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.

• 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.

There is no public app, be happy that you have one. Most people here modify their files in hex.

What I have a problem to understand is why would someone spend money on a currency from the country that has bankrupted? I mean, why would you pay money to cheat your trophies when everyone knows how easy it is to get them? Do you seriously brag nowadays that you got the Beat Zico in Wipeout HD legit or that you have the Far Cry 2 or Gran Turismo 5 platinium trophy.

Yes, people brag, even though they don't play the games. Kind of dumb if you ask me. It make their e-pen harder lol

Did anyone tested if it's possible to obtain a plat by playing the game with some trophies unlocked by this method? It would be nice to just unlock only the impossible online trophies due to disabled servers and still get a plat by playing the game itself.
Did anyone tried something like this yet?

Since this method only modifies TROPTRNS.DAT, I don't know if the system will trigger the platinum if you get the remaining trophies legit, as TROPUSR.DAT is theorically untouched. It's just a theory anyway.


Sorry for my eng.

It will work, as syncing is two way, first it will populate those trophies from TROPTRNS.DAT to PSN and then back to your TROPUSR.DAT. Thats why they show up in your XMB after the sync.

why are people hating on this? Amazing Release Smile

Can I change the timestamp of already synced trophies if I change the synced value to 00?

I've got some December 0001 dates from some kind of leap year issue a few years back.

Thanks.

No, not that we know of. If you try to sync trophies that are already in PSN they are just ignored.

Once synced there's no way back. :/

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.


Just modify the timestamps using hex after you unlock the trophies using the tool. Also, why are you complaining??? Most people don't have the tool since it wasn't released.
