PS3 Save Game Tools Pack Update (121412) /
PFDTool and SFOPatcher Source Code /
BruteforceSaveData GUI
From
Flat_z: Some people asked me about the source code of pfd & sfo tools.. here they are (linked above).
Guys, here is an update of my tools. It contains an update to sfopatcher (see the changelog below) and a small update to pfdtool. Previously you should make a save game for your game on your console and then use PARAM.SFO from it as a template to PARAM.SFO from a foreign save game to build a new PARAM.SFO which will contain the data specific to your console. A newer version of sfopatcher will use a foreign save data directory and params only if you specify these options.
From
aldostools: A new version of the frontend is available with the updated tools from flatz and new settings to take advantage of these features.
Changes: new "Rebuild" option, new "Restore" option, updated the database with secure_file_id for more than 750 games (over 3140 title ids). Added a new "date" column. Special thanks to flatz, Alex at CMP, acab, skillerCMP, gingerbread and many others
Changelog:
pfdtool 0.2.3
- Added an option to specify the relative offset to advance each time while bruteforcing a secure file ID.
Finally, below is a guide from
zorrolaro on how to use PFDTool without PS3 CFW using Borderlands 2 as an example:
Required Tools:
Guide:
- Create a folder near your root drive for pfdtool (i.e. c:/pfdtool/), then extract all files into that folder from the linked archive.
- Download and install wireshark and winPcap (included with the wireshark installer)
- Download and install the .net runtimes
- Download and install PS3 ProxyServer
- Open a command prompt (start menu -> all programs -> accessories -> command prompt) and enter command "ipconfig". Write down the IPv4 address (should look like 192.168.0.10 or something similar)
- Open PS3 ProxyServer and copy the IPv4 address you wrote down into the IP Address field and check of PS3 mode, leave the other options alone. Hit the big start button. Keep you IPv4 number handy, you'll need it again. Leave this program running.
- Open Wireshark. On the left side there is an option to start capture. Left click with your mouse to select the appropriate network adapter listed below the start command. If you are not sure about which adapter to use, select them all using ctrl + left mouse click. Hit the start button once you've highlighted the appropriate adapters. Leave this program running.
- Boot up your PS3 and navigate to Settings -> Network Settings -> Internet Connection Settings. on the first page select Custom, on the second select whether you are connected wirelessly or wired. Skip all other options by hitting right on your controller until you get to the Proxy Server page, then select use for that option. input the IPv4 address you wrote down earlier into the top field.
Make sure that the port number on this page matches the port number on PS3 ProxyServer (should both say 8080). Skip to the last page on the configuration and hit x. Test connection when prompted by hitting x again. As long as the top 3 fields say succeeded you can carry on to the next step. if not, review your settings in this step and steps 5 and 6 and retry.
- Sign into the playstation network and login to the psn store.
- Go back to your pc and check Wireshark. There should be a whole bunch of information displayed on the screen, don't worry you don't need to know what it means. Press [ctrl]+ e to stop capturing, then press [ctrl]+f to bring up your search dialogue. Under "find" check of "string" and under "Search In" check off "Packet bytes". Enter 0000000100 as your search criteria and hit enter. If the necessary packet was found, in the bottom frame it should show the number highlighted on the right side (plaintext view) to ensure you have the right packet, right before the highlighted text it should say "devideID":" and then the numbers you searched for.
Take all the numbers and letters starting with your highlighted numbers and copy everything down until you find the next quotation mark in the plaintext. You should have a total of 32 digits written down. Should look something like 000000010084 followed by a bunch of letters and numbers. This is your console id.
- Go to the folder you installed pfdtool in. Open global.conf in notepad. Eidt the line where it says console_id=by adding the console id you just captured after the =. Also change the other fields that are bolded below to match
; Global settings
[global]
authentication_id=1010000001000003
console_id=00000001008400xxx01dxxxx239xx6x6

syscon_manager_key=D413B89663E1FE9F75143D3BB4565274
keygen_key=6B1ACEA246B745FD8F93763B920594CD53483B82

tropsys_dat_key=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
tropusr_dat_key=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

