Apparently we're on twitter too
You just got yourself a new Playstation Vita, and are looking for a Custom Firmware solution? Then bookmark this page, as it will be kept up to date with the latest, greatest, and simplest solutions available.
Although there is currently no “native” CFW solution for the Vita, solutions exist inside the PSP emulator of the Vita, which give you various levels of homebrew/backup access.
If you can’t run any of those (either because you don’t have the right game, or because you have a recent firmware), an alternative to Custom firmwares is VHBL, assuming you are lucky enough to grab the exploited games when they get announced. VHBL is only a partial solution, as it only allows you to play a subset of PSP homebrews on the Vita.
One drawback is that all these solutions require you to purchase an “exploitable” game on the PSN when it gets announced. We regularly announce names of new exploitable games on this blog, so stay tuned if you didn’t get the games in time. In 2012 alone, 8 such game exploits were released.

Hey im new to this, ive got a ps vita version 2.0 after updating it.
I would appreciate if someone could reply and let me know how to put custom firmware on the ps vita so that I can play iso/cso files?-
hey..ne tooo..so sad…i wan play psp game!!!help me guys!
-
At the moment, there is no CFW for the PS Vita. If you wanted a way to put homebrew on your Vita, should’ve kept version at 1.80.
-
found someone on youtube running ecfw 6.60 tn-c at firmware 2.01
-
can you gave us the webpage?
-
I think that The Z Is releasing his VHBL Exploit some time
-
-
-
-
There is one on it’s way… A few days ago it was shown by ‘theZ’… But i don’t know when it’s gonna be released… :\
-
it will be releassed within the next couple of days via ninja release
-
i have waiting the ninja release… i will be releassed soon…
-
-
-
-
@mo12 there no ps vita cfw yet… so gotta be patient… i cant wait for it to come out and hopefully make cheat application for it too
-
I’m looking out for it…
Hope it comes soon!
-
I hope it comes out soon so i can use cheat codes on gravity rush’s rules of war dlc special mission cuz its super hard to beat
-
I’m a complete noob with this stuff. I don’t get ANY of the terminology, I just want to know what needs to be released, if it hasn’t already, that I can hack or jailbreak my Vita with to let me pirate some Vita games and just drag and drop them into my system so I can play them. Please help people that know 500x as much about this as I do.
-
i dont think anyone would want to help you as you state you want to pirate ps vita games. not many people support pirating of anything. plus, it doesnt take a rocket scientist to understand enough to know what or how to “hack or jailbreak” a ps vita. if you would take the time it took you to understand “pirating” and read a few things on this site you would understand “500x” more about “hacking or jailbreaking” a ps vita. good luck
-
yea i agree many either dont support or dont reveal they support pirating but to be fair most people pirate games because they think its cool
-
What are you smoking? People pirate games because it is the easier option.
-
No, children pirate games. people buy their games to encourage the developers to make more instead of abandoning the gaming system in fear of losing money to piracy.
-
-
-
-
Jailbreaking will be hard… For as far I know…
-
You sir, are stupid
-
-
Well I can see the psvita comming along nicely, hyacks are being new ofw’s are being hacked all the time. I cant wait to get my hands on a vita, I hope we have as good a scene with the vita as we did with the psp.
-
“BIG NEWS: Frostegater says he has a working kernel mode exploit for the PS Vita 2.00 OFW PSPemu and that a port of the TN eCFW is possible! ”
-
Yes, we posted about that 4 days ago: http://wololo.net/2012/11/21/working-psp-kernel-exploit-on-vita-2-0-future-releases/
-
-
O_O Cant Wait.
-
Hey,
Knowing this really isnt the place to ask this, any chance we can get ‘CFE TN’ for Wipeout 2048?
Because sony did a giveaway of that game (in collaboration with vodaphone and possibly other operators) in a few countrys, so at least half the Vita owners have that game.
Just a thought, not beeing ungratefull for what we got so far or anything.
-
It’s an vita game, so probably there won’t be an save game hack for it… I think it will be an normal update with some hacked files into it… so you can just update it to CFW… Just like the psp did…
-
-
i haven’t been into the psp cfw scene for years now,but looking to add it to my vita as there’s some games i cant find anywhere.if i have a vita that’s current version is 1.6 i believe so will i be able to use this “cfe” or have the games you need been patched already and it doesnt matter what version you have,you need a early version of the game?
-
if you dont already have the titles for exploits, you must wait. you need to get the exploited games as they are anounced and now with 2.0 i tihnk you should read a little about it
-
-
Hey wololo i want the cfw but i have the 2.00 and didnt have the hack.What should i do?Would it be other hack for 2.00?
Please Respond.
-
read the site man
-
-
Probably the guaranty will be invalid in just a few weeks…
Hackers will then hack the Vita easy… If it’s broken you don’t have to return it… You won’t get an replacement…Just hope the Vita will get an FULL CFW…
So we can also play downloaded Vita games…
-

Just an offtopic question, since i’ve been out of the CFW scene for a while. What happened to pspupdates.qj.net?
