MLTActivator: activate your PS Vita offline
This release will probably please a huge number of PS Vita 3.60 users: MLTActivator, released by developers Miralatijera and Draqen on popular Spanish scene site daxhordes, lets you activate your PS Vita offline. Since its release earlier today, it’s been confirmed to work on both the PS Vita and PS TV.
What is MLTActivator?
Roughly around the time of the release of Henkaku Ensou, Sony made a drastic change to the activation process of the PS Vita. as a result of this change, people not running the latest firmware have been unable to activate their PS Vita. This triggered warnings from hackers that people should back up their activation files as soon as possible, to avoid any bad surprise. However, some people discovered the problem the hard way, and ended up with their Vita not activated.
For owners of hacked PS Vita, this meant, among other issues, that Adrenaline (the popular tool that lest you run a PSP Custom Firmware within your PS Vita) could not run properly.
Although TheFlow has promised an upcoming version of Adrenaline will work without activation, this has left several users looking for a new solution in the meantime.
That solution, as of today, is MLTActivator, which people have confirmed lets them activate their PS Vita offline, and run Adrenaline.
In particular, developer Joonie86, of Rebug fame, has confirmed that MLTActivator worked.
System Restore from Safe Mode -> Henkaku -> Enso -> MLTactivator = profit!

What are the risks of MLTActivator?
There are several risks to using MLTActivator. The main one, that the authors have made very clear in their release, is that you should not access any official PS Vita service (such as the PSN) once it is activated. They say this will guarantee you get a ban from Sony.
MLTActivator works by swapping your account files with those of an activated account. This means that some of your apps, etc… will not work anymore, as they are associated to another account. The same is true for your QCMA linked account. Also the developers mention that the app might have to format your memory card in some rare cases. Because of this it is only recommended for people who have a console that is not activated, and cannot wait for the upcoming Adrenaline release.
Another risk is that the code is not open source at the moment. As we’ve seen a few times in the history of homebrew, any app that manipulates and reads your account information could be bad news, so use at your own risk here. I have not personally tested the app (my PS Vita’s sitting in some warehouse in a harbor at the moment).
MLTActivator FAQ
A short FAQ given what’s known of the tool so far.
Does it work on PSTV? Yes, this works on both PS Vita and PS TV, multiple people have confirmed this.
How to verify that my PS Vita is indeed activated? You can use System Check Enabled
Can I uninstall it? The app allegedly does a backup of your activation files so that you can switch accounts back with homebrews such as Account Switcher. It will not hurt for you to backup your files ahead of launching MLTActivator, though.

sir could you help. I have been running around the webs and have seen your name mentioned a few times and you seem highly knowledgable on the subject. Whenever i activate the mltactivator everything goes accordingly vita restarts i go onto the trophy app etc but when i check if i am activated it says i am not? And i think this is whats not allowing me to install the epsp bubble easy installer as i am getting an error code of c-1283 something. Do i already have to have been activated before on the vita? this particular article seems to state otherwise if so. I would be really appreciative if you could give me any help on the subject thanks Tech Tomas!
No funciona porque tus videos apestan
Your english version based on mlt.vpk or mltfix2.vpk?

you should do the full reset and wipe. PSbutton+R+powerbutton. Select reinstall system or whatever the name is.
after that, setup the psvita and use an account of PSN when it asks.
Then do the following:
1) Install HENkaku
2) Install Enso
3a) if you have PS4 and want PS4 link to work:
-Go to settings and enable in HENkaku settings the SPOOFING options
-Login to PSN
-Open PS3 link and PS4 link apps and connect consoles to PSvita.
-Once you have established a connection you can quit the apps.
3b) Install MLTactivator ( After the installation do not login to your account, EVER)
3c) Open Trophy app or games installed via Mai or Vitamin won’t boot and give an error.
4) Install adrenaline EASY installer
5) open Adrenaline EASY installer and let it install the PSP game for you
6) after it reboots, open again adrenaline installer and install adrenaline on the PSP game
7) after reboot try booting adrenaline
Should work
8) install MAIdumpTool
With these steps you get access to:
– PS4/PS3 link
– Adrenaline (ePSP)
– PSvita games
If that all doesn’t help you either do something wrong or your vita is a special one with problems.
Good luck

Ese codigo de error es porque has trasteado algo de la memoria interna…ya hemos visto tus videos de youtube y vas de profesional sin tener ni idea de lo que haces…
deleted file config.txt from ux0
Try my instruction bellow. Yesterday I successfully activated my own console. Formatting memory card is not enough, you should restore system.
Aquí no podes comentar en español, no seas idiota.

