=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.
* 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.
