So I bought an Original PS Vita from gamestop, it's preowned but it's on 3.51 firmware. So I have looked through alot of threads, I am just wondering, do I NEED a memory card to upgrade the firmware? or can I upgrade it from 3.51 to 3.60 without a memory card?
I ask this because ALL the stores within 20 mile radius of my house had no PS Vita memory cards. So I ordered one last night from the gamestop website.
Also, if I CAN upgrade the firmware without my memory card, how do I do that? Do I just follow these instructions?
This is for users still under 3.60 looking to get a piece of HENkaku quickly and easily, without any hassle. This guide will take you all the way to the golden firmware, 3.60, through the use of Yifan_Lu's DNS server! It's seriously a very easy process, and extremely noob-friendly!
1) Go to Settings -> Network -> Wifi Settings -> Advanced Settings
2) Under DNS Settings, select 'Manual', and set the Primary DNS to 212.47.229.76.
3) Now you may go back to the root Settings menu and choose 'System Update' -> 'Update using Wifi'.
4) Only update if it says "Firmware 3.60 (変革 Compatible)", otherwise you should follow these steps again and ensure any other settings are not conflicting the process!
5) After you have downloaded and installed the 3.60 update, you are now free to start setting up HENkaku!
Last question, upgrading my firmware from 3.51 to 3.60 using the above process, is there ANY POSSIBLE WAY that it can break/brick my Vita? I don't have money to buy another.
Thanks in advance!
