Following his recent progress, NoNpDrm v1.2 / Download Enabler v4 / Gamecard MicroSD v1.1 updates and 6.61 Adrenaline-6.1 PlayStation Vita developer TheFloW released a 3.65 HENkaku Enso Updater on Github for PS Vita Custom Firmware (CFW) today with details below alongside a v1.1 BugFix update via yifanlu. :D

Download: enso.vpk (v1.0) / enso.vpk (v1.1) (Fixes installer bricking in rare occasions when trying to uninstall. No changes made to the payload. Visit enso.henkaku.xyz for more information.)

From the README.md, to quote: 3.65 HENkaku Ensō Updater

:alert: This does not allow you to hack your console that is on a firmware past 3.60. You need to be on firmware 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 and cons

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.
Instructions
  1. Update VitaShell to v1.82 or later
  2. Download updater.vpk and PSP2UPDAT.PUP.
  3. If you are on a firmware below 3.60, update to 3.60 and install henkaku. Then you can skip to 5.
  4. 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).
  5. Install updater.vpk using VitaShell and put the PSP2UPDAT.PUP file at ux0:app/UPDATE365/PSP2UPDAT.PUP.
  6. 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%.
  7. Follow the instructions on screen and enjoy the update process.
  8. 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.
FAQ
  • "Are Adrenaline, DownloadEnabler, NoNpDrm and SD2VITA compatible on 3.65?" - Yes they have all been updated and are available under my repositories.
  • "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.

3.65 HENkaku Enso Updater for PS Vita CFW by TheFloW is Released 2.jpg–THIS DOES NOT WORK FOR DEVICES THAT ARE ALREADY ON FW 3.61 OR HIGHER!!!–

TheFlow’s 3.65 HENkaku Enso Updater is for PS Vita devices that are currently running Firmware 3.60. The Updater will update the Vita’s system software from 3.60 to 3.65 and install a Custom Firmware alongside version 3.65. Be sure to update VitaShell to v1.82 before you install the 3.65 Enso CFW, otherwise you will have problems with your device!

#reF00D - Running higher FW games without Comp Packs [3.69 on 3.68/3.65/3.60] by dots_tb

Download: reF00D.skprx / GIT

From the README.md, to quote: reF00D - By FAPS Team
  • the French - CelesteBlue123
  • the American - dots_tb
  • the 【Princess of Sleeping】 - PoSsvkey
  • With juliosueiras and TheRadziu - AluProductions
What it does:

It allows you to run modules such as games or system apps that require a FW different from your own. This includes thing such as 3.69 games or 3.51 apps.

How to use:
  1. Add ref00d.skprx path to your taihen config.txt or use Autoplugin to install it. Note for devs: The release version does not work with plugin loader and must be used in taihen config.txt
  2. Make sure that reF00D is installed AFTER NoNpDRM in this config.txt.
  3. Put keys.bin file into ur0:/tai/keys.bin. (keys.bin)
  4. Reboot. Enjoy !
NOTE: rePatch module loading will take priority over reF00D. If a module is in the rePatch folder, it will be loaded first and reF00D will not attempt to decrypt it.

Special thanks:

Team Molecule for feeding the p00r.

To motoharu, aerosoul, TheFloW, xerpi, St4rk, Mathieulh, zecoxao for having reversed a part of the PSVita and made useful tools.

Hello everyone, I need your help. I installed HENkaku Enso 3.65, but I lost all my homebrew bubbles including vitashell. I can not install anything. Is there way to install vitashell via a web page or other.
Thank you for your answer
 
@leklerc First try unlinking your mem card in HENkaku Enso menu, then try to add to vita, if that dos not work do as below

I had same problem last night, you need to get a official Sony sd card, put in vita boot, format. it will ask you to copy internal apps to external (sony sd card). Copy then you will have shell and molecular.

Then you get latest sdtovita (for 3.65) and setup as you would on 3.60, you are then setup with all old apps back.

Tip get a cheap Sony 4GB SD card as its worth the money to recover your stuff in these situations. And web page is for 3.60 only, you have to keep vitashell backed up, internal, external, cmd because you lose a mem card you will have no vita shell and will have to repeat, if you dont copy with vita shell, etc back to internal and no backup your screwed!!
 
Hello Guys,

Ive a question about the henkaku, I read that i can play my homebrew psp and emulator shizzle, but can i also play Vita backups and still use all the PSN abilities?
