hey i was able to extract the file but how do i use vfdecrypt i figured out that i have to use command prompt but how do i input the command to decrypt the root?
/path/to/vfdecrypt -i path_to_encrypted_dmg -o decrypted_dmg_name -k rootfs_keyQuote:

iso_name can be mounted with whatever tool you want. In Linux, just use (as root):
mount -t hfsplus -o loop,ro,offset=0x9000 iso_name mountpoint
ok so i was able to decrypt the .dmg but I am having two problems, i downloaded transmac and when i try to open it it tells me No Mac HFS volumes found, and when I try converting it using dmg2img it tells me the dmg file is corrupted
any help is still appreciatied
Perhaps you used the wrong key? The first bytes of a (correctly) decrypted rootfs should read: 78 01 73 ... in a hex viewer/editor.
hey you were right, i was using the wrong key :woz:
thanks for the help really appreciate it :)
