Playstation Vita Firmware 3.55 is now available – Does it patch the Fail-Mail flaw?!

 

[SpaceJump]

Does this still work on the latest Vita Firmware?

 

[ElYubiYubi]

Yes

 

[Tex_McBladeSword]

So wait, will we actually be able to launch homebrew and PSP ISOs from 3.52 now?

 

[Faran Maqsood]

Yes

There seems to be a new system update for the vita...
Are you talking about that?

There's an update? I havent heard anything about it. Then again I have auto-update off so that's not surprising

Does this method require a game to exploit?

"It works up to 3.52 and will very likely get patched on the next firmware update."

From what I can tell, you just need a game / app that needs an update. Pretty sure if you uninstall Netflix and then reinstall it that it will try to update

Yeah there is.....
Suprisingly even the playstation site still mentions 3.52 as the latest one.

Did you guys even read?

Right, but I mean since I don't have an existing method of actually launching homebrew / ISOs, does this let me launch said loaders, or just present an easy way to transfer said homebrew and whatnot?

I am. It says that it lets me change/overwrite my GAME folder. However Im not familiar with the launchers available. I want to know if once I transfer over a launcher, will I be able to actually use it on 3.52, or would I need to have installed it on a lower firmware?

Okay, I get that this trick works on all firmwares. I was never confused about that. Im not quite sure how else to phrase my question but thank you anyways

I believe if you uninstall then reinstall Netflix, it will then need an update again (assuming it was updated in the first place) Although I think this clears the Netflix Cache so make sure you remember your password and whatnot.

They mightve changed this by now, so take this with a grain of salt
