h-encore: TheFlow shows a demo of his upcoming kernel exploit for PS Vita 3.65/3.67/3.68 (video)
Famous PS Vita hacker TheFlow is set to release a kernel exploit for PS Vita‘s latest firmware, in a bit more than a week, on July 1st.
Yesterday, the hacker shared a video showcasing the hack running Henkaku, then installing and running his powerful utility for hacked Vita, Vitashell.
As the hacker says, “don’t mistake fastness with the the amount of work and time I put into this. over a thousand lines of ROP code”.
This is indeed a significant technical achievement: it is the second time only that a kernel exploit will have been made available for the PS Vita, in the 7 years of existence of the console. The previous full kernel exploit stack, Henkaku, was released for firmware 3.60 2 years ago by team molecule.
Henkaku is today the only publicly known way to (fully) hack a PS Vita, and so people who have a console running on firmware 3.61 or above (in particular those of us running on the latest 3.68 firmware) have been eagerly waiting for this release.
It’s also even more impressive that the PS Vita is believed to be a tough nut to crack. The Henkaku exploit was a pretty complex piece of software, using multiple exploits to break through the security of the console.
Stay tuned for the release in a few days!

Really Cool
Thanks Kanye
And so the game of cat and mouse continues on the vita.
Thanks TheFlow.
Thanks for everything you have done and all your effort . You are a hero for us and me for all the things you have released to enjoy our vitas to the max.
One thing I’m wondering. Is it a perm hack? SO we could update our devices and use the new hack.
It’s HEN so, no.
3.65 will have enso, 3.67 and 3.68 will not
Thank you for your amazing work TheFlow.
Good luck with finishing the programming and coding.
And thanks to wololo for spreading the news.
Does this mean I’ll be able to install Homebrew and other Vita games on my 3.68 Vita now?
Yes, and thats sick 🙂
Thanks to TheFlow’s hard work, I hope this hack will attract more programmers and bring better arcade and DOS simulator software.
first! now give me a prize!

Will the NoNpDrm plugin work on H-encore?
Will the NoNpDrm plugin work on H-encore?
Seriously, if that’s all it takes to reapply the hack…I’m more than sold. Amazing job!!! Less than a minute to reapply this is no big deal especially if its after you reboot the console.
There is allso Some one ps4 game that could serve as adrenaline entrypoint as iT uses a HD pspemu
Superior craftsmanship TheFlow! Thank you for all your hard work. I’m looking forward to picking up my Vita 2000 again.
TN – 3.68 kernel without devkit … Nice !
Thank you Total noob
July 1 is so fast approaching… excited but i still dont know how to manually update offline my 3.63 to 3.65.
You can use QCMA to manually update from 3.63 to 3.65
I have a cat on 3.63 inactivated, should I just update to 3.68 and wait a few days? Been nearly a year since turning on my vitamins and excited to play my games and having access to so many more
Better to update to 3.65
Even though I don’t have henkaku or enso on it? It’s a stock OTA 3.63 fat model. Maybe I missed something but if I just update to stock 3.68 then use the new tool I should be able to activate my vita and play the games Ive already purchased right?
been wating for this for alnost 2 years .. :’) all hail wololo and theFlow
Will this allow me to play all vita games on a pstv and actually work with a ds4 like Shinobido? That game doesn’t work on pstv and I didn’t know it until after I bought it out of nostalgia for the Tenchu games.
Does this mean my console has to he 3.65 before I can install henkaku on it?
Hello i am on kenkaku enso 3.65, theflow make a update for user with 3.65 henkaku enso?thx
