As the PS Vita Community knows hacker/developer TheFlow had discovered a new vulnerability for jailbreaking the PS Vita / PlayStation TV (Vita TV). The developer had planned for a much later releases since the Vita seems to be nearing the end of its life cycle and since official support could cease down the road. The idea being it was better to hold on to this exploit saving it until Sony officially pulled the plug on the device(s). However, since that time another exploit was found and thus this exploit (the first one) has moved up the release date to a new date of >> July 1 2018.
With firmware's 3.65-.3.68 there will be a new window to install the HENkaku hack which is a HEN (Homebrew Enabler), But if your on 3.65 firmware you can even take it a step farther by having the ability to install Enso (the CFW framework), With this soon to be released methodTheFlow is saying you will need a Memory Card(see update), as no other storage medium including the system's internal storage will not work.
UPDATE - July 1st: h-encore released by TheFloW

- The definite release date of the jailbreak is now: 1. July 2018. It will support firmware's 3.65-3.68, where on 3.65 you'll have the ability to install Enso [cfw framework] .
And most important: the new exploit chain REQUIRES you to have a Memory Card (no Internal Storage cannot be used) A Memory Card is required to launch the exploit, but of course you'll be able to use SD2VITA after the hack is installed. - UPDATE (New) Nevermind about Memory Card, it will also work on Internal Storage! WebKit is not the entry point this time. Therefore it can even be used offline and best is: it is super fast. Stay tuned.

Since I get asked daily if it is safe to update:
- if you're on 3.61-3.63, you can update to 3.65 (latest fw that can run enso)
- if you're on 3.67, you can also update to 3.68, there's no big difference
-
Firmware Updater
Installs any official firmware that is higher or same as your current. Note that this will remove HENkaku and enso. Do not install to a firmware past 3.68
- Download fwupdater.vpk and install it using VitaShell.
- Download any PUP firmware and place it at ux0:app/FWUPDATER/PSP2UPDAT.PUP .
- Launch the application and follow the instructions on screen.
