actually, you'll have ux0 even without a memory card. this is the way I have my pstv set up. it has no memory card, and ux0 still exists. it's where I installed molecular shell and a few other apps to get the usb connection going.

Ok good. So it is safe to assume that i dont have to buy a Vita stick to get Henkaku+MS going. I just ordered mines and it will be on 3.51 1000 series 3g model.

u might need a memory card if the vita has no internal memory card. all I know is that the pstv does which is what I've set up.

looks like the vita phats have no internal memory. the slim and pstv does though. I own a slim and a pstv, so I'm covered.

I actually thought all vitas had internal memory. I know pstv's do since I'm memory card less, and I have molecular shell and a few other apps installed to internal memory. I had to look up the vita phats and slims though. I just got my sd2vita in the mail. the tip of it sticks out just a little bit for u to hold on to if u want to remove it from the system. only the micro sd card slot makes a clicking sound from what I've seen. I plan to install enso this weekend on the vita after installing it to the pstv last weekend.

All Vita's have internal memory, but the OLED model doesn't have 1GB mounted like the Slim and PSTV does.

Tried to install Enso on my Vita, and it said "os0 modifications detected". It wouldn't install even though I tried spoofing to 3.60, or disabling the spoof option entirely.
I think I used VitaRW earlier on.

You need to let it install 3.60 again, it should've prompted you to do so after giving you the notice.

Note it won't reset do anything but reinstall the system firmware, all your games and saves and things will be intact.

I probably did modifications just to install Package Installer.
BTW, @DinohScene just told me to "press yes to install and it'll rebuild the database". Does it really rebuild the database when it installs 3.60?

yes, but I have a new problem. I'm trying to reinstall enso, but I get an error: "mbr was detected, but the checksum doesn't match."


Hello mate was hoping you could help me as you are the only person I have seen to have this problem.
"MBR detected but checksum doesn't match"

note I'm on enso henkaku (I bought this Vita pre hacked) Big mistake btw !!!

Tbh i wouldnt mind hacking it from scratch (even tho its a ball ache) as then I know i have installed everything correctly and to the right paths.
I'm on vita 1103 and have no official memory card so have to use the MLTHaKu method from this guide https://gbatemp.net/threads/mlthaku-install-henkaku-with-sd2vita-without-memory-card.482254/

anyway I'm wondering if I should go and reinstall this or just wipe the system and do a fresh install as you have the experience I wonder what you would think is the best option here.

PS: I have just reinstalled Enso vitashell and adrenaline through MLTHaKu on brand new correctly formatted SD card, trying to reinstall Enso gives me the checksum error.
many thanks

this happened on my pstv after I had to uninstall enso thinking usbmc wasn't working. as it turns out, usbmc was only working with the sd card that goes in the 3g slot at the time. I didn't know this, so I uninstalled enso which resulted in the memory card not being detected and all icons being gone. I fixed it by formatting the memory card. when I try to reinstall enso, I got that error. I did try reinstalling the firmware, but that had no effect, so I just installed it anyway. it was a pstv which are cheap. if it had been a vita, that might've been a different story. anyway, the install went through. I've encountered no issues, so I think it's a bug, possibly just with the pstv.

thanks for getting back to me although at this stage have no idea what USBMC is lol
So I'm still not sure which way to go. Have had nothing but trouble since it arrived and terrified my self when error after error keeps coming up, I have hacked loads of consoles but never been as scared as I am doing the vita!!

I wouldn't mind just wiping the vita memory to start again but as I have no memory card I'm not that confident as I heard 1000 or phat models do need one which is unfortunate.
Maybe I will just try and reinstall it anyway despite the error message but at this stage (as I know nothing about hacking these things) I would rather not uninstall at this stage due to not having memory card and worried about it bricking it or something else. Is it nessesary to uninstall Enso Henkaku before reinstalling do you know?

cool no worries appreciate your help I will learn from my mistakes and never buy a pre hacked console ever again, and would advice anyone else who is semi proficient in hacking to not make the same mistake I have.

I don't think it's an issue with the system but rather a bug with enso. enso is so easy to install anyway that user error seems unlikely. I've heard of others having issues installing enso, but in that case, it's usually the pstv that's giving them trouble. I don't know about the vita. that install went smooth.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

btw, I have a theory about that error. I think some bits of enso are left over when uninstalled and obviously when reinstalled on top of an existing install. that may be what's causing the mismatch error. however, the offsets remain the same, so it's in turn safe to install. that's just a theory though.
