Hackinformer Your device needs to transform, we are here to inform
Ok everyone there is some big news being let out today from Yifan Lu as he and his team just announced:
HENkaku (変革), the first Homebrew Enabler for the Vita
After the release of Rejuvenate which was mainly ment for developers in the first place (and as you all might have experienced by yourselfs, quite hard to set up) everyone was waiting and hoping for something better and userfriendly. Our waiting has now come to an end! Yifan Lu has set the scene on fire with the announcement of HENkaku, here is what he has to say:
For the last couple of months, molecule (composed of I along with Davee, Proxima, and xyz) have been working hard to bring you an easy-to-use homebrew solution. The result is HENkaku (変革), the first HEN for the Vita. Since the release of Rejuvenate a year ago, developers have created tons of wonderful emulators, games, and apps for the Vita. Unfortunately, Rejuvenate is hard to set up, has many annoying limitations, and supports only an older firmware version.
What is HENkaku?
HENkaku simply lets you install homebrew as bubbles in LiveArea. It is a native hack that disables the filesystem sandbox. It installs molecularShell, a fork of VitaShell that lets you access the memory card over FTP and install homebrew packages (which we create as VPK files). With vita-toolchain, developers have access to the same system features licensed developers have access to as well as undocumented features that licensed developers cannot use (including overclocking the processors).
And what it is not!
It does not let you install or run Vita “backups”, warez, or any pirated content. It does not disable any DRM features. It does not let you decrypt encrypted games. Here’s my stance on this: I do not care one way or the other about piracy. I do not judge people who do pirate. I will not act as the police for pirates. However, I will personally not write any tools that aid in piracy. It is my choice just as it is the pirate’s choice to steal content.
What Homebrews are there to use?

HENkaku will be released public on 07/29/2016 9:00AM UTC at http://henkaku.me/ and it will only support firmware 3.60, so update to be ready. Do not update past 3.60, the current firmware at the time of this writing.

The only thing I’m wondering about before I update, is there a way with this to install TN-V ? If not is there a way to keep my TN-V Intact while updating from 3.50 > 3.60 ?
no and no
As far as I understand, it wont work on 3 18??
:'(
correct
Should I update im on 3.55 and have MGSPO+ exploit installed
and VHBL
No dude u shouldn’t update out of the mgspo. Look what you’ll be loosing and gaining. I learned along time ago not to risk something if it’s working
NO, NO AND NO. He said that the exploit should work on older fw (even if they’re NOT OFFICIALY SUPPORTED) as far as I understood.
Thank you.
no, it only works on 3.60. not higher and not lower
He said someone could port it, but the team will not be working on the other firmware.
Henkaku…
That suggest to make a vukakke xD
With B i know. Just avoiding the anti spam filter
Just reading on their website; from what I have gathered the method this uses is through a webkit exploit in the ps vita’s web browser.
Just the though of being able to use FTPvita to have write access to the pspemu game folder means people should be able to create homebrew bubbles and possibly the ability to install custom themes. But this is just purely speculation, hopefully some could port ppsspp to the vita to allow people to use pro-online (Adhoc over the internet).
I really hope this is worth the hype.
Custom themes yes but ps1 bubbles at the moment as you still need access to kexploit to make them work.
Yifan says writing to app.db and stuff can be done with this https://twitter.com/yifanlu/status/758629195979317248
I’ve lost the use of TNV and other ways to play psp ( which I used to use a lot ) games months ago after I decided I wanted to wait for some games on the PSN store to launch like MS gundam extreme VS force.
so, in this new way, there will be the possibility of play psp games again ?
just asking this because you needed to have a exploit game to use, and now we can intall directly (if this way will really work for this case).
We will have to wait and see what this will open up. but it’s going to be awesome : { )
what if I try to install it on PS Vita firmware 3.18? Will this work or it will fail to install?
it will fail
I have 3.18 what do i do? Is a hard decition 🙁 should i update or not?
What do you think?
stay on 3.18 the hackinformer guide says that is the golden firmware
Just try and see what comes out of it.
I am just sitting here… rocking back and forth. is it time yet?
do it have psp homebrew?
4 hours to go
Is still 9:27 and Release will be in 1 hour, 33 mins, 15 secs.
Is this another scam like vita hdmi mod?
release will be in 30 min no worries its the real deal : { )
If the following is possible on 3.60:
-Henkaku
-TN-V / ARK2
-Custom Themes
I’ll update. If not, I’ll wait a bit.
what will be ready as of lunch is listed above, the rest will come in time but if you miss 3.60 you may just miss it all : { )
manualy you can update your firmware on 3.60 when you want.
Or manually install it but that is really risky. I don’t recommend doing that because there is a big chance that your Vita will get messed up badly.

I have some problem here. I’ve tried “https://henkaku.xyz/usage/” but anything work and for sure I’m a in 3.60 and have a 64gb MC with 200 mb free.
Anyone can help me please?
Pull up Google on your vita first, then go to http://go.henkaku.xyz
I had the same issue, but it worked when I pulled up Google’s site first before directly trying to install HENkaku.
