HENkaku for 3.68 to release on July 1

408209-eue7qwzjoiec9wd1snxa.png

The long awaited exploit for the PS Vita has finally been given a release date. When we first received news of the exploit, we were told it would likely release in 1-2 years, but luckily Vita hacker TheFloW mangaed to find a second exploit for 3.68 and get us an earlier release. The exploit will work on firmware versions 3.65 to 3.68 you do not need an official Sony memory card or an internet connection to use it. If you are on 3.65, you will be able to install HENkaku Ensō, but unluckily those on 3.67 and above won't be able to. I've included a guide for updating to stock 3.65 from 3.61/3.63.

Use Moduru to downgrade to 3.65.
Install Enso for permanent hack :)

Once Enso is installed i recommend,

Install nonpdrm.skprx (Plugin to create fake licenses for downloaded games.)
Install PKGj by Blasrock (App to download Vita, PSP and PS1 games! Requires nonpdrm plugin installed.)

I want to downgrade to 3.65, but can anyone confirm if the trinity / vitashell still works ?
I'm reading comments on youtube people downgraded succesfully but lost the trinity app.

People were probably thinking when you downgrade you retain the exploit, but that's not the case, so Trinity/VitaShell was probably removed in the process.

You have to install h-encore after downgrading, which would give you VitaShell back. You should not use Trinity for any firmware lower than 3.69-3.70.

TheFlow said it does on twitter: Btw the trinity exploit actually works on 3.65-3.70, if you’re curious. Also if you hold L trigger just before trinity starts, you can watch my implementation of the matrix rain effect without interruption.

The database rebuild during the downgrade makes it disappear, I guess selecting the rebuild option in vitashell might fix it. I downgraded to 3.60 so I could use enso, so there was no point in me trying to keep it.

You shouldn't rely on Trinity as it's expected to stop working soon. Make sure you have h-encore installed if you must stay on 3.65

Interesting, since he specifically mentions to use h-encore and not Trinity for 3.65-3.68. I wonder why :unsure:

Maybe less steps? Or maybe h-encore is more stable on 3.65-3.68 vs Trinity

Trinity requires you to be connected online, the expectation is Sony will try to stop it from working. Currently you can get online using

Which is why he gave warning that there would be a release so people could get ready to exploit and downgrade and install an exploit that will carry on working (although originally he said 6-8 weeks and it was less than that).

If Trinity was unblockable then there would be no need for people to downgrade at all unless they wanted enso as it's far easier to trigger than h-encore.
