Hello hope everyone is doing well. I recently got my ps vita and followed a tutorial along to increase the storage capacity. I got the SD2vita and sd card from temu (which might not have been the best idea I admit). I got the Ultimate Gaming Experience: Sd2Vita 6.0 and a 256 gb
Sd card. I was able to access my sd card through my pc and format it as well and it hasn’t worked. I looked at Amazon and I was wondering if the rgeek 5.0 sd2vita with a sandisk 256 gb ultra UHS was a combo I could go for because I should have been more careful with my initial storage purchase but here we are ig. Thanks for all the help !
 
Did you write the zzz.blank file with Win32DiskImager to the sd card?
I actually have a similar problem. I had to switch sd cards because the previous one stopped working

All the apps from Henkaku are gone. They're still somewhere on my Vita because I can still unmount Yamt but still every app is gone from the live area. There's no Vitashell, Vitadeploy etc. I followed the Yamt guide again but that didn't work either

Do you think your answer would fix the issue?

Yeah Temu isn't a good choice for anything. I'd advise you to go buy another one in either a trustworthy electronics store or at least in a trustworthy online shop

It might work, so just backup everything and be sure to have windows show hidden files, then just format to be sure and write the zzz.blank image. After that just copy your files and folders and it should work. I say should since I'm no expert. Do you still have the henkaku files on your psvita memory card?

I only have Henkaku and Yamt on it but the corresponding apps as well as Vitashell, Vitadeploy etc aren't in the live area anymore

Try running your sd card with h2testw. But it could be the case your sd card can get through this test without any issues and just stop working later on which happened with mine so I'd strongly advise you to buy a new one from a local electronics store or from a reputable online shop like Amazon but look at the name of the company you should only buy official ones and Sandisk sd cards are the best out there

Once you've bought the new one follow this guide https://gbatemp.net/threads/switched-sd-card-and-now-everythings-gone.660352/

Also I've made a post about it for people who have their backup on their pc instead of using ftp
