Couldn't this potentially be used to inject files onto the HDD? NOR consoles have a part of their firmware on the HDD, so perhaps we could modify it and make a CFW? Though that probably would not work...

I know somebody said this before but it hasn't been confirmed. Could we do this on a 4.21 PS3?

lets wait what the devs can do with it

No, or at least not yet. This requires consoles keys and you can those pretty much solely through first being on CFW.

Encdec, the chip that encrypts the HDD among other things on the PS3 was pwned by glevland, so 4.21 consoles may become susceptible to this too.

just a quick question here if we obtain our hdd keys and then update to a newer fw would we still with the keys we extracted have access to our hdd?

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the PCK0 the one key that decrypts and encrypts the HDD, as it is different for every PS3 ?

This is what it sounds like. You need the per console key to decrypt the HDD. This is also why it might be a tad difficult to do it, if not impossible, on console above 3.55. Well, for average Joe Blow.

If you were on cfw, then you get that key, would it still work if you upgraded to 4.21 from there, or will the upgrade change the HDD keys?

Per console key. It is constant and unchanging, just like the name implies. Once you have it, you have it no matter what the firmware is. PCK cannot be updated by sony.
