Working PSP Kernel Exploit on Vita 2.0! Future releases….
Some very good news, Frostegater has a working PSP kernel exploit on the new Vita firmware 2.0!
With the recent firmware update issued for the Playstation Vita all of the recent exploits that have been released were patched including the recent Urbanix, Mad Blocker and Gravity Crash exploits for 1.81. That update also brought along some concerns as to whether Sony had permanently patched the method used to running Total_Noobs popular TN-C eCFW. Now, some new developments have been made not long after the new Vita firmware 2.0 update in addition to the Hello World featured on Wololo’s article.
Developer Frostegater already has a working pspemu kernel exploit, on the latest Vita 2.0 official firmware update (this was first announced by TheZ yesterday, and Wololo got confirmation directly from Frostegater today). This proves that Sony hasn’t patched all vectors to run eCFW, and means that there is a future for more exploit releases especially for those who have updated. Frostgater is already hard at work at trying to port TN-C to this new kernel exploit.
So if you updated and lost yours or simply missed all of the chances that were present over the last few months, check back as your future looks very bright for an exploit release that can run eCFW on the 2.0 Vita firmware update. If you have not already gotten an exploit and are holding out on a lower firmware its probably best to update, but that’s a personal decision you’ll have to make.
On a side note, for those who have asked, we confirmed Open CMA still works on firmwares lower than 2.00 and everything should be working normally with your exploits.



I have MBA and Urbanix exploits working but if a new exploit is relased at 2.00 I feel like updating so I can get the new browser.
But by now i guess is better to just keep waiting.
Yes. Although we do our best to not spread lies here, as long as it’s not released, it’s as good as nothing. Many things can happen until the port is complete and in a releasable state, so don’t update just based on this piece of news 🙂
thats my view as well
I would only update when the game name is released.
i agree glad my vita is in the pawn shop right now so im not tempted to update lol god i need to get it out i miss it so much
I have a *somewhat working* exploit on a newly released psp game on the store which is *********************** and I have the FLASH working but it crashed after several moments. (I know its NOT the H.BIN).
Great news ! I love PSP homebrews on my Vita 🙂 Keep the good work !
great news but ill wait a bit before i update 🙂
Yes! I think I can update safely knowing that something will come eventually for 2.00. Thanks Frostegater, Wololo and The Z for such an amazing job!
who say that is gonna be realse for 2.00? the last one kxploit was realsed because a leak… and vita need some support from sony and others companies.
ya..sam jordan is a true hero after all!!!!!
correct me if i am wrong
Wrong, now we dont have proshell or ps1 support xC
rally,,,i wonder if that would have ever ben released…2-3 years atleast
Sam was simply an idiot 🙂
yes i 2nd that, your absolutely wrong. leaking someone else work for 15 min. of fame wont do you good, look at what happened to him and his name even leaves a bad taste to our mouth.
yeah eventually, only 1 day later
i didn’t understand, does the OpenCMA work with a PSVita on the OWF 2.0 ?
Nope OpenCMA works well on lower firmware than 2.00
I updated for the updated ps1 emu and the mail client which is surprisingly good. Ive long since played every psp game id want to on my old psp so ecfw isnt that imp ortant. Good job though
Great news! The only thing that would suck for me updating is losing the speed at which the mad blocker exploit loads. Both super collapse and monster hunter took forever w multiple buttons to push. IMHO minis are the ideal games to exploit given the small size, low cost and quick load. Hopefully there are more of them out there.
Same here. I have MHU, Urbanix and MBA and MBA is really convenient because of the loading time 🙂
i guess ill be waiting for the working open cma, and an exploit for gravity crash on 2.00 🙂
If a new exploit on the new 2.0 OFW do come out, will all of our old PSP saves still be there after updating from 1.81 to 2.0?
Can anyone confirm if coldbirds proshell is patched?
does this means we should buy another game to run the new exploit or will this work on other previous exploit even if we update..?
I dont think this will work on previous exploits, be ready to buy another game, if u want to use the exploit that is.
does anybody knows if the psn store updated already, cause I feel really tempted to update because of those free games.
those games are not free! you need a membership and membership cost money!!
A big thank you to Frostegater ,Total_Noob , wololo, and any all contributing Developers. With out you guys this would almost be impossible. Keep up the good work. P.s does anyone know how to get PS all-stars BR on the vita without update? 1.81ecfw tn. Some homebrew corruption but some run just fine.
I got mine before the store forces you to update. So right now you are out of luck unless you purchase it from psn.
When this releases, it will be my first opportunity to take part in eCFW. I look forward to exploring the possibilities that these releases bring, and will be refreshing the talk forums constantly in the coming days/weeks 🙂
Same old cat + mouse game, they’ll never fix that. Just, this is no real progress in psvita.
gj anyway though!
nice to see that people are capable of kernel exploits now and not just spraying for game bugs.
GREAT! 😀
GREAT!!!

