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)
• 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.

here you one with a 10 at the end:
Bronze: 04 00 00 10
but on the picture i can see that the 10 is 20.
Why is that, do i have to change it from 10 to 20 every time?
or can i just use the 10 to unlock all the trophies

For the ones I unlocked I used 10 and they sync'd fine.

Thats one place where original post has incorrect information. Trophy type is only first number, 01 - Plat .... 04 - Bronz. Number after that which is in some cases 10 and in some cases 20 means that the trophy is not synchronized yet and should be next time. 10 means that its a PSN account, 20 that its local account (not connected to PSN yet).
I really suggest people to be careful, because as we all know Sony doesn't care about trophies, but believe me, when they can detect trophy hacking they more than likely will start banning.

For all of those who have received errors during sync - you have modified the file incorrectly. For all of those who sync fine but trophies still don't show. Your file synchronization time is older than last sync and PS3 thinks that the file is synced already.

so it's best to leave it as 00 and letting the psn sync do it all right?

No, if you are hacking trophies on an account that has not been connected to PSN, then leave it 20, if the account is connected to PSN, has PSN information in 2nd Section (HEX 0F0 - 13F) then leave it 10.
But once again, if I worked for Sony I could detect everyone who are hacking their trophies by following this guide. I'm sure Sony people have even more information, so be careful and don't be surprised when you get banned.

hey do you think the reason my mass effect instant plat does not show on my profile? i used this one here:
You must login or register to view this content.
it can never sync no matter how many times i tried. how can that be fixed? and so far 2 other games are not showing my trophies on my profile and those are DMC and far cry 3. they just dont sync up but hey show on my xmb. what gives? for dmc and fc3 i was playing legit when trophies popped. Mass effect was well an instant plat. any ideas?

I never used someone else's files. I also have always modified both TROPTRNS.DAT and TROPUSR.DAT. Which is correct way how the trophies naturally unlock but might not be needed based on this thread. 2 things I know though, when you get error while syncing it means that you have corrupt file. Finding the error is really hard. It might be that you changed incorrect location, entered incorrect value, tried to unlock Plat trophy with older date than any other trophy etc). When sync doesn't fail but trophies still don't get uploaded to PSN it usually means that the file was not even checked as the date is older than the last sync time. There might be million other things that we are not aware of. PSN maintenance in Europe might have implemented some new checks that were not in place - we don't know.
But what I do know is that following this guide (and probably all apps that are out there that unlock trophies) are detectable by Sony. They all do something that doesn't happen when you unlock trophies naturally. Sony has been really quiet lately and maybe they have moved all their attention to PS4. They have never cared about trophy hacking. But they have banned people in the past that have cheated or pirated so I would not be surprised when they start to ban people who hack trophies like that.
I myself don't care about trophies anymore. Kind of feel stupid that I spent 80+ hours boosting Far Cry 2. When I managed to sync up my trophies without even playing the game I decided that I should never spend any time on them.
