Hacking What can I do on fw 3.50

[Sithron978]

I read some of the faqs but not really understanding some of it. So if anyone can answer what exploits are available on 3.50 or should I just update to a different firmware?

THINGS YOU NEED:
- You need a PSViTA or PSTV, maybe a PS3 also, depends if you can still access PSN on your vita without updating to fw3.51.
If you need to transfer via PS3 you will need Vita Update Blocker to prevent PSVITA from asking to update or giving other errors (http://wololo.net/downloads/index.php/download/8304 )
IF YOU NEED TO DO THIS PLEASE FOLLOW " PREP STEP " instructions.

- You need QCMA also to transfer files to your vita. ( http://wololo.net/downloads/index.php/download/8241 )

- You need TNV11_Ape_Escape_US.zip from that site too, it contains the save exploit.
USA 3.36 and BELOW version https://0904e715411f2fd4035a62130168d72 ... _TNV11.zip )
USA 3.50 version: ( https://0904e715411f2fd4035a62130168d72 ... _TNV11.zip )

VIDEO WALKTHROUGH:


PREP STEP INSTRUCTIONS:
1. OPEN QCMA , go to settings. CHECK "OFFLINE MODE" and choose "Manual" for CMA Protocol Selection
Choose the firmware you are on for your device, in this example we are using firmware-3.35 , so i chose:
FW 3.30 - 1900010

2. Open " vita_update_blocker_v1.2.exe "
Take Note of " Listening on " IP on vita_update_blocker_v1.2.exe
You will use this IP and enter it as a proxy on your device ( PSViTA/PSTV )

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. download and install " ape escape on the loose USA" from PSN (if you cannot access PSN on your vita USE PS3 to download your game and transfer it over via QCMA to your PSViTA/PSTV)

2. unzip FW336_APE_US_TNV11.zip (this is the one i am using cause i am on firmware 3.35 if you are using fw3.50 use FW350_APE_US_TNV11.zip )
Inside you will now have 2 save folders "TNV_54321" and "UCUS986090000"

3. download PSP firmware 6.60 ( http://wololo.net/download.php?f=OFW660.zip )

4. Extract the PSP firmware from the .zip and RENAME to "660.PBP"

5. Place "660.PBP" inside the "TNV_54321" folder
When you installed QCMA it made some folders in "My Documents"

6. Place your two save folders "TNV_54321" and "UCUS986090000" into the following directory QCMA made for you.
C:\Users\DrFunkenstein\PS Vita\PSAVEDATA\XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
NOTE: XXXXXXXXXXXX is your user profile it is just numbers and letters but it is your profile
If you placed it in the right place it will be like this
C:\Users\YOUR WINDOWS PROFILE NAME\PS Vita\PSAVEDATA\XXXXXXXXXXXXXX \TNV_54321
C:\Users\YOUR WINDOWS PROFILE NAME\PS Vita\PSAVEDATA\XXXXXXXXXXXXXX \UCUS986090000

7.Transfer the files from your PC to your vita using QCMA

8. Start Ape Escape on the Loose

9. Load the Save file, Press X

10. you will now be in the TNV-11 menu

11. Go to Advanced

12. install 660 files

13. After install go back to the main menu in TNV-11 and exit, it will reboot into the PSP 6.60 firmware

14. you can now install PSP homebrew, load PSP iso , or PSP minis or PSN games, enjoy

video coming soon , im working on it now

 

[Sithron978]

looks like the vita update blocker isn't working anymore. i cant download ape escape

 

[drfunkenstein2k]

since your using a PSViTA after you put in the PROXY into the network connection and connect, then you need to put the ViTA into airplane mode and restart it. Now try to connect with vita update blocker. it should work now.

 

[Sithron978]

tried it. the update info is still popping up. i'm using Ps vita blocker v1.2. I just read somewhere that the vita blocker isn't working anymore

 

[drfunkenstein2k]

i use it everyday. i cant connect to PSNStore but i can use QCMA to my PC and PS3 without it asking to update.
go into QCMA settings what is your "CMA protocol version" on?
to get to QCMA settings right click the icon in your toolbar and choose SETTINGS then go to OTHERS tab
