'''PS Vita Recovery Menu''' is a diagnostic and recovery environment for the PlayStation Vita running custom firmware (HENkaku, h-encore, h-encore2, or Ensō). It provides a comprehensive toolkit for plugin management, system diagnostics, storage repair, and unbricking, accessible by holding the R trigger at power-on to boot directly into the recovery environment.
PS Vita Recovery Menu is a custom recovery environment for the PlayStation Vita running custom firmware (HENkaku, h-encore, h-encore2, or Enso). Hold R at power-on to boot directly into the recovery menu. Provides a complete toolkit for plugin management, system diagnostics, unbricking, storage repair, CPU control, and more.


== Description ==
'''Warning:''' This tool cannot recover a fully hard-bricked PS Vita. It is intended for experienced PS Vita CFW users who understand the risks. Certain operations including modifying system partitions, deleting core system files, resetting the tai configuration, or applying unsafe plugin configurations, can result in a soft brick or, in worst-case scenarios, a hard brick.
 
PS Vita Recovery Menu is a homebrew application created by DrinkingSubset (Jose) as a custom recovery environment for PlayStation Vita systems running custom firmware. The application can be launched either as a standard homebrew bubble from LiveArea or triggered at boot by holding the R button, launching automatically before the Vita's standard shell fully initialises.
 
The tool is designed to assist with software-level issues on PS Vita systems. It can help recover from corrupted or misconfigured <code>config.txt</code> files, plugin conflicts causing boot loops, broken LiveArea databases, misconfigured storage mount points, and general CFW misconfigurations.

== How the R-trigger boot system works ==
The boot recovery system uses two separate plugins that work together:
 
* <code>boot_recovery.skprx</code> - kernel plugin, loaded under <code>*KERNEL</code>
* <code>boot_trigger.suprx</code> - user plugin, loaded under <code>*main</code>
 
At power-on, <code>boot_recovery.skprx</code> loads first as a kernel plugin and spawns a thread that waits for the controller driver to initialise. If the R trigger is held, it writes a flag file (<code>ur0:tai/recovery_boot_trigger</code>); otherwise it exits cleanly with zero overhead on normal boot. Once SceShell and LiveArea start, <code>boot_trigger.suprx</code> loads inside the SceShell process, checks for the flag file, deletes it, and then calls <code>sceAppMgrLaunchAppByUri</code> to launch the recovery menu application.
 
The two-plugin design is required because <code>sceAppMgrLaunchAppByUri</code> can only be called from within the SceShell process - it cannot be invoked from kernel space or before the shell has initialised.


== Compatibility ==
== Known issues ==
* PS Vita 2000 model detection shows incorrect model name in System Info - under investigation.
* Boot recovery does not work on h-encore2 (3.74) without Enso, because the kernel hook requires taiHEN to load at coldboot. Normal bubble launch works fine on all firmware versions.


Requires a jailbroken PS Vita running HENkaku, h-encore, h-encore2, or Ensō on firmware 3.60–3.74.

PS Vita Recovery Menu is a custom recovery environment for the PlayStation Vita running custom firmware (HENkaku, h-encore, h-encore2, or Enso). Hold R at power-on to boot directly into the recovery menu. Provides a complete toolkit for plugin management, system diagnostics, unbricking, storage repair, CPU control, and more.

Warning: This tool cannot recover a fully hard-bricked PS Vita. It is intended for experienced PS Vita CFW users who understand the risks. Certain operations including modifying system partitions, deleting core system files, resetting the tai configuration, or applying unsafe plugin configurations, can result in a soft brick or, in worst-case scenarios, a hard brick.

  • Config backed up before every install/uninstall operation
  • Atomic config writes (.tmp ? rename) prevent corruption on power loss
  • L-trigger at boot triggers safe mode - disables non-essential plugins before menu opens

Installation

Recommendations before use:

  • Always back up ux0:tai/config.txt and ur0:tai/config.txt before making any changes.
  • Use the "Backup tai/" function under Restore / Unbrick before proceeding with any repair operation.
  • Test changes on one device before applying to others.
  • If unsure about an operation, do not proceed.

Instructions:

  • Download the latest VitaRecovery.vpk from the Releases page.
  • Install via VitaShell.
  • Launch the app once from LiveArea (bubble will appear as Title ID RECM00001).
  • Go to "Boot Recovery Installer" > "Install Boot Recovery".
    • Copies boot_recovery.skprx and boot_trigger.suprx to your active tai directory.
    • Inserts both entries into ur0:tai/config.txt (or your active config).
    • A backup of your config is automatically created.
  • Reboot holding R to enter the recovery menu.

How the R-trigger boot system works

The boot recovery system uses two separate plugins that work together:

  • boot_recovery.skprx - kernel plugin, loaded under *KERNEL
  • boot_trigger.suprx - user plugin, loaded under *main

At power-on, boot_recovery.skprx loads first as a kernel plugin and spawns a thread that waits for the controller driver to initialise. If the R trigger is held, it writes a flag file (ur0:tai/recovery_boot_trigger); otherwise it exits cleanly with zero overhead on normal boot. Once SceShell and LiveArea start, boot_trigger.suprx loads inside the SceShell process, checks for the flag file, deletes it, and then calls sceAppMgrLaunchAppByUri to launch the recovery menu application.

The two-plugin design is required because sceAppMgrLaunchAppByUri can only be called from within the SceShell process - it cannot be invoked from kernel space or before the shell has initialised.

Known issues

  • PS Vita 2000 model detection shows incorrect model name in System Info - under investigation.
  • Boot recovery does not work on h-encore2 (3.74) without Enso, because the kernel hook requires taiHEN to load at coldboot. Normal bubble launch works fine on all firmware versions.
