(yourID) app PCSG90096/app
