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:\.

• 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:

You must login or register to view this content.


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.


You must login or register to view this content.


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.

Its all a speculation. But what probably happens is that Sony will ban users who do the most harm - like ruin other players fun by cheating in multiplayer games - if they catch you doing that you will be banned for sure. Another thing is if they catch you pirating stuff - people played Black Ops online before it was even released - a lot of them got banned. I have never heard so far from people getting banned by just having cfw. They either pirated stuff, cheated or hacked something. They have millions of users, so they can't monitor everyone - they have to pick who they observe more closely. So for hacking trophies - chances of getting banned for that are slim, yet you might be on a more serious observation after you do that.

i have 2 questions:

first:
when i wanted to mod a trophy of i game i allready had trophies of, i noticed something.
on the xmb i shows that i have collected 7 trophies, but in the troptrns.dat it shows that only 5 are unlocked.

why is this and what should i do?

second:

what is this file "_BU_NPW"?
is it important or can i deleted it?

Do you have more than 1 console? Maybe only 5 are unlocked on this one?

If I remember correctly its a backup when new version of the trophy collection is installed. Usually happens when you install a game patch that adds DLC trophies. No need to delete it.

no only 1 console.
do you know what could be the cause?

would it be ok if i put in the remaining 2 trophies, if i use the same time? (i can see the time on the psn website)

also i was wondering, would it be possible to do this?:

use rebug firmware to unlock all trophies then copying to your pc. decrypt and directly after that encrypt it.
then put it back again.

Not really thats something that doesn't happen legit.

You can put whatever time you want as the information is not overwritten on PSN. I have tested it with legit accounts on 2 separate consoles. Whichever console gets synced first will stay on PSN. Even when the other console has information about the trophy unlocked earlier

Possible - yes, but whats the point. It doesn't change anything. Rebug has unlocking feature for trophies but last time I checked it, it didn't touch the TROPTRNS.DAT file only TROPUSR.DAT.

first - weirldy i did

second - is it best to take a different time, so that it doesn't look suspicious? or should i put a extra 10 in the second line to make it look like it's allready synced.

Third - i'm gonna try this out, but first i gonna check if the trophtrns get's edited.

and another question, i already synced my trophies once.
i got an error when i wanted to sync it again after i edited the troptrns a second time.
i heard that you need to deleted the trophy and reinstall it everytime you edited and want to synced it.

My question is now, if i edit the trophies that i didn't edit before i synced the first time, but now i did would i get a error because i allready synced my tophies? or will they still sync because i didn't edit them?

All the needed information about TROPTRNS.DAT file is in the first post and posts following it. Also information about the correct timestamps is there and from your comment I see that you haven't read them.

TROPTRNS.DAT can contain information about trophies that are unlocked and synced or just unlocked. To unlock new trophies it doesn't have to have the information about those trophies that are already unlocked. Syncing will not add that information there either. Just recreate your trophy files (either by removing the NPW... folder and starting game or by removing account and recreating it) and change that.

Does anybody have an automatic tool they're going to release? I've tried this on 3 different troptrns.dat, and none seem to work (sync, but no change in count)
