Get Started

Required Reading

Different device versions will require different steps to achieve the end goal of Custom Firmware. This page will help you find where to start for your device.

Select the appropriate page for your version from the chart below. Note that the "from" and "to" fields are inclusive. This means that, for example, the "from 1.03 to 3.73" row includes 1.03, 3.73, and all versions in-between.

Your device version can be found under the System Information menu in the System category of the Settings application.

DANGER

If you bought a second-hand PS Vita or you're unsure whether your console had CFW installed on it beforehand, before doing anything follow Restoring System to restore and format your console.

TIP

Before starting, Windows users should enable the option to show file extensions using File Extensions (Windows)!
