PS3 QCFW to recover savefiles?

[saco_web]

Hi, I made a thread more than a year ago, basically my Super Slim is asking me to format the hard drive every time I boot it
https://www.psx-place.com/threads/forcing-me-to-format-the-system.44868/

My question is, with the new QCFW, is there a way now to recover my savefiles from that HDD? Im willing to learn and do (almost) anything to recover them. Of course I haven't touched that HDD since then.

I don't think that qCFW will ever get that capability: https://github.com/aomsin2526/BadWDSD?tab=readme-ov-file#qcfw-mode

Maybe, sometime in the future, there is a way to retrieve the ERK from all consoles.

Hope dies last. Keep your sector by sector disk image safe (or old disk intact). We don't know what future will bring, so who knows. For today, answer is no.

What if I put that HDD in a fat PS3 with CFW?

HDDs are tied to each console. Doing that will prompt the console to format your drive.

Each PS3/PS4/PS5 encrypting internal storage by its own keys. One console not know keys from another one, so for one eg PS3 disk which is readable, will be empty for another PS3.

That's why you need EID Root Key.
