nah, you need to encrypt it back. hold on a sec, i'll upload my newest commit to github, i've just added hdd encryption. MAKE SURE YOU TEST IT! (i've tested with a zeroed sample but i need testers to see if it actually works).

To test:

compare md5sum(or sha1) hash of sectors to sectors_encrypted. if it matches, you can use it safely .

edit: ok , just added, feel free to test it.

Thank you, I'm going to try this as soon as possible (I'm making a raw copy of my hdd with dd right now )

Edit: @zecoxao
When I select option 1 (decrypt HDD) the tool give me my keys (ATA DATA, ATA TWEAK, ENCDEC DATA, ENCDEC TWEAK) but generates a null (0 byte) sectors_decrypted file.

My "sectors" file is the full HDD dump (80GB) from a slim ps3, should I split it in sectors (512 byte)?
However the eid decryption is working fine.
Thank you again

Edit 2: with a single sector (512 byte) as "sectors" file, I got "Segmentation fault (core dump created).".
The tool compiles fine so I don't think I miss some dependences.. And I'm on Ubuntu 12.10.

it does that error again? weird... i thought i have fixed it... let me test it here

edit: ok, here's what i want you to do (here it works fine):

-delete the repository you cloned and clone it again;
-recompile and retest again;
-if that doesn't work, MAKE SURE the image size is multiple of 0x200 bytes, or else it'll give you an error

Tried with 1kb file (firsts 1000 bytes should be the partition table) and it seems to work but I didn't get the decrypted file..

decrypted file is sectors_decrypted. next you need to mount it with kpartx-ps3 :D

Yes but it didn't decrypt the file, check the md5 hashes, they are the same.

Hdd decrypted and mounted on Linux virtual machine!

As root is fully readable so we can backup everything from a broken PS3 (with eid_root_key)

Big thanks to zecoxao for his help!

[zecoxao]

just a warning for those testing HDD decryption with my app: it DOES work, BUT you need a fast pc for this (and with lots of RAM too) to decrypt small/medium sized disks

Noob tutorial please!

When you have your eid_root_key, put it in the data folder and run the tool with option one (1) to decrypt the hdd (don't remove the sectors file from data). The tool will give you your HDD keys on the screen.

Then you can follow this.

To write on the GameOS partition you have to recompile your kernel with ufs write support, this may be dangerous and cause data loss, so first you should try with a raw image of the decrypted hdd.

This is a kernel with ufs write support ready for Ubuntu 12.10 x86

linux-image-3.5.7.2-ufs-write_3.5.7.2-ufs-write-10.00.Custom_i386.deb (41.8 MB)

Edit: I've got problems restoring an HDD image to my HDD from PC:

dd if=./dec_ps3hdd.img of=/dev/mapper/dec_ps3hdd

A few seconds after execute the command the whole system get blocked.
Actually I'm restoring the image from glevand's debianlive distro, that mount the hdd decrypted.
