Xploder Video Tutorial:

This video tutorial shows you how to:

Use copy-protected, locked saves
Change the region by hex editing the .SFO file (only required for locked saves)
Re-sign to your PSN profile using Xploder

You will need:

USB stick with at least one original save, copied straight from your PS3
(in the video example, this is Plants vs. Zombies)
Copy-protected save, with the PARAM.SFO file included
(in the video example, this is DJ Hero 2)
Hex editor
(I demonstrate using PS3 SFO Edit - free download here)
Xploder Ultimate Edition

In the example, I show how to use a DJ Hero 2 save which is 1) locked, and 2) an EU region save.
This video tutorial shows how to fix both of those issues, unlocking the save and converting from EU to US.

Because it is locked, you cannot copy your own PARAM.SFO file from your PS3 to onto the USB stick.
The good news is that you don't need to.
We'll show how Xploder still works, even without your .SFO file.
Normally, Xploder automatically converts saves between regions.
However, with a locked save, you cannot provide your own .SFO file...
So, we will HexEdit the DJ Hero 2 save to change the region from EU to US manually.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Locked Saves
Q: What is a locked save?
A: These are copy protected saves, meaning that you are locked from copying your save files from your PS3 to the USB stick.

Q: Which games use locked saves?
A: Unfortunately, many of the games which have hacked trophy savegames on this site are also copy protected with locked saves, including: Assassin's Creed 2, Bayonetta, Demon's Souls, DJ Hero 1 & 2, Heavy Rain, Killzone 2, Need for Speed Shift, Need for Speed Undercover, UFC 2009, WWF Smackdown 2010, & Wipeout HD, among others. PS3Trophies maintains an updated list of games which use locked saves. PS3T's Official Locked Saved Games Thread

Q: I'm on OFW and can't copy my locked save onto the USB stick. Can I still use a hacked save for this game??
A: Yes. If you're on Original Firmware (OFW) and trying to use Xploder to hack trophies, you cannot copy your saves onto USB. The good news is that you don't need to. Even though you cannot copy your .SFO file from your PS3 onto the USB stick, Xploder will still work without your .SFO file, even for gamesaves from different regions. Watch the video above.

Changing Your Regions (BLUS/BLES)
Q: Do I need to HexEdit the PARAM.SFO file every time I want to change the region of a save?
A: No. Only for locked saves. For normal, unlocked saves, just copy all the files except PARAM.SFO from the hacked save into your save, overwriting your save files.

from time to time xploder servers go offline, i dont know the reason, but dont go and make another thread in this forum just for that OK. every thread about that will be closed.
so, yo will get and error saying cant resigns save.

you have nothing to do just wait