tropconf_sfm_key=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
fallback_disc_hash_key=D1C1E10B9C547E689B805DCD9710CE8D
- Save file and exit (make sure you save as .conf not .txt)
- Open the games.conf file in the same folder. Edit it as follows for NA retail disc version only. You'll have a different game id (the BLUS30982) and secure_file_id. You'll need to ask for someone on the forums to get those for you if you are using a different region, version or entirely differnt game. You can add additional games follwing the same layout by adding more lines. The disc_hash_key is commented out, so you will get a notifaction everytime you use pfdtool, but it still works fine.
; "Borderlands 2"
[BLUS30982]
;disc_hash_key=
secure_file_id:*=02010508040102010508030A0F070C0D
- Save and close the file once you are done adding games. Again make sure you save as .conf, not .txt.
- Make sure you have a copy of your save game on your pc. I like to copy them right into the same folder as pfdtool to make for shorter commands.
- You are now ready to actually use pfdtool. Navigate your command prompt to the folder you installed it (command to use is simply the path of the folder, ie "c:/pfdtool"). To decrypt we use the following command:
pfdtool -g BLUS30982 -d "C:/pfdtool/BLUS30982-SAVE-SAVE0001" SAVE0001.SAV
- Where the part in quotations will be changed to reflect your actual drive location and the name of the file will be changed to your actual file name. The file name and path are case sensitive, make sure you double check you have the right case.
- You now have a decrypted save file. Use your hex editor of choice or in the case of Borderlands 2 you can use the latest version of Gibbed's Borderlands 2 Save Editor. Once you are done editing, sae your game again and onto the last step.
- All that's left at this point is to encrypt the file again. See below, same notes as when decrypting about file path and name.
pfdtool -g BLUS30982 -e "C:/pfdtool/BLUS30982-SAVE-SAVE0001" SAVE0001.SAV
- You can now transfer your save game back to your PS3.
A couple of quick notes: I have tried to make this as noob friendly as possible, but you still need some basic knowledge to follow this guide. Also, atm I really have no interest in modding any other save games so I do not have the info for other games to place in your games.conf file, though if anyone wants to post them I will be happy to add them to the guide. I did not write nor do I support any of the software mentioned in this guide.
Unfortunately we can't extract it from .PFD because IDPS is not stored there. They used it as a HMAC key to hash the content of PARAM.SFO.
I already said many times that some hashes are not checked. That's why Xploder works fine without your console ID. But my goal was the correct generation of the PFD (because S0ny can add new checks in the future) and I had managed to use all keys but you can omit some of them (based on your console id or disc hash key, for example).
From
cheetahh: I can confirm that flat_z tool can be used to decrypt TROPTRANS.DAT file and if you know how to modify all the files correctly (there are different checksums and hashes in the files) you can sync those unlocked trophies to PSN as well.
From
Sunny992: All information should be free, don't conceal it if it's already leaked, which it was.
troptrns_dat_key=91EE81555ACC1C4FB5AAE5462CFE1C62A4AF36A5
It was leaked on NGU.
New user here. Just taking a quick look around for the time being....

To quote: Hi guys this is a PS3 save resigner. Thanks to flat_z for his amazing work. The games.conf is from aldostool. This is just for people who needs an easier way to use flat_z's tool. Credit goes to flat_z for his pfdtool.
You can resign any saves from any regions to any regions. From any accounts to any accounts. You can also remove the copy-protection.
It's easy to use, and very user-friendly. It works for Retail PS3. All you have to do is search for the keys on Internet (watch the video).
Updates: PS3 Save Resigner v1.1 homebrew application is now available (linked above) and includes the following updates:
• added an option for modders: Decrypt the entire game save folder. It decrypts the game save folder for you, then it waits for you to mod what you want in it, and then it recrypts and resigns it.
How it works:
Follow the video exept that instead of clicking "resign", you will click decrypt. Then , once you are done modding, click "Encrypt & Resign". Done. You can still select the first way if you are not planning to mod the file, just hit "Resign".
PS3 Save Resigner 1.3 Changelog:
• Added some features
• Added "Copy params of a specified game" option: To all those who were getting corruption errors (Tekken ect..), this version may fix them.
• Make sure to select the "Copy params of a specified game" option, and load the PARAM.SFO of your version of the game that you try to resign a save to.
• Decrypt option updated: When you decrypt a game save folder, it's now in the folder "Decrypted Save Folders".
• Attempt to fix the XP problem.
PS3 Save Resigner 1.4 Changelog:
• Fixed Windows XP problems. Now it works for everyone. BIG thanks to RuiGR for his great help.
Note: the games.conf is updated regularly by aldostools, so i will update the new file each times in the "dropbox folder". You will have to replace the old one by the updated one in the tool's folder.

