I mean games that install that firmware when you boot them.

What if I already have said game? duh

I have a VitaTV in storage I can't get to right now.

Well, if a new firmware is released by the time you get your Vita TV, you can simply download the 3.60 update file from the internet. (You can currently download it from Sony's website.)
That way, you can still update to 3.60 later on.

Download the 3.60 file right now. (I did) you can update the Vita TV via USB.

Could you explain how to update the Vita TV via USB?

This exploit does not have the required privileges for that. This is not a kernel exploit or a CFW. A lot more research is not necessary for that and the talent in the Vita scene doesn't care for it.

Source?
As far as I can tell, HENkaku won't pass on privileges required for piracy. That doesn't mean they aren't obtained somewhere down the line.
(Though this speculation is kind of pointless anyway since we can just take a peek 12 hours from now...)

If such a kernel exploit existed it would already be working on Rejuvenate.

Here is what I forsee, AT@T will have a sudden rise of people paying for their cheapest prepaid plan for the Vita 3G to load this exploit wherever they are.

Not necessarily?

This exploit and Rejuvenate are completely independent. Rejuvenate, for instance, could not install anything to your Vita proper. It works solely within the PSM development application (So it was fairly restricted in that regard). Not to make any claims that this will open up the Vita, but it is already operating with fewer restrictions than Rejuvenate.

^This, I had the same toughts on the matter. this exploit opens up doors to run exploits to gain further access to the system as the access will be less restricted than PSM was.

Nice.. will love to get this going on my PSTV.

Choon555 · Jul 28, 2016

Quick question, will this allow custom whitelists for the PSTV or is it best not to update yet?

Should support the v2 whitelist hack yes.

insidexdeath · Jul 28, 2016

I remember Yifan lu asked for donations because she had someone who could help in opening up the Vita. Not sure, if she was funded, but this could probably be the reason why this exists in the first place.

Anyhow, the fact that this allows you to install native Vita homebrew in the Live Area could probably mean it's actually a kernel exploit. This is merely a speculation, but we will know for sure in the next couple of hours hopefully.

Choon555 · Jul 28, 2016

Could this allow one to (that's gonna be pretty specific) setup some kind of "dummy" camera on, say, the PSTV so that it returns Something when a game tries to access it, because apparently that's what makes Tearaway crash on the PSTV, and that's the only thing that prevents it from actually running on the system...

RetroVortex · Jul 28, 2016

Ok. So I think I might be the first to notice and ask this.
I notice in the guide it asks for .vpk files, but most of the homebrew is .velf files.
How do we convert from one to the other?
(never ran vita homebrew just ecfw stuff)

streetbrawler123 · Jul 28, 2016

Okey I am So HYPED !!!!!!!!
hopefully this will enable Snes/Gba Emulation

Jhyrachy · Jul 28, 2016

what if you are on 3.20 with a PSTV?

It's wise to wait, or is better to install TNV/ARK as a bubble and then update?
