How do I use a Dark Souls2 Starter Save?

So, I have previously modded Dark Souls 2 with a USB using 360Rev, but I wiped my flash drive with the files on it by accident. Now I am trying to do it again, but it keeps giving me errors when I try to load the gamesave from the USB.

What I did:

1. start a new game and save it onto the USB.
2. download a starter save (-GAME 0000)
3. put USB in pc, and ran 360Revolution.
4. It reads my USB fine, but I don't know how to replace the gamesave with
5. I tried to replace the downloaded game save with my actual gamesave, but that only corrupts the file.
6. If I look on my xbox360's storage while the USB is in, it will show the gamesave's name that is on the USB, so I think I am doing it semi-correctly.

Is there some new xbox 360 update that makes this method not possible? I just want to play PvE, so i can figure out exactly which build I want to do for PvP on another acc.

 

If you download someone else's save, don't forget to resign your IDs onto the save then Rehash the save (you need to always Rehash the save regardless).

Please include your save so that we can take a look at your reported issue.
