I know. Im just adding EID to the list of posible candidates because it could be very usefull for other experiments if the PS3 has the habillity to rebuild EID by itself... i think rebug toolbox can rebuild EID but im not sure if is using native functions availables in the firmware... or his custom ones
So until someone reputable asures me that the PS3 is not able to rebuild the EID by itself... i keep it as a doubtfull posible candidate
But yes, cvtrm is the most probable, but by looking at wiki it seems has not been identifyed completly (i edited that page a bit btw trying to improve it)
If you look at the examples... in total there are not too much stuff stored inside cvtrm... are just a few identifyers, a long list of something that looks like versions, and 2 or 3 small encrypted areas (could be hashes or keys instead)
The problem is... to completlly understand what is stored there is needed to reverse the functions related with vtrm ---> Hypervisor Reverse Engineering - PS3 Developer wiki
The other way to try to understand his contents (not needed coding or reversing skills)... is to make comparisons between different cvtrm's... but if you compare them between different consoles there will be too much differences and probably will be harder to understand why the values are different
So... is better to compare different cvtrm's from the same console... all them needs to be generated with the firmware native functions and needs to be valid and working... and for this is needed to know in wich cases the PS3 rebuilds the cvtrm and try to generate a few different ones
You said FSM is one of the functions that rebuilds it... and other could be when you connect the PS3 for first time to internet/PSN (is not really clear yet when happens, but i believe you)... i dont know more
