VHBL Ninja releases are like the Fight Club. The first rules of the ninja releases is that you’re not supposed to talk about them. Then again, there’s always the difficulty of letting people know that they should be ready for an upcoming hack, without saying too much… TomTomDu80 confirmed to me that he will be releasing his VHBL (compatible with OFW 2.06) port sometimes soon.

People who staid on firmwares 2.02 or lower are eagerly looking in Total_Noob’s direction for the upcoming major update of TN CEF. But if you’re one of the users stuck on recent Vita firmwares such as 2.05 or the latest 2.06, you are probably impatiently waiting for the “next” exploit release, if not a Vita native one, at least inside of the PSP emulator. If you’ve been keeping track, two VHBL ports have been publicly announced and not released yet. One from Turkish dev xmax, and another one from French dev TomTomDu80.
Right after I just said vita exploits (or, by extension, exploits inside of the psp emulator) where getting sparse, it seems I am getting proven wrong, as what seems to be a legit usermode exploit appeared recently on psvitaturkyie.com
Over the past year, we’ve seen a continuous stream of exploits releases (almost one per month since April last year), and even 2 kernel (psp) exploits. But it seems the trend has stopped, with no new major announcement on the horizon. TomTomDu80 has a psp user mode exploit, which he ported to VHBL, but most likely no plan to release it for 2.05 (or that would have happened already).
We announced last week that developer Tomtomdu80 got VHBL to run with a new user mode exploit. A few days ago, The Z published a video showing Tomtomdu80′s exploit running VHBL perfectly on PS Vita’s latest firmware 2.05.
As of now in most regions the new official Vita firmware update 2.5 is live and is mandatory.

Update: since we initially published this article, Sony have pulled the information regarding firmware 2.05 on their update page. We will keep you updated as we get more details.
According to the official PlayStation Vita update page, system update 2.05 is coming which will most likely block the UNO exploit.

We have recently come across what might be a new exploit for the PSP emulator, by a user nikcnamed zaiii, who posted information on our forums as well as a video on youtube. At the moment, we have no confirmation about its legitimacy, but we will be following up.
We know lots of you have been waiting extremely patiently for Frostegater’s port of Total_Noob’s CEF, a PSP Custom Firmware running within the playstation Vita’s latest Firmware 2.02. Believe it or not, I did not get to test Frostegater’s work until today.
Tired of the having the same menu in VHBL or CEF?
Here is a list of alternate menus that you should try, all with their own set of features, look and behaviour.

This will not come as a big surprise for those of you who know how these things work, but it’s always nice to have a confirmation: VHBL still runs fine on Vita’s firmware 2.01, and The Z proves it to us with a video.
A few days ago we showed you a work in progress of Acid_Snake’s port of VHBL to Vita’s Firmware 2.0. The Z replied quickly with his own youtube video showing VHBL running a few homebrews, using a VHBL port by Frostegater himself (yeah, expect to hear that name more and more, as he seems unstoppable these days).
I know a lot of excitement came from Frostegater’s announcement of a working kernel exploit, but lets be serious for once: kernel exploits are rare and on top of that you have the fact that one was leaked, which gives devs like Frostegater no real reason to release their work, unless they have a second or third kernel exploit they can use privately, but like I said, kernel exploits are rare.