-
there is one for 1.81 but through ubanix ”minis” game its called 6.660 cfe something
-
Hi all I was wondering if the psv firmware 1.51 (which i have), is there a “native” CFW for this firmware. I was browsing the net and found this, is it real, and can this site even be trusted?: [scam link removed]
also is there a risk in bricking my psv doing either this cfw i was just asking about and the non-native “Total_Noob’s “CFE TN””. Also the top of this blog says 1.81 or lower, does that include 1.51 and can someone please send me a link for both the so called jailbreaked 1.51 cfw if it works, and the CFE TN
-
All sites that claim to have a “miracle” solution and ask you to answer a survey are fakes. If there was a real hack, sites like us would talk about it within 24h
-
oh, i just thought that maybe it’s old and that everybody would be way passed that firmware, and when people buy them now that they would start out higher, but since i bought mine on ebay from a certain store that it was probably sitting on it’s shelf for a while.
-
what option is best for me then since i have a 1.51 firmware, can you send me a link of the cfw (i guess psp emulator) that would be the best option for me
-
-
-
-
oops when i said send me a link for them i mean send me link for them (for the jailbreak one if it is real, send me a trusted download source link), and also please send me link to some instructions on how to do this, maybe a video or something
-
To All Hackers please try making an Android or ios Emulator
for the PsVita.. -
All these cfw for the vita are use less if we continue to
use psp games from the psn store, Try making the same CFW
LIKE ON THE PSP so we can run PSP ISO/ CSO.tHE SAME WAY.. -
what option is best for me then since i have a 1.51 firmware, can you send me a link of the ecfw (i guess psp emulator). or is there none, and no way of updating to 1.81 or something since 2.01 is already out, thus being the only option, to wait after updating to 2.01 for it to be released. Or is it best to keep it as is because the lesser firmware has less patches and can be hacked easier (but will homebrew devs bother with this firmware at all since it’s old)
-
hi i got a ps vita with ofw 2.01 i was wondering what download i can use for homebrew and emulators for gba nes etc.
if you can send some links and instructions thanks-
hey i just got me a ps vita. it came it came with 1.6 and I did use the CM as to update and then I got 2.01. So I was wondering if there are any ways to get CFW on it so that I can put PSP ISO?
-
-
Very interesting stuff, look forward in seeing it get release soon so I can port Choice onto it.
I held back on the latest release when I seen the 1.6.x and 1.8 exploits but the games were taken off the sony store so been waiting for another exploit. -
Can’t wait to play all of my old psp games!! I broke my psp go’s screen last year and really miss some of those rpg’s!
-
Guys plz help I have a ps vita on firmware 1.80 or less. Is there any way I can make ps vita ISO games work on it.
-
Not now. Come back in a year or two.
-
-
Is there any way to play PS vita games like Fifa 13 or other PS vita games on PS vita for free like dragging and dropping the ISOs etc? Can someone tell me?
-
Hi guys i am a long time Vita owner and my system is still on ofw 1.67, my question is, is there a way for me to put any cfw on my system at the moment? Also is there a way i can stay up to date with all vita developments coming from this site? Thanks in advance all =)
-
I just bought a vita on ebay with the uno hack… It definitely works… My question is can I transfer the units account over to my name without losing this? What if I want to upgrade to a larger memory card? Please help as I’m afraid to touch anything right now!!!
-
post your question on a hACKING FORUUM website.try psdashhacks
-
-
hey i just had my urbanix exploit save working fine and i put monster hunter on my memorycard and now i get that c1 error when i try to load up the exploit save
i hope i didnt ruin it! any ideas -
where the heck is DAX when ya need him…smh
-
I have a Vita updated to the latest firmware and I really want to get MGS Portable Ops running on it as it’s impossible to do so legitly. So I thought an ISO loader could do the trick. Is this not possible right now? Should I wait for a new exploit to be released or something?
-
I suppose if you stick with an older firmware for the CFW you lose the ability to use the PS Store then right?
-
yes that is correct. but really what new things are actually out that are worth getting. ive been waiting for ages for a new game to come out.
in fact ive been waiting since november for ratchet and clank q force. it was suppose to be released roughly a month ago. and ive seen and heard no word about whats happening with it.
stupid ps4. is that why there ignoring everything else? or is it because they dont care about anything thats not going to max out there profits?
-
-
t be honest id be happy with just getting to download fat princess fistful of cake. sure a proper exploit that gets access to vitas full power would allow for some wicked stuff to come out in regards to things like n64 emulators…
but for now i’ll pin my hopes on things that will probably never happen. better to aim to high then to get your hopes up for something that will just keep letting you down all the time.
-
to all the niggas that say “oh we don’t support pirating games” and what not, dumbass that’s the only reason why you’re here otherwise why follow the foru, it’ll be dumb to sit there with the tn/ark menu doing nothing, might as well upgrade the firmware if youre not gunna take advantage of ecfw…right?
