Release: 3.65 Updater – Enables HENkaku Ensō Custom Firmware on PS Vita Firmware 3.65!
Well known developer TheFlow has just released his 3.65 Updater, which enables PS Vitas running system software 3.60 to run a 3.65 Custom Firmware by updating the PS Vita’s system software from 3.60 to a pre-hacked version of firmware 3.65.
It is important to mention that this hack cannot be installed on devices that are already running firmware 3.61 or newer. Firmware 3.60 is mandatory for the installation of 3.65 HENkaku Ensō.
Requirements:
TheFlow’s 3.65 Updater is compatible with all three PS Vita devices – the fat PS Vita 1000, the slim PS Vita 2000 and the pocket-sized PS (Vita) TV – as long as they meet the requirements:
It cannot be used on a device that runs firmwares 3.61, 3.63, 3.65 or 3.67 and there is currently no known way to downgrade a PS Vita’s system software. Additionally, HENkaku Ensō cannot be installed on any firmware that is older than version 3.60, but devices that are running those older firmwares can be manually upgraded to firmware 3.60.
Keep in mind that you need to install VitaShell version 1.82 (or newer) before you attempt to update your device from 3.60 HENkaku to 3.65 HENkaku Ensō, otherwise you will end up having a few problems. Just grab it from over here and install it on your PS Vita running 3.60 HENkaku.
Restrictions:
Keep in mind that a few restrictions will apply, as soon as your device is running the 3.65 Custom Firmware. This system software update cannot be reverted, which means that you cannot return to firmware 3.60 once the 3.65 Custom Firmware has been installed.
Additionally, you may not attempt to reinstall system software 3.65 itself, due to this uninstalling the custom firmware and leaving you with a device that cannot run homebrews anymore (at least until another exploit has been released). Formatting the device’s settings, memory card and internal storage is possible, though.
Everything else, that you were able to do on 3.60 HENkaku Ensō, should be doable on 3.65 HENkaku Ensō as well. Some applications and plugins may not be compatible with system software 3.65 as of yet and have to be ported prior to being usable. Various popular ones (such as Adrenaline) already have been ported to 3.65, but some haven’t been yet.
Your device is running system software 3.60? Great! Head straight over to the official GitHub repository of the 3.65 Updater, to learn how to install the 3.65 HENkaku Ensō CFW onto your Playstation Vita. It should provide thorough instructions to help you update your device.
If you happen to prefer some visual aid, feel free to check out the tutorial above. It shows various steps regarding necessary preparations, such as uninstalling the old HENkaku Ensō, installing VitaShell v1.82 and the whole update process from system software 3.60 to the hacked firmware 3.65.
If you’re satisfied by TheFlow’s work, consider treating him to a cold drink or even a hot meal. He would surely appreciate it.
worked perfectly once all was said and done. can even download previously purchased games from the playstation store.
thank you TheFlow. You truly are a god amongst men
So, everything was fine up until the actual execution of the updater, I put the update on ux0, app, update365 etc, but when I reboot, launch the browser to start henkaku and try to open the updater, it says the updater is corrupted.
Hello everyone, I need your help. I installed HENkaku Enso 3.65, but I lost all my homebrew bubbles including vitashell. I can not install anything. Is there way to install vitashell via a web page or other.
Thank you for your answer
Same happened to me. Use qcma and psvimgtools to get vitashell back.
Im at 3.6′ and never installed enso for 3.60, just installed the Henkaku taihen, adrenaline and vitashell. Do I need to disable anything on my actual build for the enso 3.65 to work? or should I iinstall the previous enso and then follow this tutorial? Thanks! Im currently creating my backup with qCMA just in case 😛
Anyone know of a way to get VitaCheat running? A User on another Site tried, but it causes the Vita to not Boot correctly/at all. But I also read on the same Site, but different Thread, that with the Config needs to possibly have # before the Plugin Locations. Example:
*KERNEL
#ur0:vitacheat/vitacheat.skprx
*ALL
#ux0:vitacheat/vitacheat.suprx
Might need a Space between the # and Location.
That’s simply disabling the plugins, the # acts as a remark/comment for the rest of the line.
I tried starting maidump/vitamin games and they don´t work anymore? Anyone knows about a work around that or my only solution is redownloading them as nonpdrm apps?
Hi, thank you for the news, and thank all the people who make this posible.
I’d like to know what happens if for whatever reason i want to unisntall enso on 3.65, what do i have to do?
And what happens if in the future when the eol of the vita come, and the ropchain has to be used on a clean 3.67 and we have enso installed.
I do know all of this is thanks to you guys, and i am not asking for any work. I just want to know if that could happen, before dping anything.
And welcome back zett.
If you want to uninstall 3.65 enso for whatever reason just install normal 3.65. When the eol happens & 3.67 is the new golden firmware then Sony will make 3.68 probably then call it a day.
Hi,
Firat of all thank you for the news and thanks to all the people on the scene who make this things possible (including webs like frwololo which are an excelent and accurate source of news).
I know that everything you do here is unpaid, and i am not asking you to do any work. But i would like to know a few things:
1 – What happens if for whatever reason i want to uninstall enso on 3.65? is there any way to do it, as it was on enso 3.60?
2 – If that was’t possible, what happens if the EOL of the vita comes and theflow release his 3.67 private exploit and we want to update from enso 3.65? (as far as i know it’s a cfw different on each firmwere, so may be different). I mean, would be need a clean OFW or could be a workaround planed?
