yeah it works for sure the problem is how you use that ^^ ps3 does not have terminal... Not as far as i know... Linux has terminal, but to install it you need CFW... Get what i mean? yet i am not good with software side of PS3 so i would suggest asking someone else, possibly a dev : )

what Im saying is this:

can you..

*plug my ps3 hdd into pc via sata
*run the cmd in terminal on linux
(ex: -sh ps3dm_sm set_del_def_encdec_key A:\\)
A obviously being my ps3 HDD
*disable the ps3 encryption
*open UFS2 filesystem with UFS Viewer

??

the ps3 should now be in a folder format.
Like on a pc, or mac, and all the files editable.

I'd ask a dev but they never reply

Oh dont they? heh... im going to have to install linux to try this but i have way too much infomation on my hard disk, but im sure some other devs will be more than happy to help

i don't think so, i believe that's a command that will only work if used on the console itself, because only the console has got the keys to decrypt the hdd... You can try it tho : ) just try typing the command on a linux distro, if it says you should view help then it has the command... If it just says it does not recognize that command then it needs to be ran on the console, but as you are on 3.72 you'd need to downgrade

well im sure if you have grafs files need, and determined the output location it might work.

only problem im thinking of would be the keys are on the ps3.

we need a dev in here now

his files are for the ps3/linux not pc/laptop/linux . you can try what u like but for fact you will not be able to look at the files system unless you have got a ps3 on cfw , if it was that simple what your trying . the ps3 would of had cfw the day it got relesed ,

can i ask what are you trying to do aprt from look at the files system . i mean as what do u want to do to the files system aprt from looking at it

mainly 2 reasons for this:

1: put new patches on for my games (such as mw2/cod4)
2: Use my HDD in any ps3 without re-format


is there another way to disable hdd encryption without cfw? or even a path to lead to it?

there is no other way , only with a ps3 on cfw and if you want to put patches of games to a ofw ps3 , u also will need a cfw ps3 too . so u can do a data transver .

I know already.

but here is my reasoning...
You can view file system (UFS2) after the ps3 hdd is decrypted

with grafs cmd, it will perminantly disable hdd encryption.
therefore all files after that would be raw, and not encrypted.

therefore when you plug your hdd into your pc via sata cable you can just view files normal as you would a flashdrive, or external hdd.

the only problem I see with this is that you'd need the keys to actually run the cmd's on the ps3's HDD...

but to use grafs tools you got to be on cfw lets say with my cfw ps3 i disable the encrption then i used my pc to view the raw data then i edit with games patchs then once i done that . i put it in to my 3.73 ofw ps3 and bang the ps3 wont accept it becuse that ps3 wont reconize it . so the ps3 will just format it .
