as long as the firmware can be downgraded to 3.60, you should redo everything, then downgrade. I'm pretty sure you need an account for anything above 3.60, since you have to use qcma. the only systems that would have a base firmware higher than 3.60 would be Japanese systems afaik. they're like the special edition models that are different colors.

Yeah I got a Japanese one. Still dunno how I lost the CFW when formatting should have apparently kept the Enso?

Need to uninstall enso when you downgrade/upgrade firmware, you can format the system and do the setup again, and then just keep it like that after setting up cfw.

you'll have to check on vitadevwiki for which skus can't be downgraded to 3.60. I think they're all different colored ones other than black.

I've already done the job, so I know it works on this unit, the question is why I lost it when I asked if I would lose if it I formatted and was told that I was good to go ahead :sleep:

you shouldn't have lost it. you just don't have vita shell. did you remove the sd card when you formatted. the tai and config should still be on the system in ur0. I've done this myself, so I know it doesn't remove it.

    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
