Well known console developer and hacker Andy Nguyen @theflow0 has released an old project of his for the PS Vita a "WebKit+Kernel exploit chain for all PS Vita firmwares" the exploit works, but the developer never made into a full jailbreak as there really has never been a need. Its just another solution to have around but the most useful part may just be the research for others at this moment. The hacker has made a few comments about the release as we have attached below the quotes and related links to the project.
This release is more for the development and developer's who wish to learn more as we already have solutions for the PS Vita and PSTV but the developer does hope to see someone pick up the project and make a full jailbreak out of it. As the developer states it could be a great learning experience for some to finish the project.
While the project is not a need another solution would be welcomed.

- Late christmas present: https://github.com/TheOfficialFloW/HENlo WebKit+Kernel exploit chain for all PS Vita firmwares. This is a WIP from 3 years ago that I never finished (exploit is fully working, but hasn't been turned into a jailbreak yet).full jailbreak.
- This uses qwertyoruiopz's WebKit exploit for FW 4.0x on the PS4 and two kernel bugs of mine: a heap info leak in sceNetSyscallControl and an integer overflow leading to heap overflow in sceNetSyscallGetIfList.

My hope is that someone will pick this project up and create a jailbreak that works on all firmwares between 3.60-3.74

This is a good learning opportunity if you want to gain experiences in OS internals and kernel exploitation
that's how I got into Google
