PS VITA / PS TV (PSTV) VitaDefilerClient Installer Without The Need Of A Vita

​

Are you a frustrated PSTV owner because don't own a Vita in order to have access to all needed files in to fully Rejuvenate your PSTV with PSM+ thus bringing life to the system finally? Something it seems even Sony has failed to do calling our beloved system a "legacy" device. Well wait no more folks the answer to all your prayers are finally here thanks to the marvelous mr. gas and SMOKE!! No worries about the [break].[/break]limitations of 3.51 & lower or the lockout at firmwares 3.52 and more.

​

Installation Method
​

Instructions:
1. Copy the UNITY-TV folder for your Unity app version to CMA's PSAVEDATA/<random numbers>/ folder.
2. Copy the savedata to your PSTV ( You will need to use VitaUpdateBlocker )
3. Make sure you have no notifications and are not downloading anything.
4. Rebuild database in recovery.
5. Using Outlook or Thunderbird, forward the eml to your email account.
6. Find any Vita app or game that has an update available, click update, and then pause the download.
7. Open the Email app and click the attachments one at a time.
It should show an error that says it could not display the image. DO NOT click the ok button.
Instead, press home and close the Email app.
8. Once you have installed both files, reboot your PSTV again.
9. Then, continue the download. The download should now be ~5mb. If not, something went wrong.
10. Once downloading is complete, open the Unity app ( You might need to install PSM+ ) and delete the 0000 "app"
11. You should now only have Vita Defiler Client installed in Unity. Now you can cancel the installation notification.

How to update if you have used this method before:
1. Simply FTP the Application & System folders from this pack to cache0:/VitaDefilerClient/
eg. I have Unity 1.06, so the folders and files I need to replace on my PSTV are in Unity 1.06/UNITY-TV/p/VitaDefilerClient/

Troubleshooting:
-To install PSM+ on your PSTV, use the Device ID your Vita assuming you have a Vita as well. (**Hint Youtube can help with this and will not risk anyone's account or system**)

Credits:
mr.gas for the trick
SMOKE for preparing files & writing instructions

**PLEASE NOTE**​

PSM Unity v1.05 for 3.20 and below and PSM Unity v1.06 is for firmware 3.36+. Both are included here in the install zip. The latest EML File Generator 0.3 can be found here at Major Tom's github page. Also one MUST use Codestations (Windows & OSX flavors available) QCMA and since the PSTV lacks USB support one must set the app to 3.10, allow connection without internet, spoof with the latest VitaUpdateBlocker by iAmGhost. Both PSTV/Vita need to be on the same wireless network (yes it can be on a mobile hotspot using Vita Defiler reported here earlier today so a PC or Android is also needed pick your poison) in order for PSTV to see QCMA for EML trick. I use the "pportable" version of Thunderbird with my gamil account to send EML file to write to Vita memory card. This took a lot of work to figure out the right settings so I wanted to share and save you some time/heartache. If choosing Android over a PC you may want to have a look at the link I posted earlier here as all tools and apps needed by either PC or Android are covered between the two articles as well as all the latest up to date native Vita side applications. I hope you all enjoy this as much as I have.

don't worry though as rejuvenate works with both 1.05 and 1.06. it'll ask which version u have installed actually.

 

I got farther! I got to email and clicked on eml file but I clicked ok...ooops
Do I have to start over or can I just click on it again and then back out?

edit: [MENTION=3657]pinky[/MENTION] step 8 says after installing both files?
But I only have 1 eml file in email...
Confused again

I'm at the last step! But I don't know why step 8 says both files.
What files should be there?
I only have eml and when I restart it isnt 5 mb download.

Latest PSTV only installer.

And updating games and software is OK. Updating firmware isn't. Think of it like PS3, when you update to the latest firmware would be like going from CFW to OFW. On the PS3 you can update a game but the firmware you just don't do.


Edit

PSVita: PKG Installer, Custom Themes, Trophy hack, PSTV white list & Re-Birth of the Bubbles for all FW

These guides are the best that's out there.

 

i cannot get a 5MB download- step 9
what two files is it telling me to install?
I only have the eml that it tells me to forward
or was that quote taken from an updated post with the outdated files?
so these are the two it is talking about? Thanks for the update

And one more clarification..
If I have two eml files and I cant click ok on them then how do I try to open the second one?
Do I Click on one then close email, go back in and click on the other?

yes, click one of the files, exit the email app, open the email app, click the other one, close the email app. do not click ok with either of them, just simply close the app. the update should turn into the 5MB file.

 

Is it showing a "?" if so there is a fix in the tutorials I listed above.

 

Major break-thru by Smoke :

Finally device id DOES MATTER! I hope to get rid of error 80251002 with this! Thanks Smoke!

 

I'm trying to install the defiler on my pstv, but I'm still having issues with game updates. the borderlands 2 update is trying to force me to update my system software. I've done EVERYTHING to get around it, but nothing works. I asked hack informer, and thus far, they haven't been able to figure out y this is happening either. it simply shouldn't be happening. I can't really use unity without the defiler, so it's useless to me atm. well, I can use it on the vita, which btw, doesn't try to force me to update with game updates. I don't recall ever encountering this issue before either.

 

I've managed to fix the update issue. now, I just need to force the install. I do remember having some issues on the vita, so I'll give it a whirl later.

