I like anteaters
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.

everytime i pas up til 10 you see a number and a code, is this a trophy to and does it needs to be modified?
also is it weird that the timestamp set is different on the xmb?
e.g. is set the timestamp on 12 o'clock but it changed into something else

Do a barrel roll!
I try to explain how those files work. TROPUSR.DAT has 10 sections in it and this file should be pretty much the same from console to console. So if you have more than 1 console and both have synced to PSN they are almost identical.
This does not apply to TROPTRNS.DAT. This file is basically a transaction log of all trophies earned on that specific console. So if you create a new account and sync up your trophies, these files are still empty (what I mean by that is you don't have list of trophies in that file). When you start to earn your trophies they will be appended to that file. Not sure if Sony checks it but legit files have trophies in correct order in that file. Those that are earned later are further down in the list. Plat should be the last non DLC trophy in that list. Usually 1-2 sec after the one before it.
Why I suggested to remove NPW... folder, start the game and let it error out and create new empty TROPTRNS.DAT file. This process will give you a correct file where section 2 has correct PSN information and section 3 has correct checksums in place + the creation date is later than your last sync.
This guide assumes that TROPUSR.DAT has nothing to do with the PSN - which is incorrect. When you read the header section at 0x0127-0x0128 you can find the beginning of section 7 in that file. I call this block "Last Sync information". The block is 5 rows and it has the timestamp for last sync. It also has the information about how many trophies you have unlocked + 1 and how many of them are synced to PSN. Section 5 (location can be tracked from header - address 0x0107-0x0108. I call this block "Sync details". This has information about the file creation and modification dates, last trophy date, unlock count, progress and checksum (this is only changed by server after sync, not when you earn trophies). Also there a section for PSN account - this can be found from header address 0x0067-0x0068. Its 4 rows and has hash of your PSN account. Not sure what algorithm is used for the hash but this will stay the same no matter what console you are on or whats your account_id. Also every trophy information block (those can be located from the header address 0x0147-0x014
has information if the trophy is synced to PSN already or not.
So TROPUSR.DAT does have a lot of information about PSN in it, but based on this thread it seems that it doesn't check it or if it does, it doesn't to it in every situation. Maybe some of the errors people receive are because those files are out of sync.
If you don't want to bother yourself with all those details and only thing you care is unlock some trophies the safest bet is to remove NPW folder for that game, start game - fail out, start again - earn 1 trophy and then start modifying TROPTRNS.DAT file. Add only those trohies to that file that you want to earn (better do that in the correct order, so those with newer timestamps are at the bottom). Modify the unlock count (which is trophies you want to earn + 1 as the first block with transaction id 00 is the TROPUSR.DAT file timestamp) and it should sync.

The row you pasted here is TROPTRNS.DAT file header for trophy block. My earlier post explained it a little. The value 1c means that its the 29th block in the list. Use windows calc to convert hex values to dec. 1c should be 28 I think, as the counting begins from 00, it means that what you are trying to do is add 28 trophy to your transaction log.
Dates are in GMT if I remember correctly so you have to add or subtract hours from it if you want to get it local time. Thats how people can compare who earned the trophy first.

I think Sony bann CFW if they are logged into PSN. Also when you sync quickly only trophies online.

Sony either doesn't ban CFW or they can't detect it. History has shown that they have banned people who have cheated in COD and other games (something that only CFW users can do) and people who have pirated stuff (not sure how they detected that, most recent one was Black Ops II, where people went online before the game was even released).
But a lot of people are using PSN on CFW without problems. I do expect the ban wave to hit though for a lot of those who hack their trophies. Again history has shown that Sony doesn't care about trophies but they do take it seriously when someone hacks PSN. Following this guide is detectable by Sony, I know that for sure.

Sorry m8 but they can detect CFW in PSN. They might check the firmware hash for example. For 2 years i also used Kmeaw CFW and i got an email from Sony. They registered CFW on my Ps3 machine. They truely can detect CFW. I think it is also dangerous to buy here from the trophy section hacked trophies. They are logged into with my account details and CFW.
But anyway it is my opinion.
Sony starts to ban and not only COD cheaters or BO2 players.

this might be stuped question but wat is the transaction log.
and do i have to edit 1A-1B-1C, etc... when i see one? if so is it the same as with when you see the numbers like 01,02,03,etc
