Playstation TV Hack – can’t get your whitelist to work? Here are some answers
The recently announced Playstation TV hack is leading to a torrent of questions from people who are not able to get it to work properly.
We’ve compiled this FAQ that might help you to unblock your issues running the Whitelist Playstation TV Hack.
Reminder: The Playstation TV hack for whitelist allows you to play most vita games on your PSTV, which was not possible until now. The steps to achieve this are described here.
Playstation TV Hack – Whitelist – The FAQ
1. I’m not receiving any email from Wololo.net through https://wololo.net/talk/pstv_whitelist/
- Make sure the email did not end up in your spam folder
- Make sure your email address is correct
- Try another email provider, as some providers blacklist emails from us.
- If none of the above works, try the manual way of sending the emails as described on the tutorial.
2. https://wololo.net/talk/pstv_whitelist/ tells me my email is invalid
- Type your email carefully to make sure you didn’t do any mistake. Avoid copy/pasting it from somewhere
- Try to use another email provider
- If none of the above works, try the manual way of sending the emails as described on the tutorial.
3. The email I receive contains some garbled text and no attached file, it doesn’t look like what I see on the tutorial screenshots
- This happens with some email providers that are having a hard time processing the hacked emails (hotmail seems to have issues). Try using another email provider such as yahoo or gmail
- Try using the manual way of sending yourself an email if you used https://wololo.net/talk/pstv_whitelist/ , or vice-versa
4. The emails I receive show a question mark instead of a photo symbol
- Try re-setting your Vita email account, or re-send all the emails from scratch, in particular the initial “writer” one
5. I cannot seem to register my gmail address with my Vita TV. I keep getting an error C2-14396-3
- gmail have enhanced security and the PS Vita email client is not compliant with this. But you can fix that, check our detailed steps here: How To: use gmail on the PS Vita/ PS TV (fix error C2-14396-3)
6.I followed all the steps and nothing works, help!
- Try the steps again, make sure you open the emails in the right order, it is easy to mess up!
- Not all games work with this technique. Make sure you try on a few “blacklisted” games before you conclude nothing works
7. None of the games I tried are working, what’s going on?
- Several games are still not working with this trick. There’s a more advanced solution that involves editing your “app.db” file. Check it here.

First, I would like to thank wololo a million for saving me a lot of time. Now Vita tv actually reads cartridges such as BlackOps Declassified no problem. And kudos to Everyone envolved with the scene.
But, My parents are nasty and will simply refuse getting me numblast. If anyone has a PSN uk card I Will be very greatfull.
First, I would like to Thank wololo for that use information.
Secound, I would really appreciate if anyone could buy Numblast for me Because my Parents Simply Refuse to do so. Thanks.
Lol first? Prolly not
Hacker,you SUPER puper i you very very BIG Love!!
I think I’m gonna have to agree with stan here on this one.
I like how useful, quality centric, always on topic, and a bit ***-erotic Stanislav posts are.
very useful (just like my post right now) 😀
First! yes! xD
Im just loving the fact that the Rejuvenate is not working for me on my Vita. I got the 1st 4 Files, but when I went to check for the additional 2 Files that get sent out, it does not show them, or on my Vita, the Email does not show.
Ok enough of this first im first or second etc its very annoying and i know im not the only one who has commented on this bs. As for the whitelist all games work just fine at least all 30 i tried. I also think if certain games cant work it has more to do with the current firmware you may be currently on.
If u are getting the invalid email thingy, try from a computer not a smart phone/tablet.. worked for me.
You’re missing a section for the people that got the first part (writer.eml) to work but not the second part.
writer.eml is sent successfully. It arrives and attached is an image that (when clicked) throws the error as expected. The mail app is forced close (the ok button ignored) and the email account is then re-setup as per the tutorials.
The problem. Any subsequent emails with the target path in the subject and the file (to write) as an attachment arrive with “done” beneath it (not “#0”, not “x”). This happens automatically without user interaction. When the attachment is clicked it does nothing. When blacklisted games are tested (that others have confirmed to work) they don’t launch. (and yes – this was tried offline to remove the chance that the whitelist was overwritten by the official servers)
I’ve tried this so far on two different PSTVs – both with the same results. There are other people on different sites who have been reporting the same problems. It appears we’re in the minority – but still – something is sc*** up.
I’ve been trying to overwrite the whitelist for the past three days without success. So if you can help please post in the thread here:

Please keep whitelist hack working with newer firmwares please 🙁
Please keep me updated when we can play all the games that are in the whitelist.
I can play some of them that are in the list but not all of them.
So this won’t work on 3.55 right ? :\
Anyone know if this will work on the latest latest firmware as of 23/10/2015?
I assume version 3.55
