Hacking How to update to 3.60 offline?

[Noizetank]

Hi

This is my first post here, so i hope it can be answered.
Is there a way for me to update from 3.57 to 3.60 offline, as when i use the CMA it comes up with 3.61.
I saw something on using Qcma but got totally lost.

Any hep would be awesome.

Many Thanks

It's possible and is fairly easy to do but I can't explain right now as I'm on my phone, in fact there are 2 or 3 ways to do this.

Have a read on wololo.net

Download 3.60 update from sony (while its definitely still 3.60) or preferably an archived mirror, and update using that.

You can use Vita Update Blocker 1.2

Change your proxy to what it says there. Last 4 numbers are to the port.

Now you won't get 3.61 update begging.

Thanks for the replies so far,

I have downloaded and installed qcma and have the 3.60 pup file.

I have made the xml file. I have copied the part I edited below, but I cant seem to connect my vita, if I try to connect with usb it says i need to update content manager.
Also qcma doesnt have the part on the 'other' tab to point to the firmware. Am I missing something ridiculously obvious?

Yeah weirdly it was 3.60 when I answered originally. Thats why I mentioned or a mirror, I knew that it wouldn't last long....

You have a old version if its not having a firmware to point to.

Latest QCMA https://codestation.github.io/qcma/

Use this guide, as its better imo, even though its roughly the same.

Its still 3.60 on the UK site. 3.61 on the US version.

Thanks again, i seem to be making some progress.
I have Qcma latest version all installed correctly, how ever I cant manually change the protocol it only goes upto 3.30 0100019.
I also get the following error when trying to connect my vita via usb C3-14978-9.

So so close, iv hacked loads of consoles in the past and i wont let this beat me......yet lol

Finally worked out where i was going wrong, I had the wrong region I had EU not UK.

Thanks again everyone, cant wait for the vita scene to really grow now!!
