TheFlow states that his FW 3.65-3.68 hack will be released THIS SEPTEMBER since he found a second exploit chain!
Update: Title got updated from ‘next September’ to ‘this September’ since next September is ambiguous as it could refer to either September 2018/2019. Sorry for any heart attacks caused 🙂
Ever since TheFlow announced his intention to release a hack for FW 3.65-3.68, many people have repeatedly asked for a more specific ETA than ‘sometime later this year or next year’. Now, their prayers have been answered as TheFlow confirmed that he will release his hack for FW 3.65-3.68 next September since he found another exploit chain!
What do we know? Will I finally be able to hack my FW 3.61+ PSVita/PSTV?
It seems that TheFlow finds exploiting the PSVita quite amusing since he never stops trying to bust its doors open 🙂
A couple of hours ago, TheFlow revealed that he had been working on another exploit chain for the PSVita during the last month and now, he has almost pieced it together! That by itself is great news since it means that even after he releases the exploit he’s been promising, he’ll still be sitting on yet another hack for a higher FW. This is great since Sony will presumably release a firmware update to patch his FW 3.65-3.68 hack.
However, the good news doesn’t end there as TheFlow also announced that he will be releasing his upcoming hack in September 2018! This new ETA is more specific than ‘not before next September’ which he revealed to us a short while, so that means that in 3 months or so, you’ll be able to hack your PSVita/PSTV running FW 3.61-3.68!
Obviously, this is very exciting news since those stuck on a firmware higher than FW 3.60 will be able to hack their PSVita/PSTV to make it more useful but there are still things to look out for!
What should you do now?
This is the question on everybody’s mind after major news and it’ll be explained here so that you won’t regret any impulse actions!
Those waiting patiently for HENkaku/taiHEN on 3.65-3.68 will soon be liberated 🙂
You should do the following:
- If you have a PSVita/PSTV running firmware 3.60, stay there or use TheFlow’s CFW Updater if you really want to install firmware 3.65. Currently, you should not update since FW 3.65-3.68 still aren’t hackable since TheFlow hasn’t released his upcoming hack just yet!
- If your PSVita/PSTV is running firmware 3.61 or 3.63, you’re safe to update to firmware 3.65 NOT firmware 3.67/3.68!!
- You should update to firmware 3.65 because TheFlow’s upcoming hack won’t support firmware 3.61 and 3.63. However, you shouldn’t update to firmware 3.67/3.68 because they won’t be getting untethered HENkaku (HENkaku Ensō) so you’ll have to reapply HENkaku/taiHEN every time you reboot!
- Those on firmware 3.65 should stay there for the above reason.
- However, if your PSVita/PSTV is running firmware 3.67 or 3.68, there isn’t much to do at this point except for waiting.
While not necessary for hacking the PSVita, HENkaku Ensō will save you the headache of having to reapply taiHEN every reboot!
You’re safe to update to FW 3.68 if you’re on FW 3.67 so that you can still use PSN since not much has changed between the two.
Conclusion
As usual, patience is key here and nagging TheFlow won’t get his hack released any faster. That means that you should patiently wait till September arrives for TheFlow’s release since after all, he doesn’t owe you anything!

great news
Its not NEXT SEPTEMBER.. its THIS SEPTEMBER haha.. you made it sound like september 2019
exactly my thought ! I almost had a heart attack thought i should wait 1,5 year !
Sorry haha, next is an ambiguous word in this context. Title updated to prevent any potential heart attacks 🙂
another heart attack sentence remains ,,llooll
‘not before next September’ which he revealed to us a short while,
This was already pointed out to to you in you last article about the flow but you ignored the advice lol
We’re not worthy!!!!
why not just simply write “September” ? why make lots of confusion with next/this, it’s primary school knowledge 😛
but that could be any september!
/s
Saying next September is confusing and deceptive, I thought you meant next year in 2019. You should just say September 2018 instead
There’s nothing much to play on newer firmwares is there ? Can’t think of a thing.
Stardew Valley
Catherine for Psvita
Hey Aurora, you realise when you say, “next September” that means September 2019.
For future clarification you could use, “this September” or just put the year beside it to make it more palpable.
Not really there is no generally agreed upon definition for this.
“This XYZ” can not used at any time and is also confusing so only a year would make it 100%
English mustnt be your first language
When you say “next” September – you are referring to the NEXT september that is coming – which is the 2018 September.
If they were referring to the 2019 September, you would say “the following September”
I know English is a hard language, but its not that far – this one is pretty obvious
mustn’t
it’s
😀
“This september” again!? Pfft, those non native english speakers/writers.
thanks for keeping us informed!
Will it work on any PSV, even a PSV with already 3.68 ?
Did you even read the above post?
No, I just did, I’m going to buy a vita, brb
Oh! come on you Grammar Nazis lol
You guys need to fix the image and text wrapping. It’s very hard to read on mobile!
Other than that, sweet!
Omg all the people complaining about “next septmeber” just *** and be happy theres another exploit coming soon…-_- dammit
It seems kind of lackluster without enso to me. Like if I was using sd2vita on a trip and my battery died, I wouldn’t be able to access my games without an internet connection?
Kaulau memang sudah ada peretasan, kenapa tidak di publikasikan. Semua itu mungkin untuk kesejahteraan kita semua.
Ching chong ching chong.
Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but which games are worth playing on that update?
The Witcher 4, The Last of Us 2 and Half Life 3.
I also heard Skyrim was getting ported to the Vita too.
This is great news since my vita suffered water damage and i´m not sure if it´s salvageable. I still ordered one from ebay but i don´t know the firmware. But now i am happy since i won´t lose my hacks. So thank you the flow for being such an awesome hacker and thanks wololo for keeping me on the loop
Hey does anyone have a download link to the 3.65 vita firmware? i wanna update but not to 3.68
Actually, there is no reason to nag him.
There is only one thing to say:” Thank you.”
What about a js listener exploit and a netcat payload for psvita ?
Isnt iT time ? Like ps4
I said this before and I’ll say it again. Whatever this man promises….. he will release it
Now all we need is one for PS4, especially come September with Spider-Man, RDR2, Black Ops IV
why don’t redo an homebrew challenge for the occasion? The prize could be done with users’ donations.
Im out of here. These Comments make my head hurt…..
I’m a little curious about something. I’ve been wanting Henkaku for my Vita for the longest, but I’ve got a bunch of stuff I bought from the PSN that I don’t currently have installed on my Vita or backed up to my PC. I’m on whatever firmware version was available before the current one. There are no other Vita games I want to purchase, so would it be safe to update to the most current firmware just to download my remaining games and back them up? Will I still be able to install Henkaku once it becomes available?
Noooooooo!!! Do not update your firmware!!!
Follow these directions for a manual DNS address that will allow you to enter the psn store with out updating.

Bah… I goofed. I had forgotten that I had already run Henkaku for my PSTV. So when I plugged it in and it asked to update, I didn’t even think about it, and agreed. Now I’m stuck on 3.68.
I’m a patient man, so not a problem really, just annoyed at myself for blindly upgrading when I should have known better.
<3 TheFlow
Yay!!! That will make an awesome birthday present!! Cant wait to play some old PS1 and psp titles.
Do you like hacking electronics? Would you like to builf your own games using ESP32 on a handheld console you build yourself?
Check me out on github
This should be updated, TheFlow stated that the jailbreak is going to be released on the 1st of July.
