I just tried installing 3 VPKs (Adrenaline, PSP Homebrew Browser, and Miku Vu) by placing them in a folder that I had created on my sd card then installing them with Vitashell. However, I received an error and only Adrenaline was installed successfully. I then tried moving the other two VPKs to the ux0 data folder and installing again but I received a different error. I then tried inserting my sd card into my pc, extracting the contents of the VPKs, copying and pasting them in the data folder, putting my sd card back in my Vita, using Vitashell to move the two folders to the app folder, and refreshing LiveArea but that didn't work either. Is there any other possible way to fix these issues or alternative methods of installing VPKs?
 
Impossible to know how to help unless you give more specific. You received an error, but what error? You received another error, cool, but what error?

when I tried installing from the folder I made I got error 0x8001002F and when I tried installing from data I got 0xFFFFFFFE, although I'm pretty sure I got a different error the first time I tried

The 0x8001002F error is often associated with fake SD card or dying SD cards/Memory Cards. Swap your SD/Memory Card to another one and check if the error continues, if it does not, then your SD card is either fake or dying.

If you are using Sony's official Memory Card, then for sure is it dying.

Just to be sure, backup your SD/Memory Card contents as well, as either cases means that some forms of data corruptions are imminent.

just ran an H2testw test on my sd card and got a bunch of errors. guess I'll buy a different card and see if maybe that works
