PS3 Need help saving my data from a PS3 with 8002F1F9

[GMarth]

Hello everyone !

My PS3 slim was on hen, and I kept it offline most of the time until I wanted to sync trophies. Recently there's been an update, so I updated to sync my trophies and boom, 8002F1F9 because my bluetooth module was broken. I recovered it via some magic I found on the internet but it reverted me back to my last ofw, which is 4.91. I sent it to repair but the guy told me he wouldn't do it because it was modded... Even if it's in ofw now but I didn't insist.

I really want to sync my trophies and I'm willing to buy a new console for it, but I can't find specific ways to do it for people who cumulate those problems. I read about the Data Transfer Utility but according to Sony, it requires to update the old system (which I can't) and nobody tells if the trophies that are not synced transfer. And also, there are remnants of my HFW, like the usual apps and some custom PS2 backups and I don't know if it will cause problems. Maybe I could backup everything and transfer it but I can't get my hfw back to do it since it will throw me back in the 8002F1F9 loop.

So my questions are :
- Is there a possibility to avoid the module check when updating so I'm not stuck on 8002F1F9 ?
- Do you have details on the Data Transfer Utility ? Maybe it's false and you can do it as long as both consoles are on the same fw, maybe you know if non synced trophies carry over...
- Do you have any other idea I didn't have ? (except finding another repair guy or doing it myself...)

Thank you for reading through all of this.

DTU and SBU not touching trophies and licenses. They are useless. Plus, needs working vsh (XMB) to which you cannot boot AFAI understood your post (boot loop).

You could retrieve your data on PC but you need to dump EID Root Key, which needs fully working CFW/qCFW for that. Also, you could safe yourself from boot loop if have that key, because it is matter of clearing cache partition.

There is NO other way to retrieve your data. You need disk encryption key(s) or fix BT-WiFi (I didn't look into psdevwiki error codes, I assumed you checked that and it points to dead BT).

What you should do:
1. Take out your disk from PS3.
2. Send to repair shop, saying what is probably broken and need fixing.
3. They will do that (They will use their own disk for testing). ;]
4. Make PS3HDD image (raw, uncompressed, all sectors), just in case.
5. Put your HDD back and update fw (because of version mismatching between what you will have in NOR (they will install latest OFW) with what VFLASH partition contains).

If PS3 will want format disk:
6. Agree to that (for some reason some PS3 rejecting not assigned disk, and repair service will assign their own disk). Formatting also assigning disk.
7. Restore image.
8. Do what I described in point no.5
