Enso ex Installer is a mod of enso CFW by Team Molecule adding several features to it.

Features

  • Compatibility with both fw3.60 and fw3.65.
  • pre-nskernel recovery from a GC-SD device.
  • Easy low-level code exec for custom kernel patches.
  • Ability to keep the original Playstation Boot Logo or use a custom Boot Logo/Animation.
  • SafeBoot system with auto-config-rebuild feature.
  • sd2vita driver (optional).
  • Update blocker (optional).
  • Installer - ability to skip checks (force flash).

Installation

If you currently have enso, make sure that it is either https://github.com/henkaku/enso or https://github.com/TheOfficialFloW/enso.

Install the VPK, run the "enso_ex" app and agree to the "ToS".

If you get an error, reboot the device holding LTRIGGER and try again.

Select "Install/reinstall the hack", press CROSS, the installer will install enso_ex.

All non-critical errors can be skipped by pressing CROSS, it is safe to do so.

Changelog

v5.0

  • Supported firmwares: 3.65 only | types CEX, DEX, TOOL, CFT.
  • Added debug logging.
  • Added proper support for Playstation TV emulation mode on DevKits.
  • Added EMMC recovery and boot toggles.
  • Added basic SD recovery support for Playstation TV.
  • Major rewrite of most critical components.
  • Made the installer safer and faster.
  • Misc tweaks & bug fixes.

v4.5.1

  • Fixed the file loader, it should now detect all sizes properly.
  • Added a check for os0:e2x_ckldr.skprx - it will no longer bootloop if the file is not present.
  • It could anyways be skipped with VOLDOWN.
  • This is the last release for 3.60 bootloaders, all future releases will be 3.65 only.

v4.5

  • Added own base kernel modules loader with support for custom modules.
  • Removed "script" patches, use the new loader with *.skprx modules.
  • Added SD-as-os0 recovery (hold START)
  • Added psp2spl, moved all other lv0-based mods to the spl dir
  • Better, future-proof HFW support
  • Overall stability fixes/patches

v4.1

  • Fixed FNE deadlocks - you can now delete all e2x os0 files safely.
  • If a low-level module fails to load it will be skipped (dex os0 doesn't bootloop anymore).
  • Added BootMgr (pre-psp2bcfg code exec), put the payload in ux0:eex/data/bootmgr.e2xp and sync.
  • Removed default enso SD read redirects (useless), for some reason GCSD FSIO speed improved significantly.

v4.0

  • enso_ex v4 is a new approach compared to v3.
  • Differences vs stock enso:
    • New installer gui.
    • Compatible with both 3.60 and 3.65.
    • Custom "bootlogo" support.
    • Easy low-level kernel patches.
    • Recovery feature that allows to run code at bootloader level from the sd card.
