PS Vita: TheFlow releases Firmware updater
In preparation for his upcoming Kernel exploit for PS Vita 3.65/3.67/3.68, TheFlow has released Firmware Updater, an app that lets you install any official firmware update (above your current firmware) from a hacked PS Vita.
In essence, Firmware Updater is probably a safe way to uninstall Henkaku/Enso and prepare your PS Vita for the upcoming hack.
Of course, however, we don’t recommend anyone on a hacked PS Vita to update just now. Instead, patiently wait for the h-encore exploit release, and by then there should be enough tutorials out there to explain how to update and what to do.
Download Firmware Updater
You’ll need a hacked PS Vita to install and run this application. This will only be useful for owners of a hacked PS Vita who want to update to a higher firmware when the time comes. Do not update unless you know what you’re doing, as you will lose the 3.60 exploit.
Download Firmware updater here. (check the Readme first, then the “releases” section)

Perfect, I was trying to figure out how to clean my PS Vita before doing a clean reinstall of Henkaku (and maybe Ensô but I never used it, always activated Henkaku manually via the e-mail app). It never occurred to me that updating would actually clean the Vita. Perfect, thanks !
First
Is it cool to update my 3.65 to 3.68? So i can use my psn features? But does it have a permanent henkaku enso that would only need one installation?
enso wont work
3.65 will have enso, 3.68 won’t. Also you can still access psn on 3.65 if you use the henkaku dns server (212.47.229.76)
wow tnx a lot about the dns thing! it works like a charm!!!!
Glad to see new release but I honestly think this has no practical use. You need a hacked vita in order to use it. But if you have a hacked vita already, why would you update to higher firmwares and lose Enso? Games requiring higher firmware will be dumped eventually and be able to run on 3.60/3.65 Enso Henkaku, so there’s simply no reason to update.
Man, this is for prepare the vita for the upcoming hack to 3.68 on July 1
You know that anything above 3.65 is simply worse than anything before 3.65? There’s no need to update to 3.68 if you’re not already on it..
Exactly, and if you are on stock firmware now, just update using normal method to 3.68.
Is there a chance of enso on 3.68? Otherwise not sure why would anyone use official update, unless its needs to go on official 3.65. Also on the video teaser he showed an offline install. meaning while no permanent hack, you can activate without needing internet+ standby will make it semi permanent.
Cool beans!
plz my ps vita in 3.63 what can i do right now ?

Update to 3.65 using QCMA and manually downloaded (official) firmware file. Stay on 3.65 and you will be ready when TheFlow releases his exploit chain, scheduled to be released on 7/1.
Here’s a guide:

Confused why anyone would update to ofw 3.65 when we already have enso on 3.65 (providing you use theflow’s updater from 3.60)
The new exploit is only really useful for those on ofw 3.65/3.68. if you’re on 3.60 you can already update to a henkaku enso enabled 3.65
Oops haha. Didn’t realize you were replying to someone on 3.63. mi bad mi bad
Read firt darling… lol
Oops didn’t realize you were replying to someone on 3.63. mi bad, mi bad
Beware about something that guide doesn’t say: QCMA may have a “Ignore the xml file” option enabled. Disable it or your VITA will give you a C3-12049-6 error.
Update to 3.65 for future Enso. Or update to 3.68 for PSN and future Henkaku, but no Enso.
Will be a updater metod like change the dns without need of use qcma(tried with no sucess) to update non hacked version 3.61/3.63 to 3.65?
You can use qcma custom option to update from 3.63 to 3.65
How i use the custom option? I tried qcma, and said my vita is up to date to the last one. But my vita is on 3.63. My vita is an pch 1010. Thanks in advance!
Ps. I did exactly like this link said: http://vita.cfw.guide/guide/updating-to-3.65/
Stay on ENSO at 3.65 and wait for all the games on 3.68 to eventually get decrypted and dumped by Mai. By then a new ENSO updater may come out. Cold boot Enso is too convenient to give up.
what this guy said.
Updated web browser would be nice. Getting tired of the SSL crashes on every second website.
eh…. the github page is down
Yes, it seams that TheFlow saw some confusion/mixup on users about the updater and got it off-line… =/
The github page is down.
It gives “Not Found” in https://github.com/TheOfficialFloW/fwupdater
Yep, it seams that people were getting confused on what the updater does and TheFloW got it off-line… =/
