PS Vita: TheFlow confirms exploit ready for firmware 3.69. But you’ll have to wait
Hacker TheFlow, who was behind the h-encore Exploit for PS Vita (among a ton of other releases since the PSP scene), has been at it again. He just announced that he has another exploit ready for the console. As far as the release is concerned, it will come, but… you’ll have to wait.
Basically, the developer has stated the exploit will be released at the “end of life” of the console. “When” precisely is up to interpretation.
Sony have recently released firmware 3.69 for the PS Vita. That update patches the h-encore exploit, so basically if you upgrade to the latest firmware, you’re stuck with a un-hackable device. However, Sony recently announced that they’ll be stopping production of the console in Japan next year. This means support for the console will most likely stop around that time, and that could be when TheFlow chooses to release his new hack.
Then again, Sony has surprised the scene with a firmware update (6.61) for the PSP years after they had dropped support for the console. But that was a non critical update aiming at “wrapping up” support of the old console on the PSN, so from everyone’s perspective, the “end of life” firmware for the PSP really was the one before that, 6.60.
At the very least, it seems we’ll have to wait several months until TheFlow drops his upcoming hack for the PS Vita. Nevertheless, the hacker never stops impressing the scene, by promising yet another exploit for a console that had for long been considered almost impossible to exploit.

I’d say, I want that to be released at the last production of vita
It’s worth the wait
I just bought my vita for $60 CAD and can’t afford games, but y’know what…. I can wait if it means sony doesn’t beat us in the end 😀
Were did you find a psvita for 60 cad?
Probably just a used vita via some local platform like Kijji, Craigslist, classified ads, etc.
Keep an eye on those and you can get great deals on stuff.
I also bought mine for 60CAD yesterday lol
i bought one foe 70 usd a couple days ago
Lol got one today for 60 Canadian what’s with the cheap vitas up here
whut the heck~ that’s pretty cheap for a vita man
i wud like to buy two or three vitas if i got the same price on my country. it’s still quite pricey here
Furst
Not even
This means The Flow is probably chillin with a hacked 3.69 Vita. Might be the only one in existence rn.
the Flow is basicly the Elon Musk of the hacker scene lol
no, Dark Alex was until Sony got him to stop. TheFlow is the “new” face of hack scene
He isn’t new, he’s Total Noob.
No because TheFlow delivers
I thought he was taking a long break from the vita? I guess his definition of “long break” means a short one?
He said that before Sony annoucing that they would stop manufacturing Ps Vitas, maybe thats the reason he took a shot at it again.
Oh ok. Thanks
This guy never ceases to amaze me.
Will it will be Enso or temporary like 3.68?
You’re not a smart one aren’t you? Of course it’s temporary, Enso doesn’t even work on 3.65+, why would it on 3.69?
Be sure to include TheFlow in your Thanksgiving prayers this year. Love you man!
Possible same exploits exist on PS4 newest fw? Even so I know it won’t be released anytime soon, still I wouldn’t mind the promise for another PS4 jailbreak.
Obviously it should be released after there’s no more upcoming games.
I plan to pick up a couple of vitas at EOL so this is great news 😀
TheFlow proves once again that no device is unhackable. But also that doing so is not for everyone.
“Nevertheless, the hacker never stops impressing the scene, by promising yet another exploit for a console that had for long been considered almost impossible to exploit.”
My respects for you @TheFlow!
Reading this Sony start rewrite firmware 3.70 from scratch, lol
Clever move @TheFlow.
Respect.

Love it. Crush sony thanks flow
Yo I just got a Vita and it came with 3.69. Do it flow! I’m happy to donate.
I’ll wait just got my psvita slim blue for 20$ usd looking forward to exploiting it
How can a person be so talented? Great work TheFlow
Its possible to downgrade my PsVita from 3.69 to 3.68? I bought console 3 Days ago with this soft and dont know what to do 🙁
Is better we wait than to rush into things that are gonna risk our tech.
Thanks wololo for sharing this before we adapt into rushing
