Hacking SD2Vita is not working on Henkaku 3.68

[pillemats]

and delete the ux0 on original card ? thats it ? nothing else ?

 

[WeedZ]

i had tried that.

after the last step and rebooting i cant start vitashell.... file is damaged.....

The only thing you delete from the original ux0 is the tai folder

 

[pillemats]

i think i give up.... i spend lots of hours for nothing.... same shit as before

I tried, same as you, for 2 days without results. My vita would r3start when launching hencore after i modified the tai config in ur0 and deleted it from ux0 etc. I followed the instructions to a T. Thing is, I saw a post recommending celest blue's vita storagemgr plugin ( i cant post hyperlink) just google it.

It worked 1st try.
Give it a go.

I already had Henkaku installed and working with my already-set-up SD2Vita card, running perfectly on 3.60. Didn't have any issues until I successfully updated using h-encore.

That's the only reason I didn't need to follow the first set of instructions, and to this moment, I still have no idea how I got StorageManager to work. I wish I could be more helpful beyond posting the screenshots of my config.txt and my tai folder setup.

it works!

i like an idiot just put the ux0 folder in the root of the sd instead of the contents. duh. working thanks to you!

can you put the full path as where ux0 should go on your mSD card?

 

[Priestiality]

can you put the full path as where ux0 should go on your mSD card?

You don't move ux0. ux0 is the root. You move everything inside ux0 to the root of the SD.

FYI: If you guys wanted to use SD2Vita and your Sony card on a Vita 1000 just use StorageMgr.

Replace gamesd.skprx with storagemgr.skprx, replace the line in config for gamesd with "ur0:tai/storagemgr.skprx".

Backup your uma0 and ux0. Swap the contents BUT: make sure you copy app/ PCSG90096 to BOTH so you can run the exploit.

Open storage_config.txt and change values so it looks like this:
MCD=uma0
INT=imc0
GCD=ux0
UMA=grw0

After rebooting and running the exploit your Vita will now use the SD2Vita as ux0 and the default installation location for games and apps. Your Sony card will now be uma0 which is treated as expanded storage. Adrenaline can use this as the location for the emulated memory card, and you can also use it as ROM storage for emulators.

I'm tempted to update one of my vita with SD2vita and experiment with you guys lol

i will try that ! where is the folder uma0 ? i cant find in vita shell
should i delete tai folder after copy the files from ux0 to sd

 

[pillemats]

it works !!!!!!!! Thank you very much !!!!!!

 

[wooterwan]

it works!

i like an idiot just put the ux0 folder in the root of the sd instead of the contents. duh. working thanks to you!

I did the exact same thing haha none of the guides are clear about not doing that.

 

[WeedZ]

I did the exact same thing haha none of the guides are clear about not doing that.

If you think about it, when you mount the SD to replace ux0, you want the contents of ux0 there. Not another folder then the ux0 contents.

If you replaced the HDD in your computer for a larger one, you would copy the contents of c: to the new drive's root. Not make a folder called c on the new drive.

I feel like I'm missing something here. I've got the sd2vita working (I can see my big SD card in the system settings) but none of my games are showing up on the home screen. When I try to launch vitashell to refresh the live area, it says that it is corrupted. I think it would work just fine if I could refresh the live area...

• The contents of ux0 are on my SD card
• ux0:tai/config.txt moved to ur0:tai
• added 'ur0:tai/storagemgr.skprx' under *KERNEL
• added storagemgr.skprx to ur0:tai

I'm not really sure what I could be doing wrong =\

EDIT: I should also add that if I mount MCD to ux0 and GCD to uma0 in the storage_config.txt, it works fine. I really think it's just an issue with me not having a way to refresh the live area to load data from the SD card that gets mounted to ux0 after running h-encore

Did you have hidden folders enabled when you copied everything? If they have the same contents it should swap just fine unless your SD has issues. You wrote zzBlank to it and formatted with exFAT and default size before using it yes?

 

[cvskid]

For anyone who feels like they set everything up right and it's still not working. make sure your sd2vita adapter did not die on you. I had issues too when it turned out that i have to use another adapter.

Yeah it's super obvious when i figured out that my issue was that haha. It just took me longer than i would like to admit/Testing and trying to fix every other possible problem that it could be haha.

I'm actually using linux & could see all of the file etc... I wrote zeros to the entire sd card with 'dd'.

I've actually figured out a somewhat-hacky solution.

• Install h-encore
• Install henkaku via h-encore
• Install vitashell via h-encore
• Install AppStorageManager - https://bitbucket.org/Lupo511/appstoragemanager/downloads/
• Use AppStorageManager to install VitaShell to the internal memory of your vita (ur0)
• Setup StorageMgr as usual
• Delete ux0:tai/config.txt
• Copy contents of ux0 to the root of SD card
• Turn off Vita
• Install SD2Vita
• Power on Vita
• Install henkaku via h-encore (on your Vita memory card which is still mounted to ux0)
• When you exit h-encore, your vita will sleep & load your kernel modules (StorageMgr in this case)
• Now you should be able to launch VitaShell
• In VitaShell, press Triangle & select "Refresh LiveArea"

If all goes well, your apps that live on the SD card will be loaded on the home screen. You might need to Refresh the LiveArea a few times to get all of your apps to load (no idea why)

I should also add that I deleted all of ux0 after copying its contents to the SD card. That made it pretty easy to tell that the right apps had been loaded when I Refreshed the LiveArea.

EDIT: It seems like you won't have to refresh the livearea with VitaShell everytime. I've rebooted a couple of times since trying this and haven't had to. YMMV

 

[godreborn]

yeah, every single version of the sd2vita seems to have problems. I'm using version 4 (if you want to call it that). I think version 5 doesn't make complete contact with the game slot, so it can force formats on you if it's not just right. I own a version 1 and version 2 as well. the only one that gave me trouble was version 1 since you have to push it down in there. lol

The only thing you left out is that you need NoNpDRM installed. That is what was preventing all of my installed games from showing after using VitaShell to Refresh Live Area.

Anyone have any advice on keeping the Sony card your main memory as ux0 and the sd2vita uma0? Im on 3.68 h-encore. I followed a guide on youtube but it didnt work but there is possibly my fault. After my games wouldnt load and I had to reset the tai config I think. Step by step guide would be cool. I just want to use my Sony card as the main cause its bigger than my sd card right now.