Damn… at my pc it was better…
wow that was quick. well done guys, keep it up! i hope to see proper working vita cfw by 2013 😀 if i knew the workings of a psvita, i would try my best to help.
Fxxk, I WISH SONY WOULD OF PATCHED THE PSP KERNEL VECTORS SO NO MORE PSP KERNEL EXPLOITS WOULD WORK, THAT WAY THE DEVS WOULD BE “FORCED” THE RELEASE A USER MODE VITA LOADER, GOD DAMM1T!!!!!!!!
Calm down
go get a life bro =)
going nuts ?
you realize of course that a dev would not be “forced” to release a Vita exploit… the devs who discover those already have access, and will have access longer if they don’t release them. and while they would be encouraged to share them with other devs and that might increase the chances of a release, there would really be no guarantee. I think it’s better that the PSP emu kernel exploits last as long as possible.
Hey errm, shut the heck up.
Your credibility drops five percent wi
Gracias por todo
Nearly a Year now and the Vita wasn’t fully hacked quite frustrating 🙁
1 year is frustating???
The PS3 is finally hacked after 3 years lol
So expect 3-4 years for the full vita hack 🙂
3??? I think was at least 4
Sony has been very slow with PS2 re-releases which makes a CFW so necessary in my opinion. OK I can understand that the Vita games aren’t there yet but what of the PSX/PS2 libraries? I would love to have Shadow of the Colossus or Tenchu WOH on my handheld. Apparently Sony has a completely different idea of what they want on the Vita though despite the addition of a second analog stick. http://www.computerandvideogames.com/367158/sony-discouraging-vita-ports-to-avoid-repeating-psp-mistakes/
If i were a cynic I’d say they want the Vita to be just another gimmicky touch-screen handheld for non-gamers.
that’s strange, OpenCMA still works for me firmware 2.00, i only use backup and restore
really ? I don’t think it’d work without an internet connection..
Yeah thats what i mean.
Yes, i disconnected my internet connection before i try the OpenCMA
Great work, guys. Derailing warning: Since Final Fantasy Tactics is a free PSPlus game, I thought I’d mention an awesome patch.
Obviously you need TN CFW to use it but there is a patch to get rid of the annoying slowdowns when characters are using attacks in the Vita version. It is a tremendous improvement.

Nice but… this probably involve there will be a new “cat & mouse” game(race) what’s making me tired. I guess this is what i have to pay for. since i never had a psp and the gamemarket is nearly poor i still bet on keep my v1.81 working
Thank you! TN-C released and patched so soon, is good to hear that its life will be longer.
In the past there was a mention about a possible vita exploit (im i wrong?) what about that. Do the 2.0 affect this?
UVL has been put on hold… so unless someone else who was aware of that Vita exploit has begun work on their own loader, I think it’s gonna be a while before we see a native Vita exploit.
This is probably all the more true since the majority of users will be happy to have a PSPemu kernel exploit, so the Vita exploits can be “saved” for later on and consistently used by the people who discovered them.
Is it the same kernel exploit, that Total Noob used for his eCFW? In other words: Did Sony patches anything in the PSPemu or did they only blacklist the usermode exploits via Vita OFW?
Does anyone has infos about that?
what I heard implied that this was a second kxploit, and that both the usermode exploits and the TN kernel exploit were patched in 2.00
>=O
No one cares about vita exploits?
i mean, sony cant be so dumb to release a new ofw without thinking about the main purpose of his device and his security. “Common, let us fix those minor security issues. We fix the rest later…”
are u takin me for a trol
can someone help me i got motorstorm arctic edge on ps vita
how do i play psp games confused
Fxcc WERE IS SAM JORDAM WHEN U NEED HIM, I HOPE HE LEAKS A FULL VITA CFFWWWW!!!!!!!!!#!######## 🙂
Hes a batch xD
Your girl likes it 😮
Great news! Badly needing an openCMA for 2.0 though..
I expecting selling my psvita, the psvita don’t have any system seller, I waste my money on CoD and Assassins Creed this end of year, now sony just seens to care about one release, a uncharted card game and expecting, no more good releases (if there’s any) until the next E3, hope i sell it and grab more money and get a WII U or a PS3, the psvita only potential is a iso loader and full exploit from vita system, don’t give a *** about it’s in the his first year and ***, sony don’t give a *** anyway, so… *** it! I’m out, who know’s in the future vita could kick ***, by now until next year E3, I hope sony learn how to get a *** kicked, sory the bad english, I don’t know how to speak it anyway :p
What i don’t understand is why can’t sony just blacklist every game on the get go instead of just those that were found exploitable. For those that were patched it seems as almost nothing has changed. i love having ecfw but it’s almost as if sony wants us to “explore” this device beyond there intentions.
A better question would be ‘why doesn’t sony just hire someone to check for exploits before a game is added to PSN?’ I mean, it’s written in fairly black and white how to find exploits in games. Would probably be too annoying to check every single current game, but surely a few hours out of the day to check new titles wouldn’t set them back very far. But then again, we all know what goes on at sony.. http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=310
Just updated after reading this post. I’ve gotta say im definately liking the browser improvements!
Good news, everyone! I just found out we’ll have a PSP ksploit on vita!
Hurry the *** up and release the goods!
