[Tutorial] How to prevent your PS vita from auto updating.

Post by Pockets69 »

Ok i have seen a lot of people complaining that their vita updates out of nowhere and therefor they have lost their homebrew, or the chance to get homebrew on their vita, while this is common sense and i thought everyone would do it, i still see people that do not do it, and then they complain... people you need to change the settings in your machine if you don't want it to update by itself.

So here is what you should do
starting from a fresh vita on 3.01 firmware, do the following:
sign into your psn account by going to: settings > PSN > Sign In
- while there, go to automatic update and untick "download update files for applications" (this only applies for ps+)
you can sign out now.
go back to Settings > System > Auto-start settings
- while there go to download update file for system software and untick that as well.
go back to settings and go to Network > Wifi settings > tap on your wifi network and delete it, then untick the wi-fi to turn it off (that way without a remembered network your psvita will never autoconnect to your home network)
to finish everything of back on settings tick flight mode.

DONE there is no way that your vita will update itself, unless you want to.

Just curious, but is the wifi change part necessary, since you already delabeled the need for it to auto update in the earlier steps?

Nope it is not, thats me blocking all the ways the machine could connect and get an update, i listed all the methods because thats how i do it, i am just tired of people blaming the console for their lack of... how should i put it... ability to think...
at least this way the machine won't "update itself" like they claim.

There is no such thing as "auto update".

There is an option for "download automatically a new FW udpate", but that does not install it, it just downloads it.
