Read this if you can’t run the PS Vita Rejuvenate hack
Yifan Lu released his beta for the Rejuvenate native hack on the PS vita a couple of days ago. I am trampled by the amount of emails, comments, twitter notifications that people send me with questions, so I’ll try to answer these questions.
I have the PSM Dev Assistant installed on my PS Vita, but I don’t have a publisher’s key, what do I do?
You have two options:
The first one is to ask a friend (with a publisher license) to generate a key for you. How to do this is described here.
The second option is to wait: there is a solution being prepared for people who don’t have a publisher’s license. It works and is just pending release. Stay tuned.
I registered to the PSM Dev portal, but I don’t have the PSM Dev Assistant installed on my PS Vita, what do I do?
It all boils down to you being able to install the PSM Dev Assistant on your vita. If the PSM Dev Assistant shows up in your download list, there’s hope for you, and you should try to download and install it. Tips to do this with the help of a proxy are explained here. Try and do it asap. I’d personally recommend to update your Vita to firmware 3.51, but if that means losing an ePSP exploit, the choice is up to you.
If you don’t have the PSM Dev App installed, and if it doesn’t show up in your download list, then you might be out of luck 🙁
I don’t have the PSM Dev Assistant installed on my PS Vita, and generally I have no clue what’s going on here, what do I do?
It seems you didn’t pay attention over the past 6 weeks. A prerequisite to running the Rejuvenate hack is to have the PSM Dev Assistant installed on your PS vita. In order to do that, you need to be a registered PSM Developer. Registrations for the PSM Developer program closed a few weeks ago, so if you never registered as a PSM Dev, and more specifically if you did not install the PSM Dev Assistant app on your PS Vita, you basically missed this opportunity.
However, there’s some new hope for you: The Rejuvenate hack is the very first open door into the Vita’s internals. With luck, other vulnerabilities will be found, that might be turned into new exploits, some of which might not require the PSM Dev assistant. Only time will tell of course, so you’ll just have to stay tuned for now.
I have the PSM Dev Assistant on my Vita, I have a publisher’s key, I have rejuvenate, but the thing won’t work, what do I do?
Check our “how to” here. Read the troubleshooting section, as well as the comments. If nothing helps, head over to #VitaDev on irc (efnet)
More questions? Ask in the comments, I’ll do my best to answer if time allows.

More people should’ve listened and paid attention. Its annoying to keep coming across these fools who just keep on complaining & complaining, as if its someone else’s fault but their own. It’s their fault. They missed their chance, and they deserve to be put in this position.
Incorrect. Many of us paid attention but were incapable of downloading anything because the mass of PSM requests got many of us sc***.
The massive amount of PSM requests was a problem to get a publisher’s license, not to get a dev’s license.
Glad i got everything in time n got it running ok. I just saw that someone has used the open sdk to create the second homebrew, the first being this hello world.
*** son. U r trolling those poor bastards who dont have psm assistant
You’re just sad because you didn’t get to say “FiRsT¡”
Its not like you’ve got to pay £9999 for it. They missed their opportunity, not their money. Use some rational thought here, kid. Perhaps you’re one of the rejects who missed it. Don’t take your anger out on me, take it out on yourself.
Look son i alr have the psm in my vita and am not *** abt it like you are doing
I can transfer the PSM app to another memory card right?
Yes, you can. Backup to PC with QCMA, then switch card and restore from PC.
“Tips to do this with the help of a proxy are explained here”
This worked for me, and is probably the best route if you have a ps3 and a vita…
Ok so on my pv vita OFW 3.50 I only downloaded PSM Dev For Unity onto it, but right now I’m looking at my DL list on my unmodified ps3 (I also have a modded ps3 but cannot connect to the internet) and I have both PSM Dev For Unity & PSM Dev Assistant, but both are greyed out i cannot download. Can i still do the charlie proxie thing on this firmware? I don’t really want to upgrade and I wont have money till this Friday to get a new/used Vita. I need some team as I do not really understand this stuff.
Nvm all that. I was able to get it on my Vita. Thanks guys! Keep up the good work!!! I wish I knew how to do this stuff so I could help out.
