Earlier today, Yifan Lu, a well-known member of the Vita hacking scene famous for the Rejuvenate hack for the Dev Assistants, has announced that a new (native!) Vita homebrew enabler for the latest firmware version, as of writing (3.60), will be arriving tomorrow at "9:00AM UTC".

The new hack, known as "HENKaku", will require the following:

• A Vita/PSTV running 3.60
• A memcard with at least 10MB of free space (internal memory is currently not supported!)
• An FTP client
• An internet connection**

**Offline support is now available! Launch the exploit straight from the email app without the need for internet access at all! See the unofficial release thread for more details. (Internet connection still required for installation)


This is a small paragraph of Yifan Lu himself explaining what the properties of this new homebrew enabler does:

HENkaku simply lets you install homebrew as bubbles in LiveArea. It is a native hack that disables the filesystem sandbox. It installs molecularShell, a fork of VitaShell that lets you access the memory card over FTP and install homebrew packages (which we create as VPK files). With vita-toolchain, developers have access to the same system features licensed developers have access to as well as undocumented features that licensed developers cannot use (including overclocking the processors).

The hack has been released at http://henkaku.me ~ Furthermore, the hack is said to be exclusive to 3.60, and there is to be no backports for the time being.

Same here; 0 errors at all when trying out offline installation for the first time.
Very hit-and-miss thing, I suppose...

Hi,

Really appreciate it if anyone can help as I must be doing/not doing something stupid! I have henkaku installed and winscp on my pc. When I run henkaku I get the VitaShell 0.7 page with all the different folders. How do I connect this to winscp to transfer files? Where do I find the correct host name and port number?

Press select.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly! Still having problems though. I pressed select and get an ftp address but still can't connect. Do you know what the correct port number is?

You get something like
ftp://192.168.1.1:1337
The address is 192.168.1.1
The port is 1337

I must've been really lucky; first time with the offline henkaku loader I got zero errors and it worked.

He got an error. It didn't work. It's not going to be that simple.

The game must be not decrypted

 

[pikpol]

The game must be not decrypted

So first the game should be decrypted and then suddenly not?
I think the eboot should be decrypted, but it probably isn't and that's why it isn't working.
Otherwise we could just copy gamecards via Vitashell and load it in any Vita we want? Without having to use those decryption tricks from here: http://pastebin.com/pz9FbTet

Anyone know how to connect to a PS3 with a lower FW Vita?
I tried this guide, http://www.guidingtech.com/33939/transfer-games-hacked-ps-vita/ , but it didn't work.

You need to use QCMA on a PC or laptop, connect via that once done pull the USB cable out of the computer and then connect via USB on you're ps3, if errors pop up on the vita don't press anything

Also make sure you're psvita is set on airplane mode

Everytime I try to connect, following each instruction very carefully, it tells me that the vita "Could not connect to the PC.".
Wat do?
