**CALLING ALL BRAINS WITH JAILBROKEN PS3'S** - FINAL FANTASY XIII SAVE MOD

[LukeD]

Hello People,

Ok lets start off with the simple stuff: I have a slimline PS3 320GB, running firmware 3.66 (So obviously NOT Jailbroken)
I have been playing final fantasy (Genuinely) for a while now and im up to chapter 11, and i really cant be bothered wasting hours of my life farming for GIL and CP anymore.

I have currently tried the following (ALL the game saves are the same region) (Transferred using USB - cannot use FTP because my PS3 is not jailbroken)

1.
- Ive used the "PS3SaveUnlocker" to change the values on the PARAM.SFO save game file from Gamefaqs, to my own PS3 ID, USER ID, and USER NO. (With help from Berion, Thanks man)
- Ive then copied the modified "PARAM.SFO" file to the save i want to take ownership from and my PS3 says save corrupted before it even copies over.

2.
- I then tried to hex edit the "PARAM.SFO" file from the Gamefaqs save and changed the PS3 ID, USER ID, and USER NO. to my own (Again berion also sent me a PARAM.SFO File to try)
- I then copied the modified "PARAM.SFO" file to the save i want to take ownership from, again it says corrupted.

3.
- I then tried both steps above but with my own PARAM.PFD" as well as the above Modified "PARAM.SFO"s but it still stays corupted ;/

4. I then tried using the APP.DAT file with the above and still no luck.

So in conclusion what i am asking is can anybody with a jailbroken PS3 take my original save, change the ownership of the save to there own using modified "PARAM.SFO" file, and ftp it to there console, modify the save with that boot hack that people are using for the 99999999 GIL & 99999999 CP, then save the game, and then put the save back on there computer and make the save my own "using my original PARAM.SFO file, and then send me the file?

Im honestly not bull**itting when i say if somebody does this for me i will donate $10. Thats easy cash for anybody with the knowledge hahahah ;P (ONLY IF IT WORKS OBVIOUSLY)

Thanks everybody for taking the time to read this essay ;P

This will not work with the same reason why after You replace save file (APP.DAT) XMB and/or game saying it's corrupted. More, if someone just replace files via FTP/filemanager etc. and save magically start working, You cannot save results on save which is not save owner (and with Fake Save Owner option on, PS3 also changing IDs).


Ultimate solution for open save modifing is reverse keys which encrypt/sign them. This is far beyond my knowledge.
