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

• 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.

It's built in. Just connect to your PS3 after it loads. Also make sure you're selecting the right user on your PS3. You may be selecting one that doesn't have trophy data.

Thanks for all your help DT, you're the only person replying so might I ask you this somewhat simple question? 04 00 00 10 = bronze or 04 00 00 20 = bronze? OP says 04 00 00 10 is bronze in text, but in all of his screenshots he has 04 00 00 20. Thanks so much in advance! This is the last step I am confused about before I attempt to upload my TROPTRNS and sync Smile

i believe that everyone needs to accept the fact that games adn consoles are all able to be hacked nothing in this world cannot be hacked we have 2 sides in this world the legitimate gamers and the modders and if the legitimate gamers have a problem with this then first of all they shouldnt even be on this site i mean people with high reputations here complaining about it is odd u know what this site is look in the forums look at the stuff we do and speak about here if you dont like it gto dude ! i love this site and i love the community everyone is really nice well almost lol anyways thanks soo much for releasing this method man its amazing peace!

ok thanks, so what do we do with that hex then. i seen in your pic that it goes from 01,02,03 in each trohpy set. if im starting from the remainder trophies at 42, what do i put in this hex? of just start from 01 with trophy ID 42, 02 for ID 43, and so on? i encrypted my file and i noticed it did something extra something along the lines of troptrns.dat.....ok seen it like 2 or 3 times and that other trop folder were sayng ok as well. what shows in tyhat program that you are encrypting it back correct. before it would just go real qucik saying it encrypted successfully, but this time it said extra stuff with ok and successfully encrypted. i go sync, nothing and then i didnt see kz2 in my game list on xmb. oh man, this is stressful.

can i use all the hexes u have in this pic for mine, except just put ID 42 where u showed me on the other pic? would that be all i need to do, 42,43,44, and so on in the correct line but keep everything else u put as mine?

This is my Command.
pfdtool -g NPWR02059_00 -d C:\Users\Westside98\pfdtool.exe>NPWR1348_00>TROPTRNS.DAT.

but when i try to decrypt the file in the TROPTRNS.DAT it says Error: Decrypt command needs input files!

Well after spending nearly 5 hours hex editing my troptrns, I re-encrypted ftp, and synced but no progress was made. I was using the EA Create, and I attempted to make all of my timestamps look legit. I made sure each trophy had the correct grade (bronze, silver, etc...) everything seemed to be right in place. When I got to the end and had to enter how many trophies I was uploading I put 32 (50 trophies in the game). I know I mustve have made one tiny little mistake somewhere but don't know where it is. What an incredibily frustrating time! What could've possibly gone wrong! /rant