-
Hi peeps, I jst got myslf a psv n I cnt afford 2b purchasin a game card. How can I play a dwnloadable psv games on ma console. Onlike d psp D̶̲̥̅̊α† all we need do î§ jst dwnload a game n transfer using ma laptop. Pls sombdy hlp.
-
u plz make a exploit for a demo game ape quest for ps vita plz plz plz plz plz plz……..
-
I’m not even buying a vita till there is CFW out.
-
an easy way to get back to the 1.80 or less is to restore the vita and not update it just saying
-
Plz guys m nu in2 diz..My PSV z currently 0n tha 1.81 versi0n..Can s0me0ne really break d0wn diz terms 4me n hw t0 make diz handheld-wich z nw a relic-interesting.Thnx in anticipati0n
-
I honestly hope that the vita receives its cfw a few good years after it’s release. I would appreciate getting a half decent library of games before developers ditch it like they did the psp. They won’t waste time to lose money on an infested pirate ship of a console… Posted from my psVita, A tablet in it’s own right.
-
What about a CEFW for 2.05? I wish i can play my old psp games, like yu-gi-oh lol, blessings! *_*
-
im on V2.06 on Ps Vita and i NEED help on getting hacks for Call of Duty Declassified and a Custom Firmware please help
-
I get a feeling that something big is gonna happen this year, someone other then Total Noob or the Pro team will find an exploit in the PS Vita, which will be like when TN found the exploit that opened up PSP’s possibility to have signed homebrews.
Also, an Nintendo DS or iPod Touch emulator on Vita.
Just a feeling, might not happen, but don’t give up hope.
-
TN had nothing to do with the possibility to sign homebrews.
-
you know what I mean, he revolutionized the PSP homebrew scene three years ago,I can’t remember exactly who did the signed homebrews.
I’m saying someone else might be working on a VCFW right now as of this message being typed.
-
I know what you mean, but I disagree with your statement that TN revolutionized anything. TN is a great PSP hacker, and probably one of the handful who still care about the community today. And for this he deserves LOTS of credit because many other hackers just gave up on the community. However, the work he’s done, besides finding Kernel exploits (which is a difficult task, but is nothing groundbreaking), has been reusing existing work, such as Dark Alex’s M33 FW.
You want to look for “revolutionary” stuff in the PSP scene? Look at Dark Alex’s initial explanations on how a custom Firmware would work, look at the first homebrew loader by Noobz, Look at the Pandora battery, look at the FailOverflow/mathieulh/kgsws work on signing homebrews, look at Virtuous Flame’s work in defeating DRMs for games, look at JJS’s work on perfect syscall estimation in user mode for VHBL, or, finally, look at Coldbird’s prometheus online project, which rewrote huge parts of the network drivers to allow things that simply were not possible before.
There were lots of great hackers in the PSP scene, and Total Noob is one of them. But when you use the word “revolutionize”, you should probably look elsewhere. Let’s give credit only where credit is due.
That being said, yes, I see what you mean, hopefully other people are hard at work looking into the Vita right now.

I see

ok im conpleate noob on vita although have hack psp ( pandra ) also wii and 360 to give u idea of background what i d like to know is i just revived my vita and firmware is 1.6 where should i go from here all i want is to be able to run homebrew on but if i dont update the firmware then will i still be able to play cod or resistance online im a bit confused with it all any help appreciated
-
If, i don’t have uno games and my firmware is 2.10. how to hack my ps vita then?
-
It mentions “If you are lucky enough to have the ‘right’ game” what is exactly is the right game, is there a list of games? can I buy that psyical game is a store or craigslist? or do I need to download it from the psn store?
-
you can find the list of games (up to date as I post this) here:
http://wololo.net/2013/04/17/lower-ps-vita-firmwares-for-dummies/
-
-
Someone ought to do something about Sam Jordam. Who’s to say he will not pull any shenigans?
-
Can someone pls tell how to unlock my 3g on my ps vita so that I can be able to use any sim card on it?
-
Would this UNO exploit + psp emulator work on my 1.67 vita? I heard UNO works for 2.02 and below. Also, how important is it to ‘activate’ my vita? Will the UNO exploit still work if I don’t activate it?
-
So, with PS Vita, OS 2.01, but no PS3 and no UNO installed on the PS Vita, what can be done? Seems like someone could do something with hacking the USB port’s firmware controller (flash it like in the PSP CFW), and jailbreak the damn thing. I want to root the PS Vita like was done with the PSP. I own a number of PS Vita games, and could just play them until I grow too old to move, and probably not get too bored doing it. Still, I’ve a large collection of PSP games in ISO that I’d like to play on my PS Vita. That’s where I’m at on this right now. Maybe there are others out there who want this as well. Dark Alex et al to the rescue…I hope and soon!
-
im at the same stop you are. but i think UNO came packaged with one of these downloads. i cant remember if it was TN or PRO. but at least one can with UNO. you might just need to install that. also uno uses FW 2.02, im just not sure if its 2.02 “and below”.