Bien por la gente de habla hispana, aportando su grano de arena a la scene
Do you know if Adrenaline still working if you restore your activation files ?
Deleite config.txt on ux0:/tai
Ok, so i have a PS vita on FW 1.80 still for perfect PS1 emulation+audio.
Is it worth going to 3.60 , what benefits would i get ?
Can you reconnect to your PSN after? That do not seem to work here, I want to reinstall Adrenaline and the icon won’t show up.
Somebody didn’t read the article.
Well I have read the part saying it’s not open source though. Yeah I just saw this right after sending.
Sorry i have question to users, please use english language please
What’s your question?
same here no icon
Yeah me too, Adrenaline icon disappeared and no way to make it appear.
Epsp bubble installer works after installing MLTActivator, but After installing adrenaline 5.1 the adrenaline boot screen shows then the c0-9225-1 error. anyone else have any luck getting Adrenaline working? maybe lower verions?
thank u wololo for Download MLTActivator and the devs
but i just want to say i dont give a rats nest wheter its activated
becuz it was activated and now it isnt …
sony their lose if they dont want enable my download after the socalled buy
.. no more buy
anyway i wanted to ask something else
dear wololo,
could u please add a bootup script to vmlinux.bin.gz
so that i could alter my xmbwave and my pspboot and theme
from the uclinux
but more importantly
could u add something like evolutionx for xbox but to psp
simply replace vshmain.prx or vshmenu.prx after a rename in flash0
to replace it with a themable graphics.c evolution text mode psp launcher menu
guess what im asking is uclinux with autoboot scripts to alter flash
like swissarmyknife hdd unlock live
and a evolutionx or evolutionpsp menu that sits in ur flash as vshmain.prx replacement
becuz i really want my psp to look like my xbox and sit there now (allso psvita lol)
and trainers and the works from a ini loaded evolution
thanks to wololo
greets lollypop
cat to the eboot this time plz
ie only one eboot file
and its separtates the cat flat
and launches it
one project that comes in mind is anbox installer –nommu
It failed multiple times .. on Vita TV but after trying it over and over.. it finally worked and adrenaline works perfect.
DOES NOT WORK. I reformatted my system and memory 5x, trying it different ways each time, and wasted 90 minutes of my life. Is there a tutorial somewhere?
Try my instruction bellow. Yesterday I successfully activated my own console. Formatting memory card is not enough, you should restore system.
Meh, I think Ill wait for The FloW’s updated offline Adrenaline.
We need a new way to activate the vita under are own psn adrenaline is a good option to play psp/ps1 games but still doesn’t solve our issues of not being able to play online would like to see a new spoofing method that works
It actually works. But you should do exactly as Joonie86 wrote.
1. Uninstall enso. Vita may ask you to format your card, don’t do it now.
2. Restore system. Settings -> Format -> Restore this system. Formatting memory card is not enough. Vita ask you to deactivate account but you should not care about deactivation, right?
3. During first launch select “I have PSN account” and “Login later”.
4. Install Henkaku.
5. Install enso.
6. Install MLActivator and run it. After system reboot open trophy app, just as MLActivator asks you.
7. Install ePSP Bundle installer and Adrenaline EasyInstaller, create bubble and install adrenaline into it.
8. Complete adrenaline installation during it’s first launch.
Special note. I think, you don’t have to worry about your account ban or something. After installation you’ll see empty account name without email in playstation network settings. And you will install MLActivator after full system restoration. So what can they steal?
if sony can’t sniff out your previous account/activation-info from the unit, then the second best thing they can do is blacklist your vita.. effectively banning your particular unit from ever using it with PSN ever again.
This is just my suspicion though, haven’t heard of anyone getting their vita banned as of yet.
It worked, I follow steps above exactly what you list.
thank you Jack, you r my life saver.
Followed this, worked as intended. It did take a couple trys for MLActivator to take but happy it activated in the end!
I follow all step and successifull installes adrenaline but when i open the app i have this error code C0-9255-1
I tried this method and it didn’t work until I got one trophy for my “account”. So maybe you need to have a trophy of any game before it works
You probably wouldn’t want it, but i could kiss you on the mouth right now. Worked for me!
Oh. I forget to mention it. But you should format memory card during step 2, so you don’t have to worry about it on step 1. And sometimes vita don’t ask you to format card on step 1.
So i’ll lose all my games and saves?
Yes.
What’s the point about this app lol!
I knew someone would make a workaround, but I’ll wait for the official Arenaline new release Flow/TN is gonna release in September.
I say go for the this method if you have a pstv or psvita that happens to have no account or your act.dat doesn’t let you play your ps1 or psp games due to sonys bs. And you just have the ofw on 3.60. Its safe and when our buddy decides to release the spoof fix or something in september we should just simply do the same steps of restoring from safe mode and skip the current install of the MLTactivator.
