* Allows changing the Region / TargetID of your PS3 system
* Allows "converting" any Retail PS3 into Debug unit (target_id 0x82)
* Allows "converting" a Retail PS3 from one region to another (i.e. EUR PS3 -> JAP PS3, USA PS3 -> RUSSIAN PS3)


16 MB NOR Consoles are all PS3 Slim, and recent PS3 Fat.

works for 16MB flash dumps (NOR) only

also if for some reason a WRONG EID key is provided - the program will abort and will not generate invalid DEX flash.. so no chance for bricking

if an output DEX flash file is created - it means that it is valid

c2d.exe (win32 app)
===================

Requires:

* OpenSSL 1.0.1 installed in c:\openssl or d:\openssl (http://slproweb.com/download/Win32Op...ght-1_0_1c.exe)
* EID root key (per_console_key) obtained with metldrpwn
* CEX (NOR) flash dump
* Extract c2d.rar in a local folder (c:\c2d or d:\c2d)


Usage:

* c2d.exe eid_key_file.bin in_cex_flash.bin out_dex_flash.bin


Output:

c:\c2d> c2d.exe eid_root_key.bin flashCEX.bin flashDEX.bin

Code:


EID key : 48 bytes (eid_root_key.bin)
Flash size : 16 MB (flashCEX.bin)
Target ID : $85

EID ROOT KEY: 64D20967DEACDA16ACADBE289B0EE2C25EE77331A5040C5DC9DF67B3FE574F6D
EID ROOT IV : 6BD7C324D3B213A647DC31987345595E

Target ID : $85 (from decrypted EID0 section)

Latest Version : Update 2012-07-19

Release Date: 2012/07/20

Notes for this version: c2d.exe (win32 app)

===================

Requires:

OpenSSL 1.0.1 installed in c:\openssl or d:\openssl (http://slproweb.com/download/Win32OpenS ... 1_0_1c.exe)
EID root key (per_console_key) obtained with metldrpwn
PS3 (NOR) flash dump
Extract c2d.rar in a local folder (c:\c2d or d:\c2d)

Purpose:

Allows changing the Region / TargetID of your PS3 system
Allows "converting" any Retail PS3 into Debug unit (target_id 0x82)
Allows "converting" a Retail PS3 from one region to another (i.e. EUR PS3 -> JAP PS3, USA PS3 -> RUSSIAN PS3)

Changing a Retail PS3 region unlocks playback for region-locked DVD/Blu-ray movies and PS1/PS3 games

WARNING:

For best results flash the output NOR file with a tool which rewrites *ONLY the EID0 sector*

(one sector / 512 bytes @ sector #376 / 0x178; NOR file offset 0x2f000-0x2f1ff).

Flashing the whole 16MB NOR is not needed and can easily brick the PS3.

TIPS:

Use your original NOR flash to create new files for different regions for your PS3 to have them handy later:

For example you can have (each file is 16MB):

my-slim-JAP.EID0.NORBIN

my-slim-EUR.EID0.NORBIN

my-slim-USA.EID0.NORBIN

my-slim-DEX.EID0.NORBIN

Using a proper tool you can switch regions in one second when needed

PROTIPS:

The latest online debug update of multiMAN 04.04.03 handles writing to NOR in the right fashion (1 sector) from .EID0.NORBIN files.
To dump NOR: mmOS->Select any file->Open in HEX viewer->[SELECT]->[START]->DUMP LV2(NO)->DUMP LV1(NO)->DUMP FLASH(YES)
To write EID0 sector: mmOS->Double-click on a .EID0.NORBIN 16MB full NOR dump file->Follow the on-screen instructions->Reboot.

Usage:

c2d - Changes REGION/TARGET_ID in PS3 NOR flash

Usage: c2d.exe eid_key_file.bin in_flash.bin out_flash.bin [target_id]

[target_id]: 82..8C

82 (DEX) (default)

83 (JAPAN)

84 (USA/CANADA)

86 (KOREA)

87 (UK)

88 (MEXICO)

89 (AUSTRALIA)

8A (SE ASIA)

8B (TAIWAN)
