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

• 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:

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.

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.

can someone tell me what they mean bytes, block and print and what do i do with TROPCONF.SFM, is it normal that the numbers shown for bronze, silver, etc... are different for every game on hex? where are the rest of the trophie numbers?

i can't see any number that is mention in the pictures like the trophy hex code isn't 00 40 00 10 but some random letters and numbers

can't someone make a program or GUI (as i believe its called) that could do this all without hex editing?

Your question is rather confusing and I'm not sure you really understand what you're doing here, but I'll attempt to explain it how I understand it.

Tropconf.sfm
You can open tropconf.sfm in notepad++ or something similar to check what type of trophy each id is.

If it says something like this:

Originally posted by another user
<trophy id="003" hidden="yes" ttype="B" pid="000">


It's saying that trophy 03 is bronze. So when you put that in your profile you would put in 04 00 00 10.

The tropconf file just helps you make sure you match each trophy id with the correct type. It will not sync properly if you say trophy 03 is platinum as it obviously isn't.

Hex Editing troptrans.dat
The trophy numbers for each game in the troptrns.dat file should either be the same or non-existent(since they haven't been unlocked) until you edit them in. They shouldn't be different or random numbers. If you could provide a screenshot of what you're experiencing I could try and help.

Program
I'm sure (I know) some people have already made nice programs that you simply drag and drop your folder into and it decrypts your file, unlocks all your trophies, then encrypts it again for you. The problem is I highly doubt these people would happily give their work away for free.

There's money to be made in unlocking trophies and whilst that is the case I doubt it will be released for free. You could probably buy it somewhere but honestly, manually unlocking them isn't all that hard. I'd say, either learn how to do it this way(it's not really all that hard), look for somewhere to purchase a program, or forget about hacking trophies for the time being. Someone will leak one of the auto tools, it just might not be anytime soon.

in your screenshot the numbers are mostly between 0 and 1 and some random letters.
i'm trying to hack the trophies of assassin's creed 2, but when i open it with HxD and go to offset: 357 it all a bunt of random numbers and letters is this normal or did is it because it's not decrypte right?

Haxor!
Edit: i've made a little mistake, fixing it to see if it solves my issue.
