Content On PS Vita Without Updating, Using Proxy, or a PS3
This is a method for those of you who want either an exploitable or any game for your PS Vita, but have issues with proxies, don’t have a PS3, and/or don’t want to update. I originally saw it here, but it was removed by the user. Then, I saw it here. This method can be used to acquire any of these unpatched exploit games.
Here is what you will need:
- PS Vita on FW 2.60+
- PSN Account
- Computer (or anything capable of accessing your PSN account that is not a PlayStation console)
How it’s done
Fully power off your PS Vita. On your computer, navigate to the Sony PSN Store. Log in to your account.
If you haven’t bought the game that you want, do that. Next, hover over your PSN name and click on “Download List”.
Once at your download list, click “Download to your PS Vita” on the game that you want.
Just to be sure that your game will download, at the top of your page click “Download Queue”.
Turn on your PS Vita and wait for the spinny circle on your notification bubble. If you wait a while and nothing happens, restart your Vita and it should work. You now have a game on your PS Vita without updating or any of the previous hassle.
Kind of related, but I would recommend pondering this video:

How to transfer psp games without the update? Open CMA is not working with 3.01.
if you’re on 3.01 then you must be using TN-V8? then you can use the FTP feature in there.
1. Launch the FTP Connection on the XMB, Settings column. FTP Server will start and show a url.
2. On PC, click on Start Button and do Search, type the url on VITA screen. a folder will open, it is your VITA-PSP root storage.
3. On the root storage, create a folder named ISO.
4. Copy your PSP ISOs to the ISO folder. copy speed will based on your internet upload speed. so if you have slow upload speed (like me) it will be slow.
5. Once ISO finished copying, stop FTP on VITA and go to Game column, Memory Stick. your games will be there and no need to install or whatever.
this method is the only way i can transfer ISOs to my vita right now on 3.01. the bad thing is that if your VITA goes into Standby mode, the FTP Connection drops. so gotta keep touching the VITA screen to keep it from going into Standby. and the copying speed. with my slow internet upload speed, it takes a while for a big ISO to finish.
Just use qcma
1- put ur vita in airplane mode
2-restart ur vita
3-make sure there is no cma running on ur pc
4-run qcma and connect ur vta to the pc via usb and that’s it
This won’t push games through for me. The ONLY thing that continues to download is that *** firmware update. FFS..
I think this method has been blocked by sony; it worked a week ago for me for 3.01/3.10 now it doesnt work…
Proxy trick : Blocked
Download queue : Blocked
So does this still work? I did everything above, but nothing is happening on my Vita. Not sure if I’m signed in or not(and if I’m not, there’s no way to sign in, since everytime I go to Settings > PSN it tells me to update). Also, I’m on version 3.01.
Same here
It worked 2 weeks ago, but not today anymore :(.
I am on version 3.01 too.
Does this method still work?
Hi. the game won’t download to my ps vita. I am on firmware 3.15.
I am also on 3.15 and have Vouchers for PSN. Is this way to install games withoud update the firmware still possible?
this does work
Running OFW 3.36
does it work on FW 3.51?
ps vita
(^_^) vs (^_^)
up until what firmware does this work?
TESTED 3.52 – – works
TESTED — 3.52 — works
Working on 3.55 right now. If it’s not working for you, make sure you’re not using VitaUpdateBlocker.
If it doesnt download imediately, just shutdown and restart your vita, its working on 3.55 this way
Does it work on FW 1.8…?
Does your PS Vita need to be activated in order to make this trick work? Once I get to the part where I attempt to download the Loco Poco Midnight Carnival Demo, I am able to get to the Download List. Only problem is that the button only says “Download…” followed by a link on “How to activate your device.” Should I attempt to download a full game instead? I’m trying to install the TN-V11 exploit on my PS Vita on 3.18 without an exploited game.
Thanks for your help 🙂
