All of us have been in this boat once or twice, where you format your PSVita back to stock and forget that you can’t activate it or you will have to update. If you are lucky and have a PS3 on hand you can reactivate it but for most people, they don’t, so they can’t use any of their backed up content. So you either have two options stay on lower FW with no content or just update so you can play your games again.
Well, Developer vita-activator and it does just like it says, it activates your PSVita. Also, you will have to compile it and make the VPK so you can install it on HENkaku.
You can check out vita-activator here….
If you happen to give it a try, let us know if it worked for you in the comments below..
Update: Seems that I missed the vpk file or the GitHub got updated since this morning, but I probably just missed it.
Downloads
why compile it? it has already a vpk files in release section!
and yes it works great ;D
Either it wasn’t here when I wrote this or I just missed it, but it’s bee updated..
Thanks but how it work ?
I added the vpk.. just download it and install it with HENkaku. Then run the app, that’s it.
I have updated it since this post so it might be worth changing the url of the download to the newest version although this will just be outdated so I’d recommend linking to https://github.com/ZombieWizzard/vita-activator/releases/latest
Thanks for the update and will just link to the GitHub.. Awesome job, this will definitely be one of the most useful apps imp.
You linked to what https://github.com/ZombieWizzard/vita-activator/releases/latest redirected to (easy to do if you didn’t double check) so it won’t point to the latest release when I add a new release. And thanks
i have install and running it but vita-activator said i must insert psn id and password… how can i insert it? thanx
Go into safe mode.. and pick option 4 and follow the sets and it will not ask you to update.
Ok… I already choose no.4 in safe mode, follow the instructions to insert my psn ID correctly then i run a vita-activator… It ain’t ask user and pass anymore but it said that “Activation data failed to download” Please check these details are correct…
u have to restart the vita and it should let u play all ur games once again.
