I.  Introduction
================
CONSaver can help you get back all those corrupt saves from a banned Xbox 360 Profile/Console.

II. Usage
================

Place your KV.bin into the Resources folder, it is best to use your KV.bin from an ibuild extraction to ensure the correct size (Size on disk should be 16,384 bytes. If you use a KV.bin that is not from the nand you are going to be using your gamesaves on, the resigning process will fail for games that require the Console ID to be correct.

Create a save (any game) using the Profile you wish to recover the saves to, console and the storage device you wish to transfer the corrupt games saves to and copy that save to your PC. in CONSaver, go to settings, click open... and point to the newly created game save. It will get the Profile ID, Console ID and Device ID out of the game save to use for uncorrupting other gamesaves.


For FTP, set your FTP settings under Settings, then just click download, select the profiles you wish to use and click ok. Once you are done with the files just click upload and it will upload the edited files to you Xbox 360. Local FTP content will be deleted when you close CONSaver.

For Local files, click 'Add...' and point to either the root directory containing all your gamesaves or to a folder containing a single gamesave and click ok. Now just click UnCorrupt to scan through and uncorrupt and profile that is corrupt. You cannot use FTP upload for Local Files unless you put the local folders in '/FTP/' and in the E* folder.


This will not allow you to trade gamerprofiles between profiles for some games, it will only allow you to transfer saves from your old console onto your new one.

This is for everyone wondering about the KV.bin

The KV.bin is not REQUIRED from the console you are putting the saves onto UNLESS one of your saves is Forza 3 or Braid (I am unsure if any other games require it). If you do not have one of these games or do not mind if you cannot transfer them across or dont have a way to get your KV.bin, then you can obtain a KV.bin from many other applications such as le fluffie (or basically any other resigner application out there)

All game saves store your Console ID in 2 locations, 0x36C which is the location which most games use, but some games such as Forza 3 also cross check it with the second location at 0x6. Changing 0x6 changes the signiture in the CON file and requires it to be resigned, resigning requires a KV.bin to resign it correctly. If a KV.bin is used that is not from that console that you wish to use the saves on, then the value at 0x6 (which is the second location for the Console ID) gets altered to the console ID of the KV.bin used, due to the resigning process. Therefor, games such as Forza 3 will see that save as corrupt and wont load it.

99% of games do not use the value at 0x6, and may only use 0x36C to get the console ID. A KV.bin is only needed from your console for that 1% of games, otherwise a generic KV.bin is fine to use.

When your console gets banned, any game you save after being banned will be corrupt if you try to load it with any other console.

[krizalid]

Thanks for this apps, even thou I don't have any corrupted gamesaves, I'm interested in the resigning feature in batch.


Will this just resign al gamesaves for me providing the correct IDs\Keys?

Or does the process require corrupted gamesaves in order to resign as well?


Thanks.

[7urrican]

i have been using this tonight and it seems to have done the job! fantastic job making an all-in-one tool!

it crashed when i tried to fix all my saves at the same time, but when i broke it down into smaller batches it worked great! no i can carry on with mass effect

thanks a bunch for the great work  

[floydphish04]

Does this only work with a JTagged console?  If so, bummer.  If it can be used on any console, how does it work?  Read the read me, but I don't fully understand?

Thanks

[lvader1]

it doesn't appear to like the size of my kv.bin
I read the size (16,384) in the read me, but mine (xenon) is 16,896
It's what i got from nandpro and I pulled it several times.
I didn't have any problems with the jtag process.
what gives?

it will only edit and resign the save if it is flagged from a banned console, or if one of the ids in the save differ from the ones you have set within consaver.

how many saves did you try at once, it should be able to handle a few thousand.

if you have a full name image, use i build to extract the onand

Do you need a kv.bin or can you use it to batch change console Ids?

[floydphish04]

scuba,

I don't understand what KV.bin is used for.  I don't know where to find it.  I dont know what to do with it within CONsaver once i do locate it.  

Basicly, I have a gamertag that has been banned from LIVE and would like to transfer the associated saves to a new gamertag that I currently use on LIVE.  

I thought all I would need to do is locate a save with the new, LIVE-enabled gamertag, and use it to set IDs.  Then I could add all the saves that were from the old, banned gamertag and have them converted to work with the LIVE-enabled account.

Can this app accomplish this?  If so, how would I go about doing it?  And what does KV.bin have to do with the process?

Thanks man for all the great work

To get your KV, you need your CPU key and NAND. You basically dump the NAND and decrypt the KV outta it.

[Toddler]

I think KV.bin was something you dump from the NAND, right?

I think I'm confused for the same reason that others here have mentioned.  I've got one banned box and one stock box.  I'm just hoping to easily move my saves and profile from one console to the other as needed.  If this app requires KV.bin, wouldn't that mean the NAND from both consoles has to be dumped?

Sorry if I'm completely off-base here.
