Note: consoleid in global.conf can be all "00" , so enter the "00" byte 16 times for it to work (32 0 total)

This is basically the method to hack every trophy on Playstation 3, from editing the TROPTRNS.DAT, the file that is installed, everytime you run a game, and it's basically the files that actually stores the trophy status and unlock date.
Difference between TROPTRNS.DAT and TROPUSR.DAT
The difference between the two files is:
• TROPTRNS.DAT: Actually stores trophy unlocks and status
• TROPUSR.DAT: Stores trophy timestamps and displays them in the trophy collection (XMB)
• TROPUSR.DAT: Stores trophy timestamps and displays them in the trophy collection (XMB)
Occurrent:
• Trophy Modding Toolkit:

• HxD

• Ps3 Timestamp Generator
[URL="https://www.mediafire.com/download.php?1nked1p1p9lp5ix"]Download Ps3 Timestamp Generator[/URL]
Steps:
• Step 1: Download the folder and modify the global.conf as stated. (New update includes already made global.conf)
• Step 2: Take your NPWR0XXXX_00 from your Ps3 (dev_hdd0/home/000000XX/trophy/)
• Step 3: Put your NPWR Folder in (C:\) in your Computer.
• Step 4: Open TRNS Tool.exe , and input "d" to decrypt, then you will be asked to insert you NPWR folder name, stored in C:\.
• Step 5: Now your TROPTRNS.DAT will be decrypted. Open it in HxD and look for Offset 0x2C0, this is the trophy installation date , you will se two timestamps, first timestamps is Block 2C1-2C7, second is block 2C9-2CF , as you can see each timestamps is composed by 7 bytes. You do not need to modify these timestamps.
• Step 6: First trophy is block 340-3EF , to unlock it you are going to change these bytes:
• Offset: 357 is the status, for each trophy block , the status is located at second line, seventh coloumn. To unlock the trophy, change it to "02" , it means the trophy is unlocked
• Offset: 373 is the trophy id, you can see id's in the TROPCONF.SFM file, stored in the NPWR folder, the first trophy in the Hex (first block) is going to be the 2nd trophy cause the Platinum is going to be the last one with id "00" , to set the id at Offset 373, just copy the byte that is over this one example:
• Offset: 373 is the trophy id, you can see id's in the TROPCONF.SFM file, stored in the NPWR folder, the first trophy in the Hex (first block) is going to be the 2nd trophy cause the Platinum is going to be the last one with id "00" , to set the id at Offset 373, just copy the byte that is over this one example:
• Block: 377-37A is the trophy type, its gonna be:
[LEFT]Bronze: 04 00 00 10[/LEFT] [LEFT]Silver: 03 00 00 10[/LEFT] [LEFT]Gold: 02 00 00 10[/LEFT] [LEFT]Platinum: 01 00 00 10[/LEFT]
Now you will have to look at TROPCONF.SFM and see which trophy has the ID you set and print the bytes for the trophy type. You can do the same thing since copying the byte that is over.
• Offset: 380 Here you will have to print your 2 timestamps. In a legit earned TROPTRNS.DAT the 2 timestamps are different (milliseconds difference) , but now you can put the same for both entries, so generate it with Ps3 timestamp generator and paste it. See Step 5 for positions and blocks.
• Each Trophy Block starts with:
00 00 00 04 00 00 00 A0 00 00 00 ID 00 00 00 00
and ends with:
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
• Step 7: First trophy is unlocked. Now repeat this action for all trophies. Then look for these positions:
• Offset: 110 Here is stored your Sen ID , if you're using a TROPTRNS.DAT from a user where you already did access Sen, there will be bytes with your sen ID, otherwise they will be nulled.
• Offset: 167 Here is stored the number of total entries, to determinate this, you will have to insert the number of trophies you unlocked , +1 , for example: You unlocked 51 trophies. In Hex: 51 = 33. So you will put 34.
• Offset: 167 Here is stored the number of total entries, to determinate this, you will have to insert the number of trophies you unlocked , +1 , for example: You unlocked 51 trophies. In Hex: 51 = 33. So you will put 34.
• Step 8: To unlock the platinum trophy or the one with ID 00 (Games without plat) , you will have to insert it at the end, as last trophy.
• Step 9: When you're done editing your TROPTRNS.DAT, save it and open TROPTRNS Tool.exe again, input "e" and your NPWR Folder. Upload it to your Ps3 , log in your SEN account and Sync the trophies.
FAQ:
Q: Your tool is not working for me, how can i fix it?
A: If my tool is not working for you just use these commands on pfdtool to decrypt:
Encryption: -g NPWR*****_00 -e (your Path) TROPTRNS.DAT
Decryption: -g NPWR*****_00 -d (your Path) TROPTRNS.DAT
Q: Timestamp generator wont generate my hex value, what can i do?
A: Make sure you did add all values in textboxes.

