eid_root_key

Tutorial assembled from three others which I made in some period for some purposes. It describes three methods: Based on Flatz's eEID Root Key Dumper which fit for any CFW 3.55 - 4.75 (which still can be useful if user do not want update fw for various of reasons). Based on Rebug Toolbox which...

Application that allows to read PS3 internal HDD on PC with Windows or Linux (both versions in archive, included source code). EID Root Key is mandatory! More details in readme. Do NOT initialize HDD on Windows! Programmed by Picard (3141card). If You want know what is worth to backup, see...

First of all, you can’t expect that your computer will read the contents of a hard drive from your PS3 when you connect it. This is because: The HDD is encrypted with a unique key (for each individual console!). The partition table is non-standard, so it is neither MBR nor GPT (let’s...

Hey guys! It's possible recover the data from an dead PS3?

Simple tutorial how to use unused last sector of internal hard drive. In example: to store there EID Root Key. There are more unencrypted/not used sectors from the end of media, also in other places but I chose this one as for sure it surviving formatting from PS3 level. Tutorial was written in...

After a long day messing with my PS3 HDD, some nice idea comes to my mind during nap. :D As we all know, whole or almost whole space (depend, but this is not important now) is encrypted by unique pair of keys (or one key in case of NAND units). To read data from it, we need i.e EID Root Key...

Let me start off by saying, yes I know, it was inherently stupid of me to click OK on the initialize screen in the windows disk manager. What I wanted to do was clone the 500GB HD that I already had in the PS3 to a 500GB SSD. Not knowing that probably wouldn't work anyways after reading a bunch...

Developer @Zar (creator of the ManaGunz Homebrew also) let us know that an update to the PS3 CFW Homebrew utility known as IDPSet has received a new update to version 0.88. Since the previous update coming in Sept. 2015, developer Zar has made new improvements to the utility that introduces...

Anyone from dream team is interesting in ERK Dumper (just like IDPS dumper)? For those peoples who don't want CFW and/or risking patching flash dumps but just to have i.e access to their data on HDD. It is even possible from such level? @esc0rtd3w / @bguerville / @habib

Old thread content was deleted as problem was solved and nothing really important was here. From now, it serves as home of PS3HDD Keygen script (always newest version available in attachment). Unpack and remeber to add executable attribute. ;) //Attached script removed. It is part now of...
