How to install homebrew on TN-V 11

[elfin8er]

I can not for the life of me get QCMA working. I can use Sony's CMA over Wifi, but neither of them work over USB. Any suggestions?

So I got VHBL to run the homebrew, but only by running it from the savedata folder. I couldn't get it to install anywhere else. I tried using FTP to move them directly to /PSP/VHBL/, and everything transfers fine except for the EBOOT.PBP files. As soon as the transfer of an eboot file is complete, it immediately deletes itself off the drive. Anyone know why that is or how I can fix it? Thanks

SINGOO DEAR kin can u please give us a video tutorial, for install vhbl on 3.50 and homebrew please
dear beast

Sorry for unability to offer video tutorial. I tried hard and spent hours making lots of attempts, but most failed in the end. I cannot remember the detailed steps well. I just used the Recovery Mod Option method in the 1st post to get FTP work (download VitaFTP and rename EBOOT.PBP to RECOVERY.PBP, then put it in TNV_54321 and transfer it to PS Vita via Qcma). When this is done, you can run APE exploit to boot TNV11, then press SELECT and select recovery menu and select Run Program at /TNV_54321/RECOVERY.PBP. Then you will see VitaFTP run and show ftp://xx.xx.xx.xx/.

Go back to your computer, and open any folder, type the ftp://xx.xx.xx.xx/ you see on VitaFTP screen and press Enter button. This will get you to the root of Vita's memory card (ms0:). Download VHBL file provided in the 1st post. Create a new folder in any local folder (excluding Vita's memory card) and name it to VHBL, than cut and paste it to ms0:/PSP/ folder. Then, create a new folder in any local folder, name it to ISO, and put it in ms0:/.
I seemed to put VHBL.ISO in ISO folder via FTP (not sure), and put VHBL01234 in SAVEDATA folder.
After that, I went back to PS Vita and exit VITAFTP by pressing square button, and I can see VHBL under GAME section for me to install (not sure). Anyway, my VHBL finally work for me.

To install other homebrews within VHBL, I downloaded the homebrew files I need, and just zip the folder which contains EBOOT.PBP and other files inside without creating PSP and GAME folder above it. (Be sure to choose "Store" option when you zip it.) I continue to use VITAFTP to transfer INSTALL.ZIP to any savedata folder (ms0:/PSP/SAVEDATA/XXXXX) excluding VHBL01234, TNV_54321 and APE's savedata folders. Then, I exit VITAFTP and launched VHBL, browsed to the savedata folder I put INSTALL.ZIP. VHBL asked me if I want to install homebrew, chose Yes no doubt, and then asked me if to install it to ms0:/PSP/VHBL, chose OK. When installation was done, I browsed to PSP/VHBL, and found my homebrew in it, and chose it and the homebrew works for me. These are what I did for hacking PS Vita, you can take it as reference. : )

the part where I get stuck is, when installing the .zip file thru either VHBL or OneMenu.. it goes until it hits the EBOOT.PBP file, then errors out and quits the app.. I'll have to try this method, from installing the INSTALL.ZIP from another location.. let you know how it goes..

good for you. That is the way to go. 3.18 is still the golden firmware.

to no avail.. I am still unable to get homebrew loaded.. again, if packaging them into ISO's, that's fine.. ISO's are no problem whatsoever.. but no ability to save config files..

I tried zipping the hombrew (no /PSP/GAME) into INSTALL.ZIP and transferred via QCMA, if it is in TNV_54321 folder, when booted to XMB and trying to select GAME, it locks up and reboots XMB.. When placing the INSTALL.ZIP into the VHBL01234 folder, VHBL can't install it.. Then I try withe oneMENU it errors out when it hits the EBOOT.PBP..

When I put the INSTALL.ZIP in any other game save folder (either via FTP or QCMA), I have to option to install via VHBL this time, but ends up freezing half way through.. Tried again with oneMENU, freezes and reboots oneMENU when it hits EBOOT.PBP.. Both attempts appear to be trying to install into /PSP/VHBL, which from what I gather, is our only option (for now) on 3.50..

My personal workaround which I'm considering resorting to, is to configure everything on my 3.18 device and just creating ISO's of all my emulators and homebrew, then loading it onto 3.50.. So far, 3.50 is only capable of running XMB and ISO's (from my limited experience).. anybody else have any luck?
