Post by jvabbdac »

My Ps Vita its from US! AT 3G, I thinking if I update using Hong Kong firmware I will "unlock" 3G system (Vita from HK has 3G unlocked)

Somehow I highly doubt firmware is region specific or that it would affect 3G in any way.

But that's what makes the SONY is illegal in my country, here in Brazil all communication equipment with telephony networks SHOULD be free, except devices that are sold in monthly quota, however, they are sold locked but can be unlocked if the customer's want! :D
Is firmware we are talking about, if hardware can be sure that in a way would VHBL :twisted:

@hugguito Its only against the law if you use a brazillian device! Vita its imported (3g).

Edit: I check, its not possible to get a system update downloading the firmware, but I will try creating a account on HK, new user on my ps3 and try get it! New firmware I will try it!

I'm sure the basebands are different. I have heard many people say the "issues" of locking up only seem to occure on their versions with 3G, makes me wonder about that payload.

Indeed, you would need to change base bands and not firmwares, although firmware updates can update the baseband.
