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
    [URL="https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/"]Download HxD[/URL]


• 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:

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.

everything works flawlessly when i unlock it from zero percent
Example: 1
167: 00 00 00 90 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

Example: 2
If i get this variations like that
16B: 00 00 00 90 00 00 00 51 00 00 00 51 00 00 00 00

i have to change both ? because it is inefficient for me if i change it just 167 (Example: 2)

thank you

If you have that 2nd number, I think it means trophy has been synced before.
You should delete user and re-do because it may not work if you try editing that specific trans.dat.
You should only have to mod one number on line 167.
(Also, 51 should be converted to hex = 34)

When your finished editing it doesnt show in your trophys folder, itll still say 0% because you only edited the TRNS files and not the TROPUSR so dont give up hope. The only way to know if it worked for you or if your doing it right or not, is to try syncing them online. Then your timestamps and unlocked trophys will show up.

So there will be no excuse to do this so that you can use with the Xploder?? thanks

Do a barrel roll!
Xploder has nothing to do with this. One method is to gain trophies other tool is for resigning save games. Fact that some people are using xploder to get trophies faster does not mean that thats what this tool is meant for.

Has anyone released another tool for this yet? Ive been using the same old one for 1.5 months and im getting tired of all my platiums having the 6:59 or 11:59 timestamp. The author of the tool sats he "doesnt have time" to update his program. So ill put my money elsewhere. Id like something with the option to adjust indiviual timestamps, not just start and finish date. Im paying paypal only. Serious buyer. Please PM me.
