Hacking Issue switching memory cards because "i must update"

[SonsofOcelot]

Yeah it seems like unless you have access to a ps3 with a Vita or PSP title on it that you can transfer you're out of luck sadly.

Same goes for when you restore the system. The system will not auto log you in to PSN and will force you to log in again causing the system to prompt for a firmware update. With the proxies no longer working (update blocker, psproxy, etc.) you won't have any way to sign in initially anyways unless there is a way to use the id and account dat file hacks to fix that login issue. Sorry m8

And I suppose sharing my account details with someone on GBAtemp who has a ps3 is not a working option aswell..?

They can make QCMA backups for you to restore if your Vita is activated, which it should be.

Those would take a very long time to download, yes. If you were to share your account, then the person who gets your account would need to do this.
>Download all those games to the PS3
>Transfer as many as can fit on the memory card to the Vita
>Transfer all of these to the PC
>Repeat until all the games are on the PC
>Upload them all to some online storage
It's not a convenient thing to do.

Hmm ok. they need to have a vita aswell?
They can't transfer directly from ps3 to pc?

They need a Vita or PSTV. Transferring from PS3 to PC does not work. The Vita also must have the same version as your Vita, or lower.

I'm pretty sure just logging into PSN is not enough for it to be activated. You need to either activate it or download a game from PSN onto it. QCMA will sadly not activate it :/

And activation requires PSN access unless you have PS3 or have a backup of your activation.

That's why I said I was making the assumption that the console was already activated. Chances are it was.

Pretty sure he just said that he switched account after Sony issued new certificates meaning no PSN access?

That's what I gather. He tried switching accounts and by the sounds of it he did so the same day that update blocker etc. stopped working. He still needs to do an initial sign in to PSN since when you do an initial setup it no longer keeps you signed in.

So he needs to 1) sign in to PSN (gonna ask for update) and 2) activate the Vita (will ask for update unless he has a ps3 to transfer from)

I hate saying it but it would seem that he is SOL cuz he needs to sign in to PSN anyways cuz the initial setup no longer keeps you signed in and requires resigning in.

This is why you backup your PSN activation files!

For future reference which files are those? Account.dat and id.dat right?

act.dat, you probably want system.dreg and system.ireg too

Let this tool automate it for you.

Definitely looking into this thank you.
