Hi!
New to the forums, not new to PS hacking but this problem is something I can't really get my head around. I'll try to explain.
I have three different Vitas at the moment. One is mine, we can call that Alpha. One is my brother's, we can call that Beta. I also recently bought one for my gf, let's call that one Gamma.
Original setup:
Alpha: 16 GB Vita memcard. 3.65 h-encore non-permanent install.
Beta: 8 GB Vita memcard. 3.60 Enso permanent install.
Gamma: 4GB Vita memcard and a 32 GB Sandisk SD2Vita. 3.60 Enso permanent install.
First, I did the switcheroos of all memory cards so that Alpha would be the top one, with the 32 GB sd2vita and the 4 GB memstick. The other ones would be kicked up a notch so that the Beta would get 16 and the Gamma would get the 8. Went fine enough, some trouble with the Alpha and sd2vita first-time installations but nothing I can't handle. Let's forget about that one for now. The Beta went smoothly, he got his 16 from me by backing up his 8 with QCMA and installing everything onto his new 16 after that. Savefiles were rescued using Savegr beforehand.
What I'm having trouble with is the Gamma one, with the now-8 GB card and a 3.60 firmware. I did what I did with the others regarding QCMA and backups and such, but before installing any backup or anything else I reset it to system settings and formatted the 8 card.
I might have missed some steps in my description but I am stuck in a situation where the Gamma starts up with the Molecular Shell startup screen but thereafter behaves like a normal 3.60 OFW. I try to start Vitashell or anything else and it just kicks me out, like running homebrew on a 3.65 without starting the exploit first.
What I need is a way to make this Vita run homebrew again, so that any issue that occurs thereafter can be dealt with through other FW or just plain old Vitashell. It's so strange to have a Vita boot up as if hacked, and then act as if never hacked at all and with reluctance of ever getting hacked again, at that.
Please help!

- Rebooting doesn't work.
- Putting it into safemode and rebuilding the database doesn't work.
- Putting the 8GB memcard into another Vita and deleting id0.dat through Henkaku Settings and thereafter letting the gamma rebuild the database doesn't work.
- Formatting the card doesn't work.
- Trying to enable h-encore to run homebrew doesn't work, since what I'm trying to do is enable H-encore through henkaku.xyz but the browser keeps dying, even without entering any address at all.
- Injecting a previous QCMA backup of any sort doesn't work, since it demands a SEN connection and it won't allow me to log in.
