Re-activate your test/dev kit Vita after it expires.
Only works if you have your activation files still tm0:activate/act.dat & tm0:activate/actsig.dat & 0x520 in NVS.
User guide
Also due to a restriction in the firmware (probably added in 3.55) the SecureTick cannot be set to any date before 1/1/2015, so you will get error code 0x80251000 if your start activation date is before this time (this doesn't matter on devkit, only a minor annoyance on soft resets).
Upon running activate.vpk your activation data will be backed up to pd0:/data/ and ux0:/data/ it's highly recommended to make a copy on your PC as well.
pd0:data/ because its read-only and it remains even after updating or reinstalling the firmware, basically it would be difficult to accidently delete them.
Also, normal HENkaku doesn't work if your system is activated, (it assumes it's already installed) you can use the modified version which is hosted at http://vitatricks.tk/henkek.
Notes: If you used this before on 1.1 or lower it is highly recommended running it again on 1.2+, as it backup the activation token in NVS as well now, which is required for a proper restore of activation data (if you are missing NVS data but still have act.dat and actsig.dat- you can generate the NVS data with act-gen-nvs).
