CFW ONLY


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)


Occurrent:


• Trophy Modding Toolkit:

• HxD
    [URL="https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/"]Download HxD[/URL]


• 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:\.

You must login or register to view this content.




• 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.

You must login or register to view this content.




• 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:

You must login or register to view this content.


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.


You must login or register to view this content.


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.


You must login or register to view this content.


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.


• 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.

Huge thanks, im unable to decrypt 'auth ID need be 8 bytes' with provided global above? Cheers!

EDIT: '1010000001000003' perhaps? Seems to be working now, again thanks!

✪☢✪ STRAIGHT 2 THE TOP ✪☢✪
THIS IS JUST MY OPINION NOT A FIGHT:
The world did not end on the 21 of December like the Maya said but it end for playstation 3 videogamers.
The Cool difference between PS2 and PS3 was the addiction of trophies wich added a lot of playfulness, commitment, to achieve a goal, but there is no need anymore cause there are programs that do that for you.
Now a kid open up his ps3 do the trick, syncro his 20 platinum a day and say wow im the best, i did something nobody can do, im a genius, damn i can even go into space now!!!
It's all ruined. Let's talk about all the people who spended a lot of effort on trading platinums,hours of hours to get it,or to buy a platinum, how you feel now guys who bought stuff, looking at this tools,do you feel cheated? i bet yes.
We were better before when there was only XPLODER and GAME GENIE. Yes i know is cheating also but having a little help did not hurt a lot, some games are hard has sh...., but some smarty had to go farther and farther to make the damn money, the desire to prevail to be the champion has led others to want to understand how to do the trick. Now even a retarded child can become a level 90 and get to write: get on my level mother fuc... im the gangster That rule the world. That's an Epic Fail right there.
I hope Sony does something about it,will ban anyone who does that,me also i dont give a s... evenif i used only xploder to clean all up and start things over, but these retarded i think they don't care about it, they don't even know the meaning of the word "trophies" and will probably leave it like it is.

CONGRATULATIONS guys now you can be the best of the world of cheaters!!!! Yaaay!!! what a fealure -___-!!!
Im not against no one, wanna say that first, but if the world is going into piece even in videogames, its just our fault.
Piece out.

gotta agree, i hope sony do something about it now

even "legit" trophy hunters like hakoom, could use this method and you would never know. You can make completely legit plats with this method.

Do a barrel roll!
I like the fact that it's hard to cheat trophies currently like that. Otherwise everyone would be on it already. :p

Will jump into it tonight, just have to get a CFW on my recently purchased 3.55 PS3...

Hey Guyz I already get problems at step 4

When I put my folder name in TRNS TOOL (ex. NPWR00419_00 for Far Cry 2 ) He will give me 20 errors listening that says :

Error : Trophy PARAM. SFO Key needs to be 20 bytes.
Error : Trophys.dat Key needs to be 20 bytes.
Error : TrophyUSR.dar Key needs to be 20 bytes.
Error : Could not parse a global config file (error at line : 11)

He will gives me error for every files like you see and at the end it will say

TROPTRNS has been decrypted Succesfully.


Now when I open the troptrns in HxD editor, it will only show me bullshit like japanese stuff or things you cant read


Also when I open PDFTOOL, this will open for 1 sec and then shuts down immediatly?

I both agree and disagree with this post, I mean it was inevitably going to happen. I highly doubt $ony will address this problem either and as a community who enjoy hacking/modding/glitching etc. this is a very useful tool which to be fair you need half a brain to use anyway so I dont think everybody will be able to cash in on this. I do agree with the fact that it does negate the legit players who have spent countless hours obtaining platinum trophies and in terms of true gaming skill it completly destroys it.
