I am able to load and save all the savegames I possess in WT# and all of them pass byte-verification after doing so except Xbox 360 saves which I'm unable to use byte-verification on due to their package format. Xbox 360 saves have the same internal format as PS3 saves so usually when PS3 saves work they will work too unless there is a bug in the package creation step.
If you cannot save a WSG then there's a few possibilities:
1) You may be trying to write to a file or folder you don't have write access to. Try using the Save As button and choose a folder you know you have write access to like your My Documents folder. Try to save to a new file name to make sure the problem is not that the file already exists and is opened by another program.
2) Your disk may be out of free space. WillowTree# can't write a file if the disk is full already. Make space and try again.
3) WillowTree# may not able to read or write its internal data files which are in the <WillowTree folder>\Data and <WillowTree folder>\Data\Xml folders. You wouldn't have been able to even load the file if this was the case, so it probably isn't the case unless you changed the folder permissions in the middle of running WT#.
4) There could be some previously unknown problem with the code that builds the Xbox 360 package from your savegame file. To test this, load the save then save it in PS3 format by selecting Change Save Format->PS3 from the file open menu then clicking Save As and typing in the new name "SaveGame.sav" (without the quotes). If this step fails then continue to step #5 below. Use Modio to replace the SaveGame.sav in your original Xbox 360 file (usually Save00001.sav). To do that start Modio, click the folder icon at the top and pick your Xbox save file. A box will open showing your Xbox ID and giving various options. In that box select the tab that says File Contents. There you right click SaveGame.sav and select replace file. Click back on the General File Info tab and push the button that says Resign and Rehash. If the resulting file now works in your Xbox then there is an issue with the Xbox packaging code. Please report such an issue to us along with a copy of your SaveGame.sav file if you want us to try to resolve it.
5) If none of the previous was your problem then WT# has a bug translating a particular bit of information unique to your savegame. If this is the problem then I have to analyze your savegame file to figure out what it is. I can't help you unless you provide a copy of the savegame file because apparently none of the savegame files I have contain the information that is causing WT# to fail on yours. It has been noted that Xbox savegames have the Xbox profile ID and machine ID and some users are concerned about sharing this information. You may use Modio to extract the SaveGame.sav from your Xbox package file and submit that for analysis to keep your profile ID and machine ID private. If you post your Xbox savegame on the forum everyone will have access to it. Sending it to me in an attachment or link directly at matt911@users.sf.net will provide a great deal more privacy for your data, but if you don't care about that you can post a link on the forum or upload the file as an attachment to a Tracker bug report.
I have fixed 100% of all loading and saving bugs where I was provided a savegame file to work with. If you don't want to provide a savegame file for whatever reason then there is a good chance your problem won't get resolved. At the very least you need to give me some clues about what might be uncommon about your savegame or your system that may be different from mine. I use Windows XP SP3 (English) with Borderlands 2.41 (English). If you aren't using the English versions please point this out because it is important. If you aren't using Windows XP, tell me what version of Windows you are using. If your character has some special equipment and now it doesn't work, but it worked before that then tell me what it is.

There is a known issue that will cause saving to fail if your savegame is located in a folder path that includes a folder named "Data". If you have this problem then you should put your savegame in another path that does not have any folders called "Data" and it should work.
Otherwise if you can open the file in WT# but cannot save it then you would have to email me a link to download it or attach a copy of it to an email and send it to me at matt911@users.sf.net so I can take a look and figure out exactly what the issue is.

I opened your save with WillowTree# 2.2.1.102 then saved it again and I had no problem doing so. I don't have an Xbox 360 so I converted it to PC format and loaded it fine in Borderlands as well. I also opened your save with Modio and had no problem extracting the SaveGame.sav out of it. You must be having some issue with improper installation. There is nothing wrong with your save.
Make sure your WillowTree# installation folder has a "Data" subfolder with WT#'s data files in it from the zip archive. Usually you just unzip the archive all to one folder and run WT from that folder.
It is possible that you could have a full hard drive with no space for a save, but I suspect your machine would not operate properly if that were the case.
There is a known issue where you cannot put either the .sav file or the WillowTree# executable in a folder that is named "Data" or has a parent folder named "Data", so make sure you are not doing that.
Another possible issue is that you are putting your saves or WT# into a folder that you do not have write access to. WT# stores data files in its folder and if it can't write to them it cannot save. To be sure that WillowTree# has proper write access to its folder you may try to install it in a subfolder of your desktop or My Documents folder since most users should have write access to their own desktop and My Documents folder and and subfolders.
Looking at the weapons in your save I will warn you that WT# 2.2.1.102 does not properly edit Scorpio weapons. It will corrupt the levels on them if you try to edit them, but if you load a save that contains them and you do not edit them they will be ok. When you export them to the locker, the locker won't contain the level so when you import them back into a save the level will not be right. Scorpio weapons store the quality in the level index slot and the level index in the quality slot and WT# 2.2.1.102 has no logic to switch them. That means it will truncate the level at 5 instead of 69 because the qualitiy slider only goes up to 5.
The latest version of WT# in the uichange branch of the SVN archive can edit Scorpio weapons, but it is a work in progress. You would have to have Visual C# Express 2010 installed to compile it yourself and you would have to have an SVN client like TortoiseSVN installed to fetch the source code. There is no precompiled release version with this code yet. As I've had a lot of difficulty developing it that are actually unrelated to WT# code and instead related to a lot of bugs in Windows Forms I haven't gotten it yet to a state that I feel comfortable making a release version with it yet. I don't know when I will.

