Hackinformer Your device needs to transform, we are here to inform
We all knew this would happen sooner or later. Actually it’s been quite some time since when the last firmware update since 3.52. The new update is titled 3.55 and now its more than obvious that sony doesn’t care about the vita anymore. This update brings no new features but a lot of system stability..
The scene’s Christmas present came early this year and we all are enjoying the cool tricks released by Mr.Gas and Major_Tom a week ago. The more it saddens me to tell you that the just released firmware update 3.55 “Battousai” patches all this fun stuff already. However, Major_Tom predicted that earlier and it was the main reason for this release but now we have the truth..
Fact is the Fail-Mail tricks are patched on 3.55 and up. DO NOT UPDATE!
After being updated, it is impossible to dump using e-mail. Link is not responding. pic.twitter.com/AQaMN9HZZs

Because all the cool tricks are depending on dumping and writing files to the Vita’s filesystem via the e-mail app, we are once again locked out with the newest firmware, BUT there is a shimmer of light. The modifications themselves are not patched and if you updated by accident, the installed the PKG installer bubble via app.db manually, creating a complete Vita backup will store the modification with it. So you theoretically can still make use of some of the tricks by rewriting a backup to your 3.55 device.
But that’s not all
As it seems more PSP usermode exploits got patched as you can see in the tweet below:

So the cat and mouse game still goes on.. and the statement ‘Sony doesn’t care about the Vita anymore‘ is an issue of dispute.
What about qwikrazor’s bubbles and kxploit?
They still work and the release will be very very soon. So stay tuned and once again..
DO NOT UPDATE
if you’re looking to fully hack your Vita system one day. Rejuvenate is and most likely will be the best option you have for long time.
If you are on 3.52 -> do not update
If you are on 3.50/1 -> do not update at all
If you are on 3.30/5/6 -> do not update at all
If you are on 3.18/20 -> Stay as this is the best Firmware
If you are on any Firmware below, manually update to 3.18 if you like!
Can I still access PSN on 3.52?
Yes, you can! However, for a limited time only.

Ok so this was what mr Tom and gas was waiting for to see if the trick works on the new update,now what? are we still going to get the huge hacking package? Im sure it’s done
I’m trying the vita blocker update, but after I click on it to start, the window open but close after two second 🙁
if I install tn-v ark and hbl will they still work if i update to 3.55 from 3.52?
What a shame. Guess I’ll never play multiplayer anything on my PSTV ever again, maybe never even buy anything off the PSN store. What a joke. It’s truly sad what Sony will do to make sure people can’t play all of its Vita games on the PSTV.
Have no choice but to update in order to download “Citizens of Earth” off PSN. I already own a PSP with cfw, and I wouldn’t waste any money on a ps3, so I’m SOL (sorry out of luck). Like the majority of vita owners anyway.
Fug, ps vita already downloaded the update. Luckily it’s not installed but it knows. I tried using qcma to move the new ark save bubble exploit thing over but it said I needed to update. I uninstalled qcma, installed normal cma, then open cma, reset the driver and started all over again, but still nothing, needs an update. What do?
If you check the notification window(upper right blue circle), there is an option to delete the downloaded update. Do that and you can then use the exploit.

I just bought a PSVita and it updated to 3.55.
Then I googled how to run NES/SNES/DS games, and then read this article.
Is there a way I can install an emulator to run NES/SNES/DS games on PS VITA 3.55?
who can teach me how to downgrade my ps vita system which is in 3.55 firmware
You can’t downgrade or we would all be doing it.
thank you
grand merci a vous
I updated and now none of my daughters games play properly, Sony is claiming that is liquid damage but worked fine until upgrade! I am opening a lawsuit
Yeah, that is still one bad thing about updating any device as it could fail in the process and don’t know how to fix itself without factory work done on it. So that’s any device and sorry to hear about it like this, but good luck with it and everything.
