[OLD] How to Easily Install HENkaku on PS Vita & PSTV with VitaDeploy on Firmware 3.74!

The PS Vita is an awesome handheld worth revisiting, but what truly unlocks the greatness of this console is the power of homebrew. This tutorial will go through the process of taking any PlayStation Vita console on firmware 3.74 and modifying it with h-encore² with the goal of launching third party homebrew, games, applications, and more. This also goes through the process of downgrading to the more compatible 3.60/3.65 firmwares with the awesome coldbooting HENkaku Ensō! All of this is made infinitely easier thanks to VitaDeploy, and at the end we also cover HENkaku settings as well as future plugin setup with AutoPlugin.

The end-goal here being a successfully downgraded, coldbooting, modified Vita with a few starter plugins as well as pieces of homebrew to create a solid foundation for using the Vita. All the heavy lifting of the modification process itself is covered here while further recommendations and improvements are available in additional videos. Be sure to look in the "Additional Vita Videos" section of this description for more!

Despite this video being recorded and performed on firmware 3.73, the same software and methods will work on 3.74! The title and description have been updated to reflect this is working for 3.74, and a direct link to a 3.74 compatible FinalHE has been updated.

As HENlo has succeeded h-encore, the latest method to install HENkaku can be found here:
