Found a strange thing
When extracting the X360 save with Xtaf and do the editing from HDD instead of directly from USB the failed to save error does not occur.
One thing tho, when trying to inject the save back into USB it gives a "file already exist" even when deleted.
So delete the folder and add 465307E4->00000001 and inject the file
Maybe something to look into Jappi?
Works fine for me.....but:
How to fix Corrupt Xbox 360 Saves!
Here is a tutorial on how to restore your corrupted save (possibly might not work in all cases).
I only know this process for Xbox 360, If anyone has a suggestion for PS3 or PC other than back-ups be sure to let me know and I’ll update the post with that info.
Things you’ll need:
* Flash Drive/USB Stick with at least 1gb of space
* A Computer
* Horizon https://www.horizonmb.com/download
The Process:
1. Plug your Flash Drive/USB Stick with at least 1gb of space into your Xbox and navigate to System Settings > Storage > Your Flash Drive. Then format it for Xbox 360 storage.
2. Next MOVE your save onto the flash drive and then plug it into your computer.
3. Install Horizon
4. Once Installed and launched your screen will look like this:

5. Next click on Games then Dark Souls II. You should then see this:

6. Drag SAVE DATA onto your desktop (This is your Back-Up save incase anything goes wrong), Then delete the save in Horizon by right-clicking and selecting Delete
7. Go back to your Xbox with the Flash Drive and create a new save of Dark Souls 2 and then create as many new characters that you had on your backup that you want to keep (this character needs only to start the game nothing else)
8. Back to the Computer, navigate the same path as before but instead of dragging it to the desktop double-click on it and a window will pop up in the center like this and move this window to the right:

9. Click on Contents if any of the of USER_DATA01 to USER_DATA0a files have way less than 108.70 KB in the size column then that character can not be saved
10. Now drag the file from the desktop into Horizon then move that window to the left:

11. Click on “Contents” of the backup and you will see a list of USER_DATA files (Your save depending on the slot will be one of these)
12. If the save you want to recover is in Slot One (as in the first save when you select Continue) you need to right-click and extract USER_DATA01 and USER_DATA0b to somewhere you can remember. Do this for any other characters you may want to keep going up a number and letter for each character.
a. USER_DATA02 and USER_DATA0c for Slot Two and so on
13. Click on “Contents” of the Double-clicked save and you will see a list of USER_DATA files. You need to replace the files of the Double-clicked save with the Back-Up save files.
14. For Slot One right-click on USER_DATA01 and replace it with the one from the back up. Do the same with the USER_DATA0b file and any other files you may have extracted.
15. Once finished click on Save, Rehash, and Resign of the Double-clicked save
16. Unplug your Flash Drive, and plug it into the Xbox load up Dark Souls 2 select the flash drive then the slot you want to load. Don’t worry that it shows no name and a Level 1 character once loaded, if it worked those things will reappear.
any idea as to when dlc items will be added ? sorry if this seems rude.
Confirmed using horizon to transfer works! Everything works online and all is heaven. Note that i used a save before starting the dlc. When i loaded the new moded save i recieved the dragon talon so i can start the dlc. (I bought the dlc - not added via SE). Also u will get the cant save msg once but after that all is well. I trnsfered the save on the xbox hdd now and all is perfect. Thanks all and ofc great work jappi
Also just make sure horizon transfers the file as 14.something megs so it would stae 15megs save file in the dashboard then ur set. Reason for this, i think, is that the oficial save is 15megs ;)
Happy days!