It would be nice to know this things.
Quick answer to both of your questions: NO
read the instructions on TheFlow’s github, he will clearly state that if you update to 3.65 and remove henkaku, you will not be able to reinstall it at least for now.
You should read better, i asked about uninstall not about install. I read the readme more than once, thats why i asking.
you can uninstall but you will get a psvita on stock 3.65, and the flow is not release any exploit to “hack” this version.
If the flow makes an. update of his exploit you WILL be able to install it.
Why are you asking so much nonsense?
if you are not gonna do anything stupid, just don’t worry
I just wanted to know, nothing less nothing more. Nothing to do with worries. 😉
emilio546, you’re the one really should read Bunkai’s question better, especially he repeated another time with patience. We all appreciate your effort of trying to help.
TheFlow warned against reinstalling the official 3.65 PUP, he did not warned against uninstalling Henkaku. If uninstalling Henkaku is bad he would have warned against that too. That’s why Bunkai and I wondered about outcome uninstalling Henkaku, to be precise, can it be uninstalled cleanly anymore?
Hey guys I reinstalled vitashell with psvimgtools but there are no config.text files in vitashell. Can I make one?
Can i delete the 3.65 henkaku enso updater afterwards?
Ok so I installed the 365 enso updater, installed fine, put the new adrenaline on, work fine,
Then installed homebrew browser and that works fine.
(Installed on my pstv)
Half the games on my usb stick did not show up on my live area, even after a refresh and database rebuild.
PKGI runs but fails to install games.
I tried the latest plug in for nondprm, does not show up in plug in manager.
So now I’m going through vita she’ll and deleting the non working games and hoping an update comes to allow PKGI to work again.
But thanks FLOW.
Great work
how to install new games (nonpdrm) on new sdcard on henkaku 3.65 because we cannot reinstall henkaku on sdcard? plse help
Hi, i did this update. But after that some games crash with an error code c2-12828-1 . I could save few games with maidumptool (switch original eboot) but some still crash. Any idea what might cause it?
probably the program that used to dump them is not compatible with the 3.65cfw, all of my pkgi downloaded game is now unplayable, tks god i had 1 game that was dumped with mai and tks to your cmt, i got it playing again
Great works Guy’s we want play Sega Dreamcast or ps2 in the future
Just want to ask if this is possible:
1. Install updater and vitashell 1.82 on 3.60 henkaku enabled psv.
2. Backup apps on Step 1 using QCMA.
3. Restore apps on second psv but on 3.63 OFW and run updater.
Note: Assuming both units have the same account.
Well, I read the “Formatting the device’s settings, memory card and internal storage is possible, though” and formatted my memory card thinking I could install molecularshell from the henkaku page again. No such luck. Don’t format your memory card unless you have a backup.
Never mind! I downloaded and set up qCMA, connected my vita once, and disconnected it. Googling psvimgtools vitashell provided a link to PSVIMAGETOOLS FRONTEND, which i installed, ran, and selected EasyInstaller, Vitashell. Then I right clicked qCMA and rebuilt the database. Reconnected the vita, and went to content manager -> applications -> PC to vita -> Vitashell. This installed it back for me.
Don’t get cocky like I did, just back up vita shell.
I just found out that all of my games i downloaded using pkgi is now unplayable after 3.65 =_= maybe they could’ve given a headups first since pkgi is pretty popular these days? Anw, is there any chance that there will be an update to make my pre 3.65 pkgi games playable again? Just to want to know before i delete them all T_T
i only have sd2vita but no memorycard how can i update
can anyone send a complete tai config.txt in ur0 to me? for sdvita as ux0.
I’ve installed it, but do not see the MolecularShell bubble, or any of my Henkaku-reliant bubbles. I’ve tried to update via Henkaku.xyz, but I keep getting the error “error: Can’t find variable: found”. Some assistance would be much appreciated.
FIX THE PAYPAL LINK!!!!!! TAKE MY MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve installed this update, but I cannot seem to find any of my Henkaku-related bubbles anymore, MolecularShell included. When I try to reinstall Henkaku (while on henkaku(.)xyz/go), I recieve this: “error: Can’t find variable: Found”. Can someone provide a solution to this?
Stupid noob question. Can you use any micro sd convertor or do you have to have a SD2VITA?
Hi guys, I’m new here and I’d like to share my own experience with the 3.65 update.
I’ve read alot of threads and couldn’t find anything on this.
I own multiple vitas, all with henkaku 3.60 or 3.65.
When I saw that a new version of vitashell was released I went ahead and installed it without checking which henkaku was running. smdh..
As you can probably already guess, I lost Vitashell.. But, I did back it up before updating as I followed every step carefully.
What I found out by accident, is that if you unlink your sd card from a 3.65 vita and insert it in a henkaku 3.60 vita, you can install Vitashell and anything you else you want, there. Then simply unlink again, switch the sd card back into the 3.65 vita and there you go, Vitashell back up and running.
Unless I’m missing something, this worked just fine for me, without having to retrieve Vitashell via qcma.
So for those who updated to enso 3.65 and for some reason lost vitashell like I did , try this method instead of losing your cool and doing something stupid like re-install the firmware .If you don’t own a second vita, ask a friend.
