Hi Everyone,

I hope someone could help me or give me some input about this problem I have. My account was banned and I want to backup my copy protected saves from this account on my 4.82 OFW PS3 (So I can´t use PS Plus cloud feature). I was reading about this issue and the only alternative to get these files is creating a backup using the official backup tool on PS3, copy it to a PC and extract its content using PS3xport (Providing both IDPS and PSID, which I have). So, I used PS3xportGUI 0.2 and I successfully extracted the copy protected and regular save files from my backup. However, when I use Bruteforce Save Data (BSD) to resigne my saves with my new account, they appear as "unreadable" and I can do nothing with them. I thought that they were corrupted or sth, but they look fine since BSD can read the info, just not work with them. I also noticed that the PNG files of my saves showing the game logo are not showed with any software to view images (looks like an attribute/permission problem). I copied some non copy protected save files from the same console and account using an usb drive and they worked without problems with BSD. So, I´m not sure if this is a PS3xport or PC´s OS problem (I´m using windows 10 with an admin account, by the way).

Thanks in advance for any help or alternative you can provide.
 
Remove Copy Prohibited attrib from SFO, then update PFD and resign save for new NP Account ID.

If graphics are corrupted something is not right, as ICON0 is standard PNG file and should be viewable by any modern software. Try Linux CLI versions of ps3xport, they are more trustworthy.

Windows 10 is pure shit. ;)
