Did you miss the Ninja Release? Then hurry up and get eCFW!
Well, if you don’t have VHBL/eCFW but are still on OFW 1.81, then hurry up because using this method you will be able to get the eCFW by Total_Noob running on your Vita!
Mad Blocker Alpha, Gravity Crash and Urbanix are back on the PSN, so if you follow this guide you will be able to run the eCFW on your 1.81 Vita.
You need a PSVita (with 1.81 OFW), a PS3, Open CMA 4.5 (and money on your PSN Account 🙂 ). I personally recommend Mad Blocker Alpha because it’s the cheapest but you can get any of the exploitable games (Urbanix, Mad Blocker Alpha, and Gravity Crash) .
- Once you’ve got everything prepared, run Open CMA and connect your PSVita to your PC. Open Content Manager on the Vita and when it asks you if you want to transfer content simply disconnect your Vita from the PC but with Content Manager still open.
- Then, press OK and connect your Vita with your PS3, choose “Connect with a PS3 system” and the transferring screen should appear again.
- Then, download the exploited game you want from the PS3 and download it but DO NOT INSTALL IT.
- Choose copy content from the PS3 to the Vita, then go to Applications and PSP/Others.
- Go to Applications downloaded from the PS3 and now select the game and copy it to the Vita.
- Now download the Savedata (make sure to select the one for the game you chose), copy it with open CMA and you’ve got eCFW on your PSVita!
Note by wololo: it seems Charles proxy does not allow you to connect to the PSN anymore if you’re below 2.00. Please confirm this statement, or let us know in the comments if you managed to buy content from the PSN on 1.81 without the need for a PS3.

Thank you for the hint Wololo and keep on showing us your wealthy knowledge.
Any chance the new exploit will be back ported to these games sometime in the future?
Wait the game’s exploit itself is blocked in 2.00/2.01 update? i think my iQ must of droped sorry
I was pretty excited until I saw it wasn’t 2.00/2.01. I upgraded to the newer firmware because you guys said there was an exploit coming out for it. I really regret upgrading…
Relax the new exploid will come
Great wololo work with me Mad blocker alpha
The psp game compatibility is quite high BUT most games won’t run unless they’re 1:1 copies right now. So, no removing firmware updates or shrinking/removing movies, etc.
It’s a pain to set up at first, but once you get the hang of it, it works like a charm. I urge the experienced users to please help the noobs as it can be quite confusing in the beginning.
1.81 and 4.5
I got a GREEN screen in HomeBrew mode but dont see any ISO although I put FIFANTSY.ISO and http://FTP.ZIP (in gamesave data) but nothing showed up! Any ideas? Thanks
RUN with MBA, recently just purchase!
quite surprised they didnt remove it again lol
I’m running 1.69 on Vita and don’t have a PS3, and don’t have any of the PSN games
Can someone point me in the right direction on howto install eCFW or if it’s even possible
Para los que tienen 1.81 y quieren usar sus juegos gratis de paystation plus y no quieren actualizar 2.0.1 para no perder el custom firmware
Asegúrate de que OpenCMA está funcionando en tu PC y conecta la Vita a través del cable.
Abre Content Manager en la Vita y cuando salga la pantalla que te pregunta si quieres transferir archivos desconecta la Vita desde el PC pero NO cierres el Content Manager en la Vita, recibirás un error “El PC ha sido desconectado", es normal, presiona OK.
Conecta el cable de datos de la Vita a la PS3, elige “Conectar a un Sistema PS3″ y debería salir la pantalla de transferencia de nuevo.
Si llegas a este punto, entonces compra el juego en tu PS3 y descárgalo, pero no lo instales.
Bajo “Copiar Contenido" elige “Sistema PS3 —> Sistema PS VIta", luego “Applicaciones", luego “PSP/Otros", luego “Applicaciones Descargadas en el Sistema PS3″ luego elige el juego y selecciona Copiar.
[B][COLOR=”Yellow”][U]Es cierto que al conectar la vita a la play te pide la actualizacion pero si sigues correctamente el tutorial veras que no te pedira ninguna actualizacion yo tengo playstation plus y ahorita para la vita hay varios juegos gratis los he descargado atravez de la ps3 y por este metodo los he metido a la vita y waaaaaaaalaaaaaaa ningun problema todos son plenamente jugables sin ningun solo problema incluso el de wipeout te pide una actualizacion del juego pero te permitejugarlo y descargando la actualizacion resulta que solo se instala en el juego no afecta el software de la consola asi que atraves de este metodo puedes aprovechar las ventajas del playstation plus el unico requisito es tener la pc la vita y ps3 la pc la tengo con el cma r4.5 no el r5 la ps3 con la ultima actualizacion y la vita con el 1.81. Es 100% comprobado ninguno de los juegos gratuitos de playstation plus tiene errores o incompatibilidad con el firmware 1.81 ya todos probados si tienes playstation plus aprovecha este fallo antes de que sony lo corrija.[/U][/COLOR][/B]
does this work for ofw 1.80?
Hi is there a tutorial on how to update to a lower firmware like 1.81 my ps vita is 1.80 right now and my ps3 is 4.21 rex cfw. Thanks.
so how do i put vhbl on to vita?
呜呜呜呜，破解一直赶不上啊，ps3也没有，怎么办啊
ah…I can understand your article but I cant express my opinion in English clearly Im a Chinese!
This better be something else better than that other *** that was released last time.
I am on ofw 4.31 and I can’t download the mad blocker alpha 🙁 It keep erroring when I try to download and it said activating and give me a error code.
thanks for the eCFW, wololo! my vita was in the closet for too long and this helped me bring my psp games to the vita. now i can’t seem to put it down anymore ^.^
Well…that leaves me out. I don’t have a PS3 to download the game(s) with. Is it still possible to do it without one?
hello i have 1.80 ofw but i have the game one the ps3
but i dont have a psn account in my vita
how and what can i do?
If you have a PSN account for PS3, it’s the same. Sign in to the PSN Store on your Vita using your PSN credentials. If you have multiple accounts for zone reasons, use the credentials for the current memory card in your Vita.
Hi is this Will work to transfer apps ps vita from ps3? Like Youtube
My ps vita has 1.80 ofw ….thanks
Mine was still 1.81 but don’t have a ps3 :\
Hi
I recently got a PS Vita as a present from someone who never used it and it is still on 1.06 (!). Is there a way to update to 1.81 (and not to 2.01 which is already out now)? Thanks!
Thanks, everything worked fine for me.
One stupid question though, how do I transfer my psp savegames to the vita – couldn’t find anything on it.
@Tim
You can update to 1.81 with charlesproxy, there is a link to the tut on the first page of comments I believe.
is there a way to do that without a PS3? cuz i dont have one…
installed it today, still works. Just note that sometimes, when you go to copy stuff over, the copy will immediately fail for no reason. No problem, just start the copy again and it will work
bonsoir j’ai une vita 1.81 et quand j’ouvre open cma il me demande de faire une mise a jour que faire?????
Help, when I connected my PSV into my PS3 there’s always a message [quit all software you’re running on PS3 system]
@Ecchi Same problem here is how I fixed it: Just start a PS3/PSN game and hit PS Button/Quit back to XMB. Then reconnect your PS3-Vita and try it again.
PLS Note you have to back up your PS Vita to your PC before doing this exploit! Otherwise the PSAVEDATA/ahfeaf0874/ folder won’t exist.
Put the appropiate CEF 6.60 TN savedata in there and start the game.
To all I used EU Urbanix game still works as of 28/12/2012
Is this still possible if I’m on 1.81 ?
