Updated Open CMA, Fixes Errors
A new version of the Open CMA for Vita 1.80 has been made to easily fix the errors alot of people have been receiving. (This also fixes the music/video bug!)
You can download the newest version here or alternatively if you already have the other one installed you can replace the psp2-update.xml file with the correct one corresponding to your appropriate region at the bottom here
Tutorial for the new version:
- Extract the archive in your CMA folder (program files/Sony/Content Manager Assistant by default)
- Quit the CMA if it is running on your PC
- Execute “run.bat” (you need to run it in “Admin mode” on windows 7
- That’s it, now the CMA should run without requiring to be connected to the internet
Its recommended that you do use open CMA when the vhbl files come out. Open CMA for those who do not know is the content manager to copy files to the vita and back but without any internet connection unlike the official Sony CMA. It will also not sneak a patch or do a forced firmware update on your device if one comes out and it will not send any data to Sony about whats being copied, edited, transferred or crashes.
Wait I don’t understand why I shouldn’t use open cma with the new vhbl?
DO use, not DO NOT use.
You should as it does not require internet connection.
Ahhhhhhh I get it now, thanks a lot! I truly appreciate it!
Cool; one question though; I used the previous r4 version a couple of days ago, and had no bugs/glitches transferring a video file. Should I update mine with this patch?
You don’t have to, this is more stable but it’s up to you
Thanks very much
Stable = better, IMHO, so I started from scratch, also because I know of someone who was still having trouble. This version works for me just fine on WinXP Pro, so I shall pass the word! 
can sony detect your cma is hacked and force a secret update to patch your monster hunter game? sounds bad we should all take up wololos generosity and not complain if this should happen. thnx mate
That’s the point of Open CMA, it doesn’t send anything or talk to Sonys servers, if you turn off the Internet you’ll be offline also.
No Open CMA does not connect to Sony’s servers. Basically it has been patched so it is a offline file transfer and does not transmit any data through the internet about your activity. Hence why we say use that.
Bah!!!
I think I will leave mine until I need to use it, have just spent the last hour or two messing about with the r4 release, I have only JUST come back to doing my normal work online and then I spot that it’s had a bug fix, ha ha ha ha, just my luck for timing I guess :p
ive been trying to install it with no success the vita still asks for internet, do i need to uninstall it from the vita too? how?
You need to uninstall CMA on the PC if you are going to switch from the old one to this one. You don’t need to on the vita, just close it out and restart it
alright, i kinda got it to work, when i first connect the vita it recognizes it and im able to copy to and from the pc with the content manager but if close it on the vita and try it again it tells me i need the internet it only works if i quit it on the pc and open it again, i can copy other stuff like pics and music without using content manager tho, any help?
nop, it just works the first time i install it, it works for a couple of minutes then none, it asks for internet
You need to replace the psp2-update.xml file then and try that. You must be using the older one.
this news it totaly not clear …
is it open cma R4 ?? or R5 fix ??
newest version link goes to http://code.google.com/p/procfw/
please clarify.. your new …..
It’s an update to the r4 version, there is no r5. On that page in the downloads is the link to it
just wanna thanks everyone hard work for making the vita a better device.
too bad i m too stupid, otherwise i could have help too 
I have windows xp not windows 7
It works on both if that’s what you are asking
Well Monster Hunter Freedom Unite has left the Australian store, is it just me or did it take longer than usual
It’s typical Sony plus you have to remember it was the weekend.
So if it is now removed from store will wololo release the amazing vhbl :P?
Soon. Probably once it is pulled from all stores. Checking the US store now…
PSN store DOWN atm
It’s not down, it’s maintenance. Game has been removed in AUS already and I assume other regions. Just gota be patient
They removed the game from the U.S PSN store. Thank goodness I got the game few days ago. Now I just wait for the VHBL files. Fuck yeah!
Thank you thank you! I completely uninstalled OpenCMA180 that was giving me errors, and deleted. Then I reinstalled the current version of CMA. Then used Ctrl Alt Del and stopped all CMA processes running. The I followed the instructions in this post re running run.bat as an administrator. Shazam….OpenCMA now works on my Eu 180 Vita in flight mode! Thank you!!!
yay ^_^
Could I still download and use the open cma 1.80 without the vhbl?
Yes you can still use OpenCMA without VHBL
You from Guam?
Well roumour has it that site maintanance is removing Monster Hunter from all stores, among other things. wonder if all versions of monster hunter get removed or even just updated. Will wololo wait till they test after the update to see if Monster hunter is back and test to see if its been patched? Then we may get VHBL release!
The waiting is frustrating to say the least.
Yeah its a killer haha
Maintenance was scheduled awhile back so it was just convenient for them to pull it during.
They never patch the games themselves; they blacklist them in subsequent firmwares to prevent the exploit from triggering.
guys i have got a question…which version of cma i need for vhbl? i just need the last one and then patch with this one so i dont have to be on internet for files transfer?
