MailWriter | Setup Mailwriter, allowing writing to the filesystem
Hello,
This tutorial will allow you to set up MailWriter on your PS Vita, and is a stepping stone for many other exploits.
Here is what you require:
Initial setup
Dumping and writing
MailWriter is powerful as in that it can allow both for dumping and writing any file (with some restrictions) from the Vita. If you want to dump a file, send yourself an email starting with" email:send?attach=" and then the filepath of the needed file, then embed it as a link. Make sure to end with a full stop. For example, "email:send?attach=vd0:registry/system.dreg." will dump the registry of the Vita.
To write, rename the file you wish to #0 with no extension. Once done, email it to yourself with the path you want as subject and the #0 file as attachement. For example, a subject of "vd0:registry/system.dreg" will replace your current system registry with your modified system.dreg.
This tutorial will allow you to set up MailWriter on your PS Vita, and is a stepping stone for many other exploits.
