Quick-Remounter is a tool created by AntHJ for the PlayStation Vita, primarily for two purposes:

  • To provide an easy way to remove the YAMT plugin and replace it with the StorageMGR plugin.
  • To serve as a simple storage to UX0 mount tool.

The main reason for creating this tool is to address compatibility issues that some systems, USBs, and SDs may have with the YAMT plugin. In such cases, it is recommended to replace YAMT with StorageMGR to prevent random system crashes after coming out of sleep/standby.

Installation

Install the VPK on your homebrew enabled PS Vita or PS TV.

Alternatively, you can install it via the QR Code.

User guide

Run the tool, and if you have the YAMT plugin, you will see a notice.

Select to continue, and you will be asked which storage device you would like to set as the primary UX0/Boot.

Choose the appropriate storage device (usually X - SD2VITA), and the tool will remove YAMT (if found) and install StorageMGR. The system will then reboot.

  • If you are swapping from YAMT to StorageMGR, you won't notice any differences other than YAMT no longer being present in the device settings.
  • If you are remounting your storage from a previous setup, you should see the database rebuild window.

If you need to manually change your storage allocations, you can use Autoplugin2 (Vita plugins, SD2Vita setup).

FAQ

Q. Why remove/replace YAMT?

If your system is booting your SD/USB with no issues then there is no real reason to remove/replace YAMT with StorageMGR. BUT its know that there are some systems, USBs and SDs that for some reason are NOT fully compatible with the YAMT plugin and its recommended you replace it with StorageMGR.

Noticable symptoms of issues are:

  • System not seeing your storage at all.
  • SD/USB Storage doesnt always boot properly.
  • system randomly crashes after coming out of sleep/standby (this can sometimes be fixed with the FD_Fix plugin).

Q. Will I loose any apps/games?

This app will not delete any apps or games or format your device so if for some reason you find your apps/games have vanished then there are several reasons why this may have happened.

  • Did you select the correct storage device?
  • Are you spoofed to the latest firmware version.
  • Try deleting the ID.DAT on the root of the selected storage.
  • Is your SD card genuine.
  • Was it properly format/setup with data.
  • Is the adaptor/cable/device faulty.
  • Do you have the required plugins such as 0syscall6, NoNpDrm, NoPsmDrm.
  • Plus possibly other factors.
