andbey0nd has released an update to his Cex 2 Dex Flash Patcher. This update includes: Changes REGION/TARGET_ID in PS3 NOR flash. The debug update of multiMAN' is available as USUAL when you start multiMAN while holding L2+R2 and updating online...
 

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)
8C (RUS/ASIA)

Output:

c:\c2d> c2d.exe eid_root_key.bin flashCEX.bin flashDEX.bin 82

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

EID0 IV : 2DC374E270F851EB0D524F89790F2563

EID0 SEC KEY: 4C40F3E244EF2BF29A9D48BE26FEEEEB

Target ID : $85 (from decrypted EID0 section)
New TargetID: $82 (for modified flash)

CMAC HASH : F1053CC3818DD6CE2775F0273DFC212E
