MEANS End of Life??

Yes, End of Life. When Sony stops manufacturing and supporting the Vita completely, or announces such, then it's likely we'll see TheFlow's new exploit.

Since it's still going strong in Japan, this may not be for another year or so, which is why TheFlow made his "approximate" release date so far ahead in the future.

FINALY! I have now an PS Vita 3.55 updated to the holy Enso 3.60!
Is usefull to update 3.65 Enso?! I have read it can be dangerous if it goes wrong and there is no way to get back.
And its generally not possible to reflash 3.65 Enso if i change things system related?!

I am now using an 8gb original Vita Card, so when i change to SD2VITA can i simply backup the whole 8gb stick and transfer it the micro sd?!

1) 3.65 Enso is somewhat useful, if you want to play 3.65 games reliably. While Maidump can now dump 3.65 games and make them playable on 3.60, you still have all the same issues that every other Maidump game has (like putting the Vita to sleep while playing can delete your save). 3.65 games can also randomly crash and have various other issues while being played on 3.60, whereas they play totally fine on 3.65. If you don't care for 3.65 games, then it's probably not worth it to bother updating to 3.65.

2) You can't reflash the 3.65 exploit, however you can restore your Vita to factory settings as many times as you'd like without it modifying Enso. This is because Enso is now stored in vs0, which doesn't get touched with a factory reset. So long as you don't go messing with system partitions or running homebrew from flaky sources, you should never lose Enso on 3.65.

3) And yes, when you get your SD2Vita you can just copy everything on the original memory card and place it on the SD2Vita and, once mounted to ux0, everything will function as normal.

Thank You! Very Helpfull!

Stay exactly where you are, because theflow will be releasing (hopefully) his hack for 3.67 or if he gets it on 3.68. No guarantees it will be on 3.68 though. Only firmwares confirmed to have the exploit, is 3.60 (the best currently or at least the most safe), 3.65 (with enso, must have 3.60 first to upgrade), and that's it really.