Wanna be my friend?
for the Keys?
🙂
Please be friends,
how can i have a key ?
I’ll be 😀
P.S. please give us the key
sure, i really need one
If anybody could please spare a dev key, I would really appreciate it.
you cant believe it i put my email here for key and some one send key picture to my email
Hahahaha thats what you guys get instead of just WAITING.
Anyone know how to solve this issue http://i.imgur.com/8yz1Yzm.jpg?
I ve got PS Vita 3.18. I ve PSM Dev Assistant installed but can’t update it through QCMA because it’s not working for me. Is there any other way to update?
Yeah, how do we use the sdk?
All these keys on my account and no I won’t give you one 😀
Question : with all the fuss around PSM, will there be ePSP release nonetheless or do you plan to concentrate on the native part of the vita (producing homebrews, searching for other hacks) ?
Someone told me that an ePSP exploit (didn’ said if it was kernel or usermod) was found for 3.51, do you plan to publish it ?
***! DON’T TALK ABOUT ePSP HERE. IT’S TIME TO MOVE ON THE NATIVE HACK. NOBODY GIVES A S**T TO ePSP
Is charles proxy, ps3, qcma trick still working for those on 3.18?
wololo please release a new vhbl exploit on 3.51. im only want a gba emulator, i don’t need anything else.
I managed to get everything in time but unfortunately forgot about the dev key. Hopefully the workaround comes soon.
Can’t you just install the PSM app with a cfw ps3, even if you don’t have it in your download list? Not sure if it’s outdated now, but by my logic, this should always work: https://twitter.com/kalashnik0v23/status/610785720194760705/photo/1
I don’t believe you can install it if it’s not on your download list, as my system had to connect to PSN while transferring it to verify, and it doesn’t normally need to.
Of course, there’s no harm in trying, as worst case scenario, it just doesn’t transfer.
The “How to” is not really helpful. There are more issues known, it’s very hard to figure it out by you won. I recommend to join the IRC Channel from yifan. #vitadev
jesus cant u do some research urself? wololo doesnt need to try help you but hes tried his best, the rest is up to u, if u cant figure it out then this hack isnt for you.
I installed the psm dev app but I do not have publisher license. I am on 3.51 and waiting further details to be released for bypassing this limitation. It is very exciting to have a first native hack for ps vita. Good work !!!
Okay, since I was stupid and did not get a PSM Dev App installed on my Vita, I had to think of something new on how to download a PSM Dev App without PS3 (since I don’t have one).
My Setup is as follows:
– 1 Laptop with built-in Wifi module
– TP-Link TL-WN823N with its Wifi Utility Software installed
– Fiddler or Charles Proxy
– PSP Vita with 3.51
What I basically did is – set up a new Access Point using the SoftAP feature of the TP-Link USB I used and then redirect all traffic to go through Fiddler / Charles Proxy. Everything seemed to be working at the given moment, I used Map Local (Charles Proxy, or Auto Responder in Fiddler) and replaced the original PKG file I was downloading with the PSM Dev app which I’ve downloaded from the web and Vita actually read the correct file size of 8MB of Dev App in its download list, but just after the download started Vita stated some weird error which didn’t let me go through with my emulated download. The error I am getting is: C2-13250-1. As soon as I figure how to bypass this error, I will be able to push the custom PKG without using PS3.
I have two Vitas with PSM Dev installed and am patiently waiting for the ability to run homebrew without a Dev License. Very excited about this progress! ^__^
Same! Im a developer and i just started to learn C/C++ so i can start on the vita. Going to write a Chip8 Emu first then maybe a nes or gba
Got PSM dev app on 3.18 and QCMA,CMA, PKG installer, TN-V Every thing I need to run this hack. My PS Vita is an ideal one it got everything.
“Failed the authentication to execute application.
Please re-create a Device Seed and App Key using with PSM Studio or Publishing Utility.”
I had the key and everything was alright but while trying rejuvenate it shows a message and terminates. Also while running demo it installs and terminate without any message
can one of you guys generate me a key please????? ricardomai62@gmail.com
