Hacking Vita Memory Card Died!!!! Can I JUST Buy an SD2Vita Card and Install Henkaku form here?!?!?

BLCKBLuR · Dec 12, 2019

So my 16 GB Vita Memory Card Died like 4 days ago after installing enso and downloading and uninstalling a bunch of games rapidly. I realize that I screwed up there lol.

Anyways, I would like to order and SD2Vita Card, but how exactly will I get it working, seeing as I dont have henkaku or anything anymore since my Vita Memory Card died?,

Do I need to buy another Vita Memory Card, AND the SD2Vita Card, so then I can install henkaku on the Vita Memory Card, and then install SD2Vita after?

Or can I JUST buy an SD2Vita Card, and then put one of my many pre-formatted SD Cards into my vita with it, and then install henkaku enso from there?

Right now my Vita is on firmware 3.65, I was on 3.60 when I installed Henkaku Enso, but it was the Enso version that updates you to 3.65 during the installation process. So can I even still havck my vita from this point, if I buy an SD2Vita card?

Or am I absolutely screwed now?

Thanks in advance!
Always enjoy looking for help inside of this community, love you all!!!

Enso is installed to the console not the memory card, Just get an SD adapter and proceed like normal.

Yeah I noticed when I realized I can still boot into enso, the issue is this...

I don't have Vita Shell or anything to connect to FTP on my PC, or to get Vita Shell onto my Vita...

Or can I use PSVIMGTool and QCMA to install Vita Shell again?

Can someone fix my double post? My web browser was not fully loading the page before so I thought I had to post again since the page wasnt loading, and now it made 2 of the same post...

I think you can install the H-Encore bubble and use its option to install Vita Shell.

Could you link me to something that I can trust, to teach me how exactly to install the H-Encore bubble on 3.65 FW?

Thanks, but from reading this, I am kind of confused, why do I need to install anew jailbreak if I already have Henkaku Enso installed and working? Is there no other way to get Vita Shell back so I can start getting homebrews running again, besides installed a NEW jailbreak??

Or am I just confused about something?

Because it has a menu you can access by holding R when starting the bubble, that menu has an option to install VitaShell for you, The hack it can do is not what you are after but that option it has is.
This is assuming you have a slim system tho since you still need some form of storage to install to in the first place thus a phat system wont work afaik.

Could try visiting the henkaku site and seeing if it installs molecular shell tho.

Also, if I try installing the h-encore bubble, do I jsut install it to an SD Card then use my newly purchased SD2Vita card with it? Or do I need a Vita Memory Card first?

Yeah I have a 1000 model, a phat system. the original Vita. So what exactly do I need to do? Buy a new Vita MC, AND buy an SD2Vita adapter? then install the h-encore bubble to the Vita MC, in order to install Vita Shell... and THEN after vita Shell is installed, I have to installed SD2Vita in order to eventually switch to using my SD2Vita card instead of myt Vita MC.

Right?

Or did I get something wrong?

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

And THAT is them ain question, like if I went to the henkaku site to see if it installs molecular shell, can I jsut do that on a newly bought SD2Vita card, with an SD in it? Or do I have to do that on a new Vita MC, then use molecular shell to get my SD2Vita installed and working?

I have never used SD2Vita... this is why I am asking so much. I would rather NOT buy another Vita MC if I don't have to.

Since its a 1k I think you will need a memory card, check around for 4GB cards since they tend to go for around $15.
Once you have that you can install VitaShell using h-encore and proceed with installing StorageMgr plugin so it will auto mount the SD card as ux0.

ux0 being the mount point the normal vita memory card uses so everything should see the SD card as a regular memory card.

Not while MLTHaKu is a thing. I have installed firmware on a 1000 w/o a memory card. Here's the link below for future knowledge.