 

just learned something else - u must inject daily license files into unity or it'll say something about updating the app.

Yea wololo and hackinformer both host the PSM+ license file. You MUST register and login for wololo while hackinformer this isn't needed. They did this once Sony shut down PSM so PSM+ was born. It's the major restriction of the exploit so internet connection is a must everyday even if you leave the program running and don't close it. Unlike LCFW for the PSP that works till a hard rest happens. I was hoping leaving it sleeping we could bypass this. Till homebrew matures I feel PSP is the way to go till RetroARCH matures. Only homebrew I find is worth this trouble is Vitashell for its ease of Bubble making but even that's limited. Also another thing I like to do which [MENTION=2]STLcardsWS[/MENTION] pointed out is using PS3 Remote Play to use a CFW PS3 for homebrew but even then the video is degraded. Even then unlike PS4 Link an up to date firmware nor internet is required.

 

i got defiler installed in unity but when i start it it goes to the powered by unity spalsh screen then stays there. never goes any further at all. On pstv 3.20 followed smokes guide with the set device id for psm. Although never finished setup.bat as idk how to transfer license file for psm+ since you cant attach pstv to pc via usb.

anyone have any ideas why it just gets stuck at the splash screen

it will stay on the splash screen until u initiate the homebrew on ur computer. what it's doing is normal. u transfer license files with psm+ via the eml trick. just open each "image" file, close the app without clicking okay like u did with the original app key ring, device seed, etc. u can use ur vita's information for the pstv's device id, but u can make one up as well since there's no verification involved.

Oh didnt know that thanks and not talking about the license key on the pstv itself. Have that part handled. Talking about when setting up rejuvenate for the pc basically im stuck at step 12 for rejuvenate. on hack informers psm+ site.

12. Extract the downloaded archive
Where to get the downloaded archive.
Using smoke method from wololo use that for device name and did the 4+2 already so the pstv side is set up

Where to get the archive to import the keys? cant connect the pstv viua usb for Publishing Utility for Unity. unless im missing another way to connect it

EDIT: NVm im retarded. damn chrome and no download notification

 

u get the downloaded archive from the psm+ site by inserting ur email and device id which u should get with one of the earlier steps. it will have ur app key ring, device seed, etc. import them after that.

edit: well, ur almost done.

 

yea just trying to get to get the pstv to be seen by the setup.bat for defiler . Keep getting waiting for vita to connect.

Not sure if im missing something here. or cuz its a pstv not a regular vita.

Unity 1.05 installed on pstv. Defiler client installed also. Start it up on the pstv and screen goes black and powered by unity splash screen pops up.
trying to finish teh setup.bat. Got everything so far asks if I want to install defiler client which i assume is already installed but when ever i try to run hello_world hombrew just says waiting for vita to connect.

Both my pstv and pc connected on teh same network. Have tried with the proxy for vita update blocker on and with it off.
Ps3 open sdk and stuff wasnt this much of a pain to setup/

Edit: got it connected properly now Yay

 

glad u got it working. yeah, u have to use the tutorial in this thread to get defiler installed, use the credentials of ur vita or make them up, and connect. there's no way to connect the pstv via usb, so u have to do the before mentioned steps. installing defiler is like installing unity on the pstv. u can install defiler via usb on the vita though. u do need vita update blocker for installation, and u need to use qcma rather than open cma or u won't be able to install folders of files. a lot isn't mentioned in the tutorials, so ur left to fend on ur own. great work, though. good job!

 

yea takes alil bit to get started. reminds me of the old psp 1.51/52 - 3.xx days before pandora battery and the like. Still have my gta liberty city stories copy that enabled the 2.00 exploit.

Question though since im not as versed with vita stuff as i used to be with psp. Anyway on 3.20 to edit app.db and just install hombrew apps and bubbles to pspgame folder without having to replace a game already on the pstv? Similar to how the package installer bubble is created. Like add folder ux0:pspemu/PSP/GAME/TEST01234/PBOOT.PBP and have each hombrew be a different bubble without having to replace a base game

to answer ur question, use bubble blower. it will use a base game to create bubbles of ur homebrew. ur base game won't be replaced if doing so. u also don't need to go through the app.db.

 

thanks for the help. have it up and running although seems some of the native vita homebrew kinda dies on the pstv but long as i can use the ftp server should save time to update stuff int eh future. Tn-v up and running messign with bubble blower. will try and get bubbles for both ark and vhbl also installed just for redundancy and testing. and since im on 3.20 can use the tn-x as well. will pick up tekken 2 the only game in teh series i have never owned a physical copy of.

the only thing im waiting for is some sort of param.sfo editor for the vita to allow higher firmware games to be played on lower ones. since doubt a lot actually need any syscalls and stuff from teh higher ones. Dont care if actually vita piracy happens on not. Would rather see the pstv get more effort put into it by sony. or an upgraded model that comes with usb-mini port to connect to pc, maybe a battery pack addition with something like miracast to connect wirelessly to tv would be nice but thats just a pipe dream.

The only thing cant figure out is why some games cant transfer from ps3 to pstv even with whitelist patched(vita and psx one from wololo). trying to copy over crash bandicoot 2 psx which i bought on ps3 long ago
