== golden keys ==
 +
 +
I used 8 of my 98 golden keys, saved and quit, restore my profile from USB. , reloaded and there are the weapons.
 +
 +
Claptrap's Stash is not on your character save, but also is part of your profile save, along with your keys, skins, BAR.
 +
 +
1. Copy Borderlands 2 "Profile Data" file to USB stick (file description is visible when file is selected).  To do this click triangle button and select "Copy" and select USB stick as target location.
 +
 +
2. Load your game and use keys.  Don’t do anything else.  Save and exit.  Exit the game.
 +
 +
3. Remove "Profile Data" file from PS3 save folder.
 +
 +
4. Copy "Profile Data" from USB stick to PS3. This time you will not have to select destination.
 +
 +
After this step all keys available before making a copy of profile data will be restored. Start game and use them again if you wish. Just make sure to make a copy of "Profile Data" file right before using your keys and don't do anything except looting that golden chest. You will lose any profile-related progress, only character progress and items will be preserved.

 +
Copy profile to usb... use keys... copy from usb...
 +
 +
You need to copy your Profile Data file only. Not your character save.
 +
 +
You put your profile data save on a USB, go use your keys, then reload your profile data from the USB back on to your PS3 and that's how you do it with a USB.

== Save file editing ==
 +
 +
Written here is the way to do this on PS3. This should also work for Xbox and PC, but I have only done it on PS3, and do not know how to correctly extract the save file on Xbox and PC.
 +
 +
For the PC, just use Gibbed Save Editor to open and edit your save files.
 +
 +
This also seems to work "offline" as well as "online" as gearbox does not have a competitive range for online play and since none exists, this is why a lvl 1 can play with overpower lvl 8 host, At the moment gearbox is not checking file saves and from the look of online play, none will ever exist, But.....even if you max out your character with massive skills and weapons once lvl 72, most enemies when on third play trough *UVHM* will still pose a challenge and on overpower lvl 1-8 will pose the biggest challenge, so you still cant take away the run and gun aspect of the game even by cheating.
 +
 +
Working as of 5/25/14
 +
 +
 +
ALWAYS REMEMBER TO KEEP A COPY OF YOUR ORIGINAL SAVE FILE JUST IN CASE!!! Do NOT blame me if you screw this up!
 +
 +
1: First of all, you'll need a USB flash memory stick(FAT32 formatted), and a computer. after getting those, you need to download and install these programs(direct download links in parenthesis):
 +
 +
    Microsoft .NET framework 4 (Media:http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17851)
 +
 +
    BruteForce 2.1(Media:http://www.mediafire.com/download/impp1jddbd1bhmj/Bruteforce2.1.rar). (There are newer versions of it, but haven't tried them)
 +
 +
    Bruteforce Dependencies(Media:https://dl.dropbox.com/u/37938765/Dependencies.rar)
 +
 +
    Gibbed's Save Editor(Media:http://blog.gib.me/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/saveedit_r155.zip)
 +
 +
2: After installing all above items, put your USB stick in your PS3, and go to the "Saved Data Utility(PS3 TM)" Folder in your XMB Game category. Find your character's save file(NOT profile data), push triangle, choose copy, and choose your USB stick as copy destination.
 +
 +
3: After copy completes(should take about 5-10 seconds), take the USB stick out of the PS3 and put it in your computer's USB port. When you open the USB stick, there will be a folder named "PS3" on it. Cut/paste this folder to your desktop(or copy it and delete it from the USB stick, whatever floats your boat).
 +
 +
4: Open BruteForce Save Data Tool. Click the ... to the right of the address bar, and browse for the folder location(should be something like C:\Users\(your PC user name)\Desktop\PS3\SAVEDATA\(your PS3's ID no.)-SAVE-SAVE0001\) and click ok. When you do this, the save file will pop up in BruteForce.
 +
 +
5: Click the button "Decrypt PFD", click Yes on the first dialog box popping up, and Ok on the second. A warning will message will show in the bottom right section of BruteForce, ignore this warning, as it means nothing for what you're doing. Minimize BruteForce and open Gibbed's Save Editor.
 +
 +
6: Click "Open". Choose PS3 Save Files(.sav) instead of the standard PC Save Files(.sav) right above the bottom right "Open" button. (This is REALLY important, if you don't do this you'll only get an error message instead of the save file!)
 +
 +