Hmm to complicated and not know if it is ban safe… I think I will stay and wait for Flow turn 🙂
Not sure if its ban safe? It says in the article its not ban safe
Everyone go for the current method! I recommend it only if you have a pstv or psvita that you just got and is on 3.60. Also if sonys selfish *** did something to your act.dat and registry files that for some reason you can’t use your purchased content! When September comes along and if a spoofer fix is followed or something then just follow the same current steps but don’t install the mltactivator simple as that!
Can I use PS3 remote play after this offline activation?
Thank You.
solution is to hit first install via restore system
then activate with psvitaupdateblocker like u did
whens the last time you tried this method the psvitaupdateblocker is not working for me
after i install and run, my trophies are empty, when i wanna launch a game, it says ” You cannot earn trophies in this apps. Do you still …blablabla” and when i connected to laptop via usb, a pop-up by my qcma written “connected to (PS Vita)” which is not right, am I right?
Usually qcma pop-up will show like “connected to Broden (PS Vita) “. Is this a part of the risk?
use the qcma packages installer
but what i really want most
PS4 PS3 PSVITA PSP ODE COBRA TIMEMACHINE 32TB Service server + cfw and ofw preloader
So I installed MLTActivator and it seems to have activated my vita that is running Enso/Henkaku that was not previously activated with a 128gb SD2VITA card as the main memory.
The good news is that most things still seem to be working although I lost some of my game data.
Unfortunately, I can’t get Adrenaline to install.
It will go through the install process, and when I press X to reboot, I don’t get a new icon with Adrenaline. I’ve tried uninstalling/reinstalling same thing.
Then i installed ePSP Bubble Installer thinking it may be the lack of a PSP game running.
So then the install went a lot quicker (For example, it didn’t install the firmware) but it did install the Adrenaline icon.
Unfortunately when I ran it, it displays the miniS logo, then it goes into a black screen and gives an error C1-2858-3.
I manually copied over the 661.PBP into the Adrenaline folder, and no change.
If I press the PS button before it gives the error message, I do see the Adrenaline config.
HELP!!!
I just did the new offline activation but can’t get Adrenaline to work on SD2VITA
I did a complete wipe and reinstall and found that the issue seems to be related to Adrenaline on SD2VITA
Here is what I did
1. Uninstall enso. Vita may ask you to format your card, don’t do it now.
2. Restore system. ENTER SAFE MODE Restore this system.
3. During first launch select “I have PSN account” and “Login later”
4. Format memory cards (internal and external)
5. Install Henkaku.
6. Install enso.
7. Install MLActivator and run it. After system reboot open trophy app, just as MLActivator asks you.
8. Install ePSP Bundle installer and Adrenaline EasyInstaller, create bubble and install adrenaline into it.
9. Complete adrenaline installation during it’s first launch.
Here it ran fine, so then I tried to enable SD2VITA
10. Copy external memory card to SD2VITA
11. Enable SD2VITA as main memory
Here is where it stopped and gave a black screen with error C1-2858-3.
I switched back the config by commenting out the loading of gamesd.skprx and rebooted to run off the vita external memory, and adrenaline would not run and gave me the same error as before.
Anyone have a solution?
After using this it won’t read my SD2vita, just reverted back to normal, how do I get all my homebrews on again? tried account switcher but nothing. just need it to read my SD card
How to use PS4 link with this? I have a PS vita fully formatted on 3.60. No activation or whatsoever. So is there anything I can do to get my PSvita up and running with my PS4 or am I out of luck?
Hi.how can I unistall these mltactivator,thanx…
i follow a nanospeedgamer tutoril and now i lost my activation…is there any solution as backup for people that still having their psviytas activated?
secondly, Can i use my other memorycards after using this activation method? i have 1 64gbs SD2VITA and two regular memories (4 and 16gbs) can i use those memories in a safe way?
I did all the steps. But now i can not restore my psvita. Because the system is Spanish and my account no longer works. and what do I have to do ?
I did not install switcher accounts and formatted my memory card. Now I do not have Molecular Shell . So i can not install the switcher.e i can not restore my psvita. help please !
It wont let me restore the system. When I try to restore system I get a message ‘you must update system software’
It worked without me having to system restore I was just too lazy to care.
Works fine, many thanks !
Is there any way once I intalled this to use my PSN account and get my trophies?
How do I Activate PS Mobile? Had a PSM Game, first it told me in order to run it, I had to Update the Date/Time via the Internet. Got that done, then it said I had to Activate my Device when it already is.
Totally worked for me! didnt even have to activate my psn account to use adrenaline 😀
