i know your on ps3 and all but do you know if there is a way to do this stuff on xbox? even just modding paragon?

 

yes everything we do on ps3 can be done on xbox and i think the process is faster cause sony dual encrypts the games so we need to use bruteforce to decrypt the save first then use d3decrypt to decrypt it a 2nd time.

Where on xbox you guy's simply need to decrypt the hro file with d3decrypt use the same codes we use encrypt it back with d3decrypt and possible use bruteforce for xbox to rehash the save not sure haven't done much on xbox in a long time but i remember odd's and ends are all the same its just methods of getting to the code are different sometimes but the code's are 100% universal.

 

VIPERX420S .. .. Could you help me?
saved my save .. but now I open it in bruteforce and says unreadable ta .. and try to put it on my ps3 and says it is corrupted ... Could you help me??
ahh and one more thing. could make a change in one area to save me?

U.S.
to U.S.?

Thank you ..

 

You need to give more info on your problem. What is unreadable ta? Also what says corrupt, the ps3 when copying the save or the game when you start it. What save are you using.. etc, details help solve problems.

 

I do give credit only for those who actually helped me in any way and to tell you the truth none of those threads helped me learn what i do i did it all on my own using your thread of item id's to figure everything out myself.

The only thread i borrowed information from at all what how to add stats to an item from scratch and even then i re-wrote the entire tutorial to make it more understandable cause the way it was written originally was horrible and hard to understand. On top of this on this same thread i gave you credit and posted a link to your thread with item ids/ stat ids.

P.s. that website is being blocked for a few reasons that i can tell normally when typing a thread on a website they don't like advertisement of other forum's that could potentially steal members away. i originally tried to give credit with a source from there for the stat creation thread and had same problem so to avoid issue's I removed the link.

The reason Bruteforce is saying the file is unreadable is because you don't have everything needed installed to run Bruteforce properlly.[/background]
[background=rgb(247,247,247)]
If you are running Windows 7 64bit or Windows 8 you need to remember to download both the x64 and x86 versions of windows c++ redistribute 2010 in order for it to read the save properly. We have had experience's with this problem and its an easy fix.[/background]

 

then he says that the key .. is unreadable .. and turns red ..
can not encrypt and descrypt ...

in which to save downloaded using the internet ..

and another. u know change the region's save? ?

so .. I already have everything installed just right ..

 

hey viper I am having a problem that I never had before.

When I load the save in Bruteforce, I cant decrypt it says I am missing files, so I bruteforce it and cant find nothing. then If I do get it to decrypt, I cant use D3Decrypt, because it says I selected the wrong file, even if I select a .HRO file.

and lastly when I open the save in a Hex Editor, I cant find the 30 09 38 line, I even try searching for it, it says there is no line 30 09 38

 

well first thing i would do is try re-installing bruteforce the program seems to get error's after a single shut down so i try to refrain from closing the program at all if possible. Second if that does not help then you need to re-copy your save from ps3 and try again with a fresh save see if that works. As for d3decrypt not reading the file if Bruteforce didn't do its job properly then don't expect d3decrypt to work at all the files must be decrypted properly from bruteforce before heading over to d3decrypt.

 

If you get a error about the wrong key or unreadable, right click on the background of bruteforce and click download latest games.conf

As for changing region, once you can get bruteforce to decrypt your save, you just right click on the save in the top window then click change region.

BLUS31188 is for the US
BLES01921 is for EU

Just put in the correct region you are converting to and bruteforce will do the rest, then just make sure to encrypt both saves after you are done.

To viper, i know you linked to my thread, i was just trying to let others know about the other threads. I only direct linked to them because the users who posted them asked for others not to copy/paste it elsewhere. Its no big deal tho, just some people can get upity about it and some decide to not put out new stuff. You are doing good by showing people how to do this on their own, i guess some people dont understand stuff without visual aid lol. No offense to anyone.

 

Understandable as i said i only included link's to things i used to figure out what i do and those links are banned from this site so i discarded the use of the 1 site link for the d3decrypt program because I didn't want to get in trouble with the admin about it if the site was banned it was for a reason and i don't wanna argue with admin about it so i discarded the link in my thread to play it safe

 

---Updated---

24/10/2013: New Q&A question's/thread's added to main post. Enjoy

 

I am having trouble modding my inventory items, I want to add 1.4 billion Demonic essence to my account, I decrypt the save with Bruteforce, and D3Decrypt. I load up the .HRO file in HxD, and I found the 30 09 38 line, but I cant find the Demonic Essence code. I made it the only item on the character I dont know if that is a problem or not, but I try searching for the Demonic Essence code (F1 32 E9 F6) It says that it could not find the code...

Sorry bout the questions, I just wanted to get good at this so I could help you out a little bit

 

---UPDATE---
