Part I. - Gettings Started
Part II. - Preparing the HDD
Part III. - Find & Merging a HDD
Part IV. - Decrypting
Part V. - Encrypting

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[I.] GETTING STARTED

Everytime you install a new version of firmware, you should create two merged backups of the HDD used to encrypt/decrypt.

You should use two HDDs. One to be used only for decrypting & encrypting the dummy, and the other one can contain the data you
want to encrypt & decrypt. You can use 1 HDD, but it would require more time on your part.

First of all, you have to prepare your smaller HDD and to create a dummy file. Follow the #PREPARE HDD# section.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[II.] PREPARE HDD

- Double-zero (00) the HDD (use the 'Prepare HDD' tab). It's better you use a small HDD to do such operations.
Your HDD will be FORMATTED! Be CAREFUL when choosing the HDD!

- Unplug the ethernet connection to avoid receiving network messages if you have the automatic login option enabled (on PS3).

- Plug the HDD and turn on the console (PS3).

- Format the HDD as requested (using PS3's format).

- After the PS3 reboots, create and login to a user account. You must use only one account for this, so remember that.

- Disable the Information Board (orange info-scrolling board in top right of PS3).

- Turn Off the console normally (hold PS-button and turn off system).

- Unplug the HDD and create a merged image (FIND & MERGE section of this tutorial) naming it: MasterImage_To_Encrypt_xxx.bin
(where xxx is the console's firmware version).

- Create a dummy file. Leave the default size as it is (214748364. Browse to your flash drive and click 'Create Dummy File'.

- Copy the dummy file from the flash drive to the PS3 HDD (in Music section) and create a merged image (FIND & MERGE section) naming it:
MasterImage+Dummy_To_Decrypt_xxx.bin (where xxx is the console's firmware version).

- Open your MasterImage+Dummy_To_Decrypt_xxx.bin file in WinHex and seek for a dummy sector; it's easy to understand where the dummy starts,
all of the dummy sectors are equal in size (1 sector is 512 bytes). You just have to seek the entire HDD scrolling it down until you see a
repetitive pattern different from the initial one (a fast method is to go at the middle of the .bin file, there should be the dummy).

- Note: Set Winhex this way: VIEW > RECORD PRESENTATION: put the 'v' in all 3 checkmarks, then fill these values:
First Record at offset: 0
Record size in bytes: 512

- Remember to select a good background color in WinHex options (Options > General) or you won't notice where a sector starts!
This way each sector will be displayed in an alternate color, making it easier to see different sectors.

- Create a dummy data partlog using FIND & MERGE, chosing option "Find all HDD sectors starting with these 16 bytes".
You'll obtain a partlog of the dummy data, keep it, you will need it frequently.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[III.] FIND & MERGE

- This section allows you to create merged images and the related partlogs.

- To create a merged image, select "Find all HDD sectors containing data different from 0x00, all through the HDD".
Select a source disc.
Select a partlog and image name.

- It will create 2 files. A .txt (thats the partlog) and a .bin (that's the merged image).

- To create dummy data partlogs, select "Find all HDD sectors starting with these 16 bytes".
Fill the textbox with the first 16 bytes of a dummy sector
Select a source disc.
Select a partlog name.

- It will create one .txt file (that's the dummy data partlog).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[IV.] DECRYPT

- Double-zero the HDD (00) (use the 'Prepare HDD' section) differently than the one that you used to encrypt or decrypt (so a second one that
could be big).

- Format it using your PS3. Download the PSN data you want to decrypt (or install a game data package, or whatever you
want to see decrypted).

- Attach it to PC. Go to Find & Merge and use the option "Find all HDD sectors containing data different from 0x00"
You will obtain a partlog-DataToBeDecrypted.txt and a partlog-DataToBeDecrypted.bin, the last one is the data to be decrypted, already merged.

- Restore the MasterImage+Dummy_To_Decrypt_xxx.bin to a HDD that you will use only to encrypt/decrypt.
To restore, see the RESTORE A MERGED IMAGE section below.

- In decrypt step 1, select the PS3 HDD where you have just restored MasterImage+Dummy_To_Decrypt_xxx.bin.
Select the merged file obtained from the operation above (partlog-DataToBeDecrypted.bin)
Select the dummy data partlog you obtained from the PREPARE HDD section.
Click 'o process'. The data will be copied on the HDD in the place of the dummy file.

- Now insert the HDD that you just patched into your PS3. Copy the dummy file from HDD to a flash drive.

- Now attach the flash drive to the PC and select: "Decrypt Step 2":
Browse to the flash drive, find Dummy99.mp3
Select the same merged file you selected in the step above.
Choose an output file (it's the decrypted result).
Select the dummy data partlog you obtained from the PREPARE HDD section.
Push 'o process', you will obtain a merged decrypted file.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[V.] ENCRYPT

- Restore the MasterImage_To_Encrypt_xxx.bin to a HDD that you will use only to encrypt/decrypt.
To learn how to restore, see the RESTORE A MERGED IMAGE section below.

- In encrypt step 1:
Browse to your flash drive's root.
Browse to the merged data you want to encrypt.
Click 'o process', the data will be copied onto the flash drive whith the right structure.

- Now insert the HDD that you just restored with MasterImage_To_Encrypt_xxx.bin into your PS3.
Copy the dummy file from flash drive to HDD using your PS3.

- Turn off PS3 and detach the HDD, then attach it to your PC.

- In encrypt step 2:
Select the HDD with the dummy file.
Browse to the merged data to be encrypted.
Select the dummy data partlog you obtained from the PREPARE HDD section.
Select the output file name and place.
Click 'o process', the data will be copied to your PC.

- Restore the merged encrypted file by following the RESTORE A MERGED IMAGE section.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[VI.] RESTORE A MERGED IMAGE

- In expand data:
Select operation: split parts and write them in a physical target disk (ALL)
Browse to the merged data.
Browse to the merged data partlog.
Select your target disc.
Click 'o process', the data will be restored (expanded) in the selected HDD.
