TheFlow Announces 3.67 Hack for Vita
[1/3]

Exactly a year ago on the 18.2.17 I found an user entry point.
Two weeks ago when my university holidays began, I had time for the vita again and told myself to finally hack 3.67.
Just a day after, I found a kernel vulnerability.
For those unaware, approximately a year and a half ago, developer yifan lu released the most widespread Vita hack, called Henkaku, for firmware 3.60. Sony, of course, quickly updated their firmware and fixed part of the initial exploit. In that time, we've had multiple releases from various developers, spanning from simple Retroarch ports by the libretro team, to OpenGL accelerated homebrew by Rinnegatamante, to NoNpDRM and Adrenaline by TheFlow.
And now, TheFlow has announced that he's successfully found a full chain exploit for 3.67 on the Vita! Of course, there's a catch; it won't be released any time soon. With university beginning once again for TheFlow, he simply won't have enough time to fully finish the exploit so it's user-ready for all. In the meantime, TheFlow has announced he may be able to port Henkaku Enso to 3.65, available only for users already on 3.60 and Henkaku.
This is tremendous news for the Vita scene, one of the biggest wants from the community since Henkaku released and Sony updated the firmware with new keys has been the ability to play 3.61+ games, and now it appears it may come quicker than the years most thought! While we may have to wait a year or more for the release, it's still great to hear there's hope for the future.
