(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hello everyone,

First of all, I'm new to the forum, so I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong place, but my problem have multiple aspects so I wasn't sure.
So feel free to redirect the thread or tell me and I'll re-open it in the correct section.

So here goes.

I have a PS3, on Official Firmware (Version 4.75).

I am trying to edit a ps3 save file, my offline multiplayer profile for CoD : Ghosts, in order to get more teeths.
I know the online profile is stored on the servers and not on the ps3, but the offline profile is.
I have read around a LOT and I just can't get it to work. Here is what I do.

I copied two saves from Ghosts on a USB stick, and then on the computer.
Both are the same profile, but one with 15 teeths and the other with 10 teeths.

I installed BruteForce Save Data, loaded the profile settings from a Param.sfo file included in the saves.
Console ID wasn't entered in global.conf because I couldn't find it. I DID find a 32-digit hex number in offset 140 of the param.sfo file, but I read that it wasn't the Console ID anymore.

After loading the profile, I decrypted both file with BruteForce, and Verified PFD, all OK.
Then with HxD I compared both files, and found the 0F(15) to 0A(10) value in the 82F0 offset (Column 02).
I edited one of my saves and I replaced 0F to something like FF. I saved.
Now I re-verify the PFD, and it tells me that the File Key Hash has failed.
I did not find anything to fix this. So I moved along. I re-encrypted the file.

I now compared the md5 of the file BEFORE the modification, and AFTER the mod, and it is the SAME. So I don't understand the error.

Anyway, after re-encrypting the files, I click on rebuild with current profile (Full), to resign it. I put it back on the USB drive, I re-upload it on the ps3, AAAAAAND *drum roll* it says the file is corrupt !

So here are the questions.
1 - Is not pointing out the console ID in global.conf actually changes anything ?
2 - Is the 140 offset or the Param.SFO the Console ID ?
3 - If it isn't, is it possible to get my console ID using an Official Firmware ? I am not really warm at the idea of using a custom one.
4 - Is there anything I can do to fix the File Key Hash error or is it normal/irrelevant
5 - Am I forgetting something/Doing something wrong ?
6 - Any tips or suggestion ?

I appreciate your time and any help you could give me. I don't mind working for results because I figured that even if it takes 6 months to solve the issue, it will still be faster than getting the teeths the legit way, so yeah...

Thanks in advance.

Yea..u do need ur specific console id for the save resigner to do its job !

Is there any way to get the Console ID on OFW ?

No..it was possible until ofw 4.66 but since u r now on latest.. I m afraid e3 flasher is ur only choice

I see.but the E3 Flasher is no option, because I have a SuperSlim PS3.
So I guess I'll stay open for suggestions but for what I can see I'm pretty much screwed.

No, you don't need the console id in order to decrypt/encrypt the save. Don't listen to the other guy :p
Anyhow the offline profile data for Ghosts has a checksum, which is a file check in order to determine if the data has been tampered with. I've released a checksum fixer for Ghosts, look through my threads.

Also I saw your PM it's just that I couldn't answer at the time. I decrypt and encrypt using a library that I made that allows me to make programs. I code in C# (CSharp), not sure if you're familiar with that programming language.

1 - The console_id doesn't need to be entered in order to decrypt/encrypt a save.
2 - At offset 0x140 in the PARAM.SFO is the account_id
3 - There was a way to get it not long ago, but you don't need it (Look above)
4 - I don't even think that error matters, I could be wrong though.
5 - I have no idea.
6 - Try getting a games.conf file that has the disc_hash_key.

You decrypted entire encryption algorithms using C sharp ? That must have took a while. Anyway thanks for the quick reply, I'll try the checksum fixer.
Why would I need an updated games.conf ?

EDIT : Tested, without the games.conf, it works, man I can't thank you enough for that checksum fixer.
