There is a way only with Vita and a Windows PC:

You need "Vita Update Blocker" and "PS3.ProxyServer". You use the first one to get into the Settings > PSN Menu and than close it and use the second to use the Activation Function.

Without the second one I get an Connection Error if I try to activate my Vita, but when I'm in the PSN Menu I can not deactivate the Proxy in the WiFi Setting after the Firmware Check. So it is simple for what the second one is: to replace the Blocker Proxy with a other ProxyServer that didn't filter anything per Default and that is PS3.ProxyServer.

A bit complicated but it worked for me. I get today my Vita, a bit too late for 3.18, but now I'm still on 3.18, Vita is activated and Homebrew works.

If i run PS3.ProxyServer in PC, what settings/config should i make? Same config with the vita update blocker?

I'm on 3.18. Same problem as you and OP.I did exactly what you suggested, and I got up to this step:

So, apparently my vita was activated.

But the vita won't show up at: https://account.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com

Further up, I *can* connect to PSN store on the vita using "Vita Update Blocker" but I can't download anything on my account. None of the games I have on PSN appear as purchases there. Weird. It looks as if I signed up to a blank account, even though I did sign up using my account.

I have tried activating many times to the point where I got an error code indicating I would have to wait one week in order to activate again.

I contacted PSN support and they lifted the temporary ban. Tried one more time: same thing. Contacted support again, they said there *is* a ps vita linked to my account. They said PSN was going through an update and *that* might be the cause of the problem. I will wait for the update to finish and see if it appears on my account.

I guess it is! Try to add a game to its download queue and see what happens :D

How did you do it?

For other Users here: yes, same settings that Vita Update Blocker shows in his Window (IP of PC and Port 8080 is default).

Would be great if Vita Update Blocker gets an update, so we only need this Tool.

Ok, I bought PS Vita with 3.01 firmware.
I need to update it first with 3.18 using manual updating tutorial, then activate my psn account as in this topic, and they buy and dowload (queue) bougt games.
Can I use someone elses accout (the vita comes with one) and change the data and payment? Would it work (it would be a lot easier).

I hope that downloading with proxy is still possible.

My suggestion would be to restore the Vita and when you're doing the setup use your account to activate the Vita. Then you can manually update to 3.18 and put your games on there via PS3.

Thanks. But I could connect to PSN, then I couldn't buy anything (with the proper info of my credit card), and then it was to late. Or maybe not, we will see.

Can anyone help me with Ps3 proxy? I installed it, installed Net Framework 1.1 (as it asked for it) but I don't see it anywhere on my computer. How can I open it and change settings?
