PS VITA / PS TV Henkaku / Enso 3.65 for 3.60 user's Released by TheFlow!

Following the preview that @Roxanne (psx-place's newest addition to the writing team) informed us a few days ago, now comes the official release from developer TheFlow as he drops 3.65 HENkaku Ensō Updater, this will not jailbreak 3.65 firmware, what it will do is allow EXISTING exploited (HENkaku) 3.60 user's to update to 3.65, no longer keeping you in the 3.60 sandbox and allowing your to play additional games since the HENkaku release. Be sure to checkout all the details and information provided by TheFlow, as the dev has also updated the Adrenaline, DownloadEnabler, NoNpDrm and SD2VITA utilities to support 3.65 links also provided below.​

  3.65 HENkaku Ensō Updater
  
  This does not allow you to hack your console that is on a firmware past 3.60. You need to be on firmare 3.60 in order to use this software.​
  
  
  Custom Firmware 3.65 HENkaku Ensō is a port of henkaku to the latest possible firmware that does still have the bootloader vulnerability.​
  
  Pros
  
  • You will be able to access the PSN store, activate your device and download your purchased games again (only as long as Sony doesn't decide to release a new update that prevents you from doing that).
  • You will be able to play all games that were released for firmwares 3.61-3.65.
  Cons
  
  • You will not be able to downgrade back to 3.60 if you find that this custom firmware doesn't suit you.
  • You can lose the ability to run homebrews, if you modify the OS and end up in a semi-brick where you are forced to reinstall the firmware. This should however not happen to a regular user, but I'd rather not install applications that modify read-only partitions like os0: or vs0:.
  • Some applications may not work on the new firmware and need to be ported.
  
  FAQ​
  • Are Adrenaline, DownloadEnabler, NoNpDrm and SD2VITA compatible on 3.65?
    • Yes they have all been updated and are available under my repositories. (Links Below)
  • Is it risky to perform this update?
    • All my betatesters have successfully updated and have no issues so far. The updater has been designed carefully, so you dont need to worry.
  • Will I lose the hack if I format my Memory Card or restore the systems settings?
    • No, you can nearly do everything with your device and you will not lose HENkaku. You must just NOT reinstall the 3.65 PUP.
  • I have installed a bad plugin and now my device doesn't boot anymore
    • Try to enter the Safe Mode and choose 2. Rebuild Database. This will allow you to boot the device with plugins disabled and fresh config.txt files.
  • Will I be able to hack my device that is on 3.65/3.67?
    • Not with this software. I will release my exploit chain by the end of this year or next, so you have to be patient.

  Instructions
  
  1. Download updater.vpk and PSP2UPDAT.PUP.
  2. If you are on a firmware below 3.60, update to 3.60 and install henkaku. Then you can skip to 4.
  3. If you are already using 3.60 HENkaku (Enso), uninstall all plugins and uninstall the enso patch. It is recommended to first unlink the Memory Card in HENkaku Settings before you uninstall, so that your Memory Card won't be restricted afterwards due to the spoofed version at ux0:id.dat. Uninstalling all plugins and the enso patch is extremely important, as they can interfere with the update process if enabled (the updater will notice you in case you have not uninstalled them correctly).
  4. Install updater.vpk using VitaShell and put the PSP2UPDAT.PUP file at ux0:app/UPDATE365/PSP2UPDAT.PUP.
  5. Reboot your device, start HENkaku and directly launch the updater, without launching anything else before like VitaShell or Adrenaline (since they start kernel modules). Also make sure that your battery is at least at 50% Vita user's
     
  6. Follow the instructions on screen and enjoy the update process.
  7. When the updater finishes flashing the new firmware, custom modules will be written to vs0:tai and the bootloader hack injected to the eMMC. You should now be on 3.65 HENkaku Ensō.

I'm thinking of finally updating to 3.65, are there any preventive measures like any useful homebrew apps that i can use just in case my vita suddenly f*cks up so i can re-install vitashell, i only know of using PSVIMGTOOLS-FRONTEND and S.O.S., call me paranoid but i like to have as many options as possible to restore vitashell, thanks to anyone that can help and suggest

 

As far as I know the answer is no. Only thing I know about is SOS. Until flow releases the 3.67 hack I'm afraid we do t have the luxury of being able to install the firmware again like we did on 3.60.

 

I think someone is spreading around false information regarding 3.65 ensou. I read somewhere that you could reinstall 3.60 if you roll back the spoofer to 3.52 which shouldn't work. I saw it as part of an faq.

also, if you don't have vita shell/molecular shell or if something happens to it, use the image tools to inject the app back into a backup. you may need to use that one tool to inject the app automatically. it can read your individual key based on its id. I forgot the dev's name who made it, but he's on here.

LOL. Is not a spoofer matter, there are hashes similar to one of ps3 coreos. Downgrade is impossible at all. If you ever go to 3.65 there is no way to get back.

I think you are talking about PSVimgtools by S&P. Looks like is true, and you can add vitashell using this tool.

 

yeah, I believe the faq mentioned using a game to update. I knew it was false which is why I have a "misinformation" section in my post. I wanted to warn people about this in case they decided they didn't like 3.65 for some reason or something got corrupted.

yeah, @SilicaandPine . I know he's a member here, yet his mention doesn't show his name (unless I misspelled it). anyway, there's another way to inject vitashell into the system - overwriting a default app. that way, you never have to worry about vitashell not appearing. I'm not really sure why that's happening to people in the first place, unless they just forget to update the sd2vita plugin before updating. that would be my guess anyway. there's a third option called storage manager which performs the tasks of both gamesd.skprx and usbmc.skprx , but I've never tried it. all three have been updated to 3.65 though.

 

Been searching and reading more on how to re-install VitaShell and so far there's 3, SOS, psvimgtools & HBInjector, i'd look into it more before finally updating and see which of the 3 is the most promising for me
