Earlier today, Yifan Lu, a well-known member of the Vita hacking scene famous for the Rejuvenate hack for the Dev Assistants, has announced that a new (native!) Vita homebrew enabler for the latest firmware version, as of writing (3.60), will be arriving tomorrow at "9:00AM UTC".

The new hack, known as "HENKaku", will require the following:

• A Vita/PSTV running 3.60
• A memcard with at least 10MB of free space (internal memory is currently not supported!)
• An FTP client
• An internet connection**

**Offline support is now available! Launch the exploit straight from the email app without the need for internet access at all! See the unofficial release thread for more details. (Internet connection still required for installation)


This is a small paragraph of Yifan Lu himself explaining what the properties of this new homebrew enabler does:

HENkaku simply lets you install homebrew as bubbles in LiveArea. It is a native hack that disables the filesystem sandbox. It installs molecularShell, a fork of VitaShell that lets you access the memory card over FTP and install homebrew packages (which we create as VPK files). With vita-toolchain, developers have access to the same system features licensed developers have access to as well as undocumented features that licensed developers cannot use (including overclocking the processors).

The hack has been released at http://henkaku.me ~ Furthermore, the hack is said to be exclusive to 3.60, and there is to be no backports for the time being.

HENkaku.me is a go! Thanks to whoever hosted this.

henkaku.me works on my old PSVita as on my slim PSVita (and much faster than before and without failures!)

There are difference with henkaku.me?

All I did was switch my user agent to PS Vita in my PC's browser, then I grabbed all the necessary files to "mirror" the exploit part of the site in case henkaku.me goes down as well (but I highly doubt that!)

He hosted a mirror of xyz (or .me) domain on his website in case it would be pulled again, afaik.

Who pulled it in the first place? Do you know, @yifan_lu?

According to Wolo, someone reported it as Malware/Virus site and the hoster took it down without confirming the report (because its a .xyz domain).
So they reuploaded it to .me, so hopefully it wont be taken down as quickly by a bogus malware report.

(because its a .xyz domain).

Isnt this a TLD which is owned by Google ?

What region are located in? And do you have a PS3?

 

[VitaType]

Using HENkaku-webserver became a lot easier/faster to install now (14hrs ago).

 

[naughtyotsel]

Petz Saddle Club is free in the US region, not sure if there's anything better

 

[naughtyotsel]

alright got vhbl working

 

[V0ltr0n]

Okay, so im behind a nat router i discovered. It rejects the connection whenever i try to log into it so I can open the proper port. Can someone please help me with this, or maybe someone knows how to ftp things to the vita without a router? I never messed around with routers much and am very lost. If a kind soul out there can help me, i'd greatly appreciate it. Ive done some of my own research and know what needs to be done, i just dont know how. I wish there was a way to transfer the files without having to ftp through a router.

 

[naughtyotsel]

this seems to be better than vhbl...
