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.

This looks pretty awesome. Even if you won't release your whole tool (what is imo the best choice), it would be cool if you teach us how to make a more accurate timestamp generator (with miliseconds in it). I have actually no idea which algo is used to create the date+time for the timestamp in hex.
Thanks mate!
Thanks to cheetahh pointing me in the right direction with the meaning of both timestamps i totally reworked my timestamp logic.
I'm close to having perfectly generated trophy timestamps. Left one being rounded UP second precision, right one being actual ticks (actual timestamp). Just have to fine tune it now. Sadly i have no time today, but hope to get it done tomorrow.
And don't get confused with editing timestamps in hex. In the code you actually work with epochtimes. Once done you just convert them to hex, that's all there is. Don't try to edit Timestamps directly in Hex. xD

I use Rebug 4.30.x and it works like a charm.

in the toolkit i got 4 files
games.conf
global.conf
pfdtool.exe
trns tool.exe
questions:
1. do we have to fill up games.conf with any data?
2. do they have to be in the same directory? any drive or in c:\
???
Thanks

1. You shouldnt need to touch games.conf for this.
2. Put all those files in one folder, then put the folder(s) of the games you want to decrypt in C:\

well this is how i did it.
first i added 6 trophies to a game.
but when i sync them only 4 of them were synced.
i found out that when i was trying to unlock a trophy it with not the trophy that i wanted (in my case trophy 12,18,19).
i was looking at it all wrong, i understand now that for example that 12=0C, i thought of it as i decimal and not as a hex.
(strangely there was one trophy that i was able to unlock trophy number 18, but i only filled it on the block where i saw the trophy id nmbr 18 (normally i should be 12, but it still unlocked and i don't know why)
i thought that this was the problem i removed the past mistakes (starting from 12-19), chose the right trophies (12=0C, 18=12,...)
i went on untill i unlocked 12 trophies, i then filled in the offset: 0B (because i unlocked 10 trophies+1= 11 and in hex=0B)
and did the same procedure as i did to unlock the other trophies. but when i try to sync them i get an error.
i allready checked it twice and haven't found any mistakes.

ah, prob coz the file was already synced. simple solution, if ur on rebug just delete the trophy file and get new fresh blank 0%, then copy and paste the values from the one u fixed. then sync again. if ur not on rebug, just delete ur user and sign up again. im pretty certains thats the problem. so yeah let me know if it works out

Thanks dude, noe the problem is that if trns tool is in the same dir as pfdtool the first give me error: some like mvc dll error
If i run trnstool without pfdtool in the dir it say successfully decrypted but when i open troptrns.dat in hex editor it doesn't seem decrypted, how do i tell if it is decrypted right?

i make new fresh one (0%).
copy it to my pc and put the values in it and then put it back into my ps3.
is this what you mean
