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.

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.

that's still encrypted, without using my tool, just use this:

-Open cmd
-Rename pfdtool folder "pfdtool" and put it on desktop
-on cmd, execute string "cd desktop\pfdtool"
-on cmd, execute string "pfdtool.exe -d C:\NPWR00000\ TROPTRNS.DAT"
-on cmd, execute string "pfdtool.exe -u C:\NPWR00000\ TROPTRNS.DAT"
-Your troptrns.dat must be decrypted if you did this correctly

I've heard that some people have had PSN accounts banned because of trophy hacking. Any details on this? Is it because of illegitimate time stamps? Excessive use (I've seen people boost up to the level 100 cap with CFW hacks on psnprofiles You must login or register to view this content.?

It's interesting that Sony may be taking steps to crack down on trophy hacking, where in the past they have ignored it completely even with the instant-plat Xploder hacks that had timestamps within seconds of each other.

What do we know?

I have a friend who works for Sony (as a cyber security) programmer.
He actually told me that Sony is working on programming/policies that would remove any obvious "hacked trophy" games from a users list.
Whether it is ever put into place is another thing.

But they are not considering permanent bans, like Microsoft does.

i dont believe they actually got ban for trophy hacking i think it was more a case of people being ban for accessing psn whilst on cfw...

Interesting. I was told they already banned some accounts, including game2nice, LibertyCity1983, and others (but this has not been directly confirmed). Not sure how timestamps were configured for those accounts.

We'll see how this plays out.

i too have a friend that works for playstation, he also told me a while ago sony was going to do something about these hacked trophies. making you not able to sync hacked trophies because it sends red flags to your account everytime. u even get red flags if you get corrupted data from a game. red flags have different levels. whether they do this or not, he assured me that i would be safe because he monitors things like this. as long as he checks my account and not say anything, i will be safe. so he says. so far im fine on 5 accounts hacking. if they do ban, it will be account and not console ban. so if you do, just do another account. if they ban your console, its your fault. i know im risking it everyday syncing my plats with individual timestamps, but until they email me with something about this, or a temp ban, then i'll stop. otherwise, im making it RAIN PLATS" FOR ME. FTW!!!! lol
