=Making Changes to cell_ext_os_area VFLASH Region=
* Here is one of the use cases for your dumped HDD and VFLASH keys.
* It's the VFLASH region where petitboot is stored.
* Useful for OtherOS++ users.
* You will need it if you flash bad petitboot which doesn't boot and just hangs.
* You have to connect your HDD to your PC, e.g. with SATA-2-USB adapter.
* We will clear OtherOS boot flag and GameOS will boot again.
* We don't have to decrypt VFLASH, only HDD, because cell_ext_os_area is NOT encrypted with VFLASH key, only with HDD key.
* I tested everything myself, it's safe to use.

modprobe dm_mod

# On my PC, sdd is the PS3 HDD connected through SATA-USB adapater
hdd_size=`blockdev --getsize /dev/sdd`
echo "0 $hdd_size bswap16 /dev/sdd" | dmsetup create hdd
echo <your data key as hex string> <your tweak key as hex string> | xxd -r -p > hdd_key.bin
cryptsetup create -c aes-xts-plain64 -d ./hdd_key.bin -s 256 hdd_crypt /dev/mapper/hdd
kpartx-ps3 -a /dev/mapper/hdd_crypt
# cell_ext_os_area starts at offset 0xe740000 on VFLASH
# first dump os area parameters
# it begins at offset 0xe740200
dd if=/dev/mapper/hdd_crypt1 of=params.bin bs=1 count=512 skip=$((0xe740200))
# now clear the boot flag
# just make the first 4 bytes in params.bin all 0s
# now we write it back
dd of=/dev/mapper/hdd_crypt1 if=params.bin bs=1 count=512 seek=$((0xe740200))
sync
# clean up everything before disconnecting PS3 HDD
kpartx-ps3 -d /dev/mapper/hdd_crypt
dmsetup remove hdd_crypt
dmsetup remove hdd
# now GameOS should boot and you can flash a new petitboot :)
# you also could write new petitboot image to VFLASH :)

=Further Work=
* Encryption/decryption of HDD on FreeBSD using geli framework.
