Encryption is only one side of medal. You need also a magic program (which actually not exist) for reading PS3 file system. Anyway, you need ata key. After getting it, you can update fw for newest OFW and still having access to your data (Sony cannot change this key, of course in business meaning they cannot). And yes, you could still have access to your data after console dead.

For me it's one of the most important discovery on the scene.

Sorry for stupid questions but still I don't understand everything.

To decrypt HDD, you need a binary image of the HDD. you can get it with dd or any hex editor that supports binary disk copying.

For the root_key, just use flatz's package. works perfectly fine with it (outputs eid_root_key to /dev_hdd0/temp folder)

ata/encdec are calculated from keyseeds, which are available on the wiki, or in that program.

for mounting the hdd, use kpartx-ps3, glevand has done the work on the wiki on how to mount it on linux.

edit: "magic program" would be kpartx-ps3 xD

edit2: http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/Mount...artition_Table here you go. i successfully have done this a long time ago, so i know it works

thanks zecoxao

Anyone want to post a spoon-feed step-by-step tutorial on how to get all this working?

(including how to download all the required Linux stuff)

eEID RKDumper [?]

One more thing. You said in readme that I need also an eEID. Can I dump it via Memdump?

Wow, i didn't expected this so fast. This guy is amazing.


Thanks for links. This weekend will by my most beautiful than ever before with PS3. :D

if you want to decrypt the eEID, yes, you need it. you need to rename the name and extension though, if you're planning on using memdump.

edit: also, if anyone's interested into making a gui to do it automatically without command line, that'd be much appreciated from me. i suck terribly at C++ xD

I will try to decrypt my HDD, but is there any way to re-encrypt it? As far as I know this tool doesn't have an option to encrypt

it's possible yes. it's just doing the decryption backwards. i'll try to do it then

while ur at it...can u make a full-noob proof guide for us s*ckers? the wiki is just to short in proper explain for noobs, or atleast for those parts..btldr etc

So from "sectors" file I will get the "sectors_decrypted" file, then I need to remove "sectors" an do the process again, so the tool will encrypt "sectors_decrypted" to "sectors"?
