Extraction

The PS VITA update files can be extracted using the "PS VITA Firmware xTractor".

Decryption

To decrypt the files which are unpacked using the tool, the key is available under PS Vita Keys

Structure

The file structure of the Vita's PUP files is almost identical to the PS3's, although there is a slight difference in the header and the hash algorithm. For starters, whereas in PS3 the format was big-endian for the Vita it has been switched to little-endian (probably the same for all Vita formats). Also the Package Version field in Vita pups is set to 2 where in PS3 updates it was set to 1. There is also 0x50 bytes of extra data in the header and the hashes used are of a longer length than in PS3 updates (0x20 bytes in Vita vs 0x14 in PS3)

Header

Offset Length Type Information
0x0 0x8 unsigned long Magic (hex: 0x5343455546000001 ~ ASCII "SCEUF")
0x8 0x8 unsigned long Package Version
0x10 0x8 unsigned long Image Version
0x18 0x8 unsigned long File Count
0x20 0x8 unsigned long Header Length (2048, file data starts from here)
0x28 0x8 unsigned long Package Length (size of PUP file - 8)
0x30 0x50 UNKNOWN UNKNOWN, same for all >V1.0 files so far, maybe something for extra security? (or maybe to break a PS3 which tries to read the update)

File Table

The file table consists of a number of file entries determined by File Count, with the format below (which is the same as the format in PS3 PUP1 files)

Offset Length Type Information
0x0 0x8 unsigned long Entry ID
0x8 0x8 unsigned long Data Offset
0x10 0x8 unsigned long Data Length
0x18 0x8 unsigned long Unknown

Filename IDs

File Entry ID Filename
0x100 ngpversion.txt

Hash Table

The hash table contains a hash entry for every file inside the PUP.

The hash entry format is:

0x0 0x8 unsigned long File Index
0x8 0x20 bytes File Hash (unknown algo?)
0x28 0x18 bytes Unknown

Recovery Menu

  1. Turn OFF your PS Vita (Press Power Button for 10 seconds)
  2. Now press and hold "R" + Power + PS (PlayStation Button)
  3. Wait...
  4. Now you're in Recovery Menu (Mode)

See also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R532NpDMQhw Since 1.51 it seems alot easier to enter recovery menu: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ublLC235QV0 Vpsmenu.jpg

Recovery Menu Options

1. Restart the PS Vita System

This option boots your system as normal without changing any settings or files.

2. Rebuild Database

This can be a usefull feature if you have lost files on your system for no apparent reason. Try using this feature to see if it can restore those files. This will also rewrite corrupted files within the database, potentially eliminating future issues. This feature should not erase any of your saved data or settings.
Deletes messages, playlists, changes made on "Information" screens, trimming information for pictures in "Photo", video thumbnails, video playback history and video resume information. This operation may take a long time depending on the type and number of data items.

3. Format Memory Card

This will format the memorycard, effectively erasing all data currently on it.

4. Restore the PS Vita System

This will restore your system to original including, formatting and erasing all of the data on internal flash and returning all system settings to default. This will not take your system back to a previous Firmware release. Use this option as a last resort, unless you have nothing on the console that you want or you want to erase everything on the console, do not use this option.

5. Update System Software

This can usefull if your system has become corrupted to the point you can not boot. This will allow the user to update their console with new firmware via :

  • PS3
  • PC
  • PS Vita memorycard

Regioning

If simular to PS3, then there is no regioning in the .PUP files, they are the same for all different regions.
The PS Vita however gets the psp2-updatelist.xml from different servers, depening on the region of that model.