Method 1 - Pseudo Save Resigning
Step 1: You have to be on CFW to perform these steps. Open PARAM.SFO in any Hex Editor (i.e HxD, Hex Workshop, Ultra Edit and etc.). It does not matter which hex editor you use because all can represent data in raw and have copy/paste/find options which are sufficient.
Step 2: The "Account ID" which identifies Your user account and PSN. The Account ID always starts at (0x140) and always have 16 bytes and the length is 10.
Step 3: Replace it with your values and you have to do it twice. First at 0x140. The second offset address is somewhere in the file. Use Search and use the original value to perform a search and replace it. The address of 2nd "Account ID" is constant only with the same game save title, it's different for different games.
Step 4: The Second ID is "console id" which identifies Your console (don't mislead it with IDPS). It also have 16 bytes and also is not on constant offset.
Step 5: Third ID is user number account (for example: for "dev_hdd0/home/00000001/" will be 01)). In the example above, it is 48. There are in two position that 48 is.
Step 6: You can't simply copy back your save using XMB. It will most likely give you an error. You have to FTP back to your save folder and overwrite the files.
Note: The method works most of the time but could result in corrupted saves. If the game is design to regenerate a new save, it usually creates a new working save.
Method 2 - Fake Save Data Owner
Info: Only available in Debug FW or Rebug's CFW.
Info: Allows use of save data from other users and displays a warning message at every load/save during the game. Once a save data has been saved with this features activated, that save couldn't be read with this function deactivated.
Off: deactivate the Fake Save Data Owner function.
On: activate the Fake Save Data Owner function.
Note: There is a notification of the "Caution: Fake Save Data Owner On" every-time when any game is saving. It can be very annoying.
Method 3 - Changing Your PS3's Console ID. WARNING: May cause RSOD if done wrongly.
Step 1: Use FTP to transfer a file name xRegistry.sys from your CFW PS3 to your PC (located at /dev_flash2/etc/)
Step 2: Useing Hex Editor application to open a file named PARAM.SFO from any of your save data. Go to offset 140 you'll see your PSN account serial in a 16 digits format, copy that 16 digits and paste it somewhere (notepad or something). Look at Method 1.
Step 3: Open xRegistry.sys with the xRegistry editor (I recommend you to BACKUP the file before you edit it)
Step 4: Now you have to edit the following fields:
/setting/user/(account number)/npaccount/accountid === add your 16 digits PSN account serial here
/setting/user/(account number)/npaccount/loginid === your PSN email here
/setting/user/(account number)/npaccount/password === your PSN password here
/setting/user/(account number)/ytaccount/password === your PSN password here
/setting/user/(account number)/net/onlineFlag === if this value is 00000000, change it to 00000001
Note: Now you suppose to be able to share your save data (that locked to PSN ID) between the 2 PS3s like they're the same machine. You can also hack the game with cheat PKG or other solutions on CFW PS3 and then transfer the save to OFW PS3 and continue collecting trophies with hacked saves.

From JeoWay comes a PS3 Save Resigner by K.G Tutorial, as follows:
Hello! To start off, all tools and programs are linked at the end. REQUIRES .Net Framework 4 and msvr100.dll !!!
1) Open up the Save Resigner.
2) In the tabs, go to "Customized Profile Settings"
3) Go the options to "Enter Public Keys"
4) Enter in the Public Keys into the Correct Lines.
PUBLIC KEYS
syscon_manager_key= D413B89663E1FE9F75143D3BB4565274
keygen_key= 6B1ACEA246B745FD8F93763B920594CD53483B82
savegame_param_sfo_key= 0C08000E090504040D010F000406020209060D03
fallback_disc_hash_key= D1C1E10B9C547E689B805DCD9710CE8D
6) Copy over *YOUR* save data from the PS3.
7) Locate "Enter Private Keys".
8) Either enter the values in yourself or load YOUR param.sfo from YOUR Save.
9) Now click save Profile (As either 01, 02, or 03)
10) On the tabs, go back to "Save Resigner"
11) Go to File > Open > Locate Modded Save Data
12) After mod save is loaded, you can change region by editing the Game ID.
13) (Don't edit the Console, Account, or User ID's)
14) Now select a profile to resign to.
15) Either decrypt the save and then edit and re-encrypt and resign OR...
16) Simply click "Resign" and use it.
17) Sometimes it still says corrupt after resign so you need to copy params.
FIXING CORRUPT ISSUES
1) Check the box of copy params of a specific game.
2) If you get an error, you need to install msvr100.dll (Link Below)
3. Now select "Resign", and it MAY fix the corrupt issue.
(I have had this problem with Sound Shapes Game Save)

More PlayStation 3 News...
the cheats that are applied directly to the eboot wouldn't be the same cheats that you could apply to the save game.
Easiest things you can do with unprotected save data is: use someone else's save as your own. modify your save data with save editors.
if there's not a save editor for the game you want to edit, you have to go in with a hex editor and look for what you want to change.
please can someone give me some detailed advice because I haven't seen much clear detailed info on this that I can actually understand
how are you all doing this exactly? please enlighten me I'm using rebug 4.21
