Hacking H-encore without memory card (1000 unit)

[MDashK]

I have a working 1000 unit with (currently) a 32GB original card.

I'm trying to ditch the original card and use a 32GB microSD one with adapter.

The unit has h-encore, since it is on a superior firmware version.

Since this is a 1000 unit, internally, it only has ur0 as free space.

Is there a way to permanently install h-encore to ur0, so that I can run it without issue on every reboot, and then have all the rest in the sd2vita adapter?

TL;DR: Is it possible to install h-encore in ur0 instead of ux0?

Done!

No if you are on 3.67 or 3.68, if you are on 3.60/3.65 you can install enso.

I've seen tools like "IMCUnlock" and "Application Storage Manager", will any of these perform what I wish to achieve?

You can probably use IMCUnlock to create a imc0, but it is still not permanent, where you have to rerun H-encore if you are above 3.65. 3.67 and 3.68 has no permanent cfw support.

My problem is not to re-run h-encore in every reboot.
I just want a way to permanently have h-encore available without the need of a official memory card.
That way, I can boot, run h-encore promptly from the internal memory and then it will mount the sd2vita so that I can play.

Not sure it will mount SD2vita by it self, after you created an Imc0 partition, you can try , there is a chance of brick if you don't do it correctly.

Well, I have everything set up on ur0:tai, including storagemgr, so to all effect it should mount correct?

Once h-encore is launched, all plugins and modules are loaded, AFAIK...

But I will give IMCUnlock a shot, the 100MB option should be more than sufficient for the h-encore app, I think... right?

Install IMCUnlock and you won't need a memory card as you can store h-encore on that internal memory card. I'd suggest putting vitashell there too, just in case. Don't forget to also keep them both on your SD2Vita and imc0, otherwise when you refresh the livearea in vitashell with SD2Vita active h-encore won't be there when you reboot without a memory card & you'll have to refresh the database.

superior firmware version.

I mean, the superior version is 3.60 because you can do everything without ever touching a memory card since you only ever have to run the web exploit once to install henkaku & enso...

I already did. Please check tutorial I have made. xD

Superior in meaning: a more recent version, like 3.68 or 3.69. Not "superior" because it is best of all of them.