7: If you've done everything correctly you should see your character's info popping up in Gibbed. Now have as much fun with your character as you wish. Most of the tabs are self explaining, but I'm gonna give a short explanation for them, at least those I have knowledge of:
 +
 +
    General: here you can edit your character's level and exp earned, as well as skill points for the skill trees.
 +
 +
NOTE: Gibbed's save editor works all the way up to Overpower Lvl 8 Side Note You can not award yourself badass points, or Golden keys
 +
 +
    Currency: here you can add any credits you need or want.
 +
 +
NOTES: I'm not sure if you can add Seraph Crystals without having in-game defeated one of the Seraph Guardiands(Pete The Invincible, Voracidous The Invincible etc.) without crashing the save, I Haven't tried this myself. Also, no matter how many Torgue Tokens and Eridium you enter, you won't get more than 999TTS and 500E, as these are the in-game max limits.
 +
 +
    Fast Travel: I haven't tried to mess with this myself, but it looks like you can activate any fast travel point in the game without having to find it first.
 +
 +
    Backpack: This is, IMO, the really cool one. Here, not only can you synchronize your current equipment to your character's current level(levelling up your Infinity Pistol from LVL 30 to Overpower Lvl 8 gives it approx. 126000 base damage, and the best critical I've gotten so far is with a (Corrosive) Vengeful Infinity on a loader, about 1,1 MILLION damage!!!), you can EDIT them, replacing different parts from one manufacturer to another. I found out that if you have an Infinity Pistol, and swap the original Vladof Sight with a Hyperion Sight, you get a 30% accuracy boost. Also, and even more awesome, you can MAKE ANY IN-GAME EQUIPMENT AND WEAPON. Just click "New Weapon" or "New Item", and go nuts. In order to make, as an example, an Infinity Pistol, you just need to choose the right weapon parts in the roll-down fields that comes up when you click "New Weapon".
 +
 +
NOTE: some parts MUST be there to make a specific weapon. In order to find out needed parts, find the weapon info on(as an example) BL2's wikia page. There are probably a billion websites that have this info, google it and you'll find boatloads of info. Also, remember to hit the sync button when you're done making the weapon/item, in order to get it to your level. If you don't do this, it will only be level 1 when you load the game.
 +
 +
    Bank: this is exactly the same as the "Backpack" tab, but for your vault in the Sanctuary HQ.
 +
 +
NOTE: Claptrap's Secret Stash items will NOT get affected by what you do in Gibbed's. You'll have to take items out of there and keep it in your inventory or in your HQ vault if you wanna mess with them.
 +
 +
    Raw: I have no experience with this tab, and don't know what happens if you screw around in there.
 +
 +
8: when you're done with going nuts and editing your stuff, click "Save", and choose to overwrite the pre-existing file. Close Gibbed's, and go back to BruteForce.
 +
 +
9: Click the "Refresh" button to the right of the save file location window. The info in the lower right part will change.
 +
 +
10: Click "Update PFD", and choose "Update PFD(full)" in the dropdown.
 +
 +
11: Click "Encrypt PFD", click Yes in the dialog box that pops up. Close BruteForce.
 +
 +
12: Move the "PS3" folder on your desktop back to the USB stick, and put the USB stick back in the PS3.
 +
 +
13: Go to "Saved Data Utility(PS3 TM)", open the USB stick, locate the save file and choose to copy it to the PS3. Choose to overwrite when you get asked if you really want to.
 +
 +
14: That's it! If you have done all things correctly, you now have better weapons and equipment when you start the game and continue your playing!
 +
 +
Have fun :)
 +
 +
== PS3-ID (EIDO or LV-2) IDPS ==
 +
 +
EID0 IDPS is directly read from the flash and always shows the REAL ID, no matter if you spoofed it or not.
 +
LV-2 IDPS uses syscall 870 (sys_ss_get_console_id) to obtain the current IDPS (which may be spoofed/changed by some app).
 +

Basically if everything with the firmware is ok and there are no IDPS spoofers both values must be identical.

Copy profile to usb... use keys... copy from usb...

You need to copy your Profile Data file only. Not your character save.

You put your profile data save on a USB, go use your keys, then reload your profile data from the USB back on to your PS3 and that's how you do it with a USB.

PS3-ID (EIDO or LV-2) IDPS

EID0 IDPS is directly read from the flash and always shows the REAL ID, no matter if you spoofed it or not. LV-2 IDPS uses syscall 870 (sys_ss_get_console_id) to obtain the current IDPS (which may be spoofed/changed by some app).

Basically if everything with the firmware is ok and there are no IDPS spoofers both values must be identical.
