Hacking ps vita cfw - install vitashell without mc and usb

dust213dust · Apr 24, 2019

so i found myself in some bad situation.... I have vita fat with henkaku/enso installed and using only vita2sd without memory card at all(did it with an app from homebrew browser).
somehow sd card in vita2sd adapter got corrupted.now I found myself in a situation where I dont have a working usb port on vita. my original sony memory card is not recognized by system (message insert memory card pops up when referring to it). on main screen there are no enso, molecular shell/ vita shell bubbles.
only thing that points that system is hacked is that in settings it shows henkaku settings tab and in system information tab it shows: system software 3.65 and then 2 Japanese symbols and a circle at the end.

i still have a copy of sd card that was working in vita2sd, but restoring that sd doesnt affect anything as I think main config file doesnt point system to vita2sd as main memory anymore...

any suggestions on how to get vita shell?

Are you sure your USB port is just finicky or is it really busted? My PS Vita Fat doesn't play well with my PC but once in a blue moon it works.

Also I think this could potentially work : https://gbatemp.net/threads/psvimgtools-install-vitashell-to-3-65-from-qcma.499245/

I think you can connect thru Wifi using QCMA.

I had many issues last week . So bad in fact I fact I had to start from scratch .. I had the same issue .... No Vitashell .. But I found this
https://github.com/noahc3/auto-h-encore

Which quickly installed h encore & vitashell .. Again.. & from there on I was fine getting my Sd2vita ect working .... Once it's back working again... Recopy over Vitashell again using Qcma ... Failing that can't you got to the Henkaku website... Since you are on 3.60 .. That should bring back Vitashell also

My case is much complicated. My usb is not working. SONY Memory card also stopped working. And if thats not enough my vita is not on 3.60 anymore. it was updated to 3.65 ( it was updated to access psn. In setting it shows 3.65 and some japanese symbols along with henkaku setings tab as on any other henkaku cfw), but still it was on enso henkaku. But no enso or any other bubbles showing.

If you're getting the format mem card loop with your sd2vita, just plug in sd card to pc and delete the id.dat file then it should work.
