    OK so delete the molecular shell bubble then in the browser go to beta.henkaku.xyz
    That should install taiHEN, as long as the kit is on 3.60 it should work as I use it on mine to great affect.

    BTW when you got that kit did you get any of the SDK for it?

    That is what I'm trying to after I got the error message :(

    Still the same, it stuck on the first step which is the brower leave an blank page and then crash, only henkaku works but can't run any software or games.
    Btw, I only get a console and a prototype power supply, nothing else.

    Prototype power supply? as long as it outputs 5V 2A it should be OK.
    IDK why it wont work, I have had people tell me the same thing about PTEL's not working with henkaku but I run my PDEL just fine :/

    Very odd indeed.

    For things to work on your kit while expired you must change a byte in the eboot to make the application work, which is not easy if you now lost access to activation.

    You can still develop stuff, but now you have a lot more problems to deal with to make it work.

    Reboot the system, open the web browser, immediately go to taihen NOT henkaku, and it should work.

    Whoever told you it wont work on testkits has no idea what theyre doing because I even used it on my kit

    I have never edited any eboots pix :/
    So is mine just some magical unicorn of a kit that defies the laws of reality or what?

    Yes for the time being
    No because i cant be sure until I have it :^)

    @Jerry Yin I will buy it right now just because I'm worried anything else you do will damage it more

    It has a stiker on it and shows"prototype" and "not for sale" and it looks like the same with my PSP power supply.

    Maybe I can try to ask for a active key and try to reactive, or try some tricks to bypass the activation.

    The tricks to bypass it afaik are not public yet (in the sense of PS4 where many people have it activated). RIght now your best option is new activation key - which I'm sure your friend will not be able to get depending on the circumstances, or wait longer and hope the method to activate is more public and more reliable

    The problem there is the couple tricks that are known don't exactly work all the time so we kinda had hopped to study yours to figure something out as you don't see activated kits very often.
    In my case I use taiHENkaku and it enables all functionality, well nearly all since I can't run retail carts but game dumps run fine.

    Good luck and I actually documented my tear down so I could have just given you the pics if you wanted to see the insides of the kit :p

    I expect nothing to happen

    I really doubt you will find a way around this.

    I spent months with someone working on a testkit to get it activated
    You will not find a way around this unless you get a special case like Fate6, or if some groundbreaking method appears.
