I am offering a service to install VHBL, TN-V or ARK bubbles on Vitas or PSTVs. This service is offered for free.
Consoles which require this service fall into two categories.
- Consoles which have been updated past 3.55 firmware and can no longer create bubbles with the email exploit.
- Consoles which are still on 3.52 firmware or below and thus are vulnerable to the email exploit, and are activated with a PSN account, but lack a PSP game or demo to convert into a bubble and have no PS3 to transfer
If your console is on firmware 3.52 or earlier and you have a PSP game already on your console or you have a PS3, then you do not need this service! You already have everything you need to make your own ePSP bubbles.
It is recommended that consoles on 3.55 or older firmware get ARK or TN-V. However these eCFW are blocked on newer firmwares, so consoles on 3.57 or 3.60 should use VHBL.
The methods I can use are described in
https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-get-vhbl-on-3-60-three-methods.433681/
I am able to use the account sharing and account swapping methods.
Account sharing
For me to give you a bubble with this method, I need the login details to the PSN account associated your Vita.
Use a temporary password, change it after you get your bubble!
You must have registered with this account a PSP game which can be installed on your Vita. In some account regions there are free demos which can be installed on your Vita such as Echochrome and Ape Quest but sometimes this is not the case.
I will then send a QCMA backup to you, which you can install back to your Vita. The PSP game will be replaced with the bubble of choice.
If you're on an older firmware like 3.55 or 3.57, this method requires that you have a PS3 so you can activate your Vita or that your Vita is already activated.
If you are confident to use this method, please use private messaging to keep details secure.
Account swapping
This method does not require sharing PSN details. I will instead create a new PSN account for you and will supply a QCMA backup containing your bubble of choice.
Generally the PSN account will be US, the basegame will be the Echochrome Demo and the login details will be randomised but this can be specified on request.
However, you will need to switch your Vita account to the new account I have created when you want to use this bubble. This typically means you have to format your memory card whenever you want to switch accounts or purchase a new one to dedicate to the new account.
If you're on an older firmware like 3.55 or 3.57, this method requires that you have a PS3 so you can activate your Vita with your new account.
Because this method doesn't require any necessarily secure input from you, you can request it in the thread and I can PM you the account details and QCMA backup.
That said I will also accept requests for this method in private messages, if you want to keep the details of the account private.
What do I do with the QMCA backup?
First you must make sure your Vita is currently registered with the account the QCMA backup is for.
You need to connect your Vita to QCMA. If your Vita is on an old firmware such as 3.55 or 3.57, use VitaUpdateBlocker.
I can send one of two kinds of QCMA backup. I can send the bubble alone, or I can send a full system backup to you. You must make clear what kind of backup you want.
Restoring a full system backup will erase everything on your memory card, unlike restoring a single bubble.
However, I can bundle homebrew and the PSTV whitelist hack if you request a full system backup.
Choose carefully!
Bubble only
I send you will be a zip file with a hexadecimal file name such as 0123456789abcdef.zip.
Inside this zip will be a folder with the same name.
You must merge this folder with the folder in Documents/PS Vita/PGAME
If this folder does not exist, or a different folder is in its place, the account of the QCMA backup and the Vita are different so you will not be able to restore the backup.
You must also get the correct save file for the exploit you are running.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/u7277u78a47x8p3/VHBL_pboot_unrestricted.zip
Inside each of these zip files is a folder with a name such as VHBL01234.
This folder needs to be placed inside Documents/PS Vita/PSAVEDATA/(hexadecimal)
If you're using TN-V, you also need to place 660.PBP (the official PSP 6.60 firmware update) in its save data folder.
Right click the QCMA icon in your system tray and click refresh database. You should now be able to copy the PSP game and the save to your console. The bubble will appear on your home screen afterwards.
If you're using TN-V, you need to hold R the first time you use the bubble and install the 6.60 PSP firmware.
If you want to get some PSP homebrews, start

Full system backup
I send you will be a zip file with a hexadecimal file name such as 0123456789abcdef.zip.
Inside this zip will be a folder with the same name.
You must merge this folder with the folder in Documents/PS Vita/SYSTEM
If this folder does not exist, or a different folder is in its place, the account of the QCMA backup and the Vita are different so you will not be able to restore the backup.
Right click the QCMA icon in your system tray and click refresh database. You should now be able to restore the backup to your console. The bubble will appear on your home screen afterwards.
