Unique Device Identifiers manager for PlayStation Vita/TV

This tool allows you to backup or edit the Unique Device Identifiers - ConsoleID and OpenPSID.
The utility is also capable of dumping or flashing the syscon S/NVS that contains configuration data such as QA flags, management flags, boot flags and much more.

Usage

Please keep in mind that this tool is intended for advanced users only; a wrong configuration or program bug can lead to unrecoverable system corruption requiring a motherboard replacement.

Prerequisites

Recommended:

  • The target Playstation Vita/TV console should be running release firmware version 3.65 of type CEX/DEX/TOOL/CFT
  • As a form of recovery the console should have enso_ex v5.0 installed and running

Required:

  • The target Playstation Vita/TV console must be running firmware version between (including) 3.60 and 3.74
  • The console must have the taihenkaku CFW framework installed and running
  • The psp2etoi.vpk app package should be installed via VitaShell

Creating a backup

  • Open the 'psp2etoi' app. After accepting the disclaimer it will perform a selftest
  • Select "Backup the current Unique...". It will create a backup of encrypted ConsoleID and OpenPSID
  • Select "Dump the current device...". It will create a backup of the current device configuration and S/NVS
  • Copy out the backup files from ux0:data/psp2etoi/. Store them in multiple copies on separate storages
    • udi.bin is the ConsoleID and OpenPSID in an encrypted format that can be directly written to idstorage
    • output.cfg is a psp2etoi configuration file containing all data that psp2etoi can modify
    • nvs.bin is a dump of the console's S/NVS

Writing a custom configuration

Creating a custom configuration via psp2etoi

  • Clean the ux0:data/psp2etoi/ directory
  • Place a configuration file as ux0:data/psp2etoi/input.req
    • this configuration will serve as a 'template' for the custom configuration
    • the configuration must have the INPUT tag set to false
  • Open the 'psp2etoi' app. After accepting the disclaimer it will perform a selftest
  • Select "Create a custom...". It will parse the template and generate a matching configuration
  • The custom configuration can be found in ux0:data/psp2etoi/custom_input.cfg

Installing a psp2etoi configuration

  • Clean the ux0:data/psp2etoi/ directory
  • Place the input configuration file as ux0:data/psp2etoi/input.cfg
    • if the configuration requires supplementary files put them there too
    • the input configuration must have the INPUT tag set to true
  • Open the 'psp2etoi' app. After accepting the disclaimer it will perform a selftest
  • Select "Apply a custom...". It will parse the configuration file and show expected changes
  • After confirming that the changes are correct press triangle to write the new configuration
    • a backup configuration file based on the input configuration will be written to backup_input.cfg
  • You should copy out the backup_ files and store them in multiple copies on separate storages
    • They can be used to revert changes made by the input.cfg

Notes

  • It is extremely easy to permanently "brick" your console using this tool
    • a simple mistake such as wrong byte or space in the wrong place can result in a "brick"
  • You should only use this tool having understood how writing the desired configuration data impacts the device
  • You should always double-check the input configuration file as well as the app's parser output before applying
  • Bad ConsoleID type/sub-code should be recoverable with enso_ex v5, provided you have the backed-up udi.bin
