Vita-idu is an application that allows you to set/clear the Demo mode for your HENkaku-enabled PS Vita.
Note: If you do not know what you are doing you will irrecoverably damage your console, format your your memory card, and update to 3.61, while being locked in the IDU mode.
User guide
This application allows you to convert between Retail mode and Demo mode. It should be functionally equivalent to the "CEX to IDU Utility" game cart.
The Demo mode of the PS Vita gives you access to more options, in particular the Package Installer.
The Package Installer can be used to install DRM Free official Vita apps (such as DRM free Demos, or apps like Netflix, etc...)
Please do not use this homebrew (and Demo mode) unless you know what you're doing, your PS Vita could potentially automatically upgrade the FW if you're connected to WiFi.
Handle with care
Several people are reporting that the Demo mode of the PS Vita automatically updates on boots, so handle carefully, and make sure your WiFi is turned off whenever you reboot the PS Vita in Demo mode.
Some people have reported semi-bricks with this tool, although other trusted sources have confirmed this works as expected and lets you switch between Demo and Retail mode easily (R+L+Up+Start).
Hackinformer are reporting that the IDU mode works fine on PS TV as well.
