Release: TN-V4 for PS Vita 3.01 (and below)
The long wait is over! Almost one year after his latest release, Total_Noob is back with an eCFW for the PS Vita.
Total_Noob’s TN-V4 lets you run a variety of PSP Homebrews, plugins, and emulators on your PS Vita. It is compatible up to firmware 3.01 included (the latest PS Vita firmware at the time of this writing), and requires you to own one of the exploitable games that was revealed recently in our Ninja release.

How to download and install TN-V4
For now, the installation process is a bit rough, but I’m sure our community will have tutorials and more “user friendly” packages up in a few hours. In the meantime, please follow the instructions below:
Downloads
- download 660.PBP Here. (choose the PSP 1000/2000/3000 version, *not* the PSP Go version). Depending on the download links, if the file you download is named EBOOT.PBP, rename it into 660.PBP
- Download TN-V4’s binary files here
- Download the TN-V4 Loader for your game here. Choose the download that matches your game and region!
- If you don’t have it already, download and install OpenCMA
Preparation
- Extract the savedata from the TN-V4 loader of your game on your hard drive, in your CMA’s PSAVEDATA/xxxxx folder (where xxxx are a bunch of letters and numbers).
- Copy TN.BIN, FLASH0.TN, and 660.PBP in the game’s savedata folder (where you can find ‘H.BIN’)
- Copy the game’s savedata to your Vita, using OpenCMA
Running TN-V4
- Now run the exploit for the game (the trigger varies on the game. For 101-in-1 megamix, just loading the savedata should be enough) and TN-V should start.
- On the first boot, the recovery menu will appear automatically.
- Select ‘Advanced ->’ menu and then select ‘Install 6.60 files’ (this step is only needed if you’ve never used TN-V4 before).
- Enjoy the install progress.
- After the install is done, go back and exit the recovery menu.
- Enjoy TN’s awesome work.
If the instructions above are not enough to get you started, head over to hackinformer.com for more details and files. You can also ask for help in the comments section below, or in the forums
What to do next?
We’ll try to keep you up to date with more user friendly packages and tutorials, as I said above I’m sure they will come soon. Now get crazy and start downloading a few emulators and homebrews, we have a huge list here, and here
Please post feedback and issues below. This is a huge release with many files and many possible scenarios, so it is highly possible a few mistakes slipped in the release. If it doesn’t work for you right now, please report your problems as precisely as possible, and don’t lose your temper!

Hi all this is my first ecfw so I was wondering if anyone could help me as to where I put my homebrew/emulators or ps1 iso? Any help would be appreciated! And a BIG thanks to total-noob for all his work on the vita scene and psp scene!

Firmware: 3.01, Game: 101-in-1 Megamix (US)
I have the same problem everyone else is having: green screen on launch. Tried changing language to English, not working. Nothing is working, there is no hope.
That happens if you forget to copy TN.BIN and FLASH0.BIN to the save data, but it might be caused by something else as well.
First I would like to thank Total_Noob, Wololo and all the others contributors for this TN-V4 release. You all made a great job !
Now i’m writing for reporting some problems with the TN-V4 with UNO(EU) on Firmware 2.02
I have two Psvita, one on the firmware 3.01 with 101-in-Megamix (EU), and the second one on 2.02 with UNO(EU).
I succeed to install TN V4 on the 3.01 firmware, but for this i needed to change the language in English(UK) if not I receive the error “C1-2858-3”.
On the second Psvita with the firmware 2.02 with UNO(EU) I had some problems.
I installed everything with the good files of UNO(EU). I can start the XMB at the momment where you have to validate the language,date and network pseudo. But at the end, when you have to validate, the XMB crash and send a message saying that we have a critical error. At this moment i cannot do anything anymore and i need to completly restart the Psvita.
I tried to change the language in English(UK),English(US) and French but nothing works.
I hope my report can help.
see you

holy *** thank you total noob 🙁 my first vita exploit pokemon games on vita here i come 🙂
Ok, I dunno if anyone else has been in a similar situation:
I had 2.02 and the Uno exploit before, so I had already installed 6.60
Now, I upgraded to 3.01, and used Megamix. On the first load, it went automatically to the Recovery Menu.
Out of curiosity, I tried to install 6.60 again. It gave me an error message. No big deal. I exit the Recovery menu and everything works fine.
But everytime I start up Megamix, it takes me straight to the Recovery Menu, which I thought was only for the first time.
it works. Thanks
UNO FW 2.02 TNV4 not working. Followed instructions.
change language Inglés (United States) before updating
I can’t launch it Error C1-2858-3 Megamix EU version too
error C1-2858-3. Using US 101 Mega mix, PSN MEXICANA??????????

I’m currently using OpenCMA 6. any solutions?
Same problem here, if anyone has a fix it would be greatly appreciated. And great job to everyone who helped contribute to the TNV4 project.
Should’nt you be using OpenCMA 5, for 2.xx ?

OH MY GOODD!!! Ustedes Son los mejores!! Muchas gracias!!.. Gracias a todos los que hicieron esto posible, a Wololo, Total Noob, The Zett, etc. Funciono.
I’m at school when I saw constantly checking then it popped up! Thank you TN gonna download this when I go home :DDD
Is there any way to mount ISO video on TN-V? On PSP CFW there was an option for that in VSH menu but here it’s missing.
Am on US3.01 and it works fine so far, thanks TN with the great update and wololo for the heads up!
Was easy install since it was pretty much the same method as the previous releases.
Tested VitaFTP, CWcheat, and PsPfiler and all works great!
I’ve compiled the files above+VitaFTP for the US3.01 here http://goo.gl/iSiuMc but please do install 6.60 on the first boot and install VitaFTP with the triangle button.
Thanks again all who contributed on this project.
What do i have to do to get rid of VHBL and use TNV4 instead?
This is how tto put ISO’s to your Vita, the easy way.
1. Install FTP for Vita. (Download from this link: (http://wololo.net/downloads/index.php/download/7673) then install it like you’re installing homebrew.
2. Watch this video. It shows step by step on how to put use the homebrew. (http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NPhYabvytcA)
Enjoy!
