Earlier today, Yifan Lu, a well-known member of the Vita hacking scene famous for the Rejuvenate hack for the Dev Assistants, has announced that a new (native!) Vita homebrew enabler for the latest firmware version, as of writing (3.60), will be arriving tomorrow at "9:00AM UTC".

The new hack, known as "HENKaku", will require the following:

• A Vita/PSTV running 3.60
• A memcard with at least 10MB of free space (internal memory is currently not supported!)
• An FTP client
• An internet connection**

**Offline support is now available! Launch the exploit straight from the email app without the need for internet access at all! See the unofficial release thread for more details. (Internet connection still required for installation)


This is a small paragraph of Yifan Lu himself explaining what the properties of this new homebrew enabler does:

HENkaku simply lets you install homebrew as bubbles in LiveArea. It is a native hack that disables the filesystem sandbox. It installs molecularShell, a fork of VitaShell that lets you access the memory card over FTP and install homebrew packages (which we create as VPK files). With vita-toolchain, developers have access to the same system features licensed developers have access to as well as undocumented features that licensed developers cannot use (including overclocking the processors).

The hack has been released at http://henkaku.me ~ Furthermore, the hack is said to be exclusive to 3.60, and there is to be no backports for the time being.

Switched to a 16gb card,no joe.

I have the same situation, probably a server issue?

 

[metroid maniac]

Is that possible? I believe that was patched in 3.55, no?

Only the email exploit that is used to install it.

Using the new MolecularShell, you can access the ur0: partition, where app.db is stored, and overwrite it with the newly patched app.db.

If someone gets ARK / TN to run with this, that'd be fucking sweet, so we can just FTP our shit easily.

Finally working!! Amazing!

How do you erase Homebrew? Just erasing the bubble? Or there are any residual files?

You already can FTP... But hey, at least now we can write to PSP/GAME.

Confirming that this works btw

Not that I wasn't confident, but just had to clarify.

I have 3.60 and a 60gb psvita memory card yet the browser keeps giving me the same error as everyone else. Rebooting the vita does not make it work, it might just be that the website is crashing from all the people trying to download the exploit.

Oh well fuck it, can't say I didn't try.

 

[Hicip1956]

How exactly is everone rebooting? With the system recovery menu or holding the power button?

Need help, do u think i can make homebrew with psm dev with C# and install his on ps vita ?

 

[Shadowfied]

Yeah but it's still a hassle dealing with ARK / TN IMO. From what I remember it took a decent time go get the FTP client and everything up smoothly. And yeah, writing to GAME.

So, since you can apparently update the PS TV through USB, I wonder if the molecule shell can read the USB contents and allow us to copy shit that way too..

No. You will need the Dev Assistant if you want to do that, and that requires 3.51 or lower.

Arf, not any option for make homebrew with C# ?

 

[Shadowfied]

Also, took about 10 tries for me to get it working on PS TV, one try on my Phat Vita (32 gig memory card)

Ah, I see, I didn't know that there was a second part of the hack. Good to know.

 

[JFalcon]

Is it possible to play psp games with this? I have a psp but I'm not a fan of the small screen.

I'm assuming that when you say C# you mean you want to make something in Unity for PSM? If so, you will have to get the Dev Assistant for Unity on a 3.51 or lower Vita, as there will be absolutely no way to make it into a bubble for the home screen. Sorry!

Not until somebody else makes an eCFW exploit for 3.60.

 

[jen171995]

For anyone who keeps getting errors, just keep trying. It took me an hour of refreshing the page to get it to download. But it's worth it!
