PS Vita slim with enso bootloop

[Jeskoo]

I have PS Vita Slim with one interesting problem. I don’t know what version of the system is there, I just know that enso is installed. The console does not go into recovery, only sometimes when you press some combinations the PS logo appears and also goes into a bootloop with the molecule logo. Any chance? Or is it still a brick and easier to sell?

Well I'd suggest you to hold L when you power on your Vita (to disable every plugin as the plugins might be the issue), you should be able to boot into the menu this way... Don't know why can't you go into the Recovery Mode though.

What, specifically, is your hack? Are you on henlo/henkaku/enso, what firmware? Or are you on h-Encore? The more info about your Vita makes it easier for us to help.

As far I know, henlo is a web browser exploit that is used to install henkaku, h-encore is another exploit like henlo that uses a demo game as an entry point to install henkaku but both of those are temporary hacks, meaning that you'd have to enable henkaku again every time you boot into your device. enso is used to make henkaku permanent so that henkaku would load up every time you boot.
The OP specifically points out that they see the molecule logo while the vita is booting up so this tells us that he has enso installed on his device. His installation method (henlo/h-encore) doesn't have any effect after he installs enso.

The console does not go into recovery.I've tried all different combinations with no success. I thought it wasn't working L and R, but I replaced them with conditionally working ones. The result is the same - the ps logo appears and also goes into the bootloop with the molecule. I asked in the discord Henkaku(video in non-english/Russian ) and the person replied that somebody may have climbed into the OS0 or Boot_config. There are no sd2vita and original card inside

Well, let's put it this way. I have the Henlo/HenKaku/Enso hack running @ 3.65. I do NOT have the molecule flash screen at boot up, as H-Encore is an out-dated piece of GARBAGE. And when I hacked my Vita, there was no need for a video game to enable the hack, because my hack never needed to use a game to make it work. What this guy needs is a fresh start, with new software.

For a new, fresh start that will bring your Vita to life, check this link here, below this sentence...


Enjoy!!!

Have you checked if the battery works properly?

The battery is fine.

Did you try to connect it to the pc via Qcma or Cma and see what happens?
I remember there was an option to update the psvita through Cma but it had been years and my memory is fuzzy
Edit: yeah, it seems I was right. You can try to follow instructions and see if it works https://cimmerian.gitbook.io/vita-troubleshooting-guide/serious-problems/bootloop

If the Os0 has problems then.....though
