PS Vita Firmware 3.35 – What changed under the hood?
While we have already told you what the new firmware 3.35 officially does, let us take a look ‘under the hood’, and check if they’ve added new security features, patched new exploit games, and so on…
It is well known that Sony patched the WebKit exploit and blocked the Package Installer as of firmware 3.30, but basically every leaked firmware 3.18 exploit game was somewhat usable on firmware 3.30.
This was demonstrated with the game Go! Sudoku, which has now been patched as of firmware 3.35. This makes it the second patched ‘firmware 3.18 exploit game’, next to Z.H.P. – Zettai Hero Project, while most others are technically still usable.
I said technically because some special restrictions apply to these ‘well known exploit games’, which prevent an easy port of the VHBL to these games.
Some of these games were already VHBL compatible on firmware 3.18 (those were never released, since we had something better for you: ARK-2 & TN-V), but now struggle to run anything at all.
The one game we worked on and tried to port VHBL to it, for firmware 3.30, that is, was Go! Sudoku. Sony noticed this and patched the exploit in firmware 3.35.
Technically one could grab one of the other ‘leaked firmware 3.18 exploit games’ and try the very same we tried with Go! Sudoku, but to be honest, the results weren’t the best, so it might be better to let those restricted exploits rest in peace.
If one uses a new exploit game, one that has not been part of the leaked games for firmware 3.18, one will see that it is much easier to port anything at all to it, since these ‘special restrictions’ do not apply.
As you can see in the embedded video, it is possible to run the Half Byte Loader on a firmware 3.35 PS Vita, as long as you use the right game for this.
In the end I would like to remind you to not ask us about another kernel exploit, because as of now no eCFW, neither TN-V nor ARK-2, has been confirmed to run on firmwares 3.3x, at least publicly.
Lol. 1st!
Aha WiN.
Lol. Silly Z! I had a question. The Download Queue trick trick no longer works for FW 3.18?
I was wondering that as well. I’ve had zero luck getting it to work since the new update came out.
Should work for 3.30, should not work with anything older than 3.30.
is impossible to downgrade the fw a ps vita?
I wanted someone who understands like you, explain to me how the system anti downgrade of vita it works.
It should work like every other system too.
Checks installed firmware, checks firmware you wants to install.
If the already installed firmware is higher, it prevents the downgrade.
then it is impossible to downgrade the fw ??
You can’t provide useful information to other users and be first.
Pls understand.
Come on, Jake from the lake… stop whining.
i buy a ps vita and its running a 3.35 firmware
how can i or can i play psp games on it how?and what files do i need?
Hey noob, English so everyone can understand. What you said wasn’t anything special to brag about though… meh.
Google Translate.
Not possible, it has been already blocked. Do you know how to read, dude?
No
NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION! (applies to this comment section)
Short translation for LOL mtfddd post for our fellow non bilingual friends: “I have a way to install the package installer on fw3.30, but I will not disclose it until I can check if it works well for me, so sony will not block it, also Im working on a custom FW modifying some files within the pup file (the updated fw file), those files had restrictions about piracy and modifying it we can run the package installer.” This was a fast translation made by me, I really don’t know if he has the tools or the knowledge to do it, maybe some kid trying to get attention, because the pup decrypter has benn on the scene for a long time and no one was able to do something with them.
Useless. Even if you can invoke the PKG Installer on 3.3x, you cant actually use it.
El tuyo es muy bajo como para no poder comentar en inglés, si ese idioma es t´´an facil…
Persia doesn’t even exist on any current map, regardless of how proud you are of your culture. You guys have a history of tolerance problems (claiming “nobody” when it’s only your own feeling).
fu, it’s thanks to your attitude and lack of touch that “Hispanics” are being looked down upon worldwide. Seriously, learn English and get a clue.
Guys i’m using skate park city as my exploit game should i go to 3.30? i’m currently using 3.18 ..
sorry for my bad english
noooooooooooooooooooo dont even think about it
Just translate using babelfish.com 🙂
Wow, Z, you already got HBL working on 3.35?? That was fast. Awesome.
Well yeah thanks for the heads-up about 3.35 anyhow.. another worthless update.
Half byte loader in 3.35.It seems Sony firmwares are not secure at all.
I’ve been trying to figure out how to put VHBL on my vita, I bought it yesterday and the previous owner already upgraded it to 3.35, The Zett has many videos showing off that it’s possible but none explaining the A,B,C of how t do it.
Any help?
Hi Goodfellow, did you find any help?
hello? D: i,m also wondering WHYYY heve doesnt explains it completly good…got somfin new? cuz i want the vhbl :c please answer if you got the game which can be exploited in 3.35 :3
Tenemos a un niño rata por acá… lo que faltaba, tu nacionalidad no define si eres inteligente o no, instead of complainning why you dont share your “intelligence” with developers to make a native homebrew o something like that? flammer!
En base a su comentarios, lo unico que el rata ese quiere es piratería :v
Eres imbécil o te haces?
Eso no sirve, las licencias van ligadas a las cuentas de PSN
No.
What’s with all of these Mexican & French immigrants in the comment section? lolnotevenserious

en serio está diciendo todo eso públicamente así tan despreocupado?, si está trabajando en ese tipo de cosas coma calladito y verá que cuando haga avances importantes puede compartir la información de manera privada con grandes coders de la scene, y hacer algo probablemente más grande, pero si va diciendo que va a poner links y todos los procesos mejor mandele un correo a los de SONY directamente.
además si esto es real, las personas que lo hayan descubierto antes y esten trabajando en ello no van a estar a gusto con que su trabajo se vaya a la basura porque lo publicaron antes de tiempo.
Yo no hablar espanol. Tango grande las cornitos por que tu…. Abarodo….. Anyhow, I finally get home internet after over a years lapse… I may become more active….. Oh, El Toro casabe mas que tu :->
Kind of disappointed that I updated to 3.30. I’ll just remain on that firmware in hopes of a new native exploit. Been wanting emulators on my vita since I bought it.
So there most likely will be no releases for 3.30/35 ?
Cool and iam stuck hear still got to get me a new laptop. But i thought the vita firmware was at 1.80 and 2.80. my bad though i meanthe vita hardware was an old design.

Hey guys, vita newbie, looking to play snes,nes games ect on my new Vita 3.35, is this possible ? Please take the time to reply, appreciated.
So what’s the case in a nutshell after 3.30, they blocked webkit exploits(did they actually update the webkit or?) is the current exploit hunting like the one in the psp era?
I was absent for a lot of time from the scene and now i am coming back better and wiser lel.
Planning to join the “hunt”.
I would like a small brief paragraph for the current situation like the one you guys made for pre -3.30.
Thanks in advance.
