Hacking Softbrick/Semi bricked? Please help?

Rage_Of_the_Ancients · Jun 7, 2020

I was trying to do the SD2VITA install, and it appears something went terribly wrong. On the final steps of booting up, all i get is the enzo screen, followed by the sony warning logo, and the system turns off. Is there any way this can be fixed?

More then happy to give any info needed.

I fixed it myslef, i rebooted by disabling plugings, got the files i needed to restore myself from my ur0, and used a vpk installer for SD2Vita rather then manually doing it with tai folders.

that's odd. some things with the vita are a little buggy. however, I Know you can possibly brick from installing yamt, since it touches the boot_plugins.txt. that's in the tai folder too. messing with that can cause a brick for sure. if it even says so at the top of the file. however, yamt.skprx is installed at the very top of the file without being in the middle of a bunch of other stuff. there's even spaces to offset it.

Strange! to add to that, i originally was trying to do it with StorageManager, which requires you to manually edit, delete, and copy your ux0 and ur0 folders as well as its own config file for mounting. Somewhere along all that i went real wrong.
This video was a GODSEND -
I knew about all the other stuff and even auto plugin but this was the vid that helped me actually get my SD card working (just incase anyone else does what i did)

I'm not sure why it has to be added to boot_plugins.txt instead of config.txt. it must need higher privileges.
