If "the keys are unknown and more than likely will never be known" the files cannot be decrypted, so who cares if they are corrupted or not?

    while downgrading ps3's, there are some per console data's. this per console data is what i am talking about. there is no way to get the keys for the few files i am talking about without destroying hardware. when you dump the flash contents, these very sensitive data's are dumped along with it, and like said many times in this thread already, if one bit (in the billions of bits throughout the dump) is off at all, it will brick the system.
    thats why it is useful to have many different methods to be able to check this per console data, because there is no way to decrypt it without destroying hardware to get the keys (afaik). and if you flash back bad data. you have a nice paper weight on your hands that cannot be salvaged EVER.

    and i need to say again i guess, there is no way to tell 100%, this has been established many times already, but the methods used have an expected outcome that has been tried and true on thousands and thousands of these console dumps. if the data falls outside of a certain range from any statistical analysis, then you can place all bets on the dump is bad.

      Ah, so the application is jailbreaking PS3s. Nice. Next time you want to involve me in piracy, ask first, okay?

        no jailbreaking is involved. this is merely exactly what i have been trying to explain so far.
