This guide is for people on 3.55 CFW

This will allow to keep your trophies if you want to upgrade your HDD or get another PS3 (on 3.55)

The instructions below are for people with 2 PS3's (on 3.55 CFW)

You must already have your account & gamesaves restored on your other PS3 using the Backup Data Utility.

• Start Blackbox v1.2, then start your PC's ftp server.
  
• Go to /dev_hdd0/home/your user id/
  
• Copy the trophy folder inside to your PC
  
• Turn off your PS3, then turn on & start Blackbox on your OTHER PS3 and the ftp server on your PC.
  
• Go to /dev_hdd0/home/your user id/ again and overwrite the trophy folder with the one you backed up to your PC
  
• Turn off the ps3. Turn it back on, but instead of booting it normally, go to the Recovery Menu.
  
• Select Rebuild Database, then the ps3 will reboot afterwards.
  
• Check out your Trophy Collection and all of your trophies will be there!
  

The instructions below are for people upgrading to a bigger HDD

Just remember to backup your data first.

I tried this method a few hours ago before writing this tutorial.
I can confirm that this definitely works :y:


...and thanks :carling:

Did you already try and got it working?
People aren't likely to try doing this unless someone other than myself can confirm that this works.

hmmm i dont think they will sync tho good tutorial btw

this is a good tut but what about the guys with 1 ps3 @cfw 3.55 and 1 ps3 @ ofw 3.60 how can they get the trophies from the 3.55 to 3.60 ps3?

They will sync if you backup & restore your account using the Backup data Utility. If you just ftp over your user id folder to another ps3/hdd, then your trophies won't sync or even show up in the xmb. Hell, your gamesaves won't even show up if you do it like that.
I knew someone was going to ask that question :cry:

As of right now, I have no idea. If you could use a ftp server on 3.60, then getting your trophies back would be easy. But I will look for a solution to this problem. I'll be sure to tell you when I figure this out.

Yeah this ^ is what I am trying to work out to. I have tried loads of save editing to even just be able to earn the trophies again, but with no luck. I thought I could just take a save off my OFW and put it on my CFW and edit it with multiman and the put it back on my peg and it would work.

Hang on.... I have been edit the save every way possible, will it work if I just edit the save in CFW to exploit it and the just copy the whole save over, like I had a new ps3? Don't know why on earth I didnt try that.

Will try that when back after working away

hmmm if only i could get my trophies over to another ps3 and sync em that way then i wouldent have to update
