QCMA with non activated vita

[bernouilli92]

Hello,
Is there a way to use QCMA with a psvita that is not activated and not associated with a psn account?
When I connect a freshly restaured vita with no psn account to QCMA, it is recognized by QCMA as user123 but then on the vita, I'm asked to associate the vita with a psn account (login+password).

well, qcma say the same for me "user5 has connected" *something like this* but in my vita doesn't ask for login. Its weird, but to run all the stuffs you need to login and active your psvita (when starts after formato or something), don't you?

Yes, I know it's weird. I've done this before on my previous vita and managed to transfert stuff with qcma even though my vita wasn't activated. But this time with this new vita I've this message.
I'll restore it and try again.

Can you provide an update if QCMA works with an unactivated Vita (no PSN login, no activation). I'm trying to accomplish the same thing.

try only half activate with your psn credentials after full reset and don't actually run a game you own you could try that maybe that will help cause it still connects to qcma as userXXXXXX until you've actually run a game you own and then it shows up as "psn id's" vita

I finally created a new psn account and used it to connect my psvita. after that, I could use QCMA.

I tried to install qcma 0.3.13-1 but it didn't work on my PC (Windows XP) : Some entry not found in Kernel32.dll.
So I put back qcma 0.3.12.
I first tought that it was because I was using a ps vita slim so I tried with another old vita and I have the same problem. when it connects to qcma, the psvita asks to use a PSN account and you cannot bypass it.
I restore both ps vita (slim and normal) but without associating them with the PSN when restoring and tried again : same problem
I find this strange since I already did this and I could use qcma with a psvita with no PSN account. But it was on a Windows 10 PC. Maybe that's why.
I'll have to check again on my other PC with W10.

I tested again on my pc with windows 10.
There seems that the psvita must be tied to a PSN account to be able to use QCMA.
It doesn't need to be activated but at least you have to choose the PSN account when you restore it.
When you restore it and enter the PSN account information, it doesn't get activated (your psvita doesn't appear an actived device on your PSN account) but it is enough to let you use it with qcma.
If you don't have a PSN account, you just have to create one. You can use the same PSN account on several psvita without limitation as long as you don't activated your vita on this account.

qcma works on non activated vita in demo mode, will someone please look at what its skipping and maybe port the same thing over to the retail vita
