S3phy Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 As you may know, Henkaku requires firmware 3.60 to work. To counter this, $ony has released firmware 3.61 which patches Henkaku. Updating over network will put to to the latest firmware 3.61, so if you want to install 3.60, you'll have to do it a bit different way. With QCMA, we can fake the PS Vita to think that 3.60 is the latest and that way install 3.60 firmware. Requirements for installing 3.60 are: 1. QCMA installed ( This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up ) 2. Firmware 3.60 file This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up 3. Vita with firmware under 3.60 4. Modified psp2-updatelist.xml for your region Make sure the version says 3.60. [/b] 9. Install the update. After the installation you'll be in 3.60, and are ready to install Henkaku This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leslie2007 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Does it matter if you are either on Phat or Slim version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S3phy Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 Does it matter if you are either on Phat or Slim version? No. This method will work for 1000 and 2000 series. However, this does not work for PSTV, as it cannot be connected to PC over QCMA. So works for PS Vita, but not for PSTV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fmj77 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I was only able to update my Vita from 3.51 to 3.60 FW using recovery/safe mode. It would not recognize the update otherwise. Hope this helps anyone who is having trouble updating with QCMA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S3phy Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 Suggestion: Please include video tutorial or screenshots.. #TutorialForDummies Wish I could. I have updated both of my PS Vitas to 3.60 already. I tried to make this a simple guide, but it is kind of hard to simplify this with only text.
