Yifan Lu Announces HENKaku - A New Native Vita Homebrew Enabler for 3.60.



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.

Oh yeah, where do i find the file in Ur0 to modify? XD
Well since it seems in the whitelist hack v2 you only modify app.db, you will need to go to ur0:shell/db/app.db to find, dump, edit, and restore it.

Would anyone mind posting their edited whitelist file? Want to give this a crack. :D

Edit: Nevermind, found one, works great. :)

That would most likely be against the rules here anyways, glad you worked it out

Yup probably. Quick google search sorted it out, was as easy as backing up the old one, and replacing the one on the PS TV via Filezilla.

Wait, if we can write to ur0: doesn't that mean we can just edit the default whitelist on our PC, then overwrite it using molecularShell?

Yup. :)


Also it looks like realboy isn't compatible with PSTV.
