PS Vita/Playstation TV 3.51 firmware is coming soon
According to the latest tweet from PlayStation Europe, PS Vita and Playstation TV will have firmware update 3.51 soon.
No new features are expected in this update. It will probably block the ePSP exploit of Ape Escape: On the Loose which still hasn’t been pulled from the PSN store after three weeks. We can also assume it will block Pool Hall Pro / World of Pool too. You might want to get the Ape Escape: On the Loose exploit as this will probably be the last ePSP exploit for sometime.
Other than these exploits, there are vita custom themes, Playstation TV whitelist hack, Vita savedata decryption and an unknown PSM hack(?). Other than the savedata decryption, these are not publicly available yet, so it is unlikely for them to be blocked. Of course there is no way to be sure until the firmware 3.51 is released.
Various users reported slowdown or other issues with firmware update 3.50, i hope 3.51 will take care of the issues and really improve the stability, not just block the ePSP exploits.

PS Vita and PlayStation TV system update 3.51 is coming soon. It’s a minor update that will improve stability.

I guess I’ll wait untill we know more about the PSM stuff.
What would really be lovely is if it actually improved stability and ignored the ePSP exploits all together. lol
“Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer,
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!”
(^^)
Wait’n’see. Stability… If it was always improved, well the 1.80 FW would have BSOD every fscking 5 second 😀
man, you have the wildest imagination i have ever seen
With every release of a new fw that we all know that will not bring nothing new, I also dream with Sony leaving the Exploits in peace … BrBrHueHueHue
Since we hardly see new game releases for the Vita!
But to the dismay of Sony, I just watch theZett running VHBL in 3.51
As much as I’d like to see it improve stability, most likely all it’ll do is patch the known exploits and maybe even some of the unknown ones too.

But if you stay on older fw than 3.51 you can still purchase Ape Escape: On the Loose and use that exploit can´t you?? Of course if you have PS3 to transfer that game. Im on 3.15 but don´t have ps3 right now and I don´t won to update to 3.50 wich is (if I´m right) only way to exploit for non PS3 owners 🙁
Watch them make it so 3.51 Vitas can’t use the 1.21 PSM SDK.
I’d be fairly willing to bet on that one…
they won’t be able to patch an SDK with an update. They’ll patch the exploit entry point tho.
last and finish firmware. Beacause Sony bring soon psvita2
I doubt it will be called “Ps Vita 2” the entire world expected the Vita to be called PSP2.
Funny. In Unity, the PS Vita is referred to as the PSP2.
nope, PSP3… PSP2 used as internal name for PSVita, it will be confusing for developer.
Great little update, reprep. Thanks for the heads up. Keep up the awesome work man. 🙂
Ive got the psm program in my download list(3.18) i’ll can use the yifan exploit?
i mean with the download list trick
Share how you did it
Вам не надоело??Вы можете сделать реальный взлом Виты?
Устали? Нет! И если вы не следуете форум, выдвигает на веб-комплект, обещая!
“Tired? No! And if you’re not following the forum, advances with the web-kit are promising!”
Since I upgraded to 3.50 and had problems with the transfer of my games from my pc to psvita . suddenly the transfer papers process runs out forward and never moving it happens often . hopefully fix this tedious error in the next update
This is not a fw problem, it is an attempt from Sony to block new exploits… Giving you not just problems to copy/move but to rename folders too!
If I do the exploit with ape escape, and then patch to 3.51 (currently at 3.50), will I be unable to access my ARK mod?
Once you update to the newest firmware. Yes your exploit will become useless..So if you have an exploit game now..Say ape escape. And you update your vita..You will no longer be able to access the exploit as it was patched by sony’s update..Hope this answered your question
So do I update my PS TV or not? Still waiting for that whitelist proxy to get released…
“This will probably be the last ePSP exploit for sometime.” Everytime you say this, a new exploit is released about 1 to 2 months later.
LOL, you are probably right. But this time chances are really low.
I can confirm that the ps vita update blocker v1.2 is still working for those that are on 3.50.
So vitaupdateblocker will always work from firmware below the up to date one?
only one firmware below.
I’m in California and I have to update to 3.51 so the update is live
Hey guys, is it possible to buy PS Vita games from a PS3, and then transfer them to a PS Vita without the latest firmware?
I currently have ARK 3.50 and hope to keep everything loaded on it so far. Thanks!
yes..
Good to know, 3.50 it remains. Thanks!
You have to connect your psv to pc trough qcma to bypass the check for updates… Disconnect the cable from pc only (don’t remove from vita), plug on ps3, ignore the error and transfer the games!
Works for me on 3.18…
Ps.: Maybe not work every time, just keep trying!
Thanks for the tip, just got a Borderlands 2 PSN code but want to avoid 3.51 at the same time.
So I’ve been wondering, is it a good idea to update to 3.50 right now?
I’m still on 3.15.
No
I think I saw a tutorial on forum teaching how to update to a specific fw… If I was you, I would like to update to 3.18… The golden fw, the best kernel exploits are in there!
3.50/3.51? Not right now!
I wonder if it’s will fix
CMA freeze problem
Game crashes
Game freeze
UI lag
But knowing Sony they probably don’t care and didn’t fix the real problem because they are lazy
Yup Update 3.51 is live for EU region too.
yes i have so many error in my vita i home thay fixet
I just installed the update, when it finished I wanted to go to the PSN-store. And guess what happend, IT FROZE! >:(
I just watched TheZett rrunning VHBL on 3.51 right now!
GUESS WHAT GUYS
They didn’t fix anything except exploit of course