WinRAR does basically the same thing as WinZip, Zip, JZip, and so on. It should be able to extract te files properly. Yes, the files in the Data folder are a large number of .TXT files and a few other files. If they are there then the problem is that you don't have access to write to the folder probably.
Did you try to make a subfolder on your desktop or in your My Documents folder and unzip WT# there? Especially on Windows Vista the user does not have access to write to a lot of folders, such as subfolders to the Program Files folder. You would have to run WT# as Administrator if you install it in Program Files on Windows Vista.

Ok, I made a new folder in My Documents and saved the WillowTree file to the new folder. When I open the new folder it shows a picture of three books bound togeather by a belt, or something like that. Then I double clicked it and a window opened called WillowTree#-2.2.1.102.zip-WinRAR(evaluation copy) In the window it has four items; data folder, DevComponents.DotNetBar2.dll, WillowTree#.exe, and X360.dll in that order. Then I click the ne that says WillowTree#.exe and WillowTree comes up. Then I open USB Xtaf Xplorer v44 from my USB and open the device selector and open my gamesave. Then I extract my save to a new folder in the desktop. Then I open the save in WillowTree from the desktop folder. Then I push save as and save it to the folder on the desktop and a box comes up and it says that the file already exists and asks me if i want to replace it. I push Yes and another box comes up and it says "Couldn't save WSG". I do all of this on a COMPAQ laptop. Is there anything wrong with what I have been doing?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I would bet that the problem is caused by you trying to save the file while XTAF explorer still has a handle to the file open. Are you closing XTAF explorer after you use it to extract your savegame file? WT# can't write to a file that is opened by another program already. No program can. Did you try to save it to another file name instead of over top of itself? That would make sure that the problem isn't that another program has the file open already, but the file would have to be renamed to the original before you put it back onto your USB disk to have it work properly.
Modify your savegame how? I told you I have no problem opening it and it is not corrupt. What would you like to do to modify it? I'm sure I could do it if you tell me what you are trying to modify.

Well, all I really wanted was like 5000 backpack space, so if you could do that and any other special things that you might want to add, (like getting rid of all those extra skill pionts that i cant use or adding and/or making cool weapons) and then send me my gamesave back to me attached to an email, then that would be really awsome of you!

I did not think of closing the xtaf window, just tried it and it still does not save thhe WSG… I'm sorry if this sounds unbelievable. I'd think so if I were you. I just do not know whats wrong. I've just got back into playing borderlands on the XBOX beause as you may or may not know, someone hacked into PlayStation Network so PlayStation is building it back up from zero. Right now my PS3 is pretty much usless, or at least the online play, friends list, and chat rooms are.

In the email you sent me, it said that you couldn't see how i could have all of that stuff on the gamesave without using willowtree. I have never been able to save my things on willowtree. I got my backpack to increase by selling a shield called the Ironclad over and over again. For my inventory space to increase, I had to be host of a game and sell it a bunch of times. Lets say that I have 200 items in my backpack. I would have to sell the Ironclad 201 times to gain one inventory space, and every time that I left the game and started a new lobby, i would have to start over and sell the shield over 201 times to gain more inventory, and you dont keep any extra space when you leave the lobby. I got the extra weapon slots and skill points from a friend of mine who modded his account and was able to drop them from his inventory. I still dont know how he did that. I even asked him to mod my save by giving him my gamer ID and letting him download my account. But when he got my profile on his xbox, he only had the profile part. No gamesaves. But anyway, thank you for modding my save, you were a real help!

i fixed it apparently the program was set to xbox360 not pc so i change it and it worked :)
it wouldnt save ny WSG so I tried to open my game save on modio like you said on No.4 but it wouldnt let me do that either. What can i do??

well im not what you would call a "computer guru"…
