PS TV always asks to connect the controller to press the PS button after being turned on

If you still have Henkaku, turn off Enable Version Spoofing, then try?

I no longer have it.

PSN, I think.

Not positive. I just always learned you have to do it from Safe Mode and then update.

Could you elaborate?

 

[Anderxale]

I no longer have it.



Could you elaborate?

Elaborate on the little I know about wiping Henkaku Enso off? No - I don't have much to offer.

OK, so is the PS TV faulty?

 

[Anderxale]

If you hold the power button for a while, it boots into safe mode (recovery).

I read you must use safe mode to and then update to wipe.

If you go to Settings > System > System Information >
What software version do you see?

Just restore in recovery menu. It won't wipe enso, but it should reset the boot config and config.txt.

Yes... your PSTV doesn't boot correctly.

I don't know why a Vita would boot to recovery every time - even with working internal storage, the correct power adapter, no plugins... no Enso Henkaku.

3.73. So, you're saying that this problem may, after all, be caused by me since I may not even know how to turn on the PS TV right, I mean, without it asking to connect the controller via USB cable to press the PS button? Perhaps. How can I turn it on right, then?

That's what I did.

In my case the PS TV but I turn it on the same way I do with the PS Vita, I mean, by pressing its button until it turns on. To turn off the PS Vita, I press its button until the menu appears and I press to turn it off. To turn off the PS TV, I press its button until it turns off, press to turn it off on LiveArea or press the PS button on the DualShock 4 and cpress to turn it off. How can the PS TV be turned on and off right?

 

[Anderxale]

That's what I did.

3.73 try to hack the vita from scratch. Maybe you never downgraded? I'm confused why you are in 3.73 unless you updated.

This is the way you wiped right?

 

[Anderxale]

The power button is on the back. Turning on with the PS button on the controller is fine.

Holding the power button on the back of the PSTV for like 7 seconds from off takes you to safe mode.

I don't think you have been doing that?

But the PS TV doesn't turn on if I click the PS button, only the PS3, the PS4 and the PS5 do.

Oh my god, it seems I never knew how to turn this console on in the first place! I consulted its manual online and it seems this is normal behavior! To turn it on, the power button shouldn't be pressed for some seconds like I was doing or it will ask to connect the controller via USB cable and to press the PS button, so it's normal behavior! This should only be done when wanting to access Safe Mode, precisely! Stupid me! In my defense, I only have this console since last summer (as well as the PS Vita) and I barely touched it! I didn't even play a PS Vita game on it!

 

[Anderxale]

Yes.

Hahaha oh no!

When you turn it off, can you turn it on by just pressing the button?

Did it go to recovery?

 

[Windows_10_User]

I find it odd that to turn on the PS Vita I have to press its button for a few seconds and it doesn't ask to press the PS button when wanting to access Safe Mode unlike the PS TV.

So, I removed HENkaku and I'll have to reinstall it as well as the apps and plugins. How can I format the USB flash drive on the PS TV?

 

[Anderxale]

On another light note, I was able to control my recovery mode with a DS4 for the first time.

It has never worked for me before.

Yes, I can, but I wanted to turn it on via DualShock 4 like I can with the PS3 via DualShock 3, the PS4 via DualShock 4 and the PS5 via DualSense.

No, it didn't ask to connect the controller via USB cable to press the PS button.

So, I guess I shouldn't install overclock plugins on the PS Vita because they might wear the battery faster (but might decrease loading times as well), but what about the PS TV which doesn't have a battery?

 

[Anderxale]

What's weird is that to turn on the PS Vita, I have to press its button for a few seconds.

So I wiped HENkaku and I'll have to reinstall it, as well as the apps and plugins. At least this time I won't use zzBlanl.image and Win32 Disk Imager but how can I format the USB drive on the PS TV?

VitaDeploy like you do normally but instead just choose "Recommended" instead of R+YAMT.

Download YAMT.vpk from VitaDeploy and install it.

Launch the YAMT bubble. Choose Full install.
(If you chose R+YAMT, you will need to uninstall first)

Then you go into Settings Devices Storage Devices. Check Use YAMT but don't set any mount points.

Go further into Driver Settings. Choose developer options and be very careful to highlight TexFAT format USB/PSVSD's storage. Press X when you are highlighting that.

Then back out and go to VitaShell.

Press triangle and choose mount uma0. (Remove and replace the drive if it asks). In that folder, you should have just SceloTrash.

If you can mount it in the previous step, copy all contents from ux0 to the new uma0. If not try formatting again (for me this always works for a USB storage, sometimes I have to do that formatting more than once for SD2VITA).

Then go back into Settings Devices Storage Devices and set ux0 to USB.

Reboot!

Install software, games and plugins.

So, I suppose I shouldn't install overclock plugins on the PS Vita because they'd waste the battery faster, but what about the PS TV?

I overclock the games that need it and don't worry about it.

It uses the processor faster. (Processors can only calculate so many algorithms before they die) but the chances of the PSTV dying from the processor dying from the number of calculations is low.

The PSTV doesn't get very hot.

Why should the "Recommended" taiHEN configuration be chosen instead of the "R + YAMT" one?

Also, can't the USB device be mounted on "Settings" after formatting it instead of mounting it on VitaShell?

And what about the PS Vita?

I overclock the games that need it and don't worry about it.

It uses the processor faster. (Processors can only calculate so many algorithms before they die) but the chances of the PSTV dying from the processor dying from the number of calculations is low.

So, do you recommend to do it on both?

It's a lot faster copying files from PS Vita's SD2VITA to PC than from PS TV's USB flash drive 2.0 to PC.
