Sony patches a few exploits, VHBL and Hello World appear for Vita FW 3.00 on day 1
The release of Vita firmware 3.00 earlier today brought several new features that The Z described to us here, but also the fear that some of the many exploits existing within the PSP emulator of the Vita would be patched.
As expected, the latest VHBL port for the “pawa puro” exploit released a few weeks ago by Japanese developer 173210 has been patched in firmware 3.00. If you rely on this exploit to run your homebrews on Firmware 2.61, then upgrading to firmware 3.00 will make you lose the exploit.
Maybe more importantly, The Z was initially reporting that some undisclosed VHBL ports are not working anymore on firmware 3.00.. It is very rare that Sony patches specific game exploits that haven’t been made public yet, so it was initially feared that they might have patched VHBL for good with their latest firmware.
This was doubtful though, as The Z and KanadeEngel quickly confirmed with a working PSP Hello world on Vita 3.00
Dev 173210 was also quick to confirm one of his other exploits still works, and so does his VHBL port to it. As he said, VHBL dies once again (with the pawa pro exploit shutdown), only to be resurrected 🙂
Other developers have also quickly confirmed that VHBL still works fine on 3.00
This however seems to confirm that Sony did patch two undisclosed exploits, or that some things changed significantly enough that it impacted some the VHBL ports The Z has access to
Of course, the big upcoming event for the scene is the release of TotalNoob’s TN-V 4, which is expected to be revealed soon along with a new game exploit, and will work on the latest firmware 3.00. I am still waiting for confirmation of his beta testers that TNV 4 still works on the latest Vita firmware, but I have no reason to believe it wouldn’t work, at this point. Fingers crossed!
entonces actualizo mivita en estos momentos o esper mas informacion ayuda con ello
No actualices, debes esperar a que salga TNV4 entre este mes de noviembre a enero.
Solo es un poco 😉
Iv updated already im just gana wait till there is a 3.0. exploit until then il play all my emus on my Samsung s4 that has the power for a gba emu lol. thanks Z keep up the good work.
VHBL is not at all saved. We can no longer load utilities if the game doesn’t import a function from it, so this means many games are now incompatible even with TN-V. As for those VHBL ports, they probably have enough imports to be able to load most important utilities, but other than that, VHBL, and TN-V, compatibility has been greatly reduced. We are trying to dump flash0 to investigate so we can have more solid proof, until now, our test determine what I just said.
Wouldn’t you be able to load any utilities you want with a kernel exploit? Sorry if it’s an obvious answer. I don’t know as much about PSP hacking as I would like.
some kernel exploits require us to load that utility before we can access the kernel exploit, so basically the amount of games that can use said kxploit will be greatly decreased.
Oh, right. Didn’t think of that. Thanks for the response.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZyQptl0wz0 jokes aside though, i really did expect them to do -something-, sony is all about blocking harmless things while turning a blind eye to things that should be fixed (like the Preparing to download…. bug.)
There’s also a JPEG exploit for 3.00
And a hack to sign (activate) full version of games downloaded from psn, using CFW ps3
Please do tell more about that,..
I don’t know if you are trustworthy
Source ?
There’s nothing in this update. Nothing at all. Except increased compatiblity with ps4, which i hope will be a monumental financial failure as punishment for the treatment of vita users the world over.
yea the parental security was a nice thouch
Useless
So 2 exploits went to waste and were hoping that the most important one still works? I knew it… I knew not releasing it would be a bad idea they should have just released it while it still works how disappointing… Everyone should have seen this coming…
Source ?
SO should i update to the 3.00 update? Im currently on 2.62 but dont have any hacks. Im waiting for TN-V release; will it be compatible with 3.00?
just wait to update and your wait will be well rewarded
eCFW TN-V4 work on fw 3.00 yes or no ???
Sorry my bad english
So an exploit game is coming with the release of TN-V4 as well?
Guess I better update to 3.00 just to prepare for it, I don’t have a PS3 to do the OpenCMA trick anyway.
