Release: Official Vita Open CMA

Post by Jd8531 »

OPEN CMA FOR PLAYSTATION VITA
Image


What is Open CMA?

Open CMA is the content manager assistant to copy files to the Vita. Open CMA is the same as the official Sony version but modified, so that you can copy files without any internet connection unlike the official Sony CMA which requires a constant internet connection to the Sony Servers, something that can be inconvenient It will also not sneak a patch or do a forced firmware update on your device if one comes out and it will not send any data to Sony or their servers about whats being copied, edited, and transferred. Open CMA also does not collect data regarding crashes.
In General it:
1. Allows offline transfers on either PC or Vita.
2. Allows lower firmwares to transfer. (Open CMA 5 works on 2.00+ Only)
3. Disallows the sending of information to Sony.
4. No contact to Sony’s servers.
5. Open CMA prevents CMA from auto updates or mandatory updates.
6. It also allows you to transfer anything black listed, it doesn’t check their servers to confirm if its on the PSN.
7. Lets you copy Homebrew, ISO/CSO to use with an exploit with less errors.

For a guide on Activating and transfering on lower firmwares follow this: (If it no longer works please let me know)
[spoiler]1: Update Manually via PS3 Proxy Server to 1.81 OFW
1. Download and install "PS3.ProxyServer.GUI"
2. Start PS3.ProxyServer.GUI and Type in your PC's IP then select "PSP Mode" and click Start..
3. Click the Logs Tab, Then on your Vita Go to WiFi Settings and enter your PC's IP for the Proxy.
4. Go to System Update and click "Update Using Wi-Fi".. It will show the Latest Version then click "Next" and "Yes" Then "Do Not Accept" and "Yes".. This will give you the Link to the PUP file it will download and install..
5. Copy this link from the Logs screen and click "Replace File" Tab.. Past that link on the left side. On the Right side click the Little button and select the PUP file you want to install.
6. Now click the "Logs" Tab again and click "Update Using Wi-Fi" and make sure in the "Logs" Tab is says that the files has been Redirected to a local file.
7. Done you can update to any Version you want.. (You can not downgrade this way)

2: Installing OpenCMA
At first we need our PS Vita device. We should be able to boot into the main menu and its recommended to disable every Wifi option at the device. Use the airplane mode AND disable Wifi, recommended.
Next we need the official Sony CMA (old version, pre-2.00 | or new version, post-2.00) which has to be patched with OpenCMA for using our little firmware update trick.
WARNING: If you have the most recent version of the Sony CMA, it is necessary to have the PS Vita Firmware 2.00 or higher, but that is not what we want, use the older CMA + OpenCMA patch for this tutorial if you want to install a firmware below 2.00!

3: Activating PS Vita
So this was my main issue, because I thought that I could not activate it without updating to a higher OFW.
1. Power off you're Vita then push and hold the PS Logo Button + the R shoulder Button + the Power Button. Hold them for a few seconds, till the screen goes on and the recovery menu appears.
2. Select option 4. Restore the PS Vita System.
3. Wait till the Vita boots up again and follow the instructions till it asks you if you would like to link you're Vita with you're PSN Account. Do this now because it's the only way to avoid the update.
4. So now you should have activated you're PS Vita.

4: Getting a exploit game on to you're Vita via OpenCMA PS3 trick
1. Look in in the Playstation Store for a exploit game that is working on you OFW.
2. Download it to you're PS3.
3. Connect you're PS Vita with you're PC via Open CMA.
4. Remove the Vitas USB cable and plug it on to you're PS3.
5. Copy exploit game on to you're Vita.
6. Its done.

sorry i didn't see it. Im trying it now, what it did was add a optional sub folder called PSM where you can browse both PSM folders on the vita and on the PC. I am about to try copying a pssac.
I tried getting it to copy a pssac and .sln but my vita froze so....
