REMOVING THE HENKAKU / ENSO ON THE PS VITA ~ BACK TO STOCK FW

[@FatherJosephofMomma]

This video was perfectly what I needed. I had hacked my Vita a few years back and decided to jump back into everything, but I have forgotten what all I have done and needed to start fresh.

[@shahtayyib]

Same here

[@shivasethia4524]

Same here… pulled out my vita today from attic..

[@TROLGED]

Same here, I stopped once I learned you had to do a bunch of computer work, and I didnt really want to do any of that. This was a while ago so I didnt know much about this kind of stuff, but now i wanna jump back in and retry

[@sum16kwt]

Thanks! Henkaku was definitely not for me so I decided to uninstall it thanks to you it was very simple and fast. Henkaku was more confusing than I thought, so yeah. as of 3ds, I followed almost every video of yours about 3ds homebrew and I'll stick with that handheld... and one last thing, this channel is the only channel I trust with homebrewing.

This is amazing! Thanks man! After 10 years I am just about to sell my PSVita and in case I did something wrong, I want the next person to choose how they want their Vita to be, this is great!

Thank you.

Thank you very much for this tutorial You're really helping the VITA community

[@kyosuke7539]

thank you it works, subscribed and liked, my vita had dead sd2vita adapter and 128GB sd card, i formatted both my 4gb and 8gb sony memory cards and wasnt able to do anything as the hencore2 and vitadeploy apps were gone. thank you so much man :D I hate fixing this POS vita as its a effing nightmare.

[@stamford_9570]

Thank you for helping me. Finally I removed henkaku and bring back the original software of PS Vita. I am happy😊

[@ironic17]

Thanks man, seriously thanks. My vita was acting strange since I hacked it and it felt necessary to abort. The cfw apps are cool but I don’t think it’s worth killing my vita over.

[@burikalex]

Omg thanks 🎉 this video helped me a lot since my memory cared stoped working I dint know how to delete henkaku. Now I can start a clean jailbreak.

[@goodbye-r6h]

You don’t need to restore this system to delete all of the jailbroken apps, you can format the memory card to delete all of them, and you need to if your PSN store doesn’t work, I did that and it worked, I’m not blaming on you, I’m just giving a tip, and also if your PS Vita is stuck loading to turn off, hold the power button and it will take you to the safe mode, restore this system, and delete the remaining apps, or you can format the memory card to delete all jailbroken data and reinstalls system files, “WARNING, IF YOU RESET THIS SYSTEM IN THE SAFE MODE, YOU NEED TO FORMAT THE MEMORY CARD MANUALLY” and don’t forget to update the system, but still, thanks for helping me remove the hack, I appreciate your help 😊

Hey, I'm a bit confused about disabling Version Spoofing. On the video, before you did an update, the FW version is 3.65 (1:29), and after you did an update, FW version went to 3.73 (3:16). Can you enlighten me about Disable Version Spoofing? You mentioned it is a firmware update blocker. But why does the update went through? What I would like to do is to update my Firmware for the sake of removing the entire hacks and factory reset my PS Vita. But I would like to stay with my Vita current Firmware version (which is 3.60) Thank you sir!

[@sthetixofficial]

u can update to the latest version to remove the hack completely. 3.73 is the latest version

What is the use of removing this is there new stuff to play? Is there any use of coming off Henkaku Enso onto the new CFW?

No there isn't. The only reason why you might want to do this is that you may have bought the console pre-hacked and would like to learn how to hack it yourself. Other than that there is no other reason. Pre-hacked Vitas (especially 1000 models) usually sell for more than stock ones anyway.
