PSVita 3.61 to 3.60 Intentionally Brick carry out

[AlexTCGPro]

Greetings,

Anything new on this?

Nothing, it's hard to understand but it seems OP was unable to do it again after fully updating to 3.61.

Since no one else was able to downgrade their Vita I think we either have to get another one on lower firmware or wait for another exploit. Downgrading is not possible after all.

Hi, friends.
Please can you answer me one questions to continue the investigation from this point.
1. I have a ps vita (3.61), if i try the methot to "upgrade" it to 3.60, with the C1 error, is posible to fix it with a software update...???

i was just messing around with qcma and made some progress. here is what i did in steps:
1. download these files
https://mega.nz/#!yQVACArR!2KK4lNrsPO_g ... cCcGvknq1o
2.add the psp2updat.pup from 3.60/full/ to your qcma update folder as well as a web hosting server on your ip
3.edit your psp2-updatelist.xml so it says this:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<update_data_list>
<region id="us">
    <np level0_system_version="01.600.000" level1_system_version="03.600.000" level2_system_version="03.600.000" map="03.600.000" />
    <np_d level0_system_version="01.600.000" level1_system_version="03.600.000" level2_system_version="03.600.000" map="03.600.000" />
    <version system_version="04.600.000" label="3.60">
      <update_data update_type="full">
        <image size="133676544">*your ip server address here*/3.60/full/PSP2UPDAT.PUP</image>
      </update_data>
    </version>
</region>
</update_data_list>

4.enable flight mode on psvita and select "system update", then select "update by connecting to a pc"
5. it will show the new version screen with "version 3.60" so go through the steps for a normal update
6. the system update will start and then go to an error stating "This system software cannot be used with this system (c1-6562-9)"

if anyone could reproduce this maybe try hex editing the update pup or something. i don't know how hex editing works though. i am sure however if we all band together we can get a working downgrade!

You mean editing it so it says 3.62 or something like that? We tried and it did not work, the importart thing it's the firmware and any attempts to edit it will just corrupt the file and making it unusable.

If you mean you tried everything and want to return your console to normal just delete those files and reboot, that should do it.

been randomly hang now been 3.61 IDU MODE , wanted to repeat the process

Du habe ein psvita dowgrade 3.61 3.60?
ja? nain?

[digitalnoob]

try this: edit the XML and hex to much lower version like 3.51 then using the old way of upgrading vita 3.60 manual update..I hope this works

its forcing the system to recognize that your vita is still in lower version

Still figure how it work.

[Ryouma1st]

can we make backup PSV 3.60 and then restore it on PSV 3.61 ?

Has anyone maybe thought of trying to brick 3.63 maybe allowing older firmware to be installed.
