Hybrid Firmware toolset for Playstation Vita
psp2hfw a set of tools and guides for running a hybrid firmware (HFW) on the Playstation Vita console.
 
It utilise of 0syscall6 and enso_ex which patched syscall 6 of Vita lv0 secure kernel. 0syscall6 makes it possible to do things that normal Vita cannot do. And by modifying the boot loader level to read the OS,
 
*vs0 - Storage location for OS data such as system apps and main shell.
*os0 - Location for main OS files including kernel libraries, user libraries, etc.
 
you will be able to run the data there without checks, making it possible to boot a different firmware than the one originally specified by the bootloader.
 
Due to the risk of modifying os0, GC-SD adapter should be available for recovery as a preliminary preparation.

It utilise of 0syscall6 and enso_ex which patched syscall 6 of Vita lv0 secure kernel. 0syscall6 makes it possible to do things that normal Vita cannot do. And by modifying the boot loader level to read the OS,

  • vs0 - Storage location for OS data such as system apps and main shell.
  • os0 - Location for main OS files including kernel libraries, user libraries, etc.

you will be able to run the data there without checks, making it possible to boot a different firmware than the one originally specified by the bootloader.

Due to the risk of modifying os0, GC-SD adapter should be available for recovery as a preliminary preparation.
