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.

i have around 60 Platinum light achieved (Using saves and by my self not using this method)
i am afraid to go online and sync now so they think i did it this way and ban me so i need advice of the safest and best way to do it
i am thinking to go to OFW 4.31 and sync as my original account already have 200 + Plat and i don't want to lose it
and if this is the safest way how to clean my console cache before go to OFW without deleting trophy settings and is syncing 60 plat on OFW safe or is it safer to wait for new OFW to come out that there is no CFW for it and then sync

Obviously there's been another "ban wave" recently after Sony's latest maintenance
They finally caught me, around Jan. 25
I can assure you 100%, it is not because of "hacked" trophies
I never played Black Ops 2, but have been online with the latest Devil May Cry game release, used PS Unban ids, etc
Also, I used PSNinja and cleared logs after using MultiMan and PS Unban, while logging online only during game
The point is, you will find a way to get yourself banned sooner or later if you log online with CFW
Having said that, I believe the focus of this thread should be transferring our lost trophies from banned PSN ids to a new PSN id, for the benefit of others and yourselves in future. I believe it is possible after seeing this thread, but would like some clear instructions on how.

Do a barrel roll!
I provided instructions how to transfer trophies from 1 account to another. The hints are a little technical I admit, but it has all the information needed and it has been confirmed that you can do that with trophy files from the same console. Probably doesn't work with the files from other consoles as files have hashes inside that use console_id.
Saying that the last ban wave has nothing to do with trophies is incorrect, it might not be the only reason but we never know. Look Sony doesn't have resource to monitor and analyze every single account in their network. They have to single out those what are more suspicious and investigate those further. When they can prove that any of those accounts are using CFW, are cheating and/or pirating then they will ban. So using any of these guides or tools you probably appear in those shortlists sooner or later.
I can explain why. When you gain trophies legit you rarely experience any of these errors that people get when they modify their files incorrectly. Thats the first sign that the user is suspicious. Now when you analyze those accounts you can see for sure that they are cheating as files you guys modify here don't look legit (even when they sync). First your timestamps are incorrect in most cases this one I have explained already, next your TROPUSR.DAT and TROPTRNS.DAT are out of sync, and there are other clues.
Then again you probably have nothing to worry about if you have gained your trophies legit and are just using CFW. Your files are legit and don't rise any alarms. Well maybe they might rise some attention when you sync 50 plats at the same time but if you don't pirate your games, cheat in any of the games your chances of getting a ban because of cfw are slim. I don't work for Sony and everything I say is just a common sense and speculation but based on the work I used to do (credit card theft prevention).

What I ment by that is the hashes inside the trophy files use console_id, signing and crypting the files do not. Thats why your console_id can be 00000000000000000000000000000000 inside the global.conf.
So when your console and account are banned and you want to unban your console and transfer trophies to another account you have the reverse engineer the hashing inside the files. TROPTRNS.DAT has 160 byte block with RSA signature and SHA1-HMAC hash and TROPUSR.DAT has 20 byte hash that might be MD5-HMAC but I'm not sure. But to transfer your files from one console to another or to use another console_id on your banned console you have to resign them to that id.
My suggestion is, forget the trophies. The system is broken. I mean would you buy a lottery ticket when you knew that the winner is known beforehand? You can never brag anymore when you have platted some very hard game as you are automatically suspected as cheater.
