Unpatchable Bubbles?
Vita firmware update 3.50 which was released today blocks custom bubbles. Though the famous VHBL dev 173210 has his own ways to make bubbles on Vita.
It was expected that Sony would patch bubble trick on Vita firmware 3.50 so it was no surprise when people found out custom bubbles released by Tom & mr.Gas don’t work anymore. Just after the news spreading about custom bubbles are patched on twitter, developer 173210 tweeted about his unpatchable bubbles.
@ReRepRep “Unpatchable” bubbles… Yes, I like “unpatchable” exploits 😉

After that, he posted a video of his custom bubbles working on 3.50. He also says these bubbles can be backed up via CMA too.

As of now, this different method of creating bubbles will not be released but it is still great to see that bubbles are not completely patched.

nice.. mayb it’ll release sometime.
Bringing back the PKG installer would be a huge step if it works with custom bubbles.
Awesome to hear. I’m still jetlagged on 3.18.
Can’t even use my Vita until I upgrade to newer firmware to do wireless file transfer. Sucks having the special USB port break on you rofl.
Using a proxy like Vita Update Blocker lets you connect your vita wirelessly even if you are on a lower firmware.
I have used Vita Update Blocker and it would work, but it still came up with the need to update dialog or an error. Even had a router set up for a dedicated network just to be sure and it still gave same results.
I should probably post on the forum more often I guess. :c
Only things I can transfer is music/photos/movies, sometimes it still tosses error at me.
yeah, talk forums are more suited than this. I can confirm i can transfer ePSP stuff wirelessly to my Vita with the combination of OpenCMA/QCMA and Vita Update blocker.
After fiddling with it a bit more, I finally got it to work. Thanks, I referred to some of your recent posts for the help also.
Unpoppable bubbles 😀
I’m still torn about updating past 3.18, because there was some web-based native exploit or something? (I have no idea how any of this works.)
There is a webkit exploit being worked on. It supports up to 3.20.
what about the 3.18 ??
3.18 rocks. You can of course continue to use custom bubbles. Sony will not magically patch them unless you update.
Cool. Thks. Sounds good.
If it’s unpatchable why not release ? :p
Unpatchable doesn’t always mean what it sounds like.
Usually it means someone is going to have to change a lot in the system to fix it, and lot of people think no one is up to the task.
There’s been plenty of “unpatchables” in the scene, couple get patched.
Also, it’s only been one day since 3.50 dropped, sure 173210 wants to see if there’s any bug, or anything else he could toss into a package. Don’t want to push sloppy work and let users suffer with possible bricks on hand.
173210 is a girl! :0 cute nails !!!lol
is it a girl, it is nice to see her hands 🙂
omgfbbdffvbbb…..get lost virgin.
first
Why always talking about “Unpatchable” exploit ? Nothing is unpatchable. Some things are more difficult to patch than others but there is always a way to correct an exploit.
We know all about Qwikrazor “unpatchable” exploit which is finally patched by Sony before it was released.
Meanwhile in Sony
Hmm unpatchable exploit?
Let’s remove the feature then!
Firmware 3.60 released
Livearea has been completely removed from vita
And Livelier area has been released
The bubble have turn into flat square like windows 8
LOL thanks for the morning laugh!
So does this mean ark2 wont work if I update im on the 3.35 firmware via numblast exploit
That’s fine ..but people how about PSvita games …is it impossible to enjoy playing hacked vita games someday ? since all the talk is about the old psp insted of psvita games !!
The Spongebob Picture is so HDalistic.
We should set the bubble image to cherries and send pics to Sony. It could become a meme, “Kazuo Hirai can’t pop cherries.”.
