Modoru means "to go back" in Japanese and is a downgrader for the PS Vita.
Requirements
Your device must already run HENkaku/h-encore on firmwares 3.60-3.68 in order to use this software. Firmwares 3.69 and 3.70 can use this software once a new hack is released.
Your device's battery has be at least at 50%.
All your plugins must be disabled, therefore you will not be able to launch the downgrader from a SD2VITA and hence, you must have a Memory Card (or Internal Storage).
If you have installed IMCUnlock by SKGleba, it is recommended to uninstall it first before attempting to downgrade.
Obtain the PSP2UPDAT.PUP file of your desired firmware (make sure that this firmware is officially hackable) and place it at ux0:app/MODORU000/PSP2UPDAT.PUP (don't install modoru.vpk afterwards, otherwise the update file will be removed).
Disable all your plugins. Easiest way is renaming ux0:tai and ur0:tai to some other name.
Reboot your device and relaunch HENkaku/h-encore.
Launch the modoru application and follow the instructions on screen.
Enjoy the installation and welcome to your favourite firmware.
