Alright so bear with me here.

I've got a Vita slim at 3.65 Enso and using an sd2vita. I've had issues where coming out of sleep mode the system says the memory card has been ejected causing me to have to reset the system.

I figured it was maybe my microsd and that'd I'd do a format and system restore, not remembering that i should back stuff up first etc.

So where i'm at now is that luckily holding R+L on boot gives me access to Vitashell (otherwise i only have system apps) i believe it was installed on the vita memory card (8G) i also have in the system.

I guess this is because the sd2vita program must be set to run at boot along with enso so when i hold R+L it's letting the system pick up only whats on the vita memory card instead?

I've got a new microsd card on the way that's larger since i was running out of space anyway but I'm wondering if and how i go about putting Vitashell on the internal memory and clean my system up so when i get the new card i can go in as "fresh" as possible and eliminate anything that could be causing the suspend/sleep issue i was originally trying to fix.

I see some people suggest yamt over storage manager now? Is there a collection of must haves and the best versions of plugins and such going back in?

Thanks to anyone who could be bothered reading this wall of text. It's been ages since I've done anything vita hacking related and I've basically forgotten how to do everything.

Ta. That's the guide i originally used. Is it safe to do the entire process again even tho i have enso 3.65 permanently installed and access to vita shell etc?

Can i just copy the vitashell folder and paste it into the internal memory too in case i mess things up with my card etc?

@Hyroero ,do a system restore and format the internal memory and then follow the guide i linked in the previous post,so it is safer not to have errors after the hack.

I had actually already done both of those things but enso is installed permanently so it isn't removed via those methods. Vitashell was just left over on my Vita memory card and even though i formatted that through the vita's storage options it seemed to hang around.

When i reboot if i don't hold L+R i can't get to vita shell because i assume the sd2vita plugin launches during boot. If i do hold i can but enso doesn't run and i can't see Henkaku in settings (i can if i just boot normally)

@Hyroero only the bootanimation remains,in reality the PS Vita don't have the hack because if you try to open an app it tells you that the file is corrupt or you have to reinstall it,and you can't install any apps and games.

Ah. That's good to know. If i boot with holding L i can still see a few of my old apps like mgba emulator which still launches? Vita homebrew browser, PKGj Adrenaline 6.61 (also launches) and the enso bubble. But the Henkaku in settings is gone and it says i'm running 3.69 normal Firmware.

@Hyroero ,i recommend that you downgrade to 3.65 for greater plugin compatibility and avoid future problems.

Alright. https://vita.hacks.guide/downgrading-firmware-(3.65).html Seems straight forward enough. My new microsd should be here next week then I'll start the guide from the start and hope for the best. Should be alright even though restore obviously hasn't / can't remove all traces of the previous enso installation?

Thanks again for your help.

Edit: Some reddit threads say there is risk of brick if i try to install enso again over the top? and that enso isn't removed by system restores at all since it gets installed deeper/elsewhere.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
