So before I hacked my PS Vita I bought a micro SD card with 512gb and an SD2Vita Adapter

Unfortunately the SD card I bought was fake even though I tested it with h2testw

Well the old SD card suddenly stopped working it didn't let me delete anything, transfer anything and even copy anything and paste it somewhere else. It just stopped working all of a sudden

So yesterday I bought a new SD card from our local electronics store. Unfortunately I couldn't back up my data so everything's gone

I did backup everything after the sd2vita process and copying the files from ux0 to uma0

When I first turned on my PS Vita it was caught in a loop always asking me to format my sd card because there was nothing on my Vita. So I tried to copy the files from uma0 (the files that I previously copied from ux0) on my SD card and that didn't work either

I even tried to rebuild the database but none of the apps show up. There's no Vitadeploy, no Vitashell, no Pkgj etc everything's gone. The only thing that's left is Henkaku but everything else is just gone

I already formatted my micro sd card on my pc but my Vita didn't accept that

I'm seriously at a loss right now

How do I fix this?
Do I have to undo the whole hack?

Also I tried installing Henlo again to see if that would fix the issue but since Henkaku is already on it that didn't work

I would really appreciate the help because I'm at my wits end

Thank you in advance

You need to format the SD card properly and flash thie img file. Then you can add it up with the SD2Vita plugin etc.
I just did that and there's still no Vitashell, Vitadeploy etc. Only the default apps are there but also the games that were on it before I hacked it are completely gone

That's the reason why I asked if I have to undo the hack because the apps don't show up in the live area anymore

You need to properly activate the SD2Vita Plugin. Then you can set up the SD card as your main directory ux0:
If your vita apps are still set up the wayy they should, they should show up again.
Otherwise I recommend, when you can make the sd card at least be recognized, just reinstall those apps from vpk files.

Normally it is no problem to reinstall Henkaku Enso

Afterwards you should have some basic way to access Molecularshell/Vitashell again, iirc it is installed into one of the useless vita official apps like near. (maybe it is still in there for you, did you try?)

If you still use the same account (or even without?) you should be able to recover all your installed apps, if you can get access to Vitashell/use of SD card again.

This has an automated option to use the SD card as main directory.

The thing is I need Vitashell to install Vitadeploy and it's gone along with all the other apps that come with Henkaku. Since you don't believe me one bit I'll attach a picture of my PS Vita's live area

Like I already told you only the default apps are on the live area now. Even the games that were previously installed on my vita before it was hacked are gone

Please tell me where you can see Vitashell, Vitadeploy, Pkgj, the Enso and Henkaku app as well as Adrenaline. Please tell me where you can see those apps on my live area if you still believe they're on the live area

Just to let you know it worked now. I just had to copy the files from my backup
