There are too many people out there with the "i know better than you" attitude & instead of sharing knowledge just shoot people down.

K pointing in the right direction...

1- you can't use the sdk to decrypt retail selfs
2- you can however sign selfs with it, but those are fake signed selfs which don't work on retail machines.
3- to sign those you need to have the keys
4- the keys aren't obviously easy to get otherwise everyone would have.
5- dump the 0x40 of the XDR and bam keys.

just did that, did i make it better? i don't think so, i am sorry but what i said on the first post is the truth, i commend the guy for trying, but if he wants to help, do something that actually makes sense sense...

Also OP don't stay all upset cause i said that won't work, go and do something else, try other routes... but a question did you take a bit of your time to read the www.ps3devwiki.com, you might want to do that first...