And so I decided to downgrade a friend's console firmware and start getting my own plats. I even made a Java routine to generate legit timestamps and all the hex code that must be inserted into TROPTRNS.DAT.
With all newly acquired knowledge and a lot of trial-and-error practice, I can confirm what follows:
(1) The first timestamp of a unblocked trophy is rounded up on seconds field (thanks to cheetahh for pointing that)
Example (taken from a legit earned trophy):
first timestamp - E1 A4 2C 71 C2 B6 80 - 17/08/2013 23:55:54:000 UTC
second timestamp - E1 A4 2C 71 BB 7E D8 - 17/08/2013 23:55:53:527 UTC
My routine generate timestamps this way and it's been working well so far.
(2) You definetely CAN overwrite timestamps already synched with PSN if they're a previous date (thanks for PounDJo0DoGz0r for pointing that)
I've made it myself. But I can't assure this works every time and for every game...
I think this is a controversial matter and I was personally interested on it. But I do encourage you to try it yourself and let us know if it worked (or didn't) and in which game.
(3) PSN sync error messages
When I was doing my first trials on synching, I kept getting error 80022D88 and, no matter what I did, it wouldn't ever work. My best guess is that this must have something to do with the process of encrypting/decrypting TROPTRNS.DAT. I was working on a Linux machine using wine to run 'pfdtool.exe'. Everything seemed to work ok, but I couldn't syncronize at all. When I moved back to Windows, I had success.
Another error I still keep getting is 80022D68 and I've had to repeat synchronization several times to get it to work. Sometimes I couldn't even reach 100% sync but the trophies were sync'd anyway... I can confirm that by checking my PSN profile on 'playstation.com'. After a troubled sync, when I delete the user from PS3 and create a new one, everything gets back to normal.
Ok, so that's my little personal experience and maybe this could help somebody.
I'd like to thank you all for helping in a way or another, mostly xSonoro, cheetahh and DEREKTROTTER.

Have you ever experienced error "80120003"? I keep getting this on GTA V using Ps3TrophyIsGood tool.

TBH, I never got that error.
But I'll tell you what I've learned since my last post.
Let's say you want to sync 'FIFA 14' for instance (it works for any game):
1 - Delete you previous user on PS3
2 - Create a fresh user on PS3
3 - Put you PSN account details on the new user
4 - Sync your trophies (you'll get all your pre existing trophies)
5 - Start 'FIFA 14' to generate a fresh trophy dir and get a clean TROPTRNS.DAT
6 - Make all steps described on first post to generate a modified TROPTRNS.DAT and put it back on PS3
7 - When you're done, run 'FIFA 14' again and check XMB to see if you got 100%
8 - Leave to XMB and now you can sync your just earned trophies
This step-by-step has been working nicely for me.
I eventually get 80022D68 error towards the end of synchronization, but everything always works fine!
If you want to sync another game, move back to step 1 and repeat every step again.
Hope it helps you.

I managed to Sync GTA 5 after loading the game right up as you described after replacing files. Somehow I can't Sync trophies for RE5 Gold Edition. No matter what I do, if I do as you described the game tells me the trophies are corrupted and ask to reinstall. If I go straight it gives me error and Syncs 0%. =\

Is it because of the firmware I'm on? Does it need to be lower like 3.55?
