you will need a jail broken ps3 for this

Developer nullptr over at PSX-Scene has released an update to his PS3 HDD Utility to version 1.00 from its BETA stage. So what does this tool do? Good Question as this tool will allow for backing up your PS3 Internal Drive without the use of a PS3. This will decrypt Sony's lock on your HDD . So you can freely Read/Copy data from the drive. There is no Write support, however this is a very handy tool to get your content off your HDD.

Released Details from v1.00

Hello everyone,

Here is a new version of the PS3 HDD Utility. It's remade with a built-in UFS2 (GameOS) file browser, and file extraction. The raw tools are removed for they are not needed anymore

As for phat support, I'm going to need an eid_root_ key and a raw sample for testing.



Released Details from BETA version

Hello everyone!

Here is a lightweight utility for your PS3 HDD raw backup, decryption needs, and other features. Right now it only supports slim PS3s.
It's written from scratch except for some ported code form naehrwert's PoC. If you have any feed back, please put it here.


Beta Version:

Dumping raw images from external disks.
Image decryption is done in chunks to save memory.
Extracting file block tool. Allows user to dump specified parts of a file.

*Notes:

I'm not responsible in ANYWAY for what is done with this app.
This tool is only for testing. It's not a one-app-solution to recovering data from PS3 HDD yet.
Decryption for NAND will be added later.
If you want to mount GameOS or do on-the-fly enc/dec, linux offers that in it's "device mapper". (I didn't test it and know
nothing about it except its name)
Connecting via eSATA is much faster. Speed is affected by other factors as well.
If anyone knows/finds a way to mount GameOS in Windows, please put it in this thread.
This app uses some modified parts of the PoC code released by naehrwert.

Tested On:

WD Scorpio Blue 1TB
Windows 7 X64

Thanks to glevand, naehrwert, flatz, PS3devwiki & everyone who worked on it.


Quick Tut:

Select your eid_root_key file.
Connect HDD to PC, ignore any initialize/format offers from windows.
Select the HDD index as it appears in "Disk Management" or HxD.
If the key and device are correct, the partition table should appear.
Click on "tools" to do whichever operation you want.

*Notes:

Dumping raw images requires access as "admin".
To do an operation on a whole file, set its "size" field to 0.


Enjoy!

i think its kinda useless as you can just ftp into your hdd when you have a jailbreak :/

thats true because everything is viewable all u have to do is go on blackbox or any other ftp go on ps3 and copy everything to ur pc is easy so ye i see your point

its not even usefull to make a backup from your harddrive even with jailbreak... you can back it up but you cannot write it to a new/bigger hdd.... maybe with ftp but i thing you are risking a brick if you try that lol

i agree i not trying i think huge risk of a brick since i havent got money pay out for a e3 flasher im gunna play it safe

It will be usefull when we have read n write acces, thats how they used to mod mw2 before a decent jailbreak was out

thats true if be came out with hard drive dequipter alot easy jailbreak wont be needed

Ye... Thats how the old school hackers modded games

honestly i would prefer that you tend to lean more that why in my opioin
