I've finally found a groundbreaking method in which you can resign Game Saves using Account ID's (no Xploder involved).
PLEASE NOTE:
I recommend that you still buy Xploder You must login or register to view this content.
And even better an Elite membership You must login or register to view this content.
as it a great deal.
For those of you that can't afford it... try this method.
Here's the backstory to it all:
I was trying to make Copy Protected Saves work on accounts which are not yet signed to an account (a Blank User). I actually wanted to use the Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions Saves (which are Copy Protected) on an account which is not assigned to any online account (so I can get the platinum ready to syncronise by simply signing into the persons account with the 100% platinum and syncing to the server).
I however realised that this was impossible to do, as the Save was Copy Protected (meaning I could not create a Save on a Blank User and copy it on to my USB to use the PARAM.sfo) so every time I tried to use the Saves they were still telling me that the Save belonged to another User and will disable certain features in the Game.
Eurika! I realised it was because of the PARAM.sfo contains the Account ID in which the Save works for, then it was just a matter of being able to obtain Account ID's from PARAM.sfo files in Saves and editing them in another PARAM.sfo (To make the second PARAM.sfo have the same Account ID as the first PARAM.sfo) in turn the Save would work on a Blank User.
I put my theory to the test by downloadng various programs and trying it out, and I have done it!
I will give an example of how this works, and give the tutorial after.
How it works:
Lets say you want to use a Game Save for Modern Warfare 3, for example, a God Mode Save.
Only there's a problem, you don't have Xploder and nobody will resign for you, you're on your own and have to wait days or longer.
DON'T FEAR!
Following this tutorial will solve your problem! You will learn how to obtain the Account ID from your Save of MW3, and add YOUR Account ID into the Save of the God Mode Save, essentially resigning it to work on the account that your Save came from.
The best part is that it acts much more than just a simple resign tool, you can make Copy Protected Saves work on Blank Users, you can even make your Save Copy Protected!
*PLEASE NOTE THAT IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO FIND THIS PROGRAM AND FIGURING IT OUT ON HOW TO WORK IT, SO I DO TAKE CREDIT FOR THAT*
Here's the tutorial:
First you're going to need to download a program called BruteForce Save Data here:

Or here:
You must login or register to view this content.
Or my personal upload here:
You must login or register to view this content.
Scroll down and download the one called 'BruteForce'.
Please understand that I have a Windows 7 laptop, and the program works fine on it, so MAC Users will either have to buy a Windows computer or find alternate download for the program that runs on MAC.
*Note there may be a mising DLL file error, to fix this you need to download Microsoft Visual Basic*

Once you have the program downloaded and running, you're going to want to start by creating or getting any Save from the account that you want the Second Save to work for, (copy a MW3 Save or Batman Save from your main account onto your computer).
Next you will want to open BruteForce, so do that.
Browse and find the Save folder for your Save that you placed onto your computer.
You must login or register to view this content.
You will see your files from inside that folder show in the program at the bottom left.
Right Click on PARAM.sfo and choose '
ecrypt FPD' then choose yes.You must login or register to view this content.
Then double click on the PARAM.sfo to open it.
You will see the 'Account ID' number on the box that pops up, all you have to do is highlight and copy it.
You must login or register to view this content.
Then close the box, and browse to the Save that you want to work for your Account, then open it.
Again you will see the files at the bottom left, so right click on PARAM.sfo and choose to Decrpt FPD again.
Then Double click on the PARAM.sfo again and PASTE your account ID to replace the current one in the box.
Then click 'Save' at the bottom and save the PARAM.sfo and overwrite the previous one.
You must login or register to view this content.
Finally click rebuild to re-crypt the PARAM.sfo and BAM! You have just resigned your Save!
The best part is that there is an option to Copy Protect your Save with the tool, just a fun little feature IMO. You can even add the Account ID of a Blank User onto any Save to get it to work to get any Game ready to Syncronise without Jailbreak!
I just wanted to share this with those who struggle to get Xploder or cannot afford it, this is a free and great little program that I use and I wanted to share it with the community.
Thanks for reading and I hope you have a nice day! ^^
For those who struggle with this guide, there is an alternate method here:

If you open PARAM.SFO using a hex editor, your console ID is on line 140.

My main panel showing the saves never refreshes no matter which directory I point it to (using "..." or "refresh" or manually typing path or even updating the regedit path). I only works if I re-install BSD every single time, which is a solution, but far from ideal. Any ideas?

I assume you have the template.sfo all sorted out and working with your account id. From there just load in a save, decrypt the PDF, then go to patch PDF it should ask to use the profile info from the .SFO file that your using as the template. After you patch verify and click rebuild. I'm not sure what the difference between partial or full so I go with clicking full.
If you haven't got the template.sfo figured out, easy way to tell up top it will normally say template.sfo missing. Just take a save from your PS3 thats not locked such as UT3 or GTA4. Then take the PARAM.SFO file and copy it into the bruteforce folder in the C drive of your computer (C://, program files x86, bruteforce) then just rename it after you copy it there as template.sfo then follow the text above.
Should work now.

Somehow I did everything you described and it works for DoA5 and Borderlands 2 saves with no problems. It's not working for E.X. Troopers tho. It copies fine in XMB, but when the game tries to access the save, it says it's corrupted. Maybe it's the japanese characters? I'm not sure how to proceed. Any help would be appreciated.
Here is my save and the third party save, if anyone wants to play with it:
