Hacking Unactivating / Reactivating used Vita

[oleg77]

You should be able to do it (put your name on it, even without proper game activation). I bought a second hand vita that was still linked to the last owner PSN account. I could factory reset it, install HENkaku then Enso (and adrenaline 6fix), and log in my PSN account (spoofing a 3.65 firmware). This vita is not (game) activated (I have already 2 other portable devices activated on my account, so I can't activate another device anyway without deactivating one already activated device + I guess it's not possible to activate a 3.60 console lately, even with the old PS3 trick). But I can (spoof and log) into my account...

Great, I'll try spoofing before logging into PSN.

It worked:

-I reset the system (hold r, ps button, and power, then select option 4.).
-Installed Henkaku
-turned on spoofing to 3.65 in henkaku options.
-turned OFF automatic system updates
-Then I logged into PSN fine.

Be aware that when you reset the system, you will have to go through the entire henkaku / enso / sd2vita process over again. It wipes all your saves (and games) and I dont think you can use old saves because its a new psn account. You can probably hack a really important save to work on the new account. I'll try my old saves later. I wish I could use PSN patches like I could with PS3 but I think they link the patches to games in my account so it wouldnt work.

Actually, you need to change to 3.67

Damn oh well, I guess it didnt matter much anyway. Spoofing must be for the actual download process on PSN. Dunno why they are still doing firmware when the vita is basically dead.

To prevent the hack scene, i think
