Hi, this is my first post and I'd like to point out that this is my first experience with any kind of homebrew on any device. I honestly don't know what I'm doing and some help on these issues would be greatly appreciated!
I'm not really good with computers so I've been following a certain series of guides on youtube by RetroGameCorps on how to do homebrew on the vita. The first video dealt with installing h-encore, enso and vitashell and that went along smoothly. When moving on to the second video on the series (I'll put a link to it below), things got a little messy.
Here it is:
The video is about doing the microSD card hack using the YAMT method. I followed every step on the video and downloaded the YAMT installer onto my vita. After that I went with the instructions to mess with the storage devices section in settings to "TexFAT format GC-SD's storage." Now the video was telling me to open up vita shell and copy all the files from a folder named ux0 to one called uma0. I tried to do this and i kept getting errors. None of the files would copy even when I tried to copy them one by one. The only one that did was a folder titled "app."
I checked the contents and it had different stuff in it than another folder named "app" in ux0. So after a few more error messages, I deleted the "app" folder from uma0 but when I checked back in ux0 to retry copying the files, I saw that the whole ux0 was empty. At this point, I decided to close vitashell and open it again but I couldn't. The error message (C1-2741-4) showed up. I restarted my vita a couple of times and the same problem still exists. I tried to redownload vitashell but it won't let me saying that another error occurred.
I was really confused and I didn't know what to do so I tried to delete vitashell and it wouldn't let me do that with the error message (C1-2741-4) showing up again and again. After leaving my vita on for a while, a message popped up saying that my memory card had been ejected even though it hadn't and that the console needed to restart. I restarted it and when I tried to open up vitashell again, it told me that the data in vitashell had been corrupted and that if I wanted to continue I had to delete everything and start over from scratch. I clicked yes and surprise surprise, it led me back to the (C1-2741-4) error message again. So I closed vitashell and I tried to open up all the other homebrew apps I installed to see if I could do something from there and none of them worked.
I had h-encore, enso, vitashell, and YAMT installer and none of them would open and none of them could be deleted with the same error message (C1-2741-4) showing up each and every time. Can someone help me with what I should do next? Is my memory card done for? I don't want to give up on the whole vita homebrew thing yet and I'd love to give things another go but I just don't know what to do at this point.
I should probably add that the "app" folder that showed up in uma0 after my attempts at copying the other folders wasn't a successful copy. It just showed up in uma0 after each "error can't copy" message I got, that's why I thought to delete it.
