I have a decrypted PS3 HD just sitting here and nobody seems to be able to help me get it mounted and read.

Well... that’s what you believe that you have done, can you please paste all the steps you have done so far and which files are available? That way we can find out if what you did makes sense.

I’m just trying to help you to find the answer.

I don't think you have the decrypted image.. Try this post the output:

hexdump -C yourimagename.img | head -12

I'm starting over with a new HD dump to be sure, some questions:

1. Does the image need to be name anything specific for when I run ./decrypt tool?
2. I just put it in the /data folder and run ./decrypt_tool from the /ps3_decrypt_tools DIR? Or

do I need to specify where the IMG is so ./decrypt_tools /data/dec_ps3hdd.img?

The image must be called "sectors" with no extension in data folder.
As I said before, for me the tool didn't work with the full dump so you should split the file and join the decrypted parts to get a full decrypted dump.

Hi Sguerrini,

Thanks for being so patient with me and helping out. I will split the file and report back as soon as the new dump is complete.

Would be something like this right?

Rename dec_ps3hdd.img to sectors

split -b 2147483648 sectors

ok so I got the HD split into 2GB chunks. When I run ./decrypt_tools it creates a file called selectors_decrypted but it's 0 bytes?

Is this right:

/media/bob/New/ps3_decrypt_tools/
./decrypt_tools
Choose option 1. (decrypt HD)

with 2GB splits i had an error..must be m mistake or some..then with "200mb" parts it decrypted fine each part..i'm about todo a 80GB but it took way to long with 200mb parts... the "program" works great..its the users

Ok it seemed to work with 1GB chunks! 2GB was outputting nothing. I now have a 1GB sectors_decrypted file!

what should I be looking for when I run

hexdump -C sectors_decrypted | head -12

?

Still looks like a bunch of random data. Should there be some header in English or something?

also tried to mount but get this:

root@ubuntu:/media/bob/New/ps3_decrypt_tools/data# mount -t ufs -o ufstype=ufs2,ro sectors_decrypted /mnt/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

root@ubuntu:/media/bob/New/ps3_decrypt_tools/data#

[haz367]

didn't get that far here..the pain in the butt is the size of the "sectors" file..tested
6668863488 bytes/6.20GB chunks = segmentation fault
Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION at eip=00403119

isn't there a faster way on a pc even if 1GB chunks work..80x..imagine 320gb

but the sectors_decrypted, checked with HxD, obviously its decrypted fine
then the mounting part..lol
