PS Vita 3.69 / 3.70 Jailbreak Announced by Scene Dev TheFloW!
Following his H-encore 2.0 PS Vita Kernel Exploit / Jailbreak and Sony's recent PS Vita 3.70 Firmware Update, today PlayStation Vita scene developer TheFloW announced that he plans to publicly release a PS Vita 3.69 / 3.70 Jailbreak in 6-8 weeks that requires users to have a PSP game demo installed on their handheld console to utilize it. 
Below is the official announcement from his Github, to quote: PS Vita 3.69/3.70 Jailbreak PSA
First of all, thank you for your patience and support, your wait will soon be over. It's been more than half a year since the release of h-encore and it has reached nearly half a million downloads!
Now it's time for my second and last jailbreak for the PS Vita. Unlike previous exploits chains, this one will not use a WebKit or savedata exploit as entry point, but a novel one.
The upcoming exploit chain consists of a PSP Emulator Escape. This means it is exploiting bugs in the emulator to escape the sandbox and run native ARM code. While this is cool and technically very interesting, there is a catch: your device must be linked and activated with a PSN account, such that you can download and install a PSP game from the store.
The problem is that in case Sony releases a new firmware which fixes this entry point, you'll not be able to access the store anymore and therefore, not be able to hack your device. Hence, some coordination is required, such that nobody misses the chance (if you're maintaining a blog or forum, please stick this PSA on top, so people are aware of this opportunity).
For that reason, I am giving you 6-8 weeks time to download and install a PSP game, then I will drop the jailbreak. This should also be enough time for you to search and buy a new PS Vita.
Follow the instructions below to successfully prepare your device for the hack:

PS4 Unjail and FTP Plugin Unity Native Code via Zecoxao Arrives
Proceeding his PS4 Flash Dump SFlash0Unpack utility last month and several PS4 Xplorer app updates, PlayStation 4 developer @zecoxao shared via Twitter some PS4 Unjail and FTP Plugin Unity Native Code which is both based off the previous release by @RetroGamer74 with help from @cfwprophet and forked from RetroGamer_74's Github repository for PS4 scene devs. 
Download: PS4_UnjailPlugin_Unity_NativeCode-master.zip / GIT
To quote from the README.md: PS4 Unjail Plugin Unity Native Code
This is the source code for the Unjail method converted into a Unity Plugin to be used in Unity PS4 for homebrew development.
Open the SLN file into Visual Studio 2015. Be sure you've got the corresponding *** to build this.
When you compile it you will get in the upper folder of the project a new folder named Plugins. That folder has to be copied into Assets folder of Unity Project.
That's all.
CREDITS
This Unity Plugin was developed by retrogamer_74 and the source code for unjail is part of the libHB developed by cfwprophet
Notes
Ftp support has been added to this plugin. maybe more will come, we'll see
Below is further insight on the plugin from RetroGamer74, to quote...
