Has anyone on here actually used the Garlic Save manager to reassign a game from one user id to another?
If so, can you write up the steps as i kjust can't get it working.... Oh the network error thing got figured out by the way...

Do you still have your ps4? The way I did it was to grab my legit account ID, which tbh is easier to get with the ps4, but can be done without one. Used OffAct to make my local ps5 account think it's my legit account, then transferred the files over via ftp since my ps5 isn't activated.

This was long before all these new homebrews came out btw. It definitely worked on the ps4 too, because I had legit saves from my legit ps4 that I transferred to my hacked ps4 before selling it, by fake activating the local ps4 account in the same way.

So when I had an all legit ps5, I had the fake signed ps4 account matched up in that way, so I could transfer the saves to my legit ps5 using the official menus.

Sorry if that was long winded, but I guess I'm just saying that if you still have your ps4, or at least know your account ID, you shouldn't need to resign the saves.

Just make sure the ID matches with OffAct, even if you need to make a new local user for it to prevent messing up any current saves on your ps5 that aren't already using the account ID.

Yes. If your criteria is for example downloading a save that contains another user ID and then resign it to your own account ID.

You all will laugh your heads off when i tell you how i figured out why the network error was happening.... It was down to one simple stupid blonde thing i did... And i mean soooo stupid it was noddy!!

The account id!! When you reassign the account id make sure you only copy and paste the numbers to the right of the 0x. If you cut and paste the whole id it truncates the last 2 digits and causes a network error!! So bloody stupid!

Anyway, enough of my silly antics... Going back to the topic of trying to reassign a file...

1. So i look on the browse list and i see a GOW save assigned to user 1. I click on it and it says in the terminal the save is mounted
2. The next step, i assume is to download the encrypted save to your pc using the blue button 'download encrypted'
3. The next step, i assume is to click the resign button and it asks for the user id and the location of the encrypted file (from step 1 above)
4. It creates a new encrypted file with a resssigned tag but this is on your laptop.
5. So why does this file not get uploaded back to the console?

Some of the above steps are wrong i hazard to guess?

I was going to mention something about checking the id for mistakes. I made a mistake many times in the first offact attempts. I forgot it was case sensitive and kept typing an m instead of an M.
I also remembered the equals sign was part of it but didn't think that was an issue because that's like the tech support default "did you check to make sure it's plugged in" routine. I assumed you'd already considered it.

Yeah i'm not getting that JSON error message. I have been asked to look if it popped-up. In my case no. In other cases: yes.
There seems to be a mounting problem with the PS5 saves. Apper. all have these issues now. So there will be a fix.

The new Shadowmountplus with automatic kstuff pause and the new kstuff-lite have been released.

How did you actually reassign saves to another user id... using the previous version? Am i missing out some steps above?

Are you talking about the user ID or Account ID?

The Account ID = the primary ID. The user ID can vary. A system can have x user ID's I guess like user 1 or user 2. I just re-assigned with my Account ID since I have 1 user.

BobaFett_UK · Mar 11, 2026

Oh sorry, i'm talking about the account id which is that long number... it's been a long day!

The thing i want to know is how to assign a game from say user1 to user 2 both of which have unique account id's. A save game is locked to a user's account id.

I have 2 user id's just fyi

Well three if you include my other console as one is a japanese account id (don't ask lol)

EDIT: Mr Onion has pulled v 1.4 coz of the issues with it for the moment..

1.4 has an additional window where you can put yout user ID in, based on the same account ID. I need to do some further testing, but due to some issues 1.4 has been pulled (for now). I don't know if the extra window is present in version 1.3. I did not test it.

Hahaha. I have one of those Japanese accounts too. I got the demos while I could and have been playing around with the lua loader to see what I can do with it. I made it hang up and had to press the power button to get it to go into rest mode and got an error code on waking it but that read probably due to it running for nearly 24 hours. As for your account resigning, it has been done in a few ways and I'm sure if you look hard enough you can find tutorials on it. Some of the methods for the ps4 saves is to use either appolo save tool, pay for the save wizard tool, or have a Discord server bot do it for you. As for the ps5 saves there was a mounter tool for jailbroken ps5s that allowed the extraction of the decrypted save files that could be edited somehow. Someone is working on it.

Oh i know of the PS4 apollo save tool. I used that for my LUA game back in the day when Hamadashi was all the rage before y2jb... Still ain't finished play that game just FYI....

I did reassign the ps4 version of Ragnarok to a new user id i recall when i moved over to my pro from my phat console... It was actually Michael C who had the best tutorial on how to use Apollo...

I transfered my ps4 save data of Ragnarok from my offline activated ps4 to my psn ps5 and used that data on my ps5 copy and all the trophies unlocked as soon as I loaded the data, but only a few them were notified.