You just need CMA 1.80. Open CMA 1.80 would be better so that internet is no longer required and so that sony cannot know what’s being transferred to and from your Vita. But Open CMA is not a requirement. Just suggested.
I dont think you can copy hacked save files with out Open CMA or PSP files to install homebrews.
So Open CMA is very needed.
Oh yeah I believe your right. If you have a save file that was created from an unsigned game on a hacked psp, you may not be able to transfer it without Open CMA. But I don’t know for sure.
How do we know if open cma connects to servers when wifi is on or not? Even though we may be able to transfer files offline, this does not mean for sure that sony still can’t see what we do when wifi is enabled on the pc. Correct me if thats not the case and that open cma totally removes connections to sony.
Does any one know if that’s correct?
It removes all connection, if you feel safer turning both vita WiFi and PC internet off you can.
wouldn’t it be easier once CMA is installed to block internet connection to it with a firewall
If you mean blocking the official cma with a firewall, you cant as the official cma has to connect to their servers the entire time.
i have open cma installed i just blockefd it with a firewall so i dont have to disable my net, i just turn flight mode on on the vita works perfect
you could but the whole point of open CMA is so you dont have to do all of that :p
Haven’t had a problem since installing this update fix. Thanks. and I’m happy running vhbl on my white ps vita from japan
Srry if this is a dumb question but I installed the new 180 with the fix in it, but all it does is make the ability to transfer without being online correct? Is there a way to put snes on it without vhbl?
Must say that would be awesome but I don’t believe the psvita will play them like that. I think an exploit would be required.
Thats not all it does, read the last paragraph of my post for a description of it. And no.
I seriously don’t understand why my vita is not detecting the open CMA when I clearly followed all the steps to working it -_- Any help?
Are you getting an error? Or it just wont show up?
It just tells me that it doesn’t find content manager, am I soppose to keep CMS up on the pc cuz I thought I had to exit CMS from pc
What if i use regular CMA to put the file to my ps vita?
Nothing, it should still work. Just safer to do it offline so sony can’t butt in with forced updates and all their other spiteful spitefulness….
im getting an electronic cigarrete one i click the 1.80 to download … weird it work nice once but ISP crashed on the middle of waiting for DL now its messed .
Any one else having this issue?
Never mind lol sorry not enoguh sleep tried again: Theres a smal larrow on top that says “skip this add”

Yep, I can confirm this as well. I’d still be hesistant to download it at this point though. Sony may have pulled a ninja patch during maintainence.

Mhh do anybody have an idea? I install the normal CMA new. (Withhout connecting the Vita at the end or connecting to internet.) Then I try to install the Open CMA step by step as shown in the read me. (Bevor starting the run.bat I kill all CMA processes.) After this, and starting CMA, the CMA freezes, and processor runs with 100% and nothing happens. Killing CMA and restart doesn’t help, only uninstall and reinstall. (But as I said, after installing Open CMA and starting it, then it freezes.) Running XP SP3.
Me to, having the same issue. Installed everything as admin but open cma freezes and cpu processing on 100%
Windows Xp SP3 (for the record)!
Can someone help me. Windows wont let me open opencma 1.807z. It keeps telling me it needs to know what program to open it with.
Mhh maybe you try 7zip http://www.7-zip.org/ or WinRAR should also work. After extracting the archive follow the tutorial…
PLEASE READ THIS:
FOR EVERYONE WITH THE INFAMOUS ERROR (E-80182014) JUST CLICK ON PSP2-UPDATELIST WITH RIGHT BUTTON AND CHOOSE EDIT AND IN BEGIN CHANGE region id=”jp”> TO YOUR REGION EXAMPLE: european
(region id =”eu”>) united states (region id =”us”>)
NOW CLOSE AND SAVE IF NOT SAVE AUTOMATICALLY COPY PSP2-UPDATELIST TO YOUR DOCUMENTS NOW YOU CAN CHANGE AND SAVE NOW COPY AGAIN FOR THE CMA AND REPLACE.
Hello,
When I click on the link to the fix for Open CMA to download itself opens a page where a window opens, if you want to enter or leave the page.
In any case, the page freezes and has probably a Trojan on the computer.
This is all the scrap Wololo page
I can not seem to get Open CMA to work, I install CMA fresh then I proceed to copy the files to the directory and run the open CMA .bat file, but It shows a bunch of errors and will not work. Any advice?
On windows 7 you need to run as administrator.
is there any way to know that opencma is running apart from trying it with the wifi off? cause i had no errors whatsoever from my first try so im kinda paranoid that it didnt work lol
My firewall caught Open CMA 5.0 trying to connect to a UK website, anyone else noticed this?
It wasn’t just localhost either, it was an IP address beginning 178.x.x.x. I thought this was supposed to stay offline.
